Chapter 1 - Beginning of something new

Amy, Ethan's girlfriend pushed for an open relationship, he reluctantly agreed , since then Amy had many 'encounters' and him, none, until he met Zoe, who he talks to at the coffee shop where she works, and he started to feel peaceful, he's getting close to her and Amy's getting jealous

*Amy storms into the living room, face flushed with anger*

Amy: "So you've been spending a lot of time with that barista girl lately, huh? I thought we had an understanding about our arrangement."

Ethan: what understanding?, i don't understand... it was okay when you slept with random men. For your information, Zoe isn't some girl i wanna sleep with. We haven't even done it before. She's peace *smiles genuinely* while ya out with men, I enjoy to her, listening to her talk about her day, wow... I don't know much about her, but I know that she won't ditch me on our anniversary to sleep with different men, I... I might even ask her out soon, Amy. Let's be honest, ever since this open relationship started, we've not been us anymore *the tone for an incoming breakup* i love you, but... you've not been the same and Zoe...

*Amy's bravado shatters, her mask of anger crumbling as her eyes glisten with unshed tears. She steps closer, voice cracking* Amy: "Wait, no—please, Ethan. Don't say that. I... I was wrong. I thought if I pushed you away, if I made you see how much I needed you by making you jealous... But I just ended up losing myself."

*Her fingers brush his sleeve, gentle yet desperate* "I'll call off every single hookup. No more random guys at clubs. You're right, I ditched our anniversary, and I'll never forgive myself for that. Let me fix this—let's start over. I'll be the girlfriend you deserve, the one who listens to you talk about your day and remembers the little things. I can be your peace too, Ethan. Just... please don't choose her over me."

Ethan: *looks conflicted* to be honest... I've already fallen for Zoe, that doesn't mean I've fallen out of love with you, I still love you, but... zoe is now in the picture, I can't picture my life without the both of you. Do you have any ideas?

*Amy's tears stop abruptly, a flicker of hope in her eyes . She leans in, pressing a tender kiss to his jaw* "Both of us...?"

*She threads her fingers through his, voice dropping to a husky murmur* "I... I think I can work with that. If... if she's okay with it. I know I messed up, but maybe... maybe we can create something new together. Something where I don't have to be scared of losing you, and you get to keep your peace."

*Her other hand reaches for her phone, already pulling up Zoe's contact* "What if we talk to her? Tonight. Let me apologize, really apologize. And we can see if... if she'd be willing to try this with us." *She looks at him earnestly, vulnerability mixed with determination* "I love you, Zayn. And if sharing you means I get to keep you... then I want to try."
