Jennifer's POV:
" yes, mom" I answered the phone tiredly while making a sandwich for me .
" Kevin wants to meet you . We went to meet Kayden . Kevin miss you and is sad as you didn't visit Kayden once ." She said. " Stop saying that. He is not there." I almost screamed at her but composed myself as I heard toilet flush in one of the room. she didn't say anything for a while . " Where should I drop Kevin ? In your place? Or your book cum coffee shop?" She asked leaving Kayden subject. " Sorry mom. Drop Kevin in my shop . " I ended the call . As I turned to look who is the person , Richard sat in the dining table drinking water. I took my sandwich and sat across from him. " So, what's your girlfriend name?" I actually tried to have a normal conversation. " Hannah" he said after a while. I am still astonished by the fact that he has a girlfriend. " Do you really have a girlfriend? Like really? " I asked him again . He nodded and laughed at me as I gave him my flirtatious smile. " You do know I don't like you. Stop doing it" he replied flatly. "How long you are living here? Why you didn't bring her even once?" I asked suddenly getting curious about his life. " Hmm, none of your business. Three and half years" he answered . Again flat tone. " Why you don't like me? " I asked annoyed and irritated by that. " Because you're a bitch . Maybe I don't know" he scratches his head a while and concluded" you're not my type." I am Jennifer Giamatti. I am everybody's type. Even if people don't like me, they certainly lust after me. " I am everyone's type." I mouthed my words. " No. You're egoistic, self centered , narcissistic and lonely girl . You think you're cool and keeps sleeping around with guys . But the thing is you are doing it because you doesn't like yourself or feeling like doing it due to your loneliness. " He spoke straight away. He is taking psychology course in university whereas me and Ben are doing management courses so that we can take over family business. I don't show him that his words hurt me. Though he was somewhat right , he has no right to judge me . He stand up to walk away but I blocked him . For each step I took, he took one back. Soon his back hit the wall. I pulled him closer and placed my hands on his cheeks. He was taken aback. I can clearly see some sort of thing in his eyes maybe lust . He looks like he's attracted to me. Maybe he's horny but eyes don't lie. I can see the want. To confirm that I kissed his cheek. He was speechless for a moment but then he pushed me away coming back to his senses. He's one of a kind. " I don't like you, Jennifer" with that he left. I laughed as I entered my room. *** I decided not to mop around the room for which Ben will certainly give a big lecture than those professors as he has nothing to do since Maria hasn't returned yet. I sighed thinking about it. So ,I sighed while I wake up from my sleep. It's past 3. I checked my messages. Mom sent me a text with a picture of Kayden gravestone. In loving memory of Kayden Damon Giamatti. After Kayden's death, I wanted to live away from our house and have some place as my own. My parents agreed and I moved into the apartment I live now. I was interested in setting up the coffee shop . My dad like the idea though mom isn't as she wants me to become model like her. She doesn't disapprove as well. I am not making much money with this, but still it gives me the relief and make me feel better with living the life. Nicholas Cronje called me. My bestfriend . We all call him Nick. Then there are Cindy and John. They're also my besties. We all are childhood friends. Cindy and John don't mess around unlike me and Nick. " I am bored . Let's meet up." he said simply. I agreed instantly as Kevin will also visit me here. " See you in seven minutes" with that he hung up on me. As he said , he came right on time. " The last thing I remember was kissing Gary who I met at a party but today when I was getting on with that , Gary is not there . It's Dimitri. I moaned Gary's name pissing him off. When we got along again, my two roommates showed up ruining the moment. " I told him everything for which he burst out laughing at me. " Anyways , my count is now 59" he prided himself. "Mine is only 48. " He smirked . No problem . There is still four more months. I can always catch up. The thing is both me and Nick had a bet on who gets 100 makeout sessions. The loser has to buy a brand new sports car of winner's choice to the winner. To be honest, what Richard said was partially correct. I am not whoring out. I am concerned about my body and only went all the way with Dimitri ,Gary, Steven and Frank. Can't say the same about Nick. I wonder why when a guy does it he's so cool and when a girl does, she's a slut. Maybe I am lkie everybody else. It's like I am using other's body to fill the loneliness of my heart. Mr.Dirk Nannes ,my psychologist and I are still figuring out why I am doing the things I did. Maybe it's loneliness . " Am I egoistic self centered narcissistic girl? Do guys don't like me? " I asked him. " Who said that? " He asked again and listened patiently until I finished. " You're not what he said. He doesn't know you. Had he known what you're going through, he wouldn't have said it. Ignore it, dude." He patted my back and left. ** Kevin came in after the car dropped him left . Mom didn't accompany him. " Mom has a last minute photoshoot. She said she's sorry for not being here." He explained her absence. Kevin is doing his high school . He was in boarding school at first. But Kayden's death, mom and dad took turns to look after him in our house . So he got shifted to his new school. " How