Rob got dressed slowly that morning, still not knowing what to do with the dilemma. Bina had been quiet since waking up. He wanted to say so much to her but he didn’t know what to say. They walked out of the camper and into Johnny and Thressa’s house. The two of them were walking towards them, Thressa looking oddly happy.
“Have fun last night?” Thressa teased. Under normal circumstances Bina would of laughed it off but today her face burned bright red and a sheepish smile. Rob looked over at her with only half a grin.
“I just wanted to say thanks for having me over last night.”
“No problem.” Johnny nodded. Thressa stood up, crossed the room and wrapped her arms around Robert. He leaned over and gave her a peck on the cheek. Johnny extended his hand and gave it a shake. Rob turned around to Bina, who still hadn’t said anything to him or anyone for that matter.
“Well, I guess I should get going…” He walked towards the door, she followed him out. They stood by the car. “So…”
“You sure you don’t want me to give you a ride home?”
“Yeah, positive. Johnny and Thressa offered a ride. Thanks though..”
“Ahh, ok.” he leaned against the car. “About last night…”
“Look Rob…” she paused not knowing what to say.
“Just think about it. Please?”
“I won’t change my mind.” And by the look in her eyes, he knew she wouldn’t.
“What if I come here more often?”
“I… uh… I don’t…” she shook her head.
“I have to go. Don’t forget about me.” He bent down and kissed her deeply.
Watching Rob leave was rough and there was a part of her that wanted him to come back but an even bigger part of her knew she wasn’t meant to be in the spot light. Dating Rob would defiantly put her there. Bina sighed, turning around to head back to Thressa’s house only to find Thressa standing on the porch. Her crimson hair pulled into a pony tail and her hands on her hips. Bina glanced up at her face.
“Oh shit” Bina muttered. Thressa’s grey eyes were cool which told Bina, she was about to hear it all.
“Have a seat.” Thressa said, motioning to the steps. The women sat down together. “Bina, you know I love you…”
“Yes and I’ll still love you after this conversation is over…” Thressa flashed a smile, her eyes warmed a little.
“Good. What the hell are you doing?”
“Nothing.” shaking her head.
“Who just left my house?”
“Rob…”
“Rob who?”
“Pattinson.” she whispered.
“Robert fucking Pattinson. So why are you doing this?”
“I’m not doi…” A quick flame of anger rose into Thressa’s eyes, she took a deep breath and held eye contact with Bina. “Because I don’t want to get hurt!” she admitted.
“How do you feel RIGHT now?”
“It’s different. I’m the one causing me pain.”
“You’re scared, I get that. I know how you feel. Johnny just told me he loved me. How do you think I feel?”
“Awwww” Bina gushed.
“You’re an idiot” Thressa laughed. “You’re such a romantic and yet you run at love.”
Thressa stood up, shook her head and walked into the house. She knew she had said enough to get Bina thinking and now she needed to be left alone to do so.
*****
Bina was sitting at her favorite spot, at the lake down the road from her house. She had her phone in hand opened to the text message application. She had it opened to send a message to Rob, she had typed a message a few times but each time before she would send it, she deleted it. All ten or so times.
She knew she was being crazy but it’s just how she was. If he held on past this point she knew there would be no turning back. It scared the hell out of her.
She heard a car driving slowly towards her. She glanced over her shoulder and knew the car right away, looking back at the lake. She heard his foot steps coming closer then he sat next to her.
“Hi.”
Bina glanced up, flashed half a smile and sighed.
“Hello.”
“Thressa wanted to make you’re not mad at her.”
“Of course I’m not… Ok, maybe a little but that’s only because she’s right.” Bina chuckled lightly. Johnny put an arm over her shoulder, pulling her close, she rested her head on his shoulder.
“Have you talked to him since he left?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because if I do that, he’ll know I’ve given in.”
“It’s not a game Bina. It’s love.”
“Ugh.” she groaned. “Johnny, I’ve loved you since I was a little girl, don’t make me not like you.” she laughed.
“Why is it so easy for you to love me and not Rob?”
“You’re with my best friend… You’re still a fantasy.”
“Oh yeah?” A big smile spread on his handsome face, Bina rolled her eyes and smiled. Her phone went off in her hand, it was Thressa.
“I’m saying this because I love you both. Kiss him!!”
Bina texted back; “Who? Johnny?”
“YES!” she responded and Bina laughed.
She looked up at Johnny, he smiled down at her. His chocolate brown eyes were boring into her light green eyes. Of course it was easier to love Johnny, she had loved him since she was a mere six years old. With Rob, it was more real now. The love she held inside for him was different than the love she had for Johnny.
“I heard you and Rob talking last night. I heard you tell him he’s in love with me…”
“And this is how you respond? What if I said I love you right now?”
“I’d call you on your shit, you love Thressa.”
“Ahhh, I do. Very much so. Thressa is my soul mate, I have no doubt in that. We complete each other. But you… I look at you and I see so much more than you’re willing to show anyone. So, yes I do love Thressa, with all that I can but there’s still some room to love someone else, in a different way of course.” Johnny put a finger under her chin and tilted her head back. He leaned down and ever so lightly put his lips on hers. Then with another move of his mouth, his lips covered hers while he kissed her passionately. He pulled back from her. “There’s more than lust here, but it’s not exactly what I have with T.”
Johnny stood up, brushed the sand off his jeans and looked down at her.
“So, are you going to call Rob?”
“No.” she shook her head. Johnny shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the car, leaving Bina alone once again. She loved Rob, yes but sometimes you just have to let things go that you love. Even if it hurt like hell.
But on the plus side, she just kissed Johnny Depp.
