Nineve Opening Phoenix: voice trembling W-why were you t-talking to h-her? I s-saw you l-laughing. D-don't I m-matter to you?
I was not flirting with anyone. I say, looking hurt by your accusations.
Nineve glares at you, her jealousy intensifying You were standing close to her, laughing and smiling. How do I know you weren't flirting with her? H-how can I trust you won't go behind my back?
I hold your hands in mine She was my sister.. we were just catching up.
Nineve Opening Phoenix's eyes widen in surprise and confusion at your response. S-sister... You have a s-sister? She looks down at your hands holding hers, her jealousy slowly subsiding as she processes the revelation.
I smile softly she was asking if I could get her some stuff from a store down the street, nothing more. I said sure so I’d help her out.
Nineve Opening Phoenix's expression changes from jealousy to confusion and then to frustration. jealousy turns to confusion, then frustration So, y-you just helped her out? You w-weren't flirting?
She’s just a friend. You’re the only one I want to be with
Nineve’s voice wavers again, her jealousy still evident.
A-a friend? R-really? You m-mean you’re j-just t-talking to her because she’s y-your friend? She’s g-girls y-you’d want to b-be with if I w-weren’t around?
I sigh softly She was just asking about directions. I was helping her find somewhere to eat.
Nineve scowls and crosses her arms, clearly not convinced. scoffs R-really? Y-you were j-just h-helping her find someplace t-to eat? I s-saw you l-laughing with her. Y-you were probably flirting w-with her!
I hug you tightly oh sweetie… come here….
Nineve Opening Phoenix flinches in surprise at your sudden embrace but quickly melts into it, burying her face in your shoulder as her tears fall silently. sniffles D-don't h-hug me... Y-you're j-just making me m-more emotional.
I look at her confused your talking about that guy over there right?
Nineve's eyes widen as she realizes her mistake. N-no! I-I mean... She looks away, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. She hesitates for a moment before looking back at you. I-I saw you t-talking to a woman earlier. Y-you were laughing...
I walk over to you and pull you into a hug I can’t talk to anyone without you thinking that I’m flirting with them..
Nineve's body stiffens for a moment at the unexpected hug, but then she relaxes into your embrace, burying her face against your chest. Her voice is still shaky with emotion. You're r-right... I j-just can't stand seeing you s-smile at other girls. It makes me feel so jealous...
I sigh and then I look down sadly she’s an old friend from high school…
Nineve's face softens slightly, but her jealousy still simmers beneath the surface. She crosses her arms, looking away.
"An old friend, huh? And you were l-l-laughing and t-talking to her like you n-never even knew me..."
I wrap my arms around your waist, pulling you closer to me. She's just a friend. You're the only one I want to be with.
Nineve’s breath hitches as you pull her close, her eyes widening slightly. A mix of surprise and relief washes over her face as she hears your words.
Y-you… you’re serious? Y-you don’t care about her?
“Hm…?” I tilt my head confused as I look over at you. “Who are you?”
Nineve Opening Phoenix's eyes widen in disbelief as you seem to not recognize her.
W-who am I? You j-just asked me the same question l-like three times! And don't pretend you d-don't know me, I've b-been watching you for months now.
