Intentions Gone Wrong

Georgia’s POV

“That will be all, Miss Georgia. Thank you for joining us on the show,” the representative for the star booster said with a tender smile.

Georgia smiled charmingly to the camera as well and said, “Oh, thank you for having me,” she told the young lady.

She had just finished a round of interview with star booster, one of the platforms that would help promote her and bring her to the limelight. The lady had asked just the right questions…just as Georgia had paid their manager to do. 

She liked exactly how things were going for her.

After the representative and her crew members left, Georgia went to the restaurant and waited for Syrus. The interview was held in the hotel loft, so it was very easy to just grab lunch after the interview, and also, she and Syrus had decided to meet up for lunch. 

Georgia checked her fancy wristwatch; Syrus was fifteen minutes late already.

“What could be keeping him up?” Georgia asked herself as she ordered for a glass of Mojito while she waited. Finally, she had Syrus all to herself; divorced and very single, and with this new interview, things were about to be different for the both of them.

Not long, Syrus walked into the restaurant in long strides. Georgia watched the movement of his legs lustily. “Soon, all of these would be mine,” Georgia said to herself.

As Syrus got to where she was sitting and waiting for him, Georgia noticed one of the restaurant customers staring at them with curiosity. 

“Well, time to give you all a show,” Georgia whispered to herself as she grabbed Syrus’s hand before he took his seat, signaling him for a peck. Like a gentleman, Syrus pecked her on both cheeks before he took his seat.

Georgia glanced briefly at the nosy customer to be sure she caught that moment. Everything that would make Georgia and Syrus look like the perfect couple, Georgia was up for it.

“How was your interview?” Syrus asked, but his voice was distant and unsettled.

“It went well, although I still wish you would join me in taking these interviews one of these days,” Georgia said. 

Syrus only ordered for a glass of water with lots of ice; he definitely wasn’t in the best of moods. Sweetly, Georgia reached forth for his hand and took his in hers. “Is this about what I told you?” Georgia asked.

“Huh?” For a minute, Syrus was completely lost. Actually, since he stepped into the restaurant, he had been absentminded. 

“Are you in a mood because of the information I gave you about Vivian?” Georgia elaborated.

“Oh, that,” Syrus said. Then he snorted. “I almost did not believe you, Georgia,” he said.

“But you know that I would never lie to you,” Georgia said. I love you too much to outwardly lie to you or hurt you, Syrus, Georgia said inwardly. She could not wait for the day she would freely express how she felt to Syrus, and he would reciprocate wholeheartedly. 

By that time, Vivian would have been out of their lives completely for good.

“I had gone in for a checkup, like I already told you,” Georgia recapped. “And while I passed by the ward, which I didn’t even know that its patient was Vivian, I heard the doctor clearly announcing to her and that lousy lowlife friend of hers about Vivian being pregnant with triplets,” Georgia said and chuckled lightly. “I could not believe it myself. I mean, anything just to rope you in,” Georgia finished.

“Yeah, she did not deny it when I asked her,” Syrus said. 

Georgia’s head snapped as she looked at Syrus. “Where…how…I don’t…” Georgia struggled to find the right words.

“I had to,” Syrus said.

Georgia was still a little lost, but nonetheless, she took Syrus’s hand again and said sweetly, “No matter what, none of that matters anymore. I know the embarrassment she put you and your mother through. It’s a good thing you already know, so that you don’t fall into one of her schemes,” Georgia ensured that the words came out sweetly.

“You will be alright, okay?” She tried to assure Syrus. Syrus nodded in agreement. Then Georgia asked him with a smile, “But how did you confront her?”

“I went over to her family house to talk about it,” Syrus answered, oblivious of Georgia’s feelings.

Instantly, Georgia almost turned purple. Her insides churned and she almost let out a painful howl. The only thing that did not reflect in the way she felt was her hand holding Syrus’s hand. Georgia was so skilled in what she did that she still managed to hold Syrus tenderly, even though what she desperately wanted to do was squeeze her fingers in annoyance.

“Why would you do that, Syrus? You know she triggers your emotions, and we are trying to get you out of that space,” Georgia said.

“I had to, Georgia. That was one of the reasons why you told me, right?” Syrus looked deeply at Georgia and asked.

Georgia gritted her teeth and released a tight smile.

And Syrus misread her emotions. “Thank you, Georgia, for finding out and telling me immediately about it,” Syrus started.

Oh, now I wish I didn’t, Georgia cried inwardly, regretting her very actions.

“If it wasn’t for you, Vivian would probably never have mentioned anything to me. She would never have reached out to me and informed me about my impending fatherhood,” Syrus continued with a proud and happy smile that Georgia hadn’t seen on Syrus’s face in a really long time.

“Triplets, Georgia,” Syrus was happy.

Georgia released another tight smile. She was gradually turning purple while Syrus basked in his excitement. When she had hurried told Syrus what she heard at the hospital, she had done so with the intentions that Syrus would fight Vivian for trying to trap him into a commitment, but now it seemed that she was doing it without even trying.

“I am going to be the best dad ever,” Syrus said, still reveling in the feel of the moment.

“Of course, you would,” Georgia said tightly. Any more words about it from Syrus and her charade would fall apart and she would scream. “I need to use the restroom,” Georgia quickly excused herself and hurried off.

In the restroom, she released her pent up emotions and yelled in anger.
