😲 Amber Shocked: Cocoa Asks the One Question She Wasn’t Ready For

Amber shocked When Cocoa asked Amber what she thought about Anthony 

🌇 A Quiet Evening Turns into a Turning Point

It was a calm Wednesday evening. Amber had just returned from work and was unwinding on the couch, sipping herbal tea and half-watching a romantic drama on TV. The apartment was silent, the lights dimmed low. That’s when her phone buzzed.

It was Cocoa.

“Mind if I stop by? Just need a friend,” the message read.

Amber smiled softly. Cocoa had always been her sounding board—cool, calm, and disarmingly honest. She replied, “Of course. Door’s open.”

🚪 Cocoa Walks In with a Smile and a Question

Within fifteen minutes, Cocoa walked through the door holding a bag of snacks and two bottles of juice. The girls sat together, chatting about work, gossiping about celebrities, and laughing about TikToks.

But Cocoa hadn’t come for small talk. Amber noticed the pause in her voice, the flicker in her eyes. Something was on her mind.

Then, in the middle of laughter, Cocoa set her drink down, turned to Amber, and asked:

“Amber… what do you really think about Anthony?”

The room fell silent.

Amber blinked. “What?”

🧨 Amber’s Brain Freezes: Not the Question She Expected

Of all the things she thought Cocoa would ask, this wasn’t it.

Anthony.

The name felt like an old scar—healed over but still tender. Amber’s hands fidgeted in her lap. She forced a smile.

“What do you mean?” she asked, deflecting.

Cocoa didn’t flinch. “I mean what I asked. Do you still have feelings for him? Or do you hate him? Be honest with yourself—not just with me.”

Amber stared at the wall. The TV buzzed in the background, but all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

🌊 Memories Come Crashing Back

In that moment, a wave of memories washed over Amber.

  • The first time she met Anthony—his laugh, his eyes.

  • The nights they spent talking until sunrise.

  • The chaos, the betrayal, the confusion.

  • Shayla.

  • Kai.

  • And then… silence.

So much had been left unsaid between them. Amber had buried those emotions deep, locked in a box labeled "DO NOT OPEN."

But Cocoa had just cracked it open.

🥀 The Truth Amber Didn’t Want to Say

Amber’s voice was low when she finally spoke.

“I thought I moved on. I told myself I did.”

Cocoa nodded, waiting.

“But part of me… part of me still wonders what would’ve happened if things were different. If he had chosen me. If I had stayed.”

Tears welled up in her eyes—not because she still loved Anthony, but because she never got closure.

“I don’t love him anymore. But I also don’t think I ever stopped caring.”

🧠 Cocoa’s Calm Wisdom

Cocoa reached out and took Amber’s hand.

“That’s okay,” she said. “You’re human. Just because you don’t want someone back doesn’t mean the feelings vanish overnight.”

She paused.

“But you need to be honest with yourself before someone else gets hurt. Whether it’s Anthony, Wayne, or whoever comes next.”

Amber nodded slowly. She knew Cocoa was right. She had to face her feelings, not run from them.

📞 A Decision Looming: Should Amber Call Anthony?

Later that night, after Cocoa had left, Amber stood by the window, phone in hand.

Anthony’s name hovered at the top of her recent contacts. She didn’t know if she wanted to call him, scream at him, or say goodbye for good.

But one thing was clear: Cocoa’s question had unearthed a storm inside her—and now, Amber had a choice.

To confront the past, or finally close the door forever.
