I took a deep breath with a huge smile on my face. This'll be the second time I'm being to Steph's house.
The last time I came over,I couldn't even stay for 5 minutes because my mum called immediately she noticed I wasn't home.
To think I managed to jump over the fence a while ago? It's crazy. I raised my hand to ring the doorbell but on second thoughts,no. I wanna see the look of surprise on his face.
Feeling contented with my decision,I turned the door knob and walked into the living room.
The huge smile on my face instantly melted at the scene in front of me. Stephen banging on my twin sister like there wasn't tomorrow and her moaning bitchily.
They hadn't noticed my presence cause I hadn't made a noise.
"S... Steph!"i called out in disbelief. The one thing I knew Steph for was his loyalty.
Or didn't I know him in the first place? Has he been making a fool out of me all these time?
I watched him pull out of her throwing on his briefs back on.
"s**t!"I heard him cuss lowly.
"Are you gonna explain what's going on here?"I demanded,my voice laced with hurt. Dora smacked her lips wearing a smug smile.
"There's nothing to explain sweetheart. What you saw is exactly what happened"she spoke sweeping her hair backwards. I so much hate the fact that this girl and I share a certain resemblance.
"You've heard her Aurora. I think it's best if you just leave"Stephen said spoke with no single trace of remorse or guilt.
You've got to be f*****g kidding me right now. I refuse to believe I've been played.
"Seriously? Steph!! You're trying to say,all these times you've been telling me I love you, you've been f*****g my sister behind my back? Where the hell did I go wrong huh?"I shouted hurtfully. I couldn't even feel angry because somehow,I felt I was also to be partly blamed.
"You went wrong every where Rora!! Everyone got to flaunt their girlfriends but I couldn't. Not like you were even beautiful in the first place but still I couldn't even hold you without being scared of your mum doing something. Then again,you didn't even give me the slightest thing Rora. Ranging from even a kiss to s*x! Give me a reason why I shouldn't leave you?"he spoke as a matter of fact.
A tear fell,and like that,an ocean of them flowed.
"You...you said it didn't matter. You said you loved me nonetheless Steph"I spoke not wanting to believe I've lost him to the witch I call a sister.
"Love someone who's already married to someone else on paper? Tell me another joke"he scoffed running his hand on his hair and I turned to look at Dora who rolled eyes at me.
"I was going to tell you Steph. That's why I'm here Right now!"I yelled back.
"Does it matter? You're here to tell me everything will be okay and you'll find a way round this? You've been convincing yourself with those fake lines of yours for years Aurora. Nothing is ever changing!"he shouted sense into me.
"That.... that's not true. This is just a phase that's bound to pass Steph. Just tell me everything that's happened was a mistake and I swear, I'll forget this ever happened. I'll let go of the betrayal. I can't loose you Stephen"I cried.
If I hadn't been sure of what I felt for Stephen all these years,I was sure of it now. I loved him dearly and I didn't want to loose him. I wouldn't be able to take it.
"Well here's a news flash Aurora. You've lost him a long time again. Let's say you've literally been dating yourself. Now,if you don't mind,excuse us"Dora stood up not minding her nakedness.
As she pulled me out,I had my eyes on Steph who wasn't saying anything at all. I was almost pushed out when I spoke up.
"Look at me right now Steph and tell me that you never really loved me. That all the I love you(s) and late midnight texts were all fake"I spoke trying to find a piece of string I could hold onto.
"They were all fake Aurora. You've heard it. Now,leave"he spoke and that was what Dora needed to hear cause she pushed me out slamming the door shut.
My legs wobbled,I fell to the ground crying heavily. As if on cue,the rain began falling on me. If only it could help in washing away my pains.
Finding out I'm engaged to an unknown guy and finding out I've been played all these time by my boyfriend on same night? What could be worse than this?
I screamed loudly trying to ease the tightness I was feeling in my chest.
Imagining myself getting married to a total stranger, letting someone who I didn't feel a thing for,take my innocence suddenly made me feel worse.
I'd rather let someone who isn't in anyway related to my problems take it than someone who my mum chose for me.
That's it. I bet the reason they chose me to get married is because I'm the most innocent and pure one. Let's see what'll happen when I tell them I ain't a virgin no more.
This is the only way out right now I guess. Staggering,I made my way out unto the street as I hailed down a cab.
"Starlight club please"I spoke immediately I entered. I can't be the only one on the loosing end.
I convinced myself that I was doing the right thing throughout the drive to the club ignoring my endless tears,an evidence of my aching heart.
