FIFTY FOUR
Diane stared at Jayden, shocked to the bones by his confession. She dropped her hands carelessly to her side and her phone dropped to the ground with a loud clatter. She stared blankly at him, noting the desperation in his eyes. She was unable to talk. Each time she opened her mouth to form words, her mouth would go dry and she would shut it close.
“I know this comes as a shock,” Jayden said, panting, “but I just think I should let you know that I love you. I really really love you.”
By the time Diane could finally compose herself, the only word she could get out was, “Wow.” Then, she closed her mouth and continued staring at him.
“Diane? Please say something,” he begged, desperation laced his tone.
Unable to form coherent words or bear the tension, Diane turned on her heels and all but ran out of the living room into her room.

Diane sat close to the window in the cafe, a cup of coffee in front of her. Her arms were folded across her on the table and she tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table. All she could think of was Jayden’s confession last night. She couldn’t believe it? How did she not see it? He was in love with her! How could she not know? Damn it. And all these while she had been pushing him to her sister. Shit.After his confession last night, she left him in the living room and bolted to her room. She needed to think and having Jayden in the same house as her did nothing to help matters.All along, all she could think of was how broken Jayden had looked when he confessed and when he noticed her leaving. He had been nice to her and is this how she was going to repay him? By turning him down? But she knew she couldn’t accept him especially because she had no feelings whatsoever for him. So what could she do?Her phone beeped with a message and when she
Unrequited Love FIFTY SIX
Nicholas brought the car to a stop in the garage of the restaurant. He stared at it. It looked like a really small restaurant – not a place he would ever bring a date to. But he wasn’t bringing a date; he was bringing his sister, Jenny and her best friend Ashley. Actually, he planned on taking only Jenny but Jenny had insisted that Ashley came with them. Now, three of them were here. Ashley still refused to grasp the fact that this wasn’t a date or that he didn’t even want her here. She kept bouncing around in excitement and blabbing about how this was just a stepping stone for her relationship with him. Silly, delusional girl.Jenny stared out through the window. “Nicholas, what in the world are we doing here?” She asked in an incredulous tone.“Well, I heard that they make very good pasta, so I thought we would come here to try it out?” He replies, forcing a proper amount of cheerfulness into his tone.“Che
Unrequited Love FIFTY SEVEN
Jayden pushed the door to his house open and he walks in with Diane right on his heels. As soon as he stepped inside the room, he whirled around, grabbed Diane by her waist and slammed his lips across hers.Diane, resisting the urge to cringe backwards, reluctantly raised her hands and wrapped it around his neck. She forced her lips to move in sync with his. As he kissed her, parting her lips with his tongue, all she heard was her own even breathing and Jayden's pants. He seemed to be more into the kiss than she was – actually, he was more info the kiss than she was, grabbing her waist, skimming his hands across her bare it. Even as his hands slid up from her waist to her neck, angling her head to deepen the kiss, all Diane could think of was Nicholas’ tearful face as he pleaded for her to come back to him.Did she do the right thing? Did it make sense to be dating Jayden, someone she obviously considered as nothing more than a friend? No of course not. Yet

Nicholas drove the car to into the compound, parked it properly then climbed out of it, not waiting for Ashley or Jenny. He slammed the door close and headed for the house blinded by fury and pain. Behind him, he could hear Jenny calling out to him but he didn’t reply. He simply stormed inside and walked straight up the stairs but instead of going into his room, he headed for Malvika's room instead. He waits, forced himself to take in deep breaths to calm himself then knocked on the door.The door was immediately thrown open by Malvika. She looked stunned to see Nicholas standing by her door. “Oh,” she said. “Oh….hi….hi. You are…..Come in?” she said.“Thanks,” he replied, briskly brushing himself in while Malvika closed the door behind her.“Um….sit?” she said, gesturing to the edge of the bed and he sat down. “Is there something you wanted? Or….or something you wanted
Unrequited Love FIFTY NINE
Half past five in the morning and Diane was awake, seated on her bed with her laptop on as she scouted the internet for houses available for rentals. She rubbed her forehead, sighing tiredly, as she strained her eyes to read the words on the computer. It was almost Dawn and Jayden wasn’t back from wherever he went to. It felt like he had simply disappeared from the world because she had no idea where he went. She even tried calling his phone but it went straight to voicemail and after several trials, she simply gave up.Thinking about it, she felt bad of course. She had led him on and then broke his heart. Why couldn’t just be in love with him? Everything would be so simple. He would love her, care for her and all she had to do was date him and not compare him to Nicholas but even that in itself was almost impossible. She could not not compare him to Nicholas and she couldn’t stop thinking about Nicholas.Diane sighed again, burying her head in her ha

Diane stood in the middle of her new house, a feeling of melancholy enveloping her. She stared at the three seat sofas, the arm chairs, the couches and the center table in the living room. Sighing heavily, she moved to one of the couches and slumped into it. She had just paid for the house. After her discussion with Jayden in the morning, it had become more important than before for her to find a new house and she was so grateful that she did. But she just couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness that came with the house. She was the only one in it and it bothered her as she had been so used to living with other people. Reaching out to pick her phone on the table, she decided to giver her sisters a call. She unlocked her phone, scrolled through her contact list, clicked on Malvika's name and dialed the number. After ringing thrice, Malvika picked up. "Hey, Diane, what's up?""I'm fine. How are you, Malvi?""I'm good. It's nice to hear from you. What of Jayden?"Diane glanced around.

Diane threw open the cabinet in anger, bringing out a frying pan. She slammed it hard on the counter, then turned to pick up the bottle of oil. Turning around, she saw her sister, Malvika standing by the door. "Malvika, you can go back to the living room.""I think you need some help. What do you want to cook?""I was simply going to fry a couple of chips," Diane replied with a shrug as she picked up a bag of chips from the counter. She walked the gas cooker, turned it on and placed the pan on it. "Why are you here?" She asked her sister, as she turned the cap of the oil's bottle and poured into the pan. "Like I said, you need help," Malvika replied as she snatched the bottle from Diane's hand. She covered it and grabbed the bag of chips before Diane could reach out for it. "Let me help you," she said, tearing open the bag, picking out a handful of the chips and dropping it directly into the pan of hot oil. "So," she said. "Are you still divorcing Nicholas?""Malvika, if it wasn't cl

Malvika brought the car to a stop beside the house and waited for her sister, Natasha, to climb out of the car. After climbing out, Natasha closed the door and poked her head through the window. "Malvi, aren't you coming in?""Of course. But not now. I need to go and see someone."Natasha gave her a knowing look. "And does that someone happen to be Jayden?" She asked, while Malvika avoided her glancing, not replying her. Natasha sighed. "Malvika, I thought you've given up on whatever obsession it is you have for Jayden."Malvika's eyes flashes with anger as she whirled her head around to glare at her sister. "It's not an obsession, Natasha. I love him and I don't think you understand what that means. Now, if you would excuse me." She rolled the window up, forcing Natasha to yank her head backwards. Then, she started the car and drove out of the compound. As Natasha watched her leave, she thought, 'I understand. More than you can ever imagine."----------------------------------------
