2023-02-26 15:35:09"Did you feel like you both were the only people in this world when he was with you?" Zoe asked and she nodded her head shyly, this left Zoe sad but seeing her friend all happy, she had no choice but to be happy with her...
"What does it mean, Zoe?" Arabella questions as she stares back at her friend with eyes full of anticipation... Zoe didn't know if she should tell her or not, but at the end of her long thought, she decided to tell her..." Mama says if you are with someone and you feel like it's only both of you in the world, it means you are in love..." She explains and Arabella frowns, not understanding what she is talking about as she stares at her with a confused expression..." What is love?"Arabella questions, she was clueless about what it meant and the curiosity to know the meaning was way stronger..." Uhm, mama said love is when you always want to be close to someone" Zoe explains and this got Arabella to frown more..." But, I like spending time with you," she said..." Does it mean I love you?" She questions again and this got Zoe stuck, not being able to answer her..." We are friends...I think that's why you feel that way" Zoe explains thoughtfully and little Arabella nods her head..." Does that mean I am in love with...Rowan?!" She exclaims at the realization, staring at Zoe with wide eyes and Zoe just nods her head...she is so red and happy as she starts jumping up and down while little patches her with no words left..."Hi, what's making you all happy?" Rowan's voice rings from behind causing the excited Arabella to stiff and Zoe to frown hard..."R-Rowan...what are you doing here?" Arabella was unable to believe he was standing right next to her..."to check on you, of course..." he holds onto her hand and flashes her a sweet smile... Arabella was stunned by his action as she stared down at her hand, silently enjoying the warmth of his body... Zoe was way angrier seeing him so close to her but not wanting to cause any more trouble, she stayed quiet. Silently absorbing her sadness..." How is your hand?" He questions checking on her right elbow..." uhh, it's fine...Zoe help me apply some ointment and plaster" she said and he nodded his head..." Why act like you care all of a sudden after hurting her?" He questions mockingly staring at Zoe who was trying so hard to keep her calm..." you know nothing about me, so don't you dare question my love and friendship for Arabella..." Zoe said sternly at him and his mockery face was now frowning, he didn't know she would be this harsh..." Yes, Rowan...Zoe will never hurt me" Arabella defended and little Rowan turned his gaze to her..."Really? then what about yesterday?" He questions and Arabella is speechless, as she stares back at him with mixed emotions...Zoe stays silent, waiting to hear her response. Arabella meets her gaze as they stare at themselves for some time..." she- It was a mistake...but I know she won't do it again...I trust her" her words made Zoe smile, knowing that she trust her so much to still stay by her side after what she did to her was too good to be true and with that, she took it upon herself to always make her happy and never hurt or make her sad..." don't be blind by her facades, she is not what you think," He said feeling angry as he stares at Zoe with a gaze that could kill...Zoe frowns wondering why he keeps on saying bad things about her and always tries to make her look like the bad person before Arabella...No one knows what is going on in his mind and what he was up to, Arabella shakes her head in denial, refusing to accept his words..." No Rowan, Zoe is not like that...she is the nicest person I have ever known" She was clueless about what was going on but what she knew was her best friend has always been truthful and the best person in her life..." Ok then...if you say so. Come let me show you something" he pulls on Arabella making her follow him but after taking three steps, she stops and runs back to her friend who just stood there gazing at them..."come on, Zoe...let's go" she urges pulling on her hand and only then did Zoe move...she thought Arabella will leave without her but seeing her pulling her along makes her more than happy...They walk till when they were finally at Rowan's home, he brought out a package and give it to Arabella..."what's inside?" She questions confusedly..."why not check it out, yourself?" He urges with a big smile. Arabella gazed at Zoe who nodded at her before opening the big box...she was surprised at what was inside, the thing she has always wished to have but never got the opportunity to get..." puppy?" She exclaims not believing her eyes..."Is it mine?" She questions and Rowan nods his head smiling sweetly at her..."Really?" she stares at him this time, wanting him to be sure of his words..." Yes, it's yours" he assured and Arabella excitedly hugged him..."thank you, Rowan...I love puppies" she confesses..." I know" he hugs her back and gazes at Zoe who stares at them with no expression on her face...he smiles mockingly at her and Zoe rolls her eyes, gazing in the other direction..." Wow, it's so cute" Arabella praised touching the puppy..." Where did you get this? and how?" She questions wanting to know how he got it..."I asked dad to get me one...and he did...simple" he explains proudly..."Wow, that's nice..." Rowan is the only child of his parents and whatsoever he asked of them, they always give him..."Isn't it cute, Zoe?" She asked, still playing with the puppy..." Yes, it is...very," Zoe said honestly as she crunched to the ground to touch the puppy…Related chapters

