Richard's POV:
" come on. Let's start being the lovely couple from now itself. Think about it It's a good deal. If I show you that I am indeed a lovable person and make you fall for me, then broke your heart. If you show me that you're not this boring person I see everyday and make me fall for you, I am out of your life and you can the apartment for yourself and live with your girlfriend. It's a great deal , see." She tried to convince me .
" Why should I agree with you?" I asked laughing as she thinks it's a great deal. " Oh come on, man . You said that I'd did these things and when I do offer you to know me better, you're hesitating. Why? You don't like me as you said. I will be honest with you in the relationship and open up to you" she answered instantly. " My girlfriend is coming next month." I said while looking away. " It will be even more fun. We will hide it and have fun." " No, I am not having sex with you." I replied almost immediately . " In a week time, you will be begging me to have sex. If not, I can find someone to have fun ." She said without any problem. " If you are to be in a relationship with me, you can't go around and sleep with others " I said calmly . " What you are saying is that you won't have sex with me and I can't fick anyone else. How does it make sense?" She asked confusingly. " You're not supposed to in a relationship . Also it's making love not fucking" I emphasised love. " Oh gosh, how can I not see it. You are old fashioned guy. Seriously Richard ! In a relationship you need to make love and also fuck to keeps it interesting and alive. It will be boring if you only make love. You're so naive." she said while driving the car. " It's not even a day, and I am already regretting being in a relationship." She said while pretending to be upset. I find her expression as cute. I smiled at her. " Besides being with me , will be great for you. Everybody wants to know who I am hanging out with ? My plus one. You wants to be a singer, right? I can help you with my connections." She sure has her way with her words. "So what you're saying is you won't help me even if you have connections until I not agree to be your boyfriend " I asked her . " No. I told Ben a week ago itself to inform you but he told me to do it myself. Everytime I came to tell you, we end up arguing" " Ok. I get it. " " In order to be in a relationship, we need to trust and talk about everything." I stated . She got tensed hearing that but replied" it depends.""No depends. If we're gonna do this, you're gonna have to be honest about everything," I said looking at her, she tensed, and suddenly she didn't look so confident.
"Yes, but there are some things I do not wish to share. Some things I am not ready to share, so be patient." She said, and I felt my heart sink at her voice.
"Well you're supposed to trust me, you have to."
"But—"
"No buts. First question, have you ever been in a relationship?"
"Uh, easy start," She chuckled with a devilish smirk, letting out a relieved sigh, I didn't realised how nervous she was until I asked the question. "Well, as a matter of fact, yes, I had. His name was Daniel . Beautiful big brown eyes, he had the longest and prettiest eyelashes.
"We joined kindergarten on the same day that's how my parents and his parents meet, at the school. Ever since we met, Daniel and I were always together, always. We got married in school by a girl who had laces. Our relationship ended when my parents decide to move here. As a goodbye present, he gave me a teddy bear which I still have in my room. So my longest relationship lasted eight years. We lost contact over the years, you know... Growing up and such. His parents moved to England for some reason, and we connected again in Social Networking sites. I sometimes like his I*******m pictures."
"Awww, you were a cutie ; what happened to you?" I laughed, feeling my chest warm up at her story.
"See, the thing is I grew up, and now people use the word hot instead of cute." She smirked at me, and I rolled my eyes. She just had to ruin it with her words.. "So I will appreciate it if you acknowledge the fact that you think I'm hot."
"You just had to ruin it, didn't you?" I tried not to laugh, and she smiled looking straight ahead at the road, she was still driving around. You "So, another question, do you want kids?"
"Really, Richard, that's the question?" She tried to pretend to laugh, but I saw the way she tensed. Did she have a secret child nobody knew about? I wouldn't be surprised... She sighed as she looked at me for a second with an uneasy expression. I could tell she was trying to decide whether to tell me or not. She then looked back at the road and began to talk. "Yes, I wanted ten kids, but along the way, I've reduced the number to four."
"How the hell are you going to keep 4 kids in line? Your house will be chaotic." I laughed whole heartedly. This is not what I expected from her. She did not look like a girl who liked babies or kids at all.
"Hey now, our kids. Remember, we're couple and in relationship, so right now ,for the time being, you're in my future. So it will be our children, our house, our chaotic happy place." I blushed at her words; I looked away so that she wouldn't see the effect her words had on me. She sure did know how to use her words.
"So let me get this right, your longest relationship was when you were six years old, that's not even a relationship, but I'm still just gonna let it slide... And yet you want a happy family and have a bunch of midgets running around. How are you going to do this if you don't find a guy and commit to him?
"Aren't you paying attention, love?" My heart skipped a beat at this, and I felt myself stupid for it as this was a game, just a game. "I said I wanted, past sentence. Pay attention silly head." She looked a bit uncomfortable.
"Why wanted? Don't you want that anymore?" I asked a bit sad and disappointed.
"I do want it; I'd like that very much yet I'm not going to be able to because I can't have children."
"What do you mean—"
"I'm having some issues with my uterus. It's weak. I am taking medication."
"Oh, Jennifer—"
"It is okay. I am over it. You know, girls my age don't really think about it much, kids or a future. And yet, that's all I ever did. I used to imagine what my kids would look like if they will lookslike me or my mum or my dad or whoever I marry and have kids with. But I don't know. I guess I've come to realise that I don't have a say in some things, you just have to deal with it."
I wanted to say something but what can I say ? Let's just say that the five minutes we've been 'getting to know' each other, I've found out things about her that I would have never even guessed.
"What about your parents; what did they do?"
Jennifer sighed and tapped the wheel with her fingers. She was nervous. "My dad and my mum weren't around much. They were always working, so it was pretty much Kayden and me. When they found out, they made me get the same test over and over again. Results are the same. By that time, I was fine with it. Kay helped me a lot."
