The following is what I have posted up on winglin:
Ch 15
Where do I begin? It’s been way too long since I’ve updated this fanfic. Should I tell you that we are nearing the end? Should I tell you that this fanfic will be over soon? Or...should I just apologize for not updating for so long. I feel as though this fanfic has turned into one of those real draggy shows...the ones that you hope would end, yet if it ended you’d feel as though you haven’t had enough because it moved way too slow. So, I’m gonna speed things up at this point and try to end this fanfic very soon.

From waking up early to greet her with warm drinks before class, to waiting for her after class, he was doing it all. Her presence seemed to have lightened up his days for they were usually not that great...and the more he spent time with her, the more he wanted her to be his. Yet, time and time again she rejected him...
~Library~
Leila walked into the library and noticed her good friend Linda sitting there, having her head buried in a text book. She walked over and tapped her on the shoulder
Linda looked up: hey
Leila: Hey
Linda: You’re alone today?
Leila nodded
Linda: Where’s your new best friend?
Leila: Is someone jealous?
Linda laughed: Oh please...he’s not my type
Leila: seems to me like you’re getting closer to Ron
Linda: I see him a few times a week...but...nothing’s gonna happen between the two of us...he’s obviously still in love with you
Leila: I didn’t think that we were in that deep...I guess I was wrong
Linda: Well...now you learned your lesson...right?
Leila: Um...ya...so...what do you think of Bosco? You do realize that he’s been after me for a while now...
Linda: Don’t you tell me you want to...
Leila: Well...I don’t know...I like him as a friend...and he is pretty cute...and he can bake...you know I love cakes
Linda: What if the same thing happens between the two of you like between you and Ron?
Leila: You don’t know for sure...so...maybe I should give it a try? What do you think?
Linda: It seems to me like you’ve already made up your mind...
~ two days later~
Leila was once again walking towards her class as she noticed that someone was once again standing around waiting for her. He had been persistent...maybe a bit too persistent, but it seemed as though it was working. She was now a bit more interested in her pursuer than she originally thought she would be. He was almost everything she wanted...and most importantly like in the wild there was something about him that attracted her. Whether it was his smile or that great smell of his coming from what seemed to be the smell of laundry detergent and whatever else.
Bosco walked towards her slowly as the snow continued to fall upon them. The scene was a bit mesmerizing; beautiful white snow blanketing the university grounds, and as he got closer to her he knew that it was now or never, as he thought so every time he attempted to ask her out.
Leila: let me guess, you have a cup of hot chocolate with my name on it?
Bosco shook his head
Leila: Did you bake me a muffin?
Once again her guess was wrong
Leila: Flowers?
Bosco: nope
Leila: Then what is it?
Bosco: Nothing...
Leila: nothing?
Bosco: I’ve expended all of my resources trying to ask you out, yet time and time again you reject my sincere ‘proposal’ if you will, so this time, I come to you empty handed, with nothing to offer except for me, and this heart of mine that seems to tell me that you’re the one...
Leila: You know...I can’t really go out with a guy who’s broke since I’m quite a demanding a girlfriend
Bosco: Well...if it makes a difference, I have a part time job...so...I think I can work things out
Leila smiled: Hmm...if that’s the case...I don’t think I can continue to reject you...
Bosco smiled: So, that’s a yes then?
Leila nodded and the next thing she knew she was in the air. He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up. From that moment onward they were a pair and he continued to do as he did before while he tried to woo her, the only difference was that now he was never shot down.
Days to come seemed to have become a bit warmer, as the snow continued to fall. This time he was waiting for her to come out of class and into his arms so that he could take her to lunch. As she walked out of class and saw him, a smile had crept onto her face.
Leila: What are we going to do today?
Bosco: first lunch, but before that...
He had planted a kiss upon her lips under the falling snow.
Leila: it seems as though your lips are softer than mine
Bosco laughed: Of all things to notice? Well...I do like my chapstick
Leila: That’s not fair...I’m the girl
Bosco smiled: Then I’ll stop using it
Leila: No...I don’t want to kiss you if your lips are all dry and chapped
Bosco chuckled: Seems to me like I’ve gotten myself a very demanding girlfriend
~ Library~
Ron was sitting around watching Linda study at her usual spot in the library. For some reason watching her study was amusing to him, and once in a while he’d learn about something ‘sciencey’ from her.
Linda: Hey Ron...
Ron: Ya?
Linda: Spoken to Leila lately?
Ron shook his head
Linda: Are you avoiding her?
Ron didn’t seem to answer
Linda: I’ll take your silence as a yes...so...when are you going to tell her how you feel? Are you going to just sit around and watch me study, while she’s out with another guy?
Ron looked up at Linda
Linda: She’s going out with that Bosco guy...you know...tall, sort of scrawny looking...
Ron: Oh
Linda: Oh? That’s all you’re going to say?
Ron: What else do you want me to say? That I hate this guy for dating my ex-girlfriend who I’m obviously still in love with? (He started to get louder) That I’m in pain cause she broke my heart when she unexpectedly broke up with me? If you’re really my friend then...you should just stop...
Linda: I’m asking cause I care about you...cause we’re friends...if we weren’t I’d completely ignore your existence. Why in the world would I want to have to deal with some unimportant person’s business when I could be doing other things? Why?
Ron: I’m...sorry...I didn’t mean to raise my voice or anything...I just...
Linda: I know you’re unhappy...and you’re hurt...but Ron...she moved on...and so should you. I know that you’re a pretty sentimental person...and girls love guys who are sentimental...but...the two of you only went out for like 3 months
Ron: It was actually 93 days
Linda: But the point is...the ‘love’ the two of you had was short-lived and so...shouldn’t you hold on to the memories that were beautiful instead of the bitter taste it left you?
Ron: Whoa...you just got all poetic there...what’s going on Linda? Is spending time with me having an effect on you?
Linda: Funny...but stop changing the topic...I think you should go talk to her...
Ron: And say what? How about...Leila...I’m still madly in love with you and I really want you back...but...it seems that that’s not going to happen anytime soon, so how about we be friends again?
Linda: Why not?
Ron: And...you think I’ll be saying those things to her, or her shoes?
So...those of you who were rooting for RL from the beginning are probably hating me for putting Bosco and Leila together...but let me assure you there is still hope for RL...in my fanfic. So, please be patient and wait for the many RL scenes to come...
anyways...do leave me a comment either in the cbox on the side or well in the comment section.
I'll update very soon...(within 24 hours)
RANDOMNESS...OUT!!!
