stained with the imprint of love... me and you

"It's going to close soon." Erica saw that since Candice and Jesse had quarreled last time, the two people who had been in the middle of a cold war seldom spoke.I even slept in a separate room at night.

"Wait, do you want to go out for a drink?" Erica looked at Candice, then at Jesse.

"OK……"

"Don't go."

The one who agreed was Jesse, and the one who said 'no' was of course Candice.

"Leave her alone." Jesse wasn't surprised by Candice's answer at all. "Leave her alone."

"Let's go together, Candi." Erica felt that Jesse really didn't have a long brain.I've been talking to Candice for two or three years now, and I actually thought that Candice would be the kind of guy who just stays at home and feels sad after quarreling with others...

"I really don't want to go." Candice's attitude towards Erica was quite good. "I want to go to bed early tonight, and I have to buy Sally a birthday present tomorrow."

"Oh, right." Candice suddenly thought about Sally's birthday party tomorrow. "Tomorrow...will you go, Erica?"

Jesse, who was standing aside, was also curious about this question.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Erica said without a clear reply.

"Alright then." Candice looked at his watch. "It's about time to close the door. You go away, I'll close the door."

"It's not like going to a high-end restaurant to make a reservation." Erica smiled. "Close it up with you."

"Isn't it, Jesse?" Erica said to Jesse next to her.

"I don't care." Jesse also replied with an indifferent attitude.

"You, do you really want to sleep early in the room?" Erica asked quietly in Candice's ear.

"It's true." Candice smiled. "I won't send you away on purpose and sneak out to drink by myself."

"You also know that the last two times were not good memories." Candice said softly.

"Okay then." Erica locked the door.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Sally and Tony just sent a message." Jesse said after seeing Erica get into the car. "They're at Matthew's nightclub."

"I don't care... if you..." Jesse actually kind of wanted to go to Sally and Tony, after all, he wasn't dating Erica, and being alone was really boring.

"I don't mind either," Erica said. "Then go find them."

"Matthew is here too." Jesse deliberately added in case Erica thought Matthew didn't go to work today.

"Oh? You really surprised me when you said that." Erica deliberately sarcastically said.

"Why..." Jesse, who tilted his head to the side, felt that he was just kindly reminding Erica.

"Drive while watching the road." Erica said.

"I don't think it's fun to go on like this with Candi." Jesse, who was driving the car, said this suddenly.

"What's boring?" Erica asked even though she could hear the meaning in Jesse's words.

"She's always unhappy. It seems that no matter what I do, it always makes her unhappy." Jesse shook her head helplessly. "I do like her very much, no. I still love her very much. But sometimes it really makes me feel tired."

"Then let yourself love her more. Complain less." Erica looked at the road ahead, as if she was the one driving.

"You should tell her this sentence." Jesse smiled, thinking that if he told Candice this sentence intact, he would definitely start a fight with her again.

"Then what do you want me to tell you?" Erica shifted her gaze to Jesse. "I think you're tired, too. Or, just break up with her. Want to hear me talk about these things?"

"I want to know what you think of Matthew." Jesse suddenly brought the topic to Matthew.

"What do you mean?" Erica didn't understand the purpose of Jesse's question.

"Won't you mind whatever he does?" Jesse looked at Erica, then at Lu. "It's how much you like him that supports you to endure those things."

"Hey...I said you guys..." Erica sighed and said with a smile. "I always feel that other people's women are pleasing to the eye. No matter how much my own woman loves, I will feel annoyed and tired."

"Then turn your own woman into someone else's woman." Erica smiled. "At that time, do you think she is more pleasing to the eye, or more annoying."

"You always like to talk about these useless things." Jesse didn't like Erica's way. "Then come and avoid other people's questions."

"It's useless if you ask the first question, okay?!" Erica felt that Jesse was more difficult to deal with than Candice.

"The longer two people are together, the more they get along with each other, it will only be the shortcomings of each other." Erica continued to talk about things that Jesse thought were useless. "Matthew avoids that very well."

