Caught In A Triangle

crushing at first sight

*****

As he left I hugged myself for a job well done.

" His finally mine" I thought

Not really mine though but he sounded like he was going to break up with his girlfriend so I had hope, he was just going through some emotional trauma and I was going to help him get over her.

I wasn't a bad girl or a boyfriend snatcher but sometimes you just have to do crazy things to get what you want.

I lost my appetite for food due to the joy and happiness I was feeling but there was no way I would leave my half eaten food to waste

" I can't waste my hard earned money" I thought so I forced myself to eat

After eating which took like eternity, I left the restaurant for home . I had no classes again , normally I would have gone to the library to read but I wasn't in the mood to read.

" I will have to prepare for tomorrow" I said to myself

Inwardly I scanned my wardrobe and visualize my clothes to check if any of my clothes were perfect for outing and just then I was interrupted by a call from Debbie.

"Howie" I said as soon as I answered the call

"Sorry I gave you the wrong number , I will send the correct one tommorow" she said

"Are you talking about your boyfriend" I asked confused

"Yes, I mistakenly gave you the wrong one" she continued

" Okay, no problem I have not even called" I assured her

" Am on my way somewhere, I will call you later" Debbie said and hung up immediately

I checked the number she gave me earlier

" Maybe she gave me another guy's number" I thought

She's supposed to make mistakes imagine saving 3 guys numbers as "love of my life"

Immediately I thought of the possibility of Debbie being the girl Jasper was talking about. I laughed at the impossibility of it happening

" I couldn't have a crush with the guy Debbie condems alot" I thought and immediately shrugged all negative thoughts and focused on the moments I shared with Jasper.

**********

(Jasper's POV)

I walked into the restaurant not because I was hungry but I just wanted to clear my thoughts about Debbie.

"Yeah what my friends and coursemates said were all true, Debbie was really cheating on me" I said to myself

As I walked inside I saw a girl waved at me. I really didn't want to go because at the moment i felt all girls were the same but something about her drew my attention.

She had an innocent face with pretty dark eyes and a sweet smile, those features attracted me towards her

" Hello Jimmy" she said

I was taken aback because she actually mistook me for someone else

" Am not Jimmy" I replied plainly and she said sorry

We introduced ourselves and chatted nicely. Honestly she was a fun and lively person not also forgetting that she was very beautiful.

A black beauty for that matter, slim with a perfect body for modeling.

I was enjoying her company when she asked

" So do you have a girlfriend?"

I felt the question was really akward and she apologized immediately but also repeated the same question in another manner.

" Was she having a crush on me or was she just scared my girlfriend might do something to her?"

Whatever it was I felt comfortable with her to say how emotionally down I was.

I told her about my relationship but I didn't mention Debbie's name and my joy grew when she agreed to go out with me the next day.

I really can't tell if I was having a crush on her but I felt she was really special and I found myself wanting to stay with her more. I didn't want to loose her friendship so I brought my phone to take her number.

She gave me her number and her last words struck me to my bones

" No problem, call me when you need someone to talk to" she said with the most beautiful smile

I had to leave immediately because I felt like if I stayed I would end up confessing the feelings that were already growing.

"Was I gradually falling for her" I asked myself when I stepped out

" No , that can't be true I only love Debbie" I answered myself

I cleared all my thoughts and left..
