[Ornaldo's POV]

"Thanks very much for honouring my invitation"

I said even though I was a bit pissed off about it being interrupted.

"It's my pleasure"
She replied and smiled at me.

"Don't worry. I can get out myself".

She had interrupted as I wanted to get out and open the door for her.

" Good night".
She added.

"Sound sleep Emily"
I said.

She gave me a slight nod and got down from the car.

Immediately she disappeared from the beautiful pathway into the house, I drove off.

I was stuck in traffic for a while.

I just wondered what Gwen had to say.
We hadn't spoken since then.

Since I kissed Emily.

It wasn't entirely my fault.

Gwen just wasn't the one for me.

I know I had hurt her though.

I finally pulled up at her house.
I rang the doorbell and waited.

"Come in"
She muttered as I followed her inside.

"Orlando"
She called out softly.

"Gwen, I know what this is about and I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that but I couldn't help it"
I said. 

"Yeah right,you couldn't help it. You could have at least told me you weren't interested in me anymore"

Gwen said, a bit of hurt expressed on her face.

"You know what? Let's just end this right now. I know this isn't going to end well. So let's just save ourselves the trouble and put an end to it"

She continued.

"I think you're right. What I felt for you was just an infatuation not love. I love someone else"

I confessed.

I felt lighter now, like I had been relieved of my burdens and guilt.

"Okay. It's settled now. Since my previous relationship ended on a rocky note, I wouldn't like this one too to end the same way. So let's remain friends".

" Friends?"

I asked and stretched out my hand for a handshake.

"Friends"

She replied and shook my hands.