"He's very involved when it comes to being around the good things he likes in people." Erica mentioned Matthew in Jesse's question. "Once he sees the shortcomings, he flashes quite fast."

"He didn't see any shortcomings... He was obviously just looking for freshness from the bodies of different girls." Jesse felt that Erica even talked about Matthew sleeping with women everywhere.

"What devotion? I think he was devotion during sex...the speed of getting out of the way after putting on his pants is quite fast..." Jesse explained Matthew's behavior in his own words.

"It's all said, Candi is lucky. I met you." Erica didn't argue with Jesse about Matthew.

"I don't think she thinks that way." Jesse felt that if he had heard Candice tell himself just now, he would have said the boring 'I was wrong' a few times, and then hugged Candice into his arms.

"Can you tell she doesn't think so?" Erica said incredulously, as if to say 'you can see a P'. "The most you can do is not hear her say that."

"She's seriously thinking about it." Erica looked at Jesse. "It's just that I was the one she told."

"She said that?!" Jesse almost lost his grip on the steering wheel when he heard Erica say that.

"Hey... watch the road... don't get excited." Erica thought it was cute that Jesse was nervous about Candice.

"That guy, I still care about you. Don't tell me you don't feel it at all." Erica thought for a while. "You scolded her enough that day, didn't you. It seems to me that this is the first time she was so angry that you walked out of the door." Erica told Jesse that Candice's thoughts that day were completely upside down.

"After you said that..." Jesse suddenly realized that he had always been the one who rushed out the door.It seemed to be the only time that day that Candice turned around first and left.

"It is said that the person who is willing to stay and quarrel with you is the one who loves you the most." Erica said more and more. "You can figure it out yourself."

Although Jesse didn't respond to Erica's words, he began to miss Candice in his heart.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After arriving at the destination, Jesse kept thinking about Candice because of what Erica said in the car.

As soon as she entered the door of the nightclub, Erica also saw DJ, Matthew, who was making music on piles of machines next to the stage.

"They're there." Jesse didn't care if the DJ on stage was Matthew, and looked around for Sally and Tony as soon as he entered the door.

Erica looked in the direction Jesse was walking.Followed behind Jesse and walked up to Sally and Tony.

"Hi, Erica." Sally greeted Erica first. "Want something to drink? We just bought some beer."

"Hi, Erica." Tony greeted Erica before Erica finished answering Sally's question. "Still remember me?"

"Remember you were damned." Jesse replied. "Why don't you say hello to me?"

"Hi! Jesse!"

"Hi! Jesse!"

Sally and Tony purposely spoke loudly in Jesse's ear.

"Damn!" Jesse cursed, frowning. "What nerves?"

"I'm going to buy something else to drink." Erica turned to Jesse and asked. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Just beer," Jesse said.

"I'll go with you," Tony said to Erica who had turned and walked to the bar.

"Okay." Erica replied indifferently.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. You've become more beautiful. Your hair has grown too." Tony said compliments.

"I just cut it a few days ago." Erica said deliberately.

"Oh...that's why the new hairstyle suits you very well..." Tony would say playfully.

But Erica still smiled cooperatingly.

"You don't seem to have a boyfriend yet?" Tony asked directly.

"Hi... Excuse me." Erica first explained to the bartender what she wanted to order.

Then he turned his face to Tony and replied, "It seems not."

Then, Erica paid the money.Waiting for the bartender to bring me and Jesse the beer and my own rum and coke.

"What do you think of me?" Tony and Jesse are about the same height, both about 178 and less than 180.So standing next to Erica who is almost only 163 is still a good fit.

"What do you think?" Erica looked at Tony. "Is it a boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Tony smiled.

Erica looked at Tony, who was wearing a dark green T-shirt with a picture of beer in a glass.The body is slightly fatter than Jesse, and as a Caucasian, he is actually not fat.It's Jesse who is too skinny, but Erica has always liked Jesse's uncoordinated and thin body.

