FORBIDDEN DESIRES

EVA'S POV

“I am sorry Eva but it is just not working and I think it’s best we end this relationship…I wish you all the best and I pray you meet someone who is as amazing as I was.”

I read the text message over and over again as I burst into laughter.

“You pray I meet someone as amazing as you??? The nerve of this fucker!!” I said as I continued laughing.

“What's the matter sister??? Why are you laughing??” my younger sister Rachel asked as she walked into the room.

“Take a look at this.” I said as I showed her the text message I got from my boyfriend or ex boyfriend at the moment.

“Again??” she asked with a worried look on her face.

“You are sounding like this is bad.”

“This is actually bad Eva…this one broke up with you through a text message!! Are you sure you aren’t doing something wrong in your relationships??”

“What do you mean by that Rachel??? It’s not my fault that these bastards can’t see the amazing person they had as their girlfriends.” I said, rolling my eyes.

“But this is the fifth guy who has broken up with you in the space of three months.”

Well, Rachel may be right but I wasn't the problem and besides I am not one to force someone to stay in a relationship when they don't want to.

“I don’t need you to keep tabs on my relationships Rachel…I am not a child.”

“Exactly sister, you aren’t a child and neither am I…very soon, mom is going to start asking questions.”

“Asking questions about what??” I asked.

“About our men…when we are going to bring a man home and when we are getting married.”

Here we go again, the constant reminder that age wasn't on my side anymore and that I needed to bring home a man.

Sometimes I really don't know the difference between my sister and my Mother because they have the exact same characteristics especially when it came to taunting me about marriage.

“Marriage is a different ballgame Rachel....besides, I am not going to force a man to come marry me.” I said.

“Well I want to get married on time…if you don’t, well sucks for you.” she said as she walked out of the room.

My sister Rachel who I was older than with just 2 years could be a pain in the ass most times.

She was always the one to remind me that I wasn’t getting any younger and for some reasons, she was my mom’s favorite.

When it came to relationships, I was the jinxed one and she was always the lucky one because even when she breaks up with her boyfriends, they go as far as coming to the house to plead for her to take them back.

One time, one of them bought my mom a car just to plead with her to speak and beg my sister on his behalf.

After going through the break up text message I was sent for the last time, I decided to do something shameful by calling him.

I dialed his number and it rang.

“Hello Eva, I hope my text message reached you well???” he asked.

“Why??” I asked.

“Why what??”

“Why are you breaking up with me??? What did I do wrong??”

“Look Eva, I thought we were over this already??”

“Over what??? You sending me a lousy text message that you are breaking up with me for no reason??”

“No reason?? Really Eva?? You think I broke up with you for no reason??”

“Then why did you break up with me??”

“Your standards are so high up your ass ever and even your standards have more ass than you ever will…your condescending behavior isn’t going to take you far and the truth is that time isn’t really on your side anymore…you look for every fault in me but the actual truth is that you are far from being perfect yourself but you don’t see that because your Ego has blinded you….look, I wish you all the very best and please don’t call me again.” he said as he hung up the call.

I hung my mouth so wide open that flies threatened to fall in.

“Did he just say all of that to me??” I asked myself.

I dialed his number again but it wasn’t going through which could only mean that he blocked me.

“He fucking blocked me!!!” I said as I laughed like a maniac.

I couldn’t believe that after insulting me, he had the nerves to block me.

There was no way I was going to just sit back and watch him do that to me without doing anything about it.

I got up from the bed, freshened up, wore my clothes and made another stupid decision of going to his house to tell him every piece of my mind.

“Eva, where are you going and that too in a hurry??” my mother asked.

“Somewhere mom.” I said.

“I hope the place you are going to will put a ring on your finger??”

“Mom!!???”

“What??? Do you think you are getting any younger??”

“I have no time for this mom.”

“Well you better do because very soon I will be shipping you off my house.”

I wasn’t in the mood to respond to her taunts and so I just walked out of the house.

After ordering an uber, it took about an hour to get to his location due to the distance of his house.

I paid the uber his money as he drove off and I looked around the house before pressing the doorbell.

At first there was no response and when I pressed the doorbell again, I heard footsteps walking towards the door.

As soon as the door sprang open, I saw a blonde haired lady standing with just a towel around her chest.

“Hi, who are you and what are you here for??”
