âAhrg...everyone has a boyfriend...I feel like my life is a mess...I canât seem to win an audition...my love life his a mess also...
âHey hey ...donât make me feel bad ..,youâre doing great...one day you will be a successful musician...and you will look back at all this and smile...
âI know ...I was just kidding...my regards to Luke ...see you at Ashley place ...Becky said as she walked out of my coffee shop...
Luke and I have been dating since our final year in university...weâve been together for the four years now...we kinda taking things slow...but deep down I really want him to propose...
I was about leaving when Daniel called
?:Hey wassup girl...how you doing..
?:am good Daniel...havenât heard from you for a while...seems Leah is really taking care of you...
He chuckled
?:probably...am kinda heading to work now...but I wanna stop by at your coffee shop...is it cool by you...
?:oh am sorry Daniel...I need to go to Luke place now ..I havenât seen him in two weeks..
?:Are you still dating that pimp...Why are you still together...I hate that dude...
?:we still love each other...and donât worry Iâll tell him you checked on him...
?:ahrggg...gat to go now...see you later
?:hold up ...hangout at Ashley place tonight...make sure you show up
?:Ohk fine...Daniel said as he hunged up
Daniel never liked Luke from the beginning...he claims Luke is a gay,pimp,pervert and many more pathetic names you can think of...Ashley and Becky never had any issues with Luke...
I was so happy going to Luke place we have seen eachother for a while...which made my weekend kinda boring...I tried calling him to make sure he knows am coming over ..but he didnât pick up...
The day was beautiful...the whole street was lively as I walked to the bus stop to catch my bus...I waited at the bus stop for a while until my bus came...the journey was so thrilling...I couldnât wait to see Luke ...Luke and I met at our final year...he helped me at the charity event and later asked for my number..we got pretty close and on a faithful day he asked me out...without hesitating I said yes?...I smiled in the bus remembering Lukeâs face...he is such an handsome lad ...
Soon I got to Lukeâs bus stop..I decided to pick up some flowers ? as a gift to Luke...I tried calling him one last time before taking a taxi down to his apartment..but he wasnât picking up...
âProbably he lost his phone or his phone went off..I should probably head to his house..I said to my self as I stopped a taxi heading to Lukeâs place...
âI know that smile...sheâs in love...the taxi driver said to me
âHow did you know that....I said smiling
âWell I have a daughter and she once smiled like that each time she was on the phone....but..
âBut what....I asked curiously
âShe died last year...the taxi driver said
âOh am so sorry for your loss...itâs very hard to get through that...
âYeah...she was killed by her boyfriend..
âHer boyfriend!!!!!...
âYes..she wanted to end the relationship but he didnât want that..so he beat her to death...
âAnd you didnât report him..,
âOh we did..but he got away with it...Iâll forever miss my beautiful Angel
âAm so sorry about that...
âYeah..so be careful of the dude of chicks date...alright...oh we are here...the taxi driver said as he stopped the car
We were at Lukeâs apartment..I came out of the vehicle and paid the taxi driver...I was about leaving when he called me....
âExcuse me maâam..you overpaid me...
âYeah I knew that...I canât fill the hole in your heart but accept the money pls...I said smiling at him
âYouâre such a good person...Good luck on your boyfriend....he said as he dashed off..
The taxi driver story really touched my heart...I decided Iâll make every if I and Lukeâs moment count...
I used the elevator ? to Lukeâs apartment..I was so thrilled..holding the flowers like braid giggling every 10 sec...hoping to have a wild ? moment with Luke...finally I was at his apartment..I rushed out of the elevator and walked straight to his apartment...
Lukeâs door was halfway opened...like he forgot to completely jam the door...I walked in slowly...like I was in an hunted house...
âLuke???...Luke??..are you in there...I called out.
There was no response...all I could hear was a loud music coming from his room...
The sitting room was scattered...there were drinks and pizza wraps everywhere...figured he hunged out with his guys...thatâs the only explanation to what I saw..
âLuke!!!...the living room is tattered again...Luke???..
I decided to go to his room to check up on him...probably he dozed off while dancing to the loud music or probably he isnât home...
I walked down the his room...I opened the door and shockingly my boyfriend Luke was sleeping with 2 ladies....he didnât seem to know I caught him probably because of the loud music ...tears rolled down my eyes...not only he his cheating ..he his banging two ladies..I mean two ladies...only a porn star could do that...what a waste of time and effort ..my whole eyes were watery..the tears of bitterness rolled down my eyes..
âLuke!!!!!...i screamed as I turned of the music...
Luke was shocked to see me...he didnât realize I would find him in such an act...
âHey hold up..whoâs this bitch...one of the girls said..
