Cheating Boyfriend Book I: Nothing is Perfect

Chapter 1 - A normal day part I

        “ Goodmorning babe. My day is doing fine. Because, you made me feel special “ said the woman as he placed her phone on her bed.

    The woman felt like something bad would happen. It was an inkling feeling that she was not familiar with. It was the first time for her to feel this way. She couldn’t stop looking at the moon. To her, she felt a pull towards the moon. Like it was making her feel comfortable. Even when, she had a shi**y day most of her time. She didn’t want to ruin her relationship with her boyfriend. But, a part of her felt like he was hiding something from her. She couldn’t shake off this feeling. And her ‘ bad feeling ‘ never lies to her. 

        “ I never get tired of looking at the moon. I feel like it’s calling for me. Is it a warning or is it there to protect me ? '' as the woman constantly gazed at the moon with a longing yet passionate in her heart when she took a deep breath.

        “ I feel like something bad would happen, but in the middle of it something else will change deep within me “ as the woman shakes that feeling off even when she knew she shouldn’t ignore it.

    The woman looked down at her phone. She smiled as her boyfriend texted her. It made her feel special. But, she would always feel restless. Like she’s been having vague dreams. A dream that says either wise. She would end up waking up at night with nightmares. She didn’t want that dream to come true. Because, she knew that a part of her that her dream would reveal the truth that hides in the shadow.

    The man texted her a couple of minutes later. 

        “ I wish you were by my side. I miss you  “ as the man texted her back when he sighs, since he felt he was missing something in life.

        “ I wish you were by my side to babe. I miss you too “ as the woman looks at her phone as she sighs.

    He didn’t want to stop texting her, but he didn’t want his boss to yell at him. When he didn't respond back, he plopped his phone on the bed. He won’t know if she texted him back. He grabbed the towel by the drawer. He starts to undress himself as he walks towards the bathroom. He starts to turn on the faucet in the shower. He waits for the water to become warm. It was cold when he placed his hand near the water to feel it. He lifted his head up to look at himself in the mirror. He would tell himself that he’s handsome over and over. 

    It was a reminder to himself. He won’t listen to what people say to him. All he cares about is that his girlfriend loves him for who he was. He ignored that feeling he had when he woke up. Talking to his girl made his day better. He combed his hair with a brush. He didn’t want to tangle his hair as it was already messy. He slowly entered the shower. He didn’t want to trip and bang his head against the floor. If that happened he doesn’t want his memories to be erased or forgotten. 

    He was in deep thought as let the shower water on his hair. He sighs again and again. He didn’t like to work, but it was the only way for him to earn money. He wants to be independent. He always dreams about having a family of his own one day. He grabbed the shampoo and placed it in his hand. He put it into his head. He scrubbed his hair over and over. Until, the shampoo is over all his hair. Then, he would use the dove white soap to soap himself clean. He wants to be extra clean and smell fresh. 

    He then rinses himself off. He did the same thing with the conditioner. But he left the conditioner in his hair for like seven minutes. He had enough time to think things through. He doesn’t want to make a mistake. As he was thinking of what to do after work, he didn’t know that he was being watched from a distance. He won’t know who it was, because whoever it was; they are watching him from the shadow. After seven minutes had passed, he turned off the water. He dries himself really well and quickly without missing anything. 

    He wrapped the towel to cover himself. He went to his room. He’s not that good at styling himself. But, he didn’t really care. He wears whatever he wants. After that, he grabbed his phone; his apartment keys; work keys and wallet. He didn’t have time to eat breakfast. He closed his room door. Then he starts to head out of the apartment. He locked his apartment, since he’s making sure no one could enter the building. He walked down the stairs and out of the apartment building. 

    He made it in time after walking a few miles to the bus stop. He had enough money to take the bus. He noticed there were few people on the bus. He looked at his phone at about seven o’clock in the morning. It took him like one or two hours to get ready. He was busy texting his girlfriend back and forth. He didn’t notice anyone saying anything to him.

        “ Excuse me sir, is this seat taken ? “ said an unknown female voice as she was trying to get his attention.

    The woman with light brown hair and brown eyes starts to frown. It was the first time for any guy to ignore her. There was nothing wrong with her. She was beautiful and attractive. She didn’t care if she flaunted her looks. She starts to roll her eyes without his notice. She likes the challenge. She had a feeling this guy had a girlfriend. But, that didn’t stop her motives in hitting on him. She starts to plan everything in her mind. She thought this man was rich when she saw how he was dressed. 

