Chloe~
I feel an even bigger sense of loss since I last chatted with Zac. I put myself out there saying I love him. I really thought we were on the same page and me pushing him like I did would get him to –
“What? You think he’d do the same as Aiden and cross and ocean for you? Come on! Pft…” I’ve been lying on my bed scolding myself for telling him how I feel and then running away like a headless chicken.
His response gutted me. In not so many words he told me to have fun, in other words to find someone new and shag away.
Ugh … my life sucks balls. Huge donkey ones.
~*~
The next day I’m the first to message Zac. I need to make things right. I can’t lose his friendship, I at least need that if I can’t have him.
‘Sorry for being such a wanker yesterday. You’ve become a dear friend to me and I treasure our chats. I don’t want to lose them. ;)’
“There I even added a damn smiley face. Fuck, Chloe you’re talking way too much to yourself,” I scold while I wait for his reply. “As long as you don’t answer yourself, you’re not mental.” I blow a few strands out of my face. “Oh fuck it, I just answered myself. I’m a total nutty arse.”
‘I’m the one who should apologize. You’re a dear friend to me too.’
“Ugh, that’s it?” I rub my eyes to ease the sting I already feel coming on. “What did you expect a bloody love declaration? At least he’s your friend, be bloody happy with that.”
I need to put some space between us. This chatting everyday is what’s driving me mental. I need to go out again. I need to have fun.
I do just that. I log off and get dressed in my usual short skirt and matching jacket. Tonight I’m getting rat-arsed. I’m not coming home before I drink Zac out of my system.

Zac~
I haven’t heard from Chloe in two days. She still hasn’t responded to my message. I think it’s time I realize we’re only meant to be friends. At least she opened my eyes and made me see that I’m ready to move on. I’m still a hot-blooded man with needs and it’s okay to start a new future. I should thank her. Of course I won’t! I’m just saying I should.
~*~
It’s been a month since we had our ‘friends’ conversation. I now hear from Chloe once a week, ironically it’s also on Sundays. I now spend my Sundays talking to both the women who left me. Come on, you have got to see the irony in that.
I don’t stalk her anymore, well not every day, now it’s just every third or fourth day, depending on the case I have.
I still miss her, but I know this is for the better. Some people cross your path and you’re just meant to be friends. She’ll always be special to me.

Chloe~
It’s Sunday and I’m waiting like an idiot for Zac to sign on. He’s already thirty minutes late.
After waiting another hour I sign off. I go to my kitchen and pour myself a glass of wine. Bugger that, I’m done. If he doesn’t even have the decency to let me know he won’t make it, why should I bother.
I finish the bottle on my own before I drag my knackered arse to bed.
That night I sleep like a baby, knowing things are really over between us. Zac is really just another friend.

ZAC
I found love twice … I lost it twice.
Screw that, who says I have to be the one to lose again?
I told Chloe I would fight for her and I’m going to. She’s my forever-girl and this time I’m going to make her see it.