âPerhaps you can join us...the other said..
âShut your mouth..thatâs my girlfriend..Luke said as he tried the approach me...
I couldnât hear the sight..the sight of Luke breaking my heart..the sight of Luke making me feel like a fool...I rushed out of the apartment..Luke immediately grabbed his towel and chased after me...
âHold up babe..I can explain everything..pls just listen to me...Luke said as he grabbed my hands..
I immediately slapped Luke very hard...tears rolled down my eyes...
âI deserve that...but please hear me out...
âFour years meant nothing to you??...was it a waste of time ??...
âYou need to understand me Phoebe...I didnât mean to do this...
âSo this was why you avoided my calls...you know what you can continue your low life s**t with those hoes...I donât care...I am done...I said as I threw the flowers at him...
I ran to the elevator with tears in my eyes...my whole mood changed...I caught the love of my life in bed with two hoes...thatâs a real boomer...i wallow in my tears in the elevator...until I decided to call Becky...at this time I was already out of the elevator ...
?:hey Phoebe..whatâs wrong are you crying or what??...
?:am heartbroken...I caught him..
?:hold up Phoebe...I donât understand..who did you see..
?:Luke was cheating on me...I caught him...
?:oh honey...am so sorry about that...why donât you come over to my place letâs talk...
?:alright...Iâll grab a taxi now...
We hunged up...My eyes were still tearing up...the whole scene didnât leave my head...Luke was enjoying his time with the hoes...I was the stupid one to be loyal...
âYou were stupid to fall in love..you were dumb to trust a man...never fall in love Phoebe ...never fall in love...I said to my self...
I walked to the bus stop to wait for my bus....I was all alone at the bus stop..waiting for my bus...I still wanted to cry out my feelings but I controlled my self...at a point a couldnât hold it anymore...i decided to pour out my emotions in tears...I cried my eyes out at the bustop...My feelings were hurt ...I wished the earth could just take me with it...I wallowed in my tears until a young guy walked up too me...
âA beautiful lady like you shouldnât cry over a jerk...he said as he handed me a box of tissue
I looked up to see the generous young lad who helped me...He was very handsome,his smile were bright like the sun...his eyes were greenish...I never knew greenish eyes could look good on a person ..his voice were so thick and masculine...
âThank...than...thank you...I said stammering..I was swayed by his beauty..
âYouâre welcome...you need to move on..I bet you saw him on bed right...
âYes...how did you know...i said drying up my tears
âI have friends who are jerks like that...have seen their girlfriend crying like that...no offense...
âNone taken..thanks for the tissue...so whatâs your ....
He immediately cut in..,
âOh..my bus is here..good luck finding a new boyfriend...till we meet again...he said as he entered the bus and soon the bus left the bus stop...
âI never got his name...he his so handsome and a gentle man...I said to myself...
I never got the mysterious guy name or his number...I decided to call him the tissue guy until we meet again...
Soon my bus to Becky place arrived..I immediately entered the bus and wore my earphones to distract my self from my bad mood...but it seemed no to be working...
Luke had really damaged me emotionally..
Our four years memory flashed back like in the movies...I didnât know when tears flowed down my eyes...I just wasted four years of my life...
Soon I was at becky place..I knock â at her door...
âHey Becky...itâs me open up...
Becky didnât hesitate to open up..she immediately hugged me...
âAm so sorry about what happened Phoebe...you will get over this I promise you...
Tears rolled down my eyes ...perhaps Becky is right..it might look tough now..but I canât tell what the future has for me...
âThanks Becky..but I really loved Luke...and I still do..
âShush..enough on that piece of crap..you donât love Luke...say that..
âI donât love Luke...
âYeah thatâs more like it...so what really happened...Becky asked
I explained everything that had happened at Lukeâs apartment ..
âOMG...that Luke is a monster..2 ladies????!!!
âI know right!!!...only porn stars do that..I said
âGirl you need to get over him ASAP...
âI will get over him..I already promised my self never to love any guy...
âHnmm..you canât really do that you know ??
âThen watch me do that...
âSo have you told the others??...Becky asked
âOh no..you were the first I called...I was so confused on what to do...
âAhrg ..so sorry about that...Iâll tell others now alright??..
âYeah sure...
Becky immediately texted Daniel and Ashley about the horrible news..we all decided to talk about it at Ashleyâs place that night...
âI just texted them..Now what you need to do is rest alright...
âNo no...am fine trust me...
âYou arenât...your eyes are pumped up...your eyes are swollen..anyone could tell you just had a break up...So rest..Iâll wake you when am headed to Ashley place ok???...
I nodded as I layed back on the sofa ? ..
