"Steve, even if I date Matt, you will always be my special best friend. You should never feel insecure about our friendship" Lisa assured him.

"Thanks for saying that. This is what I wanted to hear" Steve hugged Lisa and she too hugged him back.

​​

"I am glad we cleared things"

"Me too"

"Let's go back home, I need to drop you off so that you can confess to Mr Matthew and start dating him" Steve declared and within an hour, he dropped her at her apartment.

Lisa was nervous but she decided to meet with Matt. She decided to confess right away and not waste any time.

Stepping towards his apartment instead of going to her place, she rang his door bell but he didn't open it.

Knowing the password, she inputted it and entered his apartment but finding it empty, she realized he is not yet home.

'Where is he at this hour?' She checked the time and got worried.

She decided to wait there for a while as she finally gathered the courage to confess her budding feelings.

'If I am not able to confess today, don't know when I'll be able to gather this courage' Lisa kept saying this to herself to stay motivated.

After a while the door suddenly opened from the outside and Lisa got alerted as she understood Matt is here.

Matt was surprised to see her there.

Lisa became very nervous when she finally saw the man she had been waiting for.

When she saw Matt, all her worries and doubts went away and she was surer, she wants this man.

But his presence made her nervous so to hide it, she brightly smiled at him, "Hi Matt" she greeted the surprised man.

"Hey" Matt casually greeted her.

Lisa could understand her sudden presence was weird, so she lied, "I am so sorry for being here. Patrick requested me to be here for a while as he and Ems…" she lied, pushing all the blame on Emily and Patrick, who were clueless of it

"Hmm, got it" Matt then headed towards his room.

Seeing him walking away and not spending time with her like he usually does confused her and so she stopped him.

"Hey Matt, I want to share something with you" She excitedly said trying to hide her anxiousness.

"Not now Lisa, I am very tired, I would like to sleep now" Matt informed her.

Seeing his state, Lisa got worried.

'Fuck, I am so selfish. In my excitement I didn't even think about what state he must be in'

"Did you have your dinner?" Lisa asked him, worriedly.

Matt stopped in his tracks and without turning back, he said, "Yeah, I did" he then went to his room and closed the door.

'Why is he acting like this with me? He was never like this, before. Maybe he is really tired. Seems this is not the right time to confess. Lisa, it is a love confession, why do it in a hurry, you can do it nicely tomorrow. I'll check his schedule for tomorrow, if he is not busy, I can confess to him' Lisa decided to share her feelings, the next day.

…

Next day

Lisa checked Matt's schedule and saw the surgery he had for today has been postponed to tomorrow and his schedule was quite free.

'Today would be perfect' she decided.

After a while, Steve met with Lisa and asked her how her confession went.

"Don't ask Steve, it was bad" Lisa complained.

"What happened? He rejected you?" Steve looked worried.

"No, you bastard" Lisa beat him

"Then what happened? You confessed or not?"

"I couldn't" Lisa pouted.

"Why?"

"Dr Daniel gave me some work, can't slack around by bringing my personal problems here. I am busy, let's talk later." Lisa glared at him.

"Come with me" Steve held her hand and dragged her to the vending machine.

"Why did you bring me here?" Lisa looked confused.

"We can pretend taking a coffee break, now tell me what happened?" Steve bought two drinks from the machine and handed one to Lisa.

"He came home tired and I tried talking to him but he said he wants to sleep" Lisa pouted sadly.

"You should have just jumped on him and kissed him first, then he would have listened to you" Steve joked.

Steve and Lisa laughed loudly hearing his joke. Unknown to them Matt witnessed it and left from there, misunderstanding the two people.

"Okay, tonight I am going to confess again and if it doesn't work, I'll take your suggestion" Lisa promised.

Then they went back to their work and it was post working hours.

Lisa was working seriously, when Steve came running to her.

"Lisa, Matt is heading for home now, I just saw him leave his office." Steve informed her in a hurry as Lisa planned to go home with Matt and then confess her feelings on the way.

Lisa checked the time, "What already?" She shouted.

"Yeah, his schedule was free today, right?"

Lisa nodded her head.

"Maybe that's why. Go and stop him" Steve shouted at her.

"My work…" She got confused as her work was not yet over and is still pending.

"I'll handle it, I'll also handle Dr Daniel, you go" Steve again shouted and Lisa ran from there.

Lisa rushed in full speed and lucky for her Matt was mindlessly walking taking slow steps, so Lisa was able to approach him on time.

Lisa followed him trying to calm herself down as she was panting heavily and when Matt almost reached the exit, she approached him, "Matt, are you free now?" She nervously asked him.

Matt was surprised to see her.

"Why? What happened?" He questioned her.

"If you are going home, let's go together" Lisa suggested smiling at him as she was excited about this plan.

She was sure she won't fail this time but she got surprised instead.

"I am not going home" Matt said and was about to walk away, seeing this Lisa again stopped him desperately.