eleven years laterZoe lies on the bed reading a book. the door opens and Arabella walks in with two cups of coffee and hands one to her..."What are you reading?" she questions taking a seat by her bedside..." Nothing important...just a book" Zoe closed the book and placed it by the side, adjusting herself to sit upright..." thought as much..." she said and drank her coffee...Zoe was quiet, she seemed to be thinking about something..."What is disturbing you, Zoe?" her soft voice pulled Zoe back to the present as she stared back at her..."Nothing," Zoe said but Arabella wasn't convinced..." I am no fool to know that something is disturbing you...come on, tell me..." she urges." I am scared, Rabella...what if I don't get chosen for the audition, what if I am not as good as they think?" she asked, opening up to all her fears. Zoe is studying music and there is a contest coming up and so many people and Schools are allowed to participate...she is good at singing but she has this sel

Zoe walks out of the bath with a towel wrapped around her chest as she dries on her soft black hair. Arabella sat on her bed, humming as she writes in a book...She was humming the song "Stay" by Rihanna ever so happily and Zoe who enjoys her melodic sound silently listens to her..."if not for your love for business, I would have dragged you to study music with me" Zoe walked to her bed and climbed on it, they had their separate beds..."Guess there's always an afterlife" She jokes..." you better be ready then, won't be sparing you, not even for a sec" they both laugh at Zoe's words..." Where to?" Arabella, who saw Zoe all dressed up in a pair of blue jeans and a shirt with her hair tied in a messy bun, was confused as to where she was going..."Ms. Patricia asked me to come over for a little discussion..." she puts on her shoes, ready to go..." don't be late, I will be waiting for you" Zoe smiles at her..." sure...see you" She takes her in for a hug before leaving.

Coming back from Ms. Patricia's house, Zoe was happy knowing she will get to spend time with Arabella. She always spent her free time with Rowan, at his place while Zoe, gets to be left behind...And every single time she tries to make her stay, Rowan always comes up with something to change her mind...She knew he was doing it on purpose, it has been like that since childhood, always fighting for her love and attention but no matter how hard she tried, he still won...He's got her love, and now he's trying to get all of her attention to himself and it seems like it is working..." What a greedy bastard" she cursed under her breath feeling irritated at the thought of Rowan...One thing she didn't understand was, why he got to be the one she chooses to love. among all the guys, why him? Why not her? She has been with her since the very beginning but she didn't choose her, she never saw her as anything older than her best friend...it saddens her but knowing she is happy, she had no choice

It's been three days now and Zoe has been avoiding Arabella for reasons unknown to Arabella and it made her sad and worried, to see her best friend not talking to her as she used to..."I don't know what is wrong... I know something is eating her up but I just can't tell what it is exactly" she has been saying quite, hoping she will come around and open things up but it seems like it's just her hopes and nothing more..." Stop stressing yourself over nothing, Zoe is old enough to handle her problems" Rowan's lazy voice rings from behind her. She is in Rowan's apartment, sitting by his bedside..." How can you say such a thing? you know how close I am with Zoe and knowing she is disturbed with no idea what's wrong makes me more frustrated, and you are telling me not to stress myself?... I mean, what's even your issue with Zoe? 'cause I don't understand anymore" She wasn't a fool not to notice the difference in his behavior every time she made mention of Zoe's name..." Nothing...I am j

Arabella walks through the school corridor heading to the hall Zoe always has her rehearsal. Taking the second door on her left, she stood by the door and watched her sing...the lyrics of the song made her eyes teary. For some reason, she could tell that something was going on but she didn't want to tell her... I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth... And I've never opened up... I have never truly loved... Till you put your arms around me and I believe... that it's easier for you to let me go...For those listening to the song, she sang it perfectly, putting all the emotions and playing with her keys but for Arabella, she could tell something was off...The crowd cheered happily. It was the first part of the competition where she had to compete with people in her school. Though she has been chosen to represent her school, Ms. Patricia wants her to be more than prepared so organizing a school competition was necessary...Gazing at the cro

" What is happening Zoe? you are not singing like you used to" Ms. Patricia complained not liking the outcome of her performance..." I am sorry Ms. Patricia...I will try again..." she apologized and started playing on the piano again but was stopped by her..." you don't have to when your mind is in a mess," she tells her..." No...I can do it...it just needed me to try more" she plays on the piano trying to prove her point..." You see, I am doing it," she said with a smile on her face..." I am ok" she continues but Ms. Patricia holds on to her hand, stopping her ..." You can't fool me, child, I will know one when I see one"..." it's good to take a day off sometimes...I know you might be tired..." she said in a decisive tone and walked to her seat. Zoe opens her mouth only to close them again, there is nothing she will tell her that will be able to change her mind..." go rest out your brain for today...tomorrow is another day" she waves her hand at her but Zoe had no intention of