    However, little did she know; that was entirely not true. She fixes her clothes. She knew all the weaknesses that the guys have. And that would be that guys love women who have a great body and good access. Except she has a bad personality. She didn’t really show it. She acts nice towards him for starters. She had to suck it up. She placed her hands on his right hand. She slowly traced her fingers all the way to his shoulder. She leaned close to his ear as she whispered to him.

        “ Excuse me sir, is this seat taken ? “ said the unknown female as she bent down to his level as she tapped his shoulder after she blew into his ear.

    He was interrupted by texting his girlfriend. When he looked up, he saw a beautiful girl he didn't know looking at him. He tried not to stare at her melons as it was wide open. He could tell from her clothing. The woman saw him gulping to clear his throat. She tries to hide her smirk of victory. He’s supposed to hate her touch. But, there was a spark he felt from her. It was a spark of lust. He tries to resist her temptation. He didn’t want to hurt his long time girlfriend of one year and three months. He was happy and content with his lover.

    He shook his head letting her know that the seat wasn’t taken. He was distracted by her beauty. He didn’t read his last text from his girl. He snapped back to reality when his phone started to ring. He looked at his phone. He noticed his girlfriend was calling him. He ignored her beautiful girl. He gave his full attention to his girl. He placed an earbud on his ear.

        “ Hey baby! Am I bothering you ? “ as the girl on the phone was his lover.

        “ No of course not love. You’re never a bother to me “ as he responded back trying to ignore the woman he saw earlier.

    As he was talking to his lover, he started to jolt up. He felt a hand on his leg. He ignored it.  He couldn’t do anything about it. He didn’t want to make a scene. That’s when one of his friends came up to the bus. His friend was shocked to see his friend with a beautiful girl that’s not his girlfriend. He had a feeling that he was talking to his girlfriend on the phone. So as his friend; he helped him out. He walked up to him.

        “ Hey bro! What’s up man? '' as a friendly voice appeared as he extended his hand to him.

    He slightly looked up with his eyes. He extended his hand to his friend.

        “ Nothing much bruh. Just talking to my girl while heading to work “ as he continues to talk to his girl on the phone while chilling with one of his friends.

    He starts to sit in the middle between his friend and the girl. The woman moves away to let him sit down. She starts to lean against the window. She cursed under her breath. She didn’t like what this man did to her. It was as if this man was dissing her for whatever she did. He says goodbye to his girl on the phone after he says he loves her. Then, the man hangs up the phone after he reaches the mall. When the bus stopped at the mall, he and his friend got off the bus. They walked together to go to work. 

    The woman; on the other hand, she wanted to know where he works. She went the other way, so it doesn’t look like she’s stalking him. When she’s gone, his friend finally can relax. 

        “ Hey man,  you know that girl that was on the bus with you earlier. Don’t go near her man. She’s bad news “ as he made sure that woman didn't hear what he was saying.

        “ Lay off man. That’s not cool. I have only eyes on my girl. I don’t need another woman “ as he thinks that his friend is crushing on that woman.

    His friend noticed that he wasn’t really taking this seriously. He had this feeling that the woman was bad news. He just couldn’t shake off that feeling. On the other side of the mall, the beautiful girl couldn’t get his face out of her mind. Her friend came over to her with her other group of friends. Her friend had a lot of male friends. The men saw her beauty. But, she wasn’t interested in anyone. As her friend came over, she introduced all her friends to her.

        “ Hey friend. I would like to introduce you to my friends. If that was okay ? “ said a young girl in her eighteen years of age as she took a deep breath.

    The girl just nodded at her friend’s response. She didn’t say anything.

        “ From left to right, this is Oliver Anderson, this is Oscar Beckett, this is Orion Blackwell, this is Owen Campbell, this is Orlando Cohen, Oswaldo Smith and Omar Harrison “ as the girl gestures at each one of her introductions when the girl nods at them all. She didn’t take any eyes off of them. 

        “ Guys this is my beautiful friend, Acadia Braxley “ as she gestures to her guy friend to see if any of these men are interested in her.

    Acadia nodded as she extended her hand. None of the guys takes it. There was no one shaking her hand. Which was the first for her again.

        “ Soraya Miller as usual, you’re so popular my friend  “ as she envies her friend for having guys like them be friends with her.

    Soraya rolled her eyes at her. She pulled the chair next to her. She sat down. She could tell her friend Acadia’s face. Soraya was hungry. She wanted to try something else to eat. So, she got up and her friends followed her. Acadia followed her too. When they reach a destination after so much walking, they have reached a pizza food place. As they entered it, Acadia was surprised to see the man she saw from the bus. The man was surprised to see a lot of customers these days. Especially the woman he saw on the bus. 