is school??" I asked him feeling awkward . " It's nice. I made some friends. " He replied while looking around. " I miss you ,Jen. Why don't you come and live with us? " He asked me the question I am dreading to answer. " I can't ,Kevin. It's too much to handle" I replied lowly. " you're selfish. We all are sad and still mourning Kayden's death. But you're not even talking about it. You don't come to visit him too. " He said angrily. " I know. I have my own reason . There are still lots of memories of Kayden in our house. I don't want to think about it. Just leave it. I will come and live with all of you once I feels like I can face it." I explained calmly keeping my emotions at bay. I don't want to break down infront of him. Instead of emphasizing with me, he got more angry. He was not there when everything was going on. He doesn't know how hard it is for me to visit his grave. " You know, sometimes I wish it would be better if you died instead of him." Hhe said while taking his bag and walked away. I too wish the same all the time. I wish Kayden to be alive instead of me. But that's not going to happen. I lost him. I lost the one who was there for me. Maybe if I tried more and was more cautious, he would've been alive. Had I not believed him, it wouldn't have happened.Richard's POV:I watched as Kevin storms out of the coffee shop, Jennifer looks at the place he seated a while ago. Ben walked towards me . He is worried about his cousins. Everytime Ben offers to help, Jennifer pushes him away and others for that matter. I know it's about her elder brother death. Kayden Giamatti passed away four years ago. Everybody wants to know what happened to him. His parents covered his death so that paparazzi and the police noone know what happened. Ben knows but she didn't tell anyone. As for Jennifer , she gets angry and lashes out then broke down whenever it was brought up .I know it's hard to lose someone you love .she went to the extreme level of self destruction in her sorrow. But then I don't know her. I don't particularly care about her but her little brother and her parents. They all want her to go to the Kayden's grave and talk but she refuses to go. I know only this much by the phone calls of her mom begging her to go ,even her father . She rejects
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
"Where are we?" I ask her looking around, but I paused when I see her take out a little glass bottle where you keep pills. "Are you fucking serious? I'm done with you, I'm taking a cab home, how can you be popping pills when you're with me? After you know, that is the reason why I don't like you in the first place." I angrily tried to get out."Calm down,man." She says taking two pills. I was going to get out of the car, but she locked the door again, and grabbed my wrist causing me to look at her. We're face to face now and I see her swallow in whatever it is she took. My blood boiled at the sight, how can she be so beautiful, so genuine only seconds ago, and so stupid at the same time to get high that too right in front of me?"I have a medical prescription. I'm not a drug addict, Richard, I-I don't do drugs, I do drink but not drugs, no drugs. I-I am told that I have depression and anxiety and these pills help me when I'm about to lose it or when my anxiety is getting worse. Someti
Jennifer's P.O.V My psychologist Dirk Nannes thinks I'm attracted to Richard . it's not just the casual sexual attraction, no, he thinks it's deeper than sexual attraction. How ridiculous is that? Okay, yes, throughout the course of our sessions I have -sometimes- brought up his name but not every single session as he claims... He thinks that I'm terrified of him rejecting me and that this is why I was never nice to him, because even if he did accept me, I won't accept the fact apparently. According to him, I'm also scared of loving. What a bunch of crap!Also, there is Nick. That idiot... We are having a party, a good time to get my mind off Kevin and his harsh words, sudden hatred towards me for reasons I do not wish to bring up... And we're having a fine conversation until he decided to bring him up. Once again. (Flashback) "I can have any girl and boy I want, Nick, if I wanted I would have won this stupid competition long ago, I just don't want to play anymore..." I told
Richard's POV I have been waiting for this dumb girl to reply, it has been about three minutes and she hasn't replied. I know I should probably go to bed but I don't want to go to bed. I want her to reply! I don't know why I feel the way I do when texting her or why it felt like I was going down on a roller coaster when I saw her profile picture and new number on my phone. Don't judge me, I didn't have her number, I never had it . I found its her number from her display picture. It was a picture of her, Nick and Cindy, she look hot and so did her friends. I had to admit, her little group of friends are quite good looking. I'm about to give up because it says that she's not longer online for about three minutes so she probably fell asleep... I'm about to do the same when my door cracks open and I froze. Should I pretend to be asleep? Or ask her why she's here? What the hell !? I lay in bed still, I tell myself to relax but I can't. I want her to come closer, cl