The person she bumps into was no other than Rowan. He turns back in confusion and stares at her leaving...He wonders what might have transpired between them to turn Zoe into a complete mess, it's his first time seeing Zoe cry and somehow, it feels weird...He knocks on the door but there was no response..." Arabella, it's me...Rowan, open up" he said, and only then did she open the door, letting him get in..." What's disturbing you? you don't look alright" he touches her neck feeling her temperature..." you've been crying" he stated the fact and Arabella wipes her face, trying hard not to cry more..." I bump into Zoe, but I don't think she noticed. It was me...what's up with you two?" He was concerned and wanted to know what I'd do with the girls in the hospital if she had to leave Zoe. It was unlike Arabella to do such..." It's nothing big, we just had a little quarrel " she tries to make it not look too obvious..." it can't be that little when your eyes are red and swollen fr

"Tell me what you want me to do to you" he presses on her nipple making her cry out..."Please Rowan touch me...no...no...pleasure me please, suck, press and nipple on my breast, please" she begs. A victorious smile appears on his lips as he stares down at her ..." as easy as it is..." he lowers his head and takes her left breast in his mouth, as he sucks and nipples on. With his right hand, massages her right breast, giving both breasts equal attention, he sucks and bites her breast until she could no longer take the torture, she was needy...very needy down there...in need of his touch...She rubs herself against him, trying t feel him but the jeans she was putting on didn't let her get what she wanted..."take off my jeans please...and touch me, down there" she begs again and the man did what she wants without teasing her...in no time, she was left naked before him, with only her panties preventing him from seeing her full treasure....he pulls on the side of her pants and slides his

"what are you thinking?" Zoe asked, walking out of the bath with a hand towel as she wiped on her hair."Nothing" Arabella denies, running her hands through her hair. She stood up and walked to the cupboard by the side, pulling out the hair dryer."Let me," Zoe offers, takes the hand dryer and starts to blow dry her hair."There is nothing to worry about, everything has been taken care of" Zoe assures.Silent engulfed the room for a few seconds before Arabella demanded, "Did Ms Amanda understand the situation?" She is worried they might be offended by their relationship."Hmmm, she is always understanding," Zoe explains.Arabella nodded but didn't say anything even though she so much wanted to.Zoe could tell from her look that something is eating her up, she spines the chair over making her face her completely."She is understanding as well, but not as forgiven as her aunt. I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure everyone in her shoes would do the same." Zoe starts."I hurt her, Zoe. " Ar

"Why did you lie to her and make her believe she was the one you loved? Why did you do all those things only to let her down at the tail end? Why Zoe? " She yells, demanding an answer." I'm sorry aunt," Zoe said, tears running down her cheeks. She understands all that it means, the feeling of being lied to and she is more than sorry."I honestly thought I could keep her, that we could be something more but then, I realized I am not deserving of her love. " Zoe explains, "It was never my intention to hurt her, I swear, aunt, there has never been a thought in my head other than protecting her and taking care of her" she said with all honesty." Is that so? Why then did you hurt her this much? " Amanda demands furiously."The heart doesn't lie, you can be the judge of that yourself. I can't choose whom to love and neither can I tell my heart whom to beat for. I sincerely apologize for everything, most especially for toiling with your trust and love. I know how important Evie is to you,
MY ARABELLA: Thousand years of loving you Apologies
"I'm sorry for hurting you all these years, for judging you and leaving you when you needed me most" Arabella cries in pity."You did nothing wrong" Zoe tries to coax but Arabella is way too out of the league."No, I'm a bad person. I ignored your love for another, I bluntly hurt your feelings saying there will never be an Us. I caused you pain for years yet you never curse or judge me. I walk away from your life but you always stood by me and never made me feel less of the person I've always been to you" she explains in tears."You were doing just fine without me, so I was until I saw you after years of distance looking so happy with Evie. I didn't know why but I felt jealous, I felt hurt. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I just want everything for me" she cries."I never realized until I saw you two, just then I understood how egoist I am. Seeing you two made me feel things I've never felt before, not even for Rowan or Jack. I couldn't stand you two, that's why I left when you were sin

The truth is always hard to accept, and difficult to come to terms with.Zoe thought she could make herself come to terms with the idea of wanting to move on but it turns out feelings are not just something one can erase.Realizing she can't live without her one true love, she decides to go for it, it's her last chance anyways.If she gets accepted, it'd be a miracle and if she gets rejected, it'll be no surprise though she will be hurt.On the other hand, Arabella lay back on the couch staring at the white ceiling above all lost in thought.Nothing had ever been the same ever since she left Zoe's apartment. She's lost everything, her fiance whom she thought loved her until it turned out the opposite and her best friend whom she has always ignored her love until things start streaming from within bringing weird feelings she's never thought she had.A knock came at the door pulling her off her thoughts, she frowned wondering who it might be.Deciding to see who it is, she carries her t

