Addicted → Leonardo Dicaprio

new friends

" Well your from NYC, i'm guessing he's back there?" Jane asked.
" Yeah, we were suppose to do long distance, then things kind of fell apart, so i guess i'm just as confused as you are"

That was the last i spoke during the evening. Thinking about leo, made me upset, and i was glad that they didn't really push it out of me. They seemed to already know my comfort zone and weren't pushy enough to ask anymore questions, and for that i'm grateful.

Harriet walked me home and gave me her number to call her later. I also got all of the others phones numbers, and they said they might watch a movie if i was interested, but i wasn't really up to going out tonight.

I did last minute cleaning of the apartment, to help brush off the consuming thoughts of Leo. I felt sort of sad, yet excited to see what the future held for me in London. It was so different from what i am used to, and i'm starting to see myself as a London - girl.

I was about to take off my makeup, and stay in for the rest of the day before i got a text from Milo, out of all people.

It was nice to meet you - Milo
~~~~~~~~
Right back at you! - Tilly
~~~~~~~~
You have plans for tonight? The crew was thinking of going to the movies if you would like to come?
~~~~~~~~
I'm a little tired....
~~~~~~~~
So am i. Pls come.... If you need to sleep during the movie you can use my shoulder.
~~~~~~~~
Wow so thoughtful of you. What time were you guys thinking?
~~~~~~~~
6pm. So two hours. Harriet said that we could meet you outside yours? If that suits you. Otherwise it's a 10 minute walk from the restaurant we just ate at.
~~~~~~~~
Would you mind meeting me outside mine?
~~~~~~~~
Sure thing. see you at 6.

Even though i didn't really want to go, Milo gave me an offer i couldn't refuse. I know he offered his 'shoulder' as a joke, but right now that doesn't seem so bad.

My irresponsible thoughts were again, interupted by a phone call.
Leo....
He's calling me? At this time? it's must be 2am in NYC, why is he calling me.

"Leo?"
" Oh tilly it's good to hear your voice"
" You too! i miss you? Why are you up so late?"
" I had a terrible nightmare, and i couldn't get back to sleep. It was awful"

" What was the nightmare?"
" you really want to know?"
" Yeah of course"
" Well it was of you."
my stomach churned, when he said it was of me.

" It's silly now that i think of it. I was walking the streets outside our apartment complex. And then i saw you, sitting with this random boy at a restaurant. Then he leaned in and started to kiss you, almost at my own expense. I tried to scream, yet nothing came out. I hated seeing his hands on you and his lips touching yours, it made me feel lost"

oh.. the chances..

" Leo it was just a dream, there's nothing to worry about. I'm here talking to you"
" I know. But just the thought of that happening scares me."
" You don't have to worry"

" I miss you Til"
" I miss you more. You have no idea, i was just at a lunch with some of harriets friends"
" Oh that sounds nice, you seem to have settled down quite quickly"
" Yeah it's oddly strange how quickly i've moved on"
" Moved on?"
" Well you know what i mean. Not from you, from NYC to London."
" Yeah..."
" Anyway, changing the topic, when i was at lunch, there was this guy named Milo, and he looks exactly like you but with brown hair"
" Oh okay"
" He even has your sense of quirky humour and your big smile."

" What are you trying to prove Tilly?"
" What do you mean?"
his change of tone made me suddenly nervous.

" Your saying that it was easy to move on from me, and that you've already found my replacement, i get the message"
" What on earth, that's not true at all and you know it. Your acting childish"
" I'm not Tilly, do you even understand how hard this change was for me. You were so close to me and i can feel you slipping from out of my fingers"

I could feel the breakdown coming on.

" Leo you'll always be my best friend and the one person in my life that i call home. How could you even say that"
" Because you seem pretty keen about Milo, maybe i should make a trip down there and put him in his rightful place"

Leo coming to London? the thought alone excited me, but i know it wouldn't happen for a while.

" I would like that"
the words quickly leave my mouth.

" You would?"
" I mean, right now it wouldn't be so bad. I wanna see you"
" Look i'm trying to get angry right now, and your sudden mood change Tilly isn't helping. I'm starting to think that you want me to put you in your place?"
" I.... oh my"
" I didn't do that enough whilst you were in New york, but that doesn't mean i didn't want it."

this got sexual really quickly, and i don't know what to think about it.

" Goodnight, and i swear to god, if you touch Milo, i'll be down their in a moments notice. Goodbye tilly."

With flushed cheeks, and a muffled head, he hung up before i could say anything else. And i'm glad, because i felt like this conversation could of taken a wicked, twisted turn.
