Bedtime Love Story Part One
By the Mediterranean Sea, there was a beautiful city named Mitke. In this subtropical town filled with olive trees, two young people grew up together. The girl was named Fel, and the boy was named Sean.
They had been neighbors since childhood, and after graduating from university, they joined the same company. Their relationship was so close that everyone assumed they were a couple, but only they knew the truth—they were just good friends.
One day, Fel suddenly said to Sean, “I’ve decided. I’m going to bravely confess my love to my dream man, Peter!” Sean was taken aback, then burst out laughing, nearly spilling the cup of water he was holding.
Peter was the deputy general manager of the company’s sales department and was indeed very impressive. However, his eyes were only for Christina from the public relations department. In terms of looks and intelligence, how could Fel compete with her?
Fel seemed fearless, confidently telling Sean, “If we’re really good friends, you have to help me.” Sean nodded reluctantly.
Sean was Peter’s driver. To help implement Fel’s romance plan, he would always find an excuse to bring Fel along whenever Peter finished work. Along the way, Fel, heavily made up, would constantly flirt with Peter, completely ignoring Sean as an outsider.
A few days later, Fel patted Sean on the shoulder and said, “You’re amazing. If things work out between Peter and me, I’ll help you with Anna.” Anna was a girl Sean had a crush on, who later went to France. Sean smiled and didn’t take it seriously.
Once, by chance, Sean discovered that the prince Fel was pursuing was still courting Christina, inviting her to a movie only to be ruthlessly rejected. Two hours later, the movie tickets ended up in Fel’s hands.
She was as happy as a lark, hopping around. She hugged Sean’s neck and said, “Peter asked me out to a movie. Isn’t this a sign he’s accepting me?” Sean said sarcastically, “Maybe those are the tickets Christina didn’t want.” Fel instantly looked dejected. “It can’t be that bad, can it? No, I have to get a hold of Peter quickly.” That night, Fel wore a sexy backless dress, dressed like a fairy, and went out.
The moon climbed up the branches, and the empty room was left with only Sean. The TV was blaring with ads, and Fel hadn’t returned yet—they were sharing the same apartment. Looking at the CDs on the shelf, Sean couldn’t help but sigh. Although he and Fel had never been far apart, even having the same taste in books and music, they just lacked that catalyst to become lovers.
It was very late, and Fel still hadn’t returned. Could this silly girl really be sacrificing herself for Peter? Sean hurriedly stood up. Fel’s mother had entrusted him to take good care of her daughter; it was a significant responsibility he couldn’t ignore. Sean rushed to the cinema, but the movie had long ended.
Sean returned, feeling a mix of starlight and disappointment. Looking up, he saw that Fel had already come home, sleeping soundly with a blissful smile on her face. Suddenly, a surge of emotions overwhelmed Sean—resentment, jealousy, sorrow, self-reproach… all at once.
What was happening? Could he actually like Fel, who didn’t even avoid picking her nose in front of him? She wasn’t good-looking, nor was she slim… Anyway, she wasn’t his type.
The next day, Peter didn’t call on Sean for an outing; he drove himself, taking the flamboyant Fel with him. Now everyone knew: Peter and Fel were dating. So Fel’s supposed boyfriend, Sean, became the target of attacks: “Wasn’t Fel with you? How did she end up with him?”
Sean’s mind was in chaos. On the other side, Christina was scolding a subordinate: “How could you get the magazine’s contact details wrong? Are you brainless?” He had never seen the usually composed Christina lose her temper like this.
No wonder, with Peter having a new flame, how could she be in a good mood? People are like that; they don’t cherish what they have until it’s gone. This excellent bachelorette must be having hormonal issues now.
That day, Fel went on a date with Peter, and Sean smoked alone at home. Fel came back drunk, clinging to Sean and talking nonsense: “Sean, I’m going to marry Peter. Will you bless me? I used to think I would marry you, but you like Anna…” Anna? Now Sean couldn’t even remember what she looked like. He took care of the drunk Fel, who obediently fell asleep, holding Sean’s hand like a baby.
Sean sat by her bed for a long time, wanting to kiss her but not daring to. Sean felt a deep sadness. He recalled an unintentional scene he saw at work—Christina leaning against the wall, Peter’s tall body covering her, their lips passionately glued together… Sean clenched his fists, wanting to rush in and beat up the playboy Peter.
A few days later, Fel organized a birthday party for Sean. At the party, Fel drank too much again and tearfully hugged Sean’s neck, saying, “Do you know, I used to like you, but you didn’t like me. You liked Anna, so I had to like Peter…” “Peter won’t like you. Leave him,” Sean said deeply.
“Leave him… then who would be my other half?” Fel said seriously. Sean also said seriously, “Do you remember when we held a wedding as kids? If there’s really no one, I’ll help out.” Fel smiled and nodded.
After confirming their relationship, Fel only secretly met Peter once. “Thank you, Peter, for helping me complete my love plan.” “I should be thanking you. Otherwise, Christina wouldn’t have realized my importance anytime soon,” Peter said.
Stagnant water needs waves. They each acted as the stones that stirred each other’s stagnant water, making the river of love lively. Fel and Peter toasted with soda, celebrating their successful love conspiracy.
