A Woman Hopelessly In Love - Chapter 15 Friendship

She hugged him tight, and dug her face into his chest and started crying even louder. He tried calming her down but nothing could calm her down. She was at the verge of break down. Alex hugged her tighter as she sobbed endlessly. His warm hands and tight hug was a huge relief to her always. Alex Wang, her best friend/ overprotective bodygaurd, he is much closer to Shirley than Naomi. He is the one for her at all resorts, yeah in that past years they may have not met much but anything that happens in their lives , they make it sure they share with each other.

Shirley met Alex Wang on her first day to medical school. He was the prodigal son of the locality businessman of Wang Industries. He had everything he wanted at his request and he thought he would get royal treatment and get a girlfriend too the same way. He had forgotten his text book for the class and had borrowed Shirley’s but forgot to return it back (on purpose) and she had to remind him again and again to return it but he wouldn’t so it ended up in an argument with her naming him ” Rich Bastard” and him calling her ” stingy”. They kept fighting all the time running in to each other during classes.

Naomi was the most beautiful girl in our University but she was in Business management Department, and she would finish her classes and come find Shirley to spend some quality time, before Andrew came along to take her away from her ( in Naomi’s words). Alex got his eyes on her the 2nd day of our college and fell head over heels for her later on realized that Shirley and Naomi were best friends.

He then started by talking with Shirley, by being nice to her , by apologizing then getting her home cooked meals, offering her lift on his bicycle to the library which she never agreed too. And finally they became friends with each other. He opened up saying ” Shirlz !! … Hmm…” Shirley knew from the beginning that what all this was about so she poked his arms and asked ” Wat?? Did the cat catch your tongue?” He blushed and she saw his rosy cheeks and she was so happy and she asked satcastically ” You have a crush???…!.. I know who it is… That’s why you became friends with me right? I will introduce you to her …. Don’t worry …come find me at lunch.” Shirley started to get her bag and walk away.

His face turned grumpy and his blush disappeared and he caught her hand and said ” I accept that I started our friendship with wrong intentions but once I got to know you I started liking your company and you changed my braty behavior and made my grades go up and taught me how to respect every relationship. And meanwhile even if you didn’t introduce me to my crush I don’t mind, beacuse after listening about your and Andrews relationship I envy you guys and I will make friends with her on my own.” Shirley scuffed at him, and said ” Envious … Ha… really” Shirley said with fluttering her eye lids. He responded ” Aigoo…. So cute… Let me hug you.. ahhh.” And she got up and ran saying “no..no…no” and when he was chasing her, she suddenly ran into someone and dashed herself into his hard, strong and firm chest. The smell was so familiar…the lemon scent and she knew instantly it was him.. it was Andrew.. her Andrew. She looked up to him with puppy eyes and placed her hand on his chest. He in return to show full authority on her as if she was his belonging, bended a little low kissed her forehead and pulled her up from her waist and gave her a tight hug and whispered ” Ahh.. I missed you so much” and all his friends would sigh ‘ huh’.. ‘show off … ‘Too much .” And Shirley blushed.while hugging her Andrew gave Alex a stern and cold look.

There was a weird wibe in between Alex and Andrew. They always gave each other a cold look. But behave very nicely to each other in front of her. They even had a one on one basketball game.. Andrew won without doubt he was a state champion. But later when Shirley knew it from Naomi she was upset with each of them and didn’t speak to either of them for 3 whole days. But she fell sick due exertion and studies, and they ended up blaming themselves and guilt got the better of them and they apologized to each other and they became friends. Shirley was so relieved because Alex became like her best friend / over protective bodygaurd…. huh it was exhausting for her.

He would take her to all his parties as his plus one his family was very open to her as they appreciated her hard work in changing their spoiled brat into a gentleman. His sister Claire Wang, 2nd in power in Wang Industries was the most happiest and excited to meet her . She hugged her tight on there first meet and couldn’t stop speaking and in the end she became like her elder sister too. Going to there parties was always a task for her, it would always be grand she had to get all the things done …waxing, eyebrows, manicure , pedicure and facial… Huh it was a huge thing. But he would literally beg her and when she refused sternly he would ask his Dad or sister to call her and get her convinced.

Andrew got busier and busier with his projects. And finally one day he called her after an audition and asked her were she was. She was at the library he asked her to meet in the campus garden. She got all her books and started to walk towards the garden she noticed from afar Andrew running towards her. He came and lifted her up and started spinning her and she didn’t know what to do. She screamed ” Andrew??? What’s the matter??” He said ” I am very happy I am sooooo happy… I wanted to tell you first” he put her back on ground but held her tight against his chest and said ” I passed the audition. I got my first acting job. Thanks to you and for your support.. Shirley.. I love you so much” and he bend a little down and he kissed her lips passionately making her knees go weak while he held tightly on her waist supporting her whole weight.
