When we got back to my apartment, I walked in and kicked off my converse. I started to walk through my apartment, having Richard trail after me. I looked over my shoulder and stopped, noticing that he was busy looking around.
"Wow. This is your apartment? It's really nice." He complimented.
I simply nodded then continued to walk towards my bedroom, Richard still trailing behind me.
"Anyways, why don't we order some pizza first then pop in the movie?" He suggested.
"Whatever you want." I simply said.
Richard nodded then he pulled out his phone and left the room to call the pizza place to place our order. I took the small bag from him and opened up the movie case to pop the movie into my DVD player that's in my bedroom. Once I got the DVD up and running, me and Richard waited for the pizza to arrive while we sat in my bedroom and talked for a little bit.
Once the pizza arrived, we chilled out in my bedroom and ate pizza while watching the movie. I glanced over at Richard a few times, noticing that he was well into the movie. I was a bit surprised because Richard doesn't peg himself as the type of guy to watch Chick Flicks in his free time. To be honest, i'm kinda glad that I get to share this moment with him. At first, I expected myself to watch Petals in the Wind by myself tonight, but i'm glad that I don't have to be alone right now.
Once the movie ended, I just sat there while Richard laid on his stomach next to me.
"That was a good movie." He said then looked up at me.
I simply nodded. "Indeed."
Richard chuckled then he started to move on the bed.
"Hey, what's this?" He asked, holding something in his hand.
I looked over at him to see him holding my plushie that Rico won for me. I immediately jumped into action.
"Hey! Give that back!" I said, trying to grab it from him, but Richard stood up and kept the plushie away from me.
I stood up also and tried to get my animal back from him.
"Give it back!" I shouted again.
"Why?" He asked with a grin.
I glared at him then continued to try and take the plushie from him when I suddenly tripped over his feet and I fell forward. I ended up knocking Richard down onto the floor, landing on top of him. I looked down at Richard and saw him smiling then he turned me over onto my back and got ontop of me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
Richard continued to smile at me.
"I want to sleep with you." He confessed.
I blinked my eyes, confused. "What?"
Richard smiled softly then he got up and handed my plushie back to me. I stood back up and held it against me then I sat down at the edge of my bed. I looked up and noticed that Richard was watching me.
"Is that plushie special to you? Or are you just stubborn about people touching your stuff?" He asked.
I sighed. "This...was given to me by Rico." I admitted.
Richard nodded. "I see...Speaking of Ricardo..." He started.
I blinked my eyes again, curious about what Richard is about to say about Rico.
"What? What about Rico?" I asked.
I couldn't help, but become curious about what he wanted to tell me that had to deal with Rico. I hope it isn't anything bad.
"Ricardo..." Richard started then sighed.
"Ricardo told me yesterday that he doesn't love you anymore." He admitted.
Suddenly, I felt my heart stop. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Is it true? Does Rico really not love me anymore?
"He...He said that?" I softly asked, still not believing what Richard has told me.
Richard nodded then he walked over to me and sat on the bed next to me.
"Yeah. He did. We were just talking and he told me he didn't have feelings for you anymore and he said that you need to move on." Richard explained.
Each word was like a dagger piercing my heart. I really didn't want to hear those kinds of words from Richard, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. He's getting married to someone else after all. Then again, deep down, I was really hoping that Rico still loved me. Even if it was just a little bit.
"I'm sorry, Landon. I know you probably would rather hear it from him..." Richard said softly then he wrapped his arm around me and softly kissed my cheek.
I didn't pull away from him or anything. I just sat there, feeling the sadness coming back to me. I softly sighed then shook my head.
Even if what Richard is saying is true, I would rather hear all this from Rico. I want Rico to look me in the eyes and tell me straight up that he doesn't love me anymore. It hurts more to hear all this from someone who isn't him.
