Stephanie's POV
I felt really bad when Nelson said we can never be friends, I don't know why I felt that way but I only wanted to keep him away from Olivia and this was the only plan I could come up with.
I told him everything even though it was a lie; I told him how I was abandoned by my real parents and I've been living in lies all these years. I made sure I took off the glasses before I told him anything and by the time I was done my face was soaked with tears, no one would ever believe I was lying.
I looked at his face through the corner of my eyes and I saw his face soften, I'll definitely use this to my advantage.
I rested my head on his shoulder and continued with my fake tears, I knew he won't push me away because he pities me and feels my pain.
I wish there was a way I could take a picture of us and send it to Olivia so that she'll know Nelson is mine and mine alone but it seems luck was on my side because almost immediately I saw Olivia around the place we were sitting.
I have to think of something before she finds us because I know she'll definitely see us soon. Yes, I've gotten the perfect plan.
I raised my head to look at Nelson with tear filled eyes
"Nelson please can you do me a favor", I asked weakly
"What's that?"
"Please let me kiss you one last time, I promise not to disturb you again please", he just stared at me like I was speaking a different language entirely
"I'm really sorry Stephanie but I can't do what you're asking me to do. I have a girlfriend so kissing you would mean I'm cheating on her and I don't want that to happen"
"Nelson just this once please for the love we shared in the past. I'm in a lot of pain right now and I need someone to kiss the pain away and tell me everything will be fine, please"
"Fine then, just this once" I glanced at Olivia and saw her walking towards us already so I quickly pulled him into a deep kiss and I saw her run away from the corner of my eyes.
Olivia's POV
I and Nelson are supposed to have lunch together but he's nowhere to be found so I decided to check on him in his class but I still didn't see him there. Where could he be?
I started searching for him and after a while I found him but he wasn't alone, he was with Stephanie.
We were supposed to have lunch together but he decided to be with Stephanie instead, I won't jump into conclusion yet. I was about walking up to them but I saw something that shattered my heart completely
Right before me was Nelson and Stephanie kissing each other like long lost lovers, so he doesn't even love me at all. I'm going to be strong, I won't let it get to me but who am I kidding?
I'm so heartbroken right now, I just went to a quiet place and cried my eyes out throughout lunch time.
After we finished lecture, I started heading home without saying anything to Nelson but he caught up with me in no time.
"Hey! What's wrong? Why didn't you wait for me as usual?", he asked playfully that I was even beginning to doubt if he was the one kissing Stephanie few hours ago but of course he did because I saw him with my own two eyes.
I didn't answer him, instead I just continued walking like he wasn't talking to me.
He just sighed and kept quiet until we got to his car, he expected me to get in with him but I just walked away with sparing him a glance and that was when he ran up to me.
"Olivia why are you behaving this way, is something wrong?"
"Everything is wrong Nelson, you should never have toyed with my heart. I was blinded by the fake love you claim to have for me that I never saw this coming.
Why would you ever want to date an average girl like me of all girls in the world? But that doesn't matter, you should have just left me alone instead of playing with my feelings", I concluded with tears dropping from my eyes like rainfall
Nelson's POV
I don't understand a single thing Olivia is saying because I love her more than anything in this world.
My feelings for her are genuine and I'm sure she knows that so why is she saying all these?
"Olivia please let's talk in my car so we don't create a scene here"
"No, we have nothing to talk about"
"Olivia please ????"
"Fine then"
"So will you explain what you said few minutes ago because I don't seem to understand you" I said to her after we got in the car
"Really? It's not like I was expecting you to admit it but what exactly don't you understand huh?
It's obvious you love Stephanie so why don't you go to her and stop toying with my heart? What did I ever do to you to deserve this?, she said releasing more tears
"What are you even saying? You're the one I love or do you think I like Stephanie because she wears short dresses?
I don't love her and we aren't even friends so just stop it please. Besides why do you think I love her?", I asked totally helpless because I can't seem to comprehend what she's saying
"So you're still lying to me? Okay fine. Did you or did you not kiss Stephanie today?, she asked while I just stared at her in shock
"Answer me!!"
"How did you know?"
"That's not the answer to the question I asked but it's okay I've gotten the answer I need already"
"It's not what you think, I I I........ I can explain"
"Keep your explanations to yourself please", she said and wanted to leave the car but I went down on my knees
"Olivia please just hear me out"
"Okay, I'm listening"
I told her everything that happened and she just stared at me without emotions
"Olivia I swear that's what happened"
"It still doesn't make any difference. Why did you kiss her when you knew you had a girlfriend or are you tired of me already because I know nothing about relationships?
"No Olivia you know that's not true. Please just forgive me this once and I promise it won't happen again please"
"You promise?", she asked to be sure
"I swear on my life"
"You don't have to say that because I trust you. Just don't break my heart ever again"
"So are we good now?
"Sure" and I pulled her into a hug
I'm sure Stephanie purposely kissed me and I'll definitely make her pay.
