Octavius

Procel's POV

Smiled as I unlocked my door I thought of the amazing night I'd has so far. I haven't been this happy since Xavier. I frowned at the thought of him. Sighing I began to run a bath. After I collected the thing I needed I slowly sank into the tub. The bathroom smelled of fresh rain and chocolate. I sank lower into the bath as I leaned my head against the side of the tub.

...

"Baby I'm back," I said loudly as I entered Xavier's house. Today was our 1-year anniversary and I had planned to make dinner for him. I frowned when I got no response. I went upstairs and went to his room. I opened the door and what I saw broken me more than the day that I found out my mother was dead. I choked on a sob and I ran back downstairs. I can't believe him, I gave him a year of my life that I can never get back.

 "Baby please, it's not what it looks like. I promise." Xavier said as he followed me down the stairs with a sheet wrapped around his waist. "Then what was it, Xavier? You just happened to fall on top of her naked and just magically started having s*x?" I asked as I angrily wiped tears away from my face. "Please just let me explain." He wrapped his arms around me. Images of different women withering in pleasure flashed through my mind. I can't believe the nerve of him.

 "Get the hell off of me. I want to know one thing. Did you ever love me, Xavier?" I asked as I stepped away from him. He looked away from me and I got my answer. "Xavier baby, come back to bed." A redhead said from the top of the stairs. My heart broke in a million pieces as I stepped away from me towards the stairs. "Fine, go back to your w***e," I said as I slammed the front door. When I got into my car the dam broke. Why does this always happen to me? What have I done wrong? I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I drove home with one thought on my mind, no one was ever going to hurt me again.

... 

I woke up still in the tub with cold water. I slowly got up and got dressed and went to bed. I prayed to the heavens that Octavius was different from Xavier because I can't take another heartbreak.
