Rick

You've been romantically involved with the same guy Rick for a long time, starting in high school and ending up in college, where you both entered different professions.
Despite the fact that Rick has always refused your offers, whether it's homemade sweets or breakfast, as well as postcards wishing you a good morning and a good day. The way you spoke about him during his training sessions at the school gym, brought him water and cheered for him at competitions. Despite the fact that he rejected all this, you still saw in this guy someone who helped you when you broke up after an abusive relationship, he was a ray of light who decided to help you, which became the main lever of your love for him.
But it wouldn't be so easy if Rick showed you only his dislike and disgust for your courtship of him. But sometimes it seemed that being in the same company brought him closer to you and allowed you to learn more about him. Sometimes he stopped being so cold towards you, but then he pulled away again, as if he was pulling you away at arm's length.
Today, finally tired of the eternal attempts to win Rick's heart, you decided to confess to him on the way home.
Having plucked up the courage to block the guy's way, you finally confessed to him by handing him a box of chocolates. But Rick, being in a terrible mood all day, knocked over a box of your chocolates, looking at you with annoyance and anger.
"I'm already sick of you.. How long can you hide at my feet like you're my pet dog? I'm not interested in you right now."
He growled and walked around you, staying behind. In any case, Eric knew that tomorrow you would appear before him with your smile and the eyes he needs.