âDonât beat your self up...Iâll go get you some food..Becky said as she walked to the kitchen
I was all alone in the sitting room...wrapped my self on the sofa ..trying to control my tears ?...âYOU DONT NEED LUKE..YOU ARE GOLDEN PHOEBE...I said to myself ...I turned on the music player to make me fall asleep and soon I dozed off...
?THAT NIGHT ?
âTime to go Phoebe..you really slept for a long time..Becky said as she woke me up..
âAhrg..what time is it...I said as I woke up reluctantly
âItâs 6:30pm..we need to go over to Ashley place...
âBut why now..letâs stay an hour..
âOh no no no..this is America..I canât be stuck in traffic..so you better get your ass up ..Becky said as she yanked me up..
I reluctantly got up and washed my face..
We got out of the house and stopped a taxi at the bus stop...We were in the taxi..Becky was looking up nearest singing audition to compete in..i on the other hand was a little bit devastated...I didnât even know when we arrived at Ashley place...
âWe are here Phoebe...Phoebe??!...Becky said as she snapped her fingers in my face...
âOh oh oh..am here..sorry..I was just ...
âThinking???...you need to get over this Luke..there are plenty of hot dudes in America..,so quit worrying...Becky said as she paid the taxi driver
We got out of the taxi and walked into Ashley apartment...Daniel was already at Ashley place with his girlfriend Leah...
Becky and I walked into Ashley apartment and was welcomed with a cake that says YOU ARE GOLDEN on top of it...I was so happy..Ashley and Daniel tried to cheer me up with a small party...Ashley immediately walked up to me and hugged me
âYouâre gonna get through this..youâre strong I believe in you...Ashley whispered in my ears..
Tears rolled down my eyes...
âThank you..I whispered in her ears
âNow LETS PARTY!!!!!!!...Ashley screamed as she turned on the music...
I watched Ashley Becky and Daniel danced..It felt good to be with them..a moment with them was never boring ..I was still saddened..Ashley seemed to had noticed it...She immediately turned down the music..
âPhoebe..are you still worried ...guys sheâs still worried...Ashley said as she walked towards me..
âPerhaps she will feel better if we have a toast...Leah said
I chuckled..
âOMG ...she chuckled..She hasnât smiled in hours ...letâs have a toast...Becky said as she brought cups and a red wine...
We all poured the wine in our glass up and decided to have a toast
âOn three...Luke sucks...Ashley said
âWhy do we have to use that as a toast ..,I said
âCause he his an asshole...Leah said trying to cheer me up..
âAlright fine...I said
We all had the toast and drank our wine...
âI never liked that guy ...Daniel said
âYeah...I never got to know why you hated Luke..I said
âThatâs because I felt he was gay...he said laughing
We all burst into laughter:.
âAre you serious??...i said laughing
âOf course ...and besides which straight guy answers to Luke..the names kinda gayish...he said laughing
We all laughed
âOh shoot..itâs already 7:30...Ashley said as she rushed to go out
âWhatâs wrong..going anywhere??.,.Becky asked
âNah..but my boyfriend is coming over tonight...
âHnmm..the hot handsome Damon..Becky teased her..
âYes ...Ashley said smiling
âWait Ashley you have a boyfriend....Daniel said
âOf course..recently actually..
âInteresting..I hope I like this Damon of a guy ..his name seems ..you know???..Daniel said laughing
We all laughed
âWhat do you have with gay people...just let them be..Becky said laughing
âIâll be back in a few min..Damon just texted he his outside..I gotta go bring him up here..Ashley said as she walked out
âIâll go wash the cups in the kitchen ..I said as I packed the cups to the kitchen..
âLetâs me help...feeling kinda bored..Leah said..
âOh itâs fine..donât wanna bother you...
âAlright then ..Leah said as she left the kitchen..
I didnât really excuse myself to get the dishes done..I wanted to be alone to cry my eyes out one last time...
I was soon interrupted when Ashley I heard Ashley voice...
âEveryone meet Damon..
Becky immediately rushed to the kitchen to meet me..
âAre you crying...she said staring at me...
âOf course not..it must have been the wine..
âWell Anyways..you need to come see Damon..Ashley really caught a big one...he his so handsome..
âAre you for real..
âYes ..leave the dishes and letâs go ..
I left the kitchen with Becky to go see Ashley new handsome man...And to my greatest surprise it was tissue guy..the mysterious handsome generous guy I met at the bustop..
âAnd thatâs Phoebe..Ashley said as she introduced me to Damon..
âHello Phoebe..Damon said as he waved at me smiling...
âTissue guy??...i said under my breath
Tissue guy was Ashley boyfriend!!!!!...i kept in staring at him..perhaps did he know I was Ashleyâs friend??..
