--So guys, I know some of you are backlashing Leo for dating Hazel when he still has feelings for Claire, um, remember no human is perfect, everyone is bound to make mistakes, just take it as a normal human being making mistakes, but that does not mean you are not allowed to eat him up, haha, backlashing is allowed! I just wanted to clear it up.

... 

He was so fucked up!

How could he think of Claire when kissing Hazel? He tried to shut her out and concentrate but no matter how much he tried she kept appearing in his eyes. Even today at the party, when he saw her, his heart still skipped a beat. What was wrong with him? Why did he still have feelings for someone who didn't love him?

He thought dating someone else would take away the feeling but no, anytime he saw her, he still felt that pang in his chest. Maybe he needed more time to get over her. Maybe he just needed to get more intimate with Hazel then maybe he would stop thinking about her.

Leo slammed his hand against the steering, a frustrated sigh leaving his lips. It was his fault for waiting this long, if he had given up on her a long time ago, his love wouldn't have grown so deep and taken roots in his heart. But it is fine, he was progressing with Hazel, if he spent more and more time with her, surely, his love for Claire would diminish. She was a sweet soul and it hurt him that he didn't love her the way he should. It hurt him that he had lied to her, even though he knew it was for the best. She didn't deserve this and he was going to try his best to treat her better.

''Tiana? ''

Tiana's footsteps stopped when she heard a familiar voice call and she turned around in shock; her eyes shot open when she saw the last person that could ever come into her mind;

''Ad…Adrian? '' The name sounded strange on her lips, she couldn't believe that someone whom she loved so deeply and even imagined a future with could feel this alien.

Her brows creased as she watched him, not saying another word. Logically, she should have turned around and walked back to their table where Nicklaus was waiting for her, but she didn't know why her legs pinned to a spot.

Adrian's face filled with surprise and shock, first, this was Singapore, what was she doing here? This was the last place he had expected to see her. He stood reluctantly for a minute before he walked towards her,

''Tiana, it's been a long time. '' He smiled as his eyes admired her, Tiana couldn't say, but she saw a flash of surprise in his eyes as though he was stunned at how she had turned out.

''you look more beautiful than ever… '' he said, his eyes flicking down the length of her body before stopping on her face again.

Tiana was quietly staring at him; now she thought about it, what even attracted her to this man in the first place?

Was she so blind in love that she didn't even notice the flaws on his face? Come' on, how didn't she see his almost bald hair?

Tiana held in her chuckle and smiled; ''you don't look bad either; it's been a long time. ''

''Yeah, really long, didn't know I'll meet you here in Singapore. What are you doing here? ''

To think he was acting as though he had done nothing to her; as though he did not leave without a second thought and got together with another person in less than a month.

Tsk! Tiana couldn't believe she actually fell for this person. Was she cast a love spell or something?

''I'm here on a vacation, you? '' She asked, with a sweet smile on her lips. Contrary to expected, she wasn't even feeling anything for him, not even the slightest anger. In fact, she was happy things ended that way; else she wouldn't have married Nicklaus.

''Wow, I'm on a vacation too, with my girlfriend. ''

Oh, she's still a girlfriend. Tiana held in a chuckle as she thought;

''Wow, that's great, where is she? '' She looked behind him as though searching for his girlfriend.

''She's at the table; I came to use the restroom when I saw you. ''

''Oh, okay, extend my greetings to her. '' she grinned at him;

''Yeah, I will. '' Adrian said, his eyes still staring at her like she was some very cooked meal.

''Are you staying around for long? Let's exchange contacts so we can meet some other time and hang out or something?''

It was over 6 months; she should be done with the contract with Nicklaus Howells, and Adrian knew Tiana loved him a little too much. He just needed to tell her that he didn't contact her because of Nicklaus and he had to get a girlfriend in other to prove that he really had nothing to do with her anymore, and she would come running into his arms.

Damn, how did he let such a beauty slip away from his hands? He couldn't believe he had such beauty and he let her go.

Tiana laughed lightly; how stupid did he think she was? That she would want to have anything to do with him after so long? Now she thought about it, how did she ever forgive him after five months of not communicating? He said he was writing his final exams but that did not mean that he wasn't with his phone? 

Damn! He must really see her as a big fool!

Tiana chuckled, and then peeked at her phone as though someone was calling;

''My bad, my hubby is calling me, I need to go now. '' She smiled sweetly at him, making sure to catch the shocked expression on his face before she turned around with a satisfied smirk.

''Bye; '' she said walking away without glancing back.