Richard's POV I woke up earlier than the usual. I got ready and waited for Jennifer in the living room, she is taking her time so I just had some cereals for breakfast."Morning." She said coming out of her room and heading straight to the door, I followed without making any conversation.And that's how the whole day went. During lunch, she stayed with her friends while I stayed with mine, it was getting awkward and I am not even near her! The lunch time ended with a ring of bell. while I was walking with Jess towards our next class , Jennifer appeared next to us."What do you have next?" She asked while walking next to me."History." I answered while facing her. "What about you?" I smiled like an idiot as we spoke after a day."Commerce." She sighed as she walked to her locker, how did she even get off my way? I was with Jessica but Jessica is nowhere to be seen.She opened her locker and placed her things neatly . It is well organised unlike mine. "Wanna go home and have fun?" She
Jennifer's POVSo, I'm in a relationship and never in my life did I think I would do the things I've done for him.Ew. Who am I? I ask myself.However, I keep feeling this weird sensation that makes me want to do it again and again and I don't know if it is a nasty or a good sensation. I always intend to be near him, to annoy him and make him laugh. The way I am changing is not at all fine for me.Thankfully, today is thursday . I have an appointment with Dr. Dirk Nannes today, I can tell him all about this weird sensation and he can help me figure out how to get rid of this nasty feeling that I'm getting. It makes me nervous and I don't like it. My hands shake for no reason and they get cold as well. KISS! I still can't get over the fact that I've kissed someone as passionately as him. It was great, I'm not going to lie, it felt amazing and at the same time it made me feel weird but I liked it. Strange, right?I know he likes it... It is very obvious, when I first kissed him in fro
Jennifer's POV:While waiting for Dr. Nannes to finish with his other appointment , I texted Richard about how his exam went and if he found a ride home.Ric♥️: It went well! I think it'll be fine, most of the things we went over were on the exam thank you Jen for helping me and all that. And yes I did find a ride, Jessica took me home but we're getting pizza now. I'm with her and Simon. Got to go.Oh okay... Send me a sexy picture of you.I am still waiting for my turn. It has been five minutes and there's only four minutes until my appointment. I heard the girl cry. So, I don't think my appointment is going to happen any time soon. Dr. Nannes doesn't let you just go if he thinks you're not okay, he stays and talks to you and once you seem to be okay, he lets you go. To make sure you're okay, he says.My mobile buzzed.I'm home, here's that sexy picture.My eyes widen, I didn't think he was going to do it, I was joking I didn't want the picture, I'd like to see it for myself not i
***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
After 5 years..,Jennifer's P.O.V"Jen, come on, Cindy is driving me crazy, please!" Sandra yelled at me through the phone, she was supposed to be asking me for a favour yet it sounded like she was ordering me around."Sandra you know I can't leave the office right now." I told her holding the phone between my shoulder and my ear, "Listen, I'll talk to Alan and see if he can cover the meetings for me, if he can I'll go, but if not, I'm sorry.""I swear she's going to drain me." Sandra sighed, I could hear Cindy in the background shouting at Sandra, "I gotta go, I don't even know what she's saying right now, but you better get here, Jen because I'm going to kill her if she tries to talk to me about the differences between two shades of purple. I just-- God, Cindy I'm coming!!!"Before I had the opportunity to reply, Sandra ended the call. I let my phone drop to my lap as I stretched my back and my neck. I had been at the office since 7am and it was currently 7pm, I should had headed ho
**Richard's POV**I haven't seen Jennifer for four months now. I can totally understand why Jennifer doesn't want to see me anymore. I am a fucked up selfish man. I had my entire life planned out and was waiting for Hannah to come from jail. I am supposed to be in a job after finishing the university . But no, I got into the mess and our ugly breakup is worse. Jennifer doesn't deserve it. I was selfish and a confused man. I took safe option. Jennifer deserves better. I could've said it nicely rather than being harsh with me. She doesn't lie unlike me in our relationship .If me snapping at her and breaking up with her was bad enough, then the very next morning ,most horrible thing happened. Someone had shot our last conversation and sold it to the paparazzi. Almost every magazine has a picture of Jennifer crying while walking away from Marcus studio. Our relationship story was almost covered in two pages." Player gets played " stated a magazine . Some magazine said I used her for ge
Jennifer's POVI feel stupid, pathetic and ashamed too. I feel like a child who did something extremely wrong in front of a bunch of kids and now I was the joke of the hour. I have never felt like this before, it's humiliating. I don't know what to do.I was avoiding Richard at all cost, I couldn't face him, this time was different from all other times, this time I was embarrassed, I was-- truly hurt. The kind of hurt that makes your body hurt when you breath in or when you're just walking around and it just hurts. I was acting like a fucking ghost, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I barely left Nick's place, I couldn't even talk without feeling hurt for how much of a pain this really was.Is this what being heart broken was like? I've known pain, I know what it is like to truly be heartbroken but this pain is a different kind of pain.Just thinking about him made my heart twist, how could it hurt this bad? I never thought it was true, I never thought that it could actually hurt thi
