Gil sat on his car with his head leaned back and his eyes closed. He didn't know what to do with Catherine anymore. Does she still love him or not? This is a big puzzle for him. He glanced to his side; his car is parked next to Catherine's.

Her heels clicked on the pavement as she made her way towards her car, she saw Gil's car still parked there, and she figured he's probably still working. Frankly, she wanted to go back inside and tell him her feelings and of course to tell him to go home and get some rest. Since they've become friends, it has become second nature to her to make sure that he takes his rest and take care of himself. He tends to forget about himself when working, and this is probably why she came into his life, to serve as a reminder that there are other things other than his work.

"Catherine!!"

Gil heard a man calling, he glanced back, and saw him, it's Chad.

Catherine is already by the door of her car when she heard Chad calling her. "Hey! What are you doing here?"

"I've been trying to contact you."

Catherine sighed. "I thought I told you, I don't want to do this anymore."

"Catherine I think I'm falling for you."

"What?! Chad, I made it clear from the first day, that-"

"Yea. Yea, I know. You're on a time-out with your boyfriend. But isn't it that he's dating someone else too?"

The idea still stings, nevertheless she nodded to confirm it.

"Are you two back together?" he asked

"No. and, I don't think we'll ever be."

"Then why don't we give US a shot."

"Look Chad. You're a great man, but. I'm still in love with him. If you want, we can be friends, but that's all that I have to offer."

"Friends?"

"I'm not going to go on a date with anyone until I've moved on."

"When you feel that you've grown out of loving him, will you go out with me?"

"I know I can move on but … " Catherine shyly tilt her head to the side, she hates it when she's being corny, but she's gonna have to say the truth. "I don't think I'll ever stop loving him."

Gil sat in his car silent, with a goofy grin on his face thinking, 'thank god I replace the tinting on my car window.'