"I think it's better to remove the word 'male'." Erica saw that the bartender told her that her order was ready.

"That's fine too. Let's start with friends." Tony looked at Erica who had packed the beer and rum for Coke, and walked behind her. "Slowly add the word 'male'."

"You will also go to Sally's birthday party tomorrow." Tony saw that Erica didn't respond, and continued to ask questions.

"We'll talk about tomorrow." Erica, who had almost reached the table where Sally and Jesse were sitting, replied.

"Then hope to see you tomorrow." Tony saw Erica's cold attitude, and after speaking, he walked towards the direction of the crowd dancing.

"Tony isn't your type?" Sally asked after seeing Erica return.

"Most people aren't the guy's type." Jesse replied first.

"But doesn't she like Matthew?" Sally didn't say this on purpose, so Sally herself felt a little embarrassed when she said it.

"Nothing." It was the first time Jesse had heard Erica deny that she liked Matthew. "Just thought he was an interesting guy. Don't think too much about it, Sally."

"Oh...you're overthinking too." Sally could hear the meaning in Erica's words. "I'm not Matthew's girlfriend."

"Didn't you say you were dating that guy?" Jesse asked puzzled.

"When did I say that?" Sally's unexpected look didn't look like she was pretending.

"You spoke to Candi," Jesse replied.

"Me and Candi?" Sally thought for a moment. "I guess I was just saying, slept with Matthew or something like that..."

"But that guy Matthew seems to be acquiescing." Jesse glanced at Erica after finishing speaking, she didn't seem interested in this topic, or she just pretended not to be interested and looked around while drinking rum and coke.

"Have you?" Sally was obviously pleased by Jesse's words. "But he didn't say anything to me."

"Maybe he also takes you as acquiescence." Jesse replied.

"Then I'll agree by default." Sally smiled, revealing her beautiful dimples.However, unlike Erica's large and deep dimples on her cheeks, Sally's dimples are two shallow ones at the corners of her mouth.so cute.

"You acquiesce...you came so fast..." Jesse knew that Sally didn't care about these things.

"Would she mind?" Sally mouthed Jesse.He secretly glanced at Erica who turned her face sideways.

"I don't know." Jesse shrugged.

"Hey, Erica." Sally called Erica's name suddenly, and Jesse was startled, thinking that Sally was going to tell Erica about her relationship with Matthew.

Just when Jesse wanted to stop, Sally continued. "Would you like to dance together?"

"No." Erica simply refused.

"Go dance yourself," Jesse said to Sally.

"That's good." Sally twisted her sexy body and walked towards the dance floor.

"If it's about Sally, Matthew... I'll go back." Erica said to Jesse who was about to open his mouth to speak to himself.

"I'm asking if you want to dance with me." Jesse said without pausing.

"It's the first day you met me...I'm not Candi." Erica shook her head and smiled, then replied Jesse helplessly. "Where can I dance..."

"Just go and dance." Jesse took Erica's hand and said with a smile. "bring it on."

"No." Erica shook her head away from Jesse. "You go to Sally."

"Okay then." Jesse walked to the dance floor no longer reluctantly.

Erica, left alone, just drank rum and coke in silence.She drank a little fast, and soon went to the bar to buy two more glasses for herself.Erica, who always wore a T-shirt and jeans to the bar, was rarely accosted by men, so after buying drinks again, she just drank quietly, which was incompatible with the noisy bar.

And Erica, who was in a quiet and silent state, was thinking about something in her mind.

'Sally doesn't mind the relationship with Matthew at all... so it seems that they should get along very well.They're pretty much the same people.If I knew it earlier, I should have stayed a little longer when I was hugged by that guy in the store that day.I love the warmth of being held in his arms by his flame tattooed wrists.Or, I really like him...'

It turned out that it was Matthew who was thinking quietly in Erica's mind.

Perhaps this is the unique feeling of Asians, deep, tactful, but tight-lipped.You need to calm down and experience it slowly to feel it.