    He wants to forget what happened. He wants to focus on his girlfriend. Some of Soraya’s friends recognize the people working. Oliver and Owen walked up to him at the cashier. The others stayed with Soraya and her friends. The man tries to smile, since he’s at work.

        “ Hello sir, what can I get for you ? “ as the man looked up to greet the customer.

        “ Bruh, it’s me Oliver and this guy here is Owen “  as the man relaxed when he saw someone he knew.

        “ Oh hey Oliver and Owen, who are you with ? “ as the man talks to them while he glances real quick.

    Oliver glanced back at his friends.

        “ I’m with Soraya and friends. She also brought one of her female friend “ said Oliver as he gestured each one of them one by one.

        “ And that beautiful girl next to Soraya, that’s Acadia. They have been friends since high school “ said Owen as if he was reading her mind wanting him to introduce her to his friends.

    Owen could tell Acadia was staring at his friends. He winked at Acadia. She looked at his friend. She holds her phone pretending like she hasn’t met him before. Even though; in reality; she has met him. Owen called out to Acadia to come over. She did come to them.

        “ Bruh, this beautiful girl here is Acadia. And Acadia this handsome man is — “ as Owen introduced her to him, but he was cut off by him in a polite way.

    The man sighs. He knew she was beautiful. But, he was taken already. He can’t look at other girls. Not when he’s in a relationship. And he doesn’t want to ruin it.

        “ Hello Acadia, my name is Jerome. It was a pleasure meeting you on the bus. But, I have a girlfriend. So I would mind if you don’t flirt with me “ as he gently rejected any of her advances or flirtatious things she would do to him.

    The other men that were with Soraya try to hold back their laughter. The customers that were here also tried not to pay attention. Acadia felt humiliated. This was the first time a guy rejected her. She wonders who his girlfriend was. Owen reads her mind again as he sighs.

        “ Wow I’m impressed. You’re still dating your girlfriend. Is she coming to pick you up as usual ? “ said Owen as he tried to break the tense feeling in the air.

    Before Jerome could answer, it was almost time for his break. He excuses himself from his friends. The others understand he was busy working. He went in the back. He informs his boss that he’s going to take his break. His boss nodded at him. His other employee takes his place while he starts his first break at work. As he started to leave, his girlfriend called him.

        “ Hey babe, are you hungry ? I’m on my way “ as Jerome heard his girlfriend talk to him on the phone right away as his face lit up.

        “ Yeah I am. I’m on my break. Do you want to eat pizza or something else ? “ as Jerome tries to calm his heart, because his girlfriend is coming to visit him.

    Before he got an answer from his girl, he heard a beeping sound of a car coming from outside. He was surprised to see countless sports cars. All of them came out at the same time. One person came close to the door of the car. A gentle hand appears as she places them by their hand. She got out of the car gracefully. Jerome was awed at his girlfriend’s beauty. But, he also felt intimidated by seeing more guys around her. He knew she was very popular. And that she was well liked by everyone.

    His friends were there with him waiting outside. The group of men was speaking in a native tongue. She starts to sigh. She turned around as she waved at the person who gave them a ride to the mall. The cars drove off in the distance. One guy had a slender, masculine build, fair skin and well toned body. He had defined triangle face shape, narrow thin eyebrow shape, deepest almond eye shape, roman nose shape and class lip shape. He had chestnut coffee hair color and his eyes were olive colored.

    His hair style was slicked back. In front of him, the man was standing next to her right. He was holding out his hand to her. He was helping her to be careful not to fall. He saw another guy. He was standing to her left. This man had the same physical appearance as the second guy he saw. But, he had different hair styles, hair color and eye color. The man had a really outstanding hair color. He had turquoise hair color. And his eyes were light green. While, his hair style was pompadour. The other guys Jerome saw surrounded her. 

    They guarded her back, and her front as the other two blocked her side. The others had the same physical appearance as the other two. But, they had different hair styles, hair color and eye color. Some had platinum blonde hair color. Some had light green hair. Others had blonde hair. As for their eyes, it varies from icy blue to ocean blue to green eyes. As for their hair style, they had quiff to faux hawk with undercut hair style.

    The girl felt overwhelmed by these people surrounding her. She rolled her eyes. She could recognize a familiar scent. She lifted her head up. And she saw her boyfriend in front. They helped her get out of the street. She signals them to step aside. They did as they were told. She walks gracefully then runs up to him to embrace.

        “ Babe, you’re here. I missed you “ as his girlfriend pecked him on his cheek, while she felt countless eyes staring at her.

        “ Baby I want you to meet my friends. They are dying to see you “ as the man tries to hold back himself from rolling his eyes at them, even when his girlfriend starts to giggle at the gesture.
