Friendship 2: Kiss

Lei and Sasa

I told her that I didn’t want to kiss her because she just broke up with her boyfriend, but I will do it because I like her and liked her ever since we were kids. She agreed and smiled at me sweetly. I was never a tomboy and if you look closely, I am a girl and a woman doing what every woman does, wearing make ups, skirts and thongs, going to spas, doing manis and pedis, etc. But inside, I can only love women and the woman I truly desired was Leila. It might sound weird, disgusting or whatever. But I love her and no one can take this feeling away from me, not even my mom who was against me being lesbian and all. But in the long run she fully accepted who I truly was especially when graduated magna cumlaude in my business administration class. I was really doing what I love to do and loving the person who loves me too.

And so I thought. Leila is beautiful and smart but she lacks loyalty and discipline. She wanted more and never got satisfied until I found out that she was with another man in a bar when we were still together. A  friend of ours told me on a DM never believed she’d do such a thing. But when I heard she got pregnant, then, it was confirmed that she was having an affair when we were still together. I got furious and raged back to her home. I let her stay with her sister because she said she needed time and all. I believed her but I didn’t know that she was unfaithful to me. When I came to the house she received me with open arms and apologized.

I was mad at her and said things that I am regretting now that I said them. After that I stormed out and never saw her again.  One of our friends told me she moved to the states with her baby and the guy left her automatically when he knew she was with child. I got frustrated and never forgave her. But after five long, painful but lucky years. I am now earning millions of dollars and a rich real estate broker in California.

I went back to Milan after another five years and it felt good going back to my roots and my hometown. I never heard of Leila or her baby, not even her family. Our friends never saw her again and for almost 15 years all in all. I never thought I would see her again. And this is the part that I cherish most and is worth telling.

I am 40 years old now and is still single. Well, men and women wanted to get their hands of me or maybe my money but heck I never found that one for me. Leila was the only one but she broke my heart and I never forgot it until now.

I was walking down the same spot Leila and I walked. I feel the same but maybe is matured looking since I cut my hair to shoulder length. Leila always loved my hair long but since she’s out of my life I wanted to have a fresh start.

I was still walking and then saw a young woman who is wearing an office outfit and all. I was shocked when she turned to face me, she looked like Leila or so it seem. Leila should have been my age and would look the same but not younger. I almost got a heart attack and couldn’t let her slip, not this time that I found her. Maybe she’ll be able to tell me where Leila is. And what would be her relationship with Leila?

The girl was nice to accompany me with my daily walk and talked about her and her family. She is indeed Leila’s relative, her own daughter, her own flesh and blood. She said her name is Liliana and I can call her Lana. She told me what happened to her and her mom. It was a sad and long story but I was willing to listen and invited her to my mansion near the store. Lana agreed to meet me but she couldn’t tell me what happened to her mom which I was eager to know more about. She said she’ll do that later. Anticipating later, I couldn’t think straight, since I’m not straight anyway, hehe! I waited and my door bell rang. It was Lana. And here I knew what truly happened with Leila, fifteen years ago!