Evie sits on the table not far from the door as her gaze stays fixed at the door. "You've been sitting there all day, why not take a break?" Amanda questions walking to the table."I don't want to" Evie denies, "she promised to be here today" she adds.Amanda sighs, taking the seat next to her, "what if she's tied up with something important? She can't just rush to you because of a mere promise" she explains.Evie didn't respond, her gaze never left the entrance. Zoe promised to come over and treat her to lunch and it's almost time she hasn't shown up yet." She's gonna make it" Evie grumbles in her stomach, not willing to accept something that might be so important to keep Zoe from fulfilling her promise." So positive "Amanda chuckles." Hmm, she will come," Evie repeats, with an optimistic face.Amanda stares at her for a long time before saying, "Why not try finding out what's keeping her rather than waiting? I'm so done with that face you have on" she grumbles and leaves.Evie

It's been close to a week now and Arabella was still trying to accept herself and her mistakes. Like any other day, she was busy with work at the office while hoping the day runs off in a blink of an eye.But as it turns out, the day was against her wishes and hopes but she didn't let it get to her as she forces herself to work till there is no more strength left.It was around three in the afternoon when she decided to visit Jack, it has been a normal thing for her.She grabs her bag and carries herself out of the company, enters her car and quickly drives away.Her car slows down before a large building, and she steps out and walks in. There wasn't a doubt in her identity as she was quickly led to the elevator leading directly to the fifth floor where Jack's office is.She steps out of the elevator as soon as it stops, walks through the corridor and only stops when she is before his office door.She takes in a deep breath, calming her worried and anxious mind. There is no way she c
MY ARABELLA: Thousand years of loving you Why do I choke on your joy?
Can you let go and see me instead? Can I be the one you see and want to be there with all the time? Can I?" Evie asked in tears, staring at the frozen Zoe."Of course, it's a no. I've known long enough and I wonder why it hurts" She turns and starts walking away."Why me? I can't be all you want" Zoe cries out, staring at Evie's excited back."I've never wanted you to be enough or perfect 'cause I neither am... I just want you to see me, accept me and love me... Is that too much to ask for?" Evie retorts."What if it doesn't work? What if we never get an Us in this?" Zoe wasn't sure of her feelings and desires and she was scared of hurting her.Evie turns around and takes counting strides toward Zoe. "Why not try and see if we are good or not? You never know what awaits us" Zoe had always known Evie to be an optimist but never would she have thought she would willingly throw herself for an experiment they both ain't sure of the end product." But it's ok, I get it... You don't wish t
MY ARABELLA: Thousand years of loving you you never see it, do you?
The entire room was engulfed in total silence, everyone staring, waiting for Zoe to start.Zoe glanced at Arabella before she locked gaze with Evie, the smile on Evie's face was enough to bring a simple and genuine smile to her lips.She turns her attention to the crowd, "hi" she speaks out unsure of what to say. "I-i am honored to be given a chance to sing to y'all, hope you enjoy the song".With that, she walks to where the piano lay, her long slender fingers dancing on the keys immersing the room with the sound of a beautiful melody as she sings.It was the song titled " Falling " by Harry Styles.It's been like forever since Arabella heard her best and childhood friend sing and hearing her now made her realize just how distant they've become.Without realizing it, tears rolled down her cheeks, she stayed glued to the girl on the stage. Her heart aches for unknown reasons and she can swear she never thought she'd feel this hurt.Usually, Zoe always stares at her while singing but i

"more like Zoe" Arabella mutters under her breath, eyes glued to where Zoe stood."I guess your closeness is more than just a friend" Evie blurt without thinking."Excuse me!!" Arabella was taken aback by her questions.Evie clears her throat at the realization of what she might be thinking, "not like that, what I mean is, you guys look more like sisters than besties" she explains."Oh!" Arabella exclaimed with a sigh of relief, "You can say that our years of friendship define our bond." She gave a sweet smile.Evie returns the smile, "Right"."Here is your drink" Zoe spoke out, handing Evie a soft cocktail drink. "Simple non-alcoholic drink for a softy" she teased.Evie couldn't hold her blush, "I'm not that soft you know, " she complains."Says a baby" Zoe chuckles and sips down her drink.Arabella on the other hand silently watched them talk with an expression that couldn't be described."I'm not a baby!" Evie pouts and hits lightly on Zoe's arms feeling embarrassed."Sure?" Zoe ra
