My Desire

Jessica's PoV

I was searching for the restroom and finally found it on the other side of the club somewhere in the corner of the building. As I entered, there were many girls either putting more makeup on or fixing their short skirts. I was looking for Anna, but she was nowhere to find. I got closer to the toilet door checking if one of the was locked. As I heard someone sobbing in there, I got down and carefully looked inconspicuously through the gap, finding Anna, her face in her hands, sitting against the wall.

I got up and knocked on the door. "Anna open up... I know that you are in there..."

She opened wiping away her tears.

"What's wrong with you, Anna?"

"Nothing..." she sobbed, not looking at me.

"Anna please, tell me... I'm your friend..." trying to convince her.

She let me in and locked the door again. "It's... it's just Leonard..." she sounded affected.

Oh god, he did something to her...

"What did he do! Did he hurt you? Alternatively, even touch you tell me!" I knew it. That's why they were both acting so strange the whole time.

"No... it's not that..." she shook her head.

"Oh, thank god... but what is it than Anna? Just say it... please..." Relieved and at the same time worried, I didn't understand what was going on with her.

She was struggling to find the right words.

"He... he doesn't give me...." She let out a sigh ready to say it straight out, "He doesn't give me any attention..."

What? Now I'm confused?

Wait... Oh...

She liked him.

Oh, Anna...

"That's it?" I hold her in my arms now and comforted her.

"Did you ever talk to each other?" I asked.

She shook her head, "How? He is always avoiding me; you just saw it a while ago. Even at work, he didn't look me in the eye, while he was apologizing for what he did this morning." She couldn't understand it.

Everything became clear to me.

Maybe he feels the same way too...

I didn't say anything more but comforted her. It was not my decision to make for them.

"How about you Jessica, you didn't tell me yet what was going on between you and Mr. O'Neil..." She couldn't stop asking about that matter, being so nosy.

"Okay Anna, for you to feel better, we are together but not yet ready letting everybody know about it..."

"Finally..." She whispered, "What took you so long..." she smiled, drying her eyes.

She was driving me crazy sometimes.

"Now come, you finally got what you wanted to hear. Let's enjoy the party..." I was trying to cheer Anna up.

"Yeah, you are right. I waited so long for this event. I'm not gonna let Leonard mess it up."

There was 'the Anna,' I know.

Knock....knock....knock...

"Are you finish in there?!" an angry female voice asking us.

We were holding our laughter and opened the door, quickly getting out the restroom. We stopped at the bar, getting our drinks before we headed back to our table.