"Kayden sounds like he was a good person, "
"He was. He was amazing, but he also had a lot going through." Her voice was not louder than a whisper, but her pain was there to hear. "Like any other person, he had.. thing too."
I couldn't possibly imagine what could have gone wrong with him. What could have gone wrong with him that ended up messing up Jennifer too?
"What was wrong with him?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"I'm not ready to talk about that and our talk is stopped until next time because we're here." She said as she parked her car. I felt a hint of disappointment; I didn't want this car ride to end, I wanted to keep talking to her, and get to know her better. I am so accepting this deal. Oh, if I wasn't sure before I am 100% convinced now.
***Hannah's POV*** ( for all those who wonder what happened with Hannah)I thought after moving out with Richard , everything will be fine. Me and him will have happily everafter. But no, though Richard left Jennifer , he always thought of her. I hate that bitch. She stole my Richie . Two years I waited for Richard to come along. But he didn't. It felt like we are complete strangers. I thought of asking him to marry me so that we get to stay together. My love is enough for two of us to survive. Richie being emotional fool , will agree because of guilt.Before I try to execute my plan , my past caught up with me. Devon Ferrer, Father of some boy who took to drugs because of me . I don't even remember him as there are many boys .Devon Ferrer is running a criminal Mafia in Spain. His gang members caught me and took me to face him.I thought he's going to kill me . But no , he had other ideas. He hit me where it hurts the most. He showed me all the evidences he has of me selling drugs a
ain! He's leaving1126 words***Jennifer's POV***I'm freaking out. I knew he was going to leave, I knew it. But what I didn't know was what I'd do once it actually happened. I'm again left with the uncertainty of not knowing whats going to happen with me. I thought we could work it out, we're 25 years old, if it didn't work out then because we were too immature or whatever, it should work now, shouldn't it? But how was it supposed to work when once again, Richard doesn't seem like he's willing to do the chasing for once. I chased after him, I was made out to be a fool and I was cheated on, I was played, I was lied to and I still begged him not to break up with me. This time I wasn't going to beg him, he was leaving, then let him leave. I will not be a fool again.I sat on my couch with a bottle of white vodka from Moscow, I sat with an empty glass on my hand and a half broken heart. I say half broken because I was already prepared for this, I knew it was going to happen, yes it fuck
***Third person's POV***"I'm seriously about to punch you." Cindy said as she tried to hurry her pace, Nick and Sasha were late."Cindy, I almost broke my toe, it hurts walking." Sasha said as an excuse, Cindy rolled her eyes turning on the corner of the hallway."Excuses, Alexander, you two are walking me down the aisle , I have no one else but you two." She said trying to push away the hurt she felt thinking back to when she called her father last night, asking him to reconsider, he called her a faggot and said that her wedding was a gathering for clowns.Cindy cried all night long. She had tried so hard not to let her parents hurt her but it was so hard. There was one more relative Cindy had but she knew for a fact he wouldn't care, Cindy's brother, Tommy. She had always feared and loved her brother, she hated him too but he was her brother. She wanted him here. She had sent him an invitation but he never answered back saying whether if he was coming or not.Cindy remembers Tommy,
Richard's POV:After our long talk, we ended on Jennifer's old bed in her room. We are just cuddling and having fun at eachother.Jennifer laughed and turned on her side to look at me, her green eyes meeting my brown ones and I had to remind myself that I shouldn't feel the sudden rush that went from my chest to my lower parts, I shouldn't even be thinking about being horny at times like this, but this is Jennifer, I have always been attracted to Jennifer. Even if we fail to love each other I know for a fact physical attraction will always be there."I missed you too much to let awkwardness ruin this." She smiled at me lifting her hand to caress my cheek with a smile on her lips, I smile back at her feeling myself getting lost in her eyes."How's uni going for you?" I asked herShe took a deep breath in moving her hand away, "Tiring. It's very tiring, I'm in law school now, got only two more years and I'm done. But on top of that my mum wanted my dad to retire so he did, kind of. Anyw
Jennifer's POVIf I had known that I am going to be face to face with Richard so fucking soon, I would have at least prepared myself for it.As soon as Cindy said his name, I wanted to both run away and towards her. It has been so long, too long since I last saw him , his chubby cheeks, his beautiful brown eyes that always had a light in them.But what I saw when I came face to face with Richard was different. It was like a new version of the man I loved and still love. It was him but different.The Richard in front of me had grown and oh did he got hotter. His face was no longer chubby, his cheekbones were high and well marked, he has this rockstar vibe around him. But that's just how his appearance has change, I had seen him in magazines and even though I tried really hard not to watch them, in his music videos. I knew he had changed but seeing him here, right in front of me? That's something else.But anyway, the change I'm talking about is the one I see in his eyes, his eyes no l
Richard's P.O.VFlashes and more flashes, all the fucking time. I was so tired from the flight, I just wanted to go home and sleep. But then again, do I have a home? The only place I could call a home was my Nana's place but she passed away two years ago and shortly after, my father passed too. I can't explain how I feel about it, I didn't even get to say goodbye or that I loved him or that I was sorry. I didn't even get to tell him that I wasn't angry anymore, my father passed away thinking that I hated him. My mother didn't even want me to go to my dad's funeral, something about the press and the paparazzi. we managed to keep it off the public eye, nobody found out and as far as people knew, I was in Canada that week. After my father's private funeral, my mother didn't look at me, she didn't say a word, she left in tears by my brother's arm. I guess I deserve it. I left after that, the first flight out of that town, out of that city and out of that state. I couldn't stand being so f
