Eric and Alissa were sitting face to face. The restaurant was empty. The sky was dark. The only audible sound was the tick-tock of the clock. Alissa was waiting patiently for what Eric has to say. He called her and asked her to come to meet him as he has something very important to tell her. But it's been a complete 45 minutes and all he is doing is staring at the table and tapping his foot on the floor.
"I have to tell you something" Eric finally said.
"Eric go ahead. I will listen to you" Alissa promised.
"It is not working out between us. You understand it right? I am going to get married. So please understand" He declared.
And everything froze for a moment. Alissa looked at him dead in the eyes. He slowly put his hand on the table and forwarded it towards Alissa. Alissa looked down and saw the wedding card. Alissa was just trying to insert all this in her head. She scratched her hand believing it is a
AlissaI saw him flipping pancakes from the living room. He looked like a Greek god. But I really wanted to go to him and punch him on his face hard. I looked around and saw that this house was different not the one in which I was before. He brought pancakes neatly on two plates. He kept the plate in front of me and the other one on the opposite of me. He sat there and I quickly picked up the knife and the fork and started to eat. I was starving. He looked at me like he wanted to say something. I could see through his eyes. I noticed his face and it was looking dull. He had black patches under his eyes and he was looking so tired. His eyes which used to remain so shiny lost their shine."Is this your second home?" I asked finally breaking the awkward silence."Yeah. I come here sometimes" he said looking down at his plate while I nodded.I noticed the interior and it was much better than the other house. I
EricI woke up and saw that Alissa had already left. There was a note on the table "Sorry. But I had to leave. Didn't wanted to disturb you"I smiled to myself. I got up from bed and went to my other home. More like a hell though. I sat in my car and it was pretty dark outside. I started my ignition and started to drive but as I drove further I saw that the route which I usually take is being constructed due to which I took another route but it was longer than the other. I haven't come from here since I don't know how long. I drove a little slow scared that I might hit something or someone with my car. I saw that there was a car parked at the side of the road. It was around 10:30 p.m. and the car was looking familiar. I looked at the car and remembered that it was of Cheryl. But why will she come here at this time?I tried to look inside the car but I was standing a little far from the car. I thought to stay here for a while. Time passed slowly and soon Ch
EricTomorrow is my wedding and today my family is throwing an engagement party I mean have you gone insane a day before the wedding. I wish I could just bang a coconut on their heads. But, hopefully, I will be able to accomplish my task. Fingers crossed. People who were invited to this party belonged to rich families and had a very nice business. My few relatives were also there. Some were looking at me like I am doing something beyond their imagination. Some were getting emotional. Soon Cheryl appeared on the stairs wearing a long red gown which was revealing her leg up till her thigh.Everyone cheered and started clapping. She smiled and greeted everyone with the best facial expressions she could give. Suddenly, I saw a person entering the party wearing a black hat and black suit and pants. He was looking a little familiar to me. Cheryl went towards him and hugged him tightly. She held his hand and brought him in front of the crowd."Hello everyon
EricI looked at them. Their heads were bowed down in shame. But I will not forgive them for what they did. I'll tear them out. How could they even think of doing something like this? I am gonna sue them. Cheryl was looking at me dead in the eyes. Emma and Robbin were trying their best to keep their heads low and avoid any kind of eye contact. I was so angry. Just because of all this I was not able to live that fairytale life with Alissa which I wanted to. I was not able to give her as much love as she deserved. She deserves this whole world and all I did was just push her away.I walked towards Robin and punched on the side of his face until two hands gripped me by my arms. I yanked it away and started throwing punches at him. I was pulled back by Ethan and Cassandra. Robin's jaw was bruised and his nose was bleeding. Such a satisfaction. I looked at dad and it felt like he was still in shock that his best friend cheated on him, lied to him. He was looking so un
Eric "How's this one?" I asked for the millionth time."No Eric. That's not a very good choice" Cassandra said.We've been deciding on a beautiful gown for Alissa but Cassandra is denying every dress which I pick for her. I don't have very good taste when it comes to picking dresses for girls. I just feel like she looks good in everything. Ethan was just sitting on the couch and was supervising us. This kinda bugs me."Dude, can you bother to move your butt and help us?" I asked him."You are not the CEO here. And she's your girlfriend you should know what kind of clothes she likes" he said in a stern voice.I felt weird when he referred to Alissa as my girlfriend."Eric here. Look" Cassandra said and I thought where did that dress come from.It was not there when I was looking for a beautiful dress.
Alissa When I got up from sleep, I saw a message from Eric in which it was written that today is a day off of the companyProbably cause he got married!!!That shit hits hard. I swear to god. I was still not able to sink that shit inside of me. I am just thinking that this phase has to pass. Like, even if I have to cry every single night, I have to move on. Because I am going to see his face every single day and I have to accept the fact that instead of me it was Cheryl who took vows in that church.I went to cook some food. Jade was still sleeping in her room. I thought not to disturb her. I cooked some bacon and scrambled eggs. It can lighten my mood a bit, I thought. Last night was almost spent crying. I just don't think I will ever be able to move on and I will ever find the true love of my life. I want to forget whatever happened between me and Eric. I know it must
AlissaI walked up those small three stairs. He was looking at me with so much n his eyes. I wanted to ask him so many questions. Like, did he get married? Is Cheryl here? Does he miss me? Does he love me? But I asked none of these. I wanted to sink that silence inside of me. I wanted to hug him. Dance with him. Kiss him. Runaway with him. But all I did was hold his hand in mine and taking in the warmth of his hand. He intertwined his finger with mine and put his other hand on my back and a piece of soft music started to play from behind.I was just looking into his eyes. He brought his face near mine and I could feel his breath hitting my neck. I was staring at his soft lips wanting to kiss them and nothing else. But, I think he can read my mind cause he did it. He captured my lips with his. The kiss was soft yet passionate. He slowly pulled back and I stared at him with love, amazement and passion. The song shortly after came to an end.
6 months later~It's been six months since Eric has proposed to me. I asked him to give this whole thing a little time and he totally understood. He didn't even ask me once if I was ready yet. He said he can wait forever for that moment. Jade was so happy to know that I was engaged to Eric and Eleanor just fainted right there. Overdramatic.I was right now sitting in Eric's penthouse. He still doesn't talk to his parents. Although, he does visit them sometimes. But only if either Ethan or Cassandra are with him. I tried talking to him about this but he usually cut me off or change the topic. At the end of the day, they are his parents and he can't stay angry at them forever. He has to look at them like normal people who make mistakes.I saw him coming down the stairs and sitting beside me on the couch. He held my hand and kissed me on my lips."Eric" I said."Hmm""I think that I am ready for the marriage" I said and
