Longing You

CHAPTER 8

Cole closed the door of his small office with more force than necessary.

Although he didn't care at all.

"That...THAT...!"

The young man, with a gesture of helplessness, sat down in his seat and, while observing without seeing the screen of his laptop, he started to remember the words of his boss.

With love...

with LOVE, Jax.

.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ: *⋆.*:･ﾟ: .⋆*･ﾟ

"But... Since when are they so close?!"

“I can not believe that this is happening to me ... that he is dating ... her"

After all, three years ago, he had not seen any of them.

Neither Jax nor Amy.

Not since that afternoon, they had left the hotel with their faces lit and anger shining in their eyes.

And now...

Now they are here... and together.

Cole sighed.

"If only I could have explained it to them...” - he said to himself as he picked up his pen and, with a gesture that was rather a habit, began to twirl it between his fingers.

ﾟ･ ｡ﾟ FLASHBACK ﾟ｡･ﾟ

“I do not know what your problem is, Jay” - said Cole as he sat in one of the empty chairs that were in front of his old friend

“I don't think it is of your concern with whom I have married or not ... we haven't seen each other for more than five years already, things change. "

The young man, who had recently returned from the country, observed him with a frown on his face.

“How can it not be, Cole?” - Jay muttered while grumbling under his breath

“You are my friend and, nevertheless, you married my ex-lover... and you have even had a daughter with her!".

Cole sighed.

"Jay, you left her .. you left her to marry Amy” - the young man replied while shaking his head sadly

“you played with both of them... you went out with both at the same time ..."

However, Jay, giving a strong blow on the table with his fist, prevented him from continuing to speak.

“I know!” - He exclaimed while leaning forward

"I know I did not behave well with them but ... I loved them both!"

Cole looked at him but said nothing. After all, Jay already knew what he thought of the subject...

He could understand his friend, but ...

To go out with both of them at the same time?

Without telling anything?

That was unforgivable!

“And you ... you married my Brie while I was away!” - Jay exclaimed as he pointed an accusing finger at him

“you're a rat!"

"I already know that ...” - thought the young man while remembering the face of his Jax.

A face flooded with tears that were looking at the slightly bulging belly of the girl that was in front of him.

“That happened after your wedding with Amy!” - Cole exclaimed, unable to contain himself any longer

“tell me something... How do you think she felt when she discovered that you were also going out with her best friend? That while you were telling her that you were on a work trip, you were actually with Amy?".

Jay closed his mouth and slowly lowered his finger to lay his hand on the hall table.

“I..."

“And not happy with that ... you married Amy only two weeks after Brie left you” - Cole continued saying without paying attention to the expression of pain that crossed the face of his friend

“I have always wanted to ask you something...What were you thinking of doing if Brie did not discover it? Did you thought you could continue with your wedding plans with Nam while keeping Brie here?"

Jay sighed, looking down at his lap.

“You know I've been with Amy since high school, I ... I guess our relationship became a routine and then... then Brie appeared, being so beautiful, so happy that ..."

Cole shook his head.

"I cannot believe it...” - he thought,

"she was right from the start...”

As, with every minute that was passing into the conversation, he was understanding much more the decision of Brie to leave Jay.

To start over with someone else...

"If only things had turned out differently ..."

Finally, when he noticed that his old friend was not going to say anything else, he sighed and with a sad gesture, placed a hand over his friend's.

“Jay, I think ..."

However, he could not continue with what he had planned to say as, suddenly, someone dropped all the liquid from a glass on Jay's head.

“What the hell?!” - exclaimed the young man as he turned towards the person who was behind him.

His hands into his soaked hair.

“So that was the truth... you were cheating on me with Brie!” - exclaimed a young girl who, accompanied by a handsome man, was still holding an empty glass while staring at her husband with a hurt look on her face

“and you, Cole ... you helped him with this farce!"

Cole and Jay paled.

After all, just in front of them, were Amy and Jax.

“Nam ...” - began to murmur Jay harshly while Cole, completely pale, could not stop looking at the face of his ex.

"Oh no...."

"No way... this cannot be happening!"

“Now I understand so many things ...” - commented Nam while looking at both of them with eyes flooded with tears

“those weekends in which you had to finish so many projects from university... those afternoons in which it was impossible to contact you. You were with her!"

Jay shook his head as he got up from his seat and tried to take a few steps toward the girl.

Nam, however, turned towards Cole with an expression of sadness and disappointment that made the young man pale even more than he already was.

“And you, Cole ... when Jax told me what had happened between the both of you, I did not believe him” - commented Nam while looking slightly at the young man who, at his side, still did not say anything

“but he was right... You can not be trusted, you...you... TRAITOR! "

After which she burst into tears and, turning back the way they had just come, began to run towards the exit of the hotel.

Jax followed her a few seconds later but, not without first directing a look of disappointment and hatred towards Cole. A look that stuck a dagger into the boy's heart.

ﾟ･ ｡ﾟEND OF FLASHBACK ﾟ｡･ﾟ

Cole sighed and, trying to put those memories away from his mind, he turned on his computer and started entering his passwords.

"I'd better start at once with that report ...” - he said to himself as he growled slightly,

"or I'll never have it in time for that meeting."

A few minutes later he was involved in figures and data, balances and tables of results..., although part of his mind was still thinking about that bouquet and a small card that would undoubtedly make his old friend very happy.

His first love ...

"And to think that there was a time in which I liked her so much ... in which I believed that I could never forget her... I never thought that, in the end, we would end up like this"

After all, it is that never, even in his wildest thoughts, could he have imagined that the sweet Nam would end up being his RIVAL OF LOVE.

Rival...

As if!

Cole let out a slight sad laugh.

"To be rivals Jax should be interested in you too, Cole ...” - he reminded himself while his eyesight blurred with tears,

"and for him, you no longer exist ... you're worth nothing"

Cole growled slightly and, after rubbing his eyes hard, returned his focus on the screen.

He had a report to finish.
