I feel like I have a recurring theme of my comments: shut up Leo.
He’s either gonna tell Alexa that he doesn’t feel the same way, which, of course, she already knows - or he’s going to say he doesn’t know how he feels, but he wants to try to see her another way, so they should casually date so he could figure it all out.
What I really want Alexa to say, either way: “Leo, I said I HAD feelings for you. I like Andres now, because he actually shows an interest in me and knows what he wants, he has shown me what it feels to really be wanted by a guy - and I want to explore that. Meanwhile, I think we can still be friends, but not as close as before - I want to make sure that Andres is comfortable.”
If he didn't have feelings for Alexa then he wouldn't be in such a spin or he wouldn't of been jealous.
They need time to get to know each other as possible love Interests and to forget that they are friends for a little while. Even though I think falling in live with your best friend is the most romantic thing to happen.
And thanks for solving the mystery of the girlfriend lol I had a feeling she was no longer around but I'm glad to know she isn't now so that's one less hurdle.
I think Leo needs to stop thinking of her as Alexa my best friend and start think of her as Alexa beautiful woman that I am quite clearly I'm love with and probably always have been, or just as a beautiful woman he can start or at least try to build something with.
I cant wait til they are face to face again, I hope its soon Alexa must be going out of her mind.
So the girlfriend was barely in the picture all along jezz Leo you could have said something. he diffo was jealous of Andres. but is it a case of him not wanting someone to have each hee yet not wanting her too
Shut up Leo. Alexa, go to Andres! He’s what you need right now!! You told Leo, you used past tense, you go it out there, you can get closure - at least until Leo figures out what the fuck he wants - which even then you shouldn’t be second choice!
Ugh. It shouldn’t take Alexa telling him that she had feelings for him to make him want to be with her now. He didn’t like her before.
Good on her for telling him. at least now that's out in the open. I do get where he is coming from. she did just drop him when he got the new girlfriend which hurt him but then I get why she couldn't be around him.
Lionel you giant idiot go back and apologize for leaving her like that, great big doofus he is.
I'm happy she told him, regardless of how moronic he was she needed to do that for herself and now I bet its like a weights been lifted off her.
I hope he has a little more to say the next time they speak he sounded like a drunk parrot "what" "what"..... Idiot.
Its so good the way you've written it, usually I can tell that they are gonna get together but as of now I have no clue. I know its more than likely as its a Lionel/oc story but its written so that it keeps you guessing.
And still no word on this ever elusive girlfriend lol. Maybe he made her up to make Alexa jealous. Or she dumped him cos she knew he was in love with Alexa.
urgh the ending. oh what will he say the wait will be dreadful. I'm glad she told him. it's better for her to have the truth out there so she can move on with him or without him
Its so obvious that Leo has feelings for Alexa he was almost green with envy at just the thought of her going on a date let alone that she was actually seeing him. Poppy is right though she needs to tell Leo how she feels not so that he will immediately fall at her feet cos its gonna take time to move from friends to lovers but just so she can unburden herself from this thing that has been hanging over her for years.
We might also find out where this ever elusive girlfriend is lol if she is even still in the picture. The missing girlfriend is probably my fave part, she played such a huge part in Alexa and Leo not getting together and yet we know nothing about her or where she is lol.
It's going to be so interesting if she talks to Leo about her feelings. of course it's going to be awkward for both of them but maybe Leo needs to know how she feels so it might get him thinking if he has any romantic feelings towards her. He did seem jealous about Andres who was so sweet.
No! I mean, yeah, he was being smart and preserving himself, but no! He could have been so so so good for her! Better than Leo, and could have been exactly who she needed to be okay again. I know where the story is ending, I know it’s Leo, and I know Andres would most likely get hurt again if they started something right now, but dammit, I like him. He’s perfect for her. Stupid Leo.
