"So are you talking about me huh."
Edward's story was interrupted when Leysa suddenly spoke who was already behind them, comfortably leaning against the veranda's entrance.
So the two men turned to her direction.
"Nah! Just sharing to my best friend the greatest love story we have, mi amore!" Edward said kindly to Leysa, who just smiled back at him and walks towards the two men.
"Maybe you talked about how I dumped you, hmm. Just kidding, Eddy! You know I love you ..." Leysa said hanging while looking at Fred who was also looking seriously at her, that's why she gave him a sweet smile and she looked back at Edward.
"As a friend? Hmm, you're hurting my feelings again, mi amore!" Ed added and pretended to be hurtfully sad by Leysa's words. That made Leysa giggles at her friend's childish mind sometimes.
Later, Diana also arrived on the veranda carrying some bottles of beer for her husband and his friend.
The four talked for the whole time, and they even talked about the planned out of town vacation this weekend.
The night was also getting dark when Edward decided to go home.
"Just sleep here, Eddy. I guess Fred and Diana won't mind it," Leysa said when Edward was about to leave the house.
Ed looked at his friend Fred, who had a really bad mood he guessed, so he just smiled and he himself refused Leysa's invitation to him to just stay for the night.
"It's alright, Mi amore ... I have an early meeting tomorrow that's why I need to go home tonight, just see you this weekend." He just said and smiled at Leysa, and bid a goodbye to Diana and when he turned to say goodbye to his friend, he first whispered something to him that made Fred a little bit uneasy,
"I don't know anything ... but I'm on your side, bro."
