Kimmon's POV

I did not realize that I had pushed Copter hard enough to send him to the floor. I quickly got off the bed and went to him.

"Cop, are you alright?" I asked. He was grimacing a little and it made me feel guilty. I might have overreacted.

"I'm alright," he said while I was helping him up. "But why did you push me off the bed?"

I thought it was time to have an open conversation with him. Our relationship would go into tatters if both of us were hiding things from each other.

"Copter," I started after both of us sat back in bed, "look me in the eye and say that there's nothing going on between you and this Liana person."

He looked down at his hands resting on his lap and heaved a sigh.

"Liana is my older sister's friend," he said.

"You told me that already!" I cried in exasperation. "What else are you not telling me???"

"P'Kim," he said, "I don't really know what Liana and I are to each other."

"Oh, you don't??? And you don't know why you call her sweetheart and honey???" I cried.

"I only call her that in a casual way. I don't mean it the way I mean it when I call you sweetheart. Liana and I never made anything official between us. We just enjoyed spending time together. If I felt something really special for her I would not have agreed to even audition for our Two Moons series because it would take so much time away from her and I wouldn't have been able to bear it."

Both of us fell silent. I was thinking hard after Copter's little speech. Should I believe all the things he just said?

"P'Kim"

"Copter"

We spoke at the same time. Then we both fell silent again.

"Copter," I broke the silence. "I really would like to believe that you are not lying to me. That whatever your feelings are for me are both sincere and true. But what are you gonna do when the series is over and Liana comes back into your life? Wait, the series is not even over yet and already she's been communicating with you. What are you gonna do about it?"

He looked down at his hands again and made me wait a while before he answered.

"Give me a chance to call her to let her know that I have always considered her only as a close friend and nothing more."

"And when you say you were close friends, did you spend a lot of time with her and did you feel some attraction for her?" I was twisting the knife in my heart but still I needed to know.

When he averted his face, I didn't need to get a verbal response from him. I looked away as well, my tears starting to trickle down my cheeks.

I made a move to get out of bed to go to the bathroom to wash my face.

"No, P'Kim," he said, grabbing my arm. "Listen to me, please, I will admit that I felt some attraction for her in the beginning but everything has changed from the time I met you. In fact I had totally forgotten about her until she called me."

"I really don't know what to think right now," I said. "I just want to wash my face and sort my thoughts. Please excuse me." I gently took his hand off my arm and went to the bathroom.

While I was splashing my face with cold water I tried to calm my thoughts down that were spinning around in a turmoil.

He had admitted that he had felt attracted to her in the beginning.  I do believe, though, that when one is attracted to another that attraction can always come back in a moment of weakness. Should I risk getting hurt when the close and daily contact with Copter is over or should I fight for my love for him and try to keep him always close to my side?

Should I even have to fight for my love for him? Does he not even love me enough that I have to fight for his love? I started sobbing again. I kept splashing cold water on my face but tears wouldn't stop flowing. I couldn't wipe them away fast enough.
