“Moon, there’s something we have to get straight-“ Rika began and I rolled my eyes. I didn't even bother to look at her. Sure, she had sat down beside me, but it didn't help how I would feel afterwards.
“You mean you have a boyfriend?” I asked simply, the question sounding cold. I guess I couldn't help it. Rika was fine now, and the guy she was with just seemed pathetic, but whatever suit her was fine with me... Just as long as she was happy. I could see out of the corner of my eye that she shook her head and looked at me sadly.
“No, that I have no boyfriend.”
......... Okay, what?
I lifted my head and looked at her confused. I honestly had no idea what to think.
“Tyler… It’s true we were going out…” Disappointment crossed my face and she quickly continued, “-b-but, that was back when I traveled with another group… before I was captured.”
I could understand that... I think.
“Liz, a different halfer. She was the one who liked him, but he was hopeless and couldn’t see that. So, Liz had worked out this plan that I go out with him for a few days, dump him and that would be when ‘she made her move’,” Rika explained and I thought it over.
In her eyes and face, there was truth, and I believed her, though it was hard. If Rika was telling the truth, then what about the other guy? Either he was hopelessly confused or something was just plain wrong with him. I wanted to believe Rika badly, but I had to know if I could trust her or not. So many things had gone wrong and gotten me confused just about her.
I looked Rika in the eyes after about a few minutes.
"I believe you," I told her as I just scooted closer to her, my heart half happy and the other half confused.
"But I need to know if I can really trust you. Whatever you need to tell me from here on out, I need to know, okay? I want you to trust me, and I want to trust you. A lot. I'm just... confused, but I still want to be with you, okay?" I asked softly as I took her hand and gave her a small smile.
Why did it seem like I was being stupid, yet smart at the same time? I guess I just don't understand my own feelings.

Hope that was okay, Poochy~ ^^
