When friends become foes

A NEW DIRECTION

There's a pattern in which an even occurs that often makes you wonder if the universe is against you, in this context Cupid seems t be against kate.

In a world where love is underrated, and confused for lust and fun, Cupid still won't shoot it's arrow at kate. Is she even existing in this world?, or is she just here to complete the number of humans on earth. Back when it was with Kevin, she thought he loved her enough to be in a relationship with her. She did all she could keep him and make him happy, she was uncomfortable having s*x since it was her first time but she did it anyway for him.

She'd bury herself in s*x magazines and relationship podcasts just to learn new things and gestures to keep the relationship moving, looking back now, kate felt immense pain as her heart cracked a bit. Kevin was just about fun, all she meant to him was fun and s*x, that was all she was good for. Jenny had blamed her leading Kevin towards that direction, she put all blame on herself for loving in the wrong way. But, hey she loved right?

At least she made an effort to keep what and who was important to her, she just wasn't Kevin's type. Kevin made it all clear.

Her phone dinged, breaking her thoughts, it was a notification. A text from an unknown number: "hey".

"Hi" she texted back. " it's James, I want to talk to you?"

" James? How did you get my number?" Kate texted back confused if he always spoke in an authoritative manner or just maintaining his ego.

" from Jenny, mind if I see you outside? Just for a minute " James asked.

" why? It's late and once it's past 9, I don't leave my place " kate replied regretting why she said that, her heart wanted to run to him, but she kept her cool as well as her dignity.

They continued texting and it was quite shocking how progressive their discussion turned out to be over minutes. Kate new that for James to have texted first, there was something he needed. Something she have always visualized both of them doing, thinking about it made her hot.

After that night, they never spoke again. Seeing each other outside, they both pretended like they didn't know each other. The more James tried to use his silence to make kate want him, the farther kate stayed away from him.

The next text from James came weeks later, breaking the silence between them. "Hey, I'm attending a birthday party this weekend and I thought it would be great if you could come with me," he asked, his message direct and to the point.

Kate was taken aback by the invitation. She hadn't expected James to reach out, especially not after their last encounter. But something about the idea of going to a party with him sparked her curiosity. Maybe it was the chance to let loose and have fun, or maybe it was the opportunity to see James in a different setting. Whatever the reason, Kate found herself agreeing to go with him.

"Okay, I'll come," she replied, trying to sound casual despite her growing excitement.

"Great!" James responded. "I'll pick you up at 7 pm on Saturday."

Kate couldn't help but wonder what the night had in store for her. Little did she know, it would be a night she wouldn't soon forget.

The night came for the birthday party and kate put on her best dress for the party, she met up with James and they left together to the party.

On the way, they where walking side by side when James put his hands round her waist. Kate was amazed but tried to keep her cool, it's what's normally done among the youths, it's all part of having fun. Rather than picturing a perfect relationship with James, then and there kate determined within herself to just let it be a fling. Maybe she should give fun a chance and stop whyning about a perfect love, making it a fling and perhaps a one night stand l, gave kate an edge, she loosened up a little and told herself that she was going to have fu at the party with or without James. She realized she got so locked out from the outside worlds like a bird in a cage wanting to break free, she decided to liberate herself. She questioned herself if her morals would let her be free, is it a question of morals or personal choice, a decision she made and was determined to follow
