Victor’s POV
Fuck!!!That was not supposed to happen. I went a little high and didn’t realize it was Allie. I look over to Alex and her juicy body. Damn! she is one hot piece of ass. When Alex said she had extra, I invited her over. Soon, we started humping. Allie was supposed to pay me. I would use it to buy more. I tried texting her but I think she blocked me. I look over to Alex. I could use a good f**k. I have a perfect plan for Lee.
Yasmine’s POV
It has been two days when Allie came back. All I can see is her crying or staring at her phone. Every little thing makes her cry. Yesterday she looked at Nic and me with sad eyes. If Nic ever did this to me, I have no clue what will happen. I had major trust issues when I started dating him. But he was an ugh one. While others would get sick of my nagging and insecurities, Nic embraced it. He reassured me at every step. When I look at my past, I often wonder why I was so at Lee, I realize. This created major trust issues in me.
Like Lee, my family and my “ex” created a major void. I still remember my many addictions. Whenever I use to get overwhelmed, I either ate too much or spend money without any caution. I met Nic at my school reunion. He was someone in school who you see and ignore. I knew it was him when he was there every night listening to my crap. He never complained or demanded anything in return. However, I was suspicious. I broke his heart with my insecurities. However, here I am with the man I love so much.
Nic was out to get us lunch. Lee is still in the bedroom, sobbing. I make a cup of Latte and go to her. Peeking inside, I could see her curled up and watching something on her phone.
“Lee, I made you some coffee.”
No response
“So, what’s up?”
No response
I go close to her and sit right next to her. It’s the movie “Beautiful Creatures”. She keeps looking at Lena and imagine herself. I take away her phone and she curls inside the comforter.
“Lee, I know you are hurt. I am so sorry. But crying over him and barely eating anything is not a solution.”
“Easy for you to say. You still have Nic. How would you feel if he never gave you a second chance?”
“I will not glorify myself, Lee. I f****d up with Nic that time. I am no saint, but you know I am right. I love you, Lee. I cannot see you like this. I am not telling you to discontinue your pity-party. But please, eat something. ”
She finally looks up. I can see her eyes swollen and nose red. She is hurt, more than she can take. She loved that asshole so much. I was so suspicious when she told me about him. But I had my doubts about Nic as well.
" A bad idea, but want to go out? It will change your mind.”
“Maybe, I am not sure.”
“It will be like old times. I will try on dresses and buy none. Then go for some Pizza. At last, a book store.”
“I could not buy any book past few months.”
“Now, that is unacceptable. You love reading.”
“I do but with job and him...” she paused, ” I did not have time to read one.”
“Now you do. Let’s eat something and we will head out by evening.”
She nodded. I could see some hope in my efforts. It will be long before she recovers from his betrayal. And even longer when she learns to trust. I text Nic about our plans.
Allie’s POV
I am in the book store. For some reason, I like it here. It is an old house that is turned into a book store. And Yasmine took off. That woman is a book hoarder. Nic is sure they will have a library when they are in their fifties. I decided to buy some “hyped” books. Soon, I hear my name. It is a very comforting voice, tbh my favourite. It’s Vi. I saw him. He is a mess, just like me. His eyes are red and his beautiful face looks pale. As much as I hate him, a part of me wants to comfort him. He looks so weak and vulnerable. “I know I am in no position to talk to you. What I did is very f****d up. I broke your trust. Honestly, I shouldn’t be here. But I love you, I do. Please Lee can we talk outside?”
“Sure”. I went on with him. I wish that I fix this. I am not ignoring his cheating, but I wish he changes. It is difficult for me to let him go. I don’t think I can be without him. I hope he did it unintentionally. I mean, he was high when I caught him.
As we walk outside, he holds my hand. Just like the old days. Vi is more active than me. I am just a lazy cow. As I walk around, I feel a little light. Somehow, being with him takes away my pain. I thought I should tell Yasmine, but I know her. She will be disappointed. I am guilty but I want to hear his side of the story. I know him, he loved me. Soon, we reach near a car. I look at him and he gestures me to get inside. I sit inside and he kisses me. As he continues to caress my hair and kiss me, I feel some movement in the backseat. Before I can say anything, his other free hand presses my nose against a napkin. Soon, I fall into a deep slumber.
