Rebecca’s POV

“Rebecca, are you sure Carlos loves you the way you say he does.” Nica asked me when we were heading out of the restaurant.

I think it was the silliest question now. I mean, I don't even know how he feels about me. He says he loves me, but his reaction today said the opposite.

“Yeah he does. Why ask me that? He behaves that way sometimes, and I think I am used to it.” I replied.

I saw Nica's face change a bit. I have never seen her this way before. Anyway, she helped me get a taxi home and made sure I had reached safely. She was there and she never left me. I don’t know what I would do if she had decided to leave me too. My mind was confused. I could not understand what made me so nervous to spill the juice on myself. The way I had taken my precious time to make myself beautiful only to ruin myself with that cheap juice and to embarrass the people I was with. I don't think I can ever forget this incident.

  • My Only Love   Carlos apology

    Rebecca's POVI was woken up by loud music which was coming from my house. I open my eyes to find Carlos dancing and drinking my juices from my fridge. He had made quite a mess there. I just sat there looking at him without saying a word. He saw me, and he turned down the volume. “Why are you looking at me like that?” He asked rudely. I wonder why he was behaving in such a manner. I continue staring at him, and he comes to where I was sitting, and he sits beside me. “I am asking you.” He came and touched my hands I had placed on my lap. I still stare at him.“Babe, I am so sorry for what I did yesterday. Can you please forgive me.” He said, looking straight in my eyes. I could not believe he was the one asking for forgiveness. I could not find words to tell him. I stood up and went to the washroom to ease myself. I guess he had not seen the video that was trending on social media right now. Because if he could have seen it I am sure it would have not been the same. “Babe can you say

  • My Only Love   The tour

    Carlos’s POVI look at Rebecca sleeping on the sofa, and she looks beautiful. She looks the same as the woman I fell in love with years back, and I still felt the same way for her. I don’t know what had made me so angry at her at the restaurant. Instead of helping her, I decided to leave her on her own.The truth is I felt so embarrassed, especially in front of her friend Nica who looked stunning. I agree, she was beautiful and classy. One could tell from the confidence she had while talking to the waiters there that her family was rich, and she was really used to coming to places like these, but not Rebecca. I think that is why she was so nervous; Nica was the kind of girl every man would wish to have. I mean, she had everything: money, looks, expensive dress code, but not me. I loved Rebecca, and I believe no one could ever change that.I noticed how she had looked at me when Rebecca left the table. It was like she was interested in us being alone. She was not a good friend. I could

    Nica's POVEver since I saw Carlos in person, my mind has been thinking a lot about him. I see him everywhere; in my sleep, my kitchen, my books, my bathroom, literally everywhere. This is the first time this has happened to me. I have never fallen for someone this deep. I just wanted him. My whole being was longing for him. “You must be mine, Carlos, only mine.” I say to myself.I wished I had his contacts. It would have been easy to ask him to meet me up. I want to meet him so bad today. I hope to see him, so desperately. I have to look for an excuse just to see him.” ooh Carlos, my love” I say as I prepare myself. It's on a Sunday, and this day usually bores me. I haven't gone to Church in a long time. My family was the one who used to force me to go, but when I came to the university, I had completely forgotten about it. I just want to have a good time.

  • My Only Love   Mike's second heartbreak

    Mike's POVIt has been a while since Rebecca and I talked. Ever since I confessed my love for her, things between us have never been the same. She had become somehow distant, even though we agreed to start fresh. The last time we talked was when I escorted her out of the school. I had tried to stay away from her, but I could not do it. The truth is my love for her has grown even stronger and I don't know what to do about it. I have already tried doing stuff for her to love me, but she has always kept it clear that she only saw me as a friend. I have already lost hope of her ever loving me. I guess the hope that is remaining is just little. I cannot force her to love me. I wanted it to come from her heart. That is the form of love I wanted with her, a true one.Today I ran into her at the cafeteria and she looked absolutely gorgeous. She is strong and courageous. Even after everything that happened to her and all the humiliation she had undergone, she still kept a bright smile on her f

    Nica’s POVI spent my entire day with the gentleman. We had gotten along really well, and I was about to make him agree to my plan of taking Carlos away from Rebecca.“So, what do you say about what I have said? Is it a yes, Jacob?” I asked him. He had told me earlier that his name was Jacob, and it stuck in my head right away.“Ooh, about the issue with the girl? If it’s that, then I will not work for free. You must pay me something.” He demands. I did not like his tone, but when it comes to issues with money, I can pay him any amount. He just had to name his price. I just wanted the work done.“How much do you want?” I ask. “It’s not an issue about money here. I don’t want money; all I need is something precious.” He says as he comes close to me.I thought that men like these had problems with money, since he did not look rich. He was just some low class, just like Rebecca. These low-class people sucked. But not Carlos. He is not that rich either, but I guess he is in the middle cla

    Rebecca's POVCarlos seemed to have calmed down now. I sometimes did not like his jealous side, but I had to bear it. I loved him anyway, and if you love someone, you have to love their negative sides too.We were happy now and every time we argued and reconciled our love became stronger. I believe that is how we came this far without breaking up. We leave the school and start heading back. Carlos was funny at times, and he made me laugh uncontrollably.We reach near the house and I notice Nica. She looks like she is about to leave. I bet she has been waiting for me for a while. She looks really exhausted. I know she is coming from the club by the way she is dressed. She turns around and looks at us.“Nica, what are you doing here? Have you waited for long?” I ask her immediately and she looks at me. It’s like she was not happy when she saw the both of us together. She sometimes behaved in such a manner I did not understand, but deep down I believed she was a good person.“I came to c

He has been there for several minutes now. It has been disgusting hearing him mourn and enjoy me. But it is over now. All I have to do is rush to the shower to wash it off.“Oh! Veronica. I never knew you were this good.” He continued saying as he started to dress up.“It’s ok. So, all we have to do is concentrate on the plan now.” I cut him short. I could not allow him to continue praising me. I knew how precious I was. That is why I know Carlos won’t be able to resist me once I get that filthy Rebecca away from him for good.“Ok. I will be updating you about all that. About where we will hold the party, we can rent a house and say it’s one of your family’s. You are rich anyway, so no one will doubt you.” He suggested.That idea was brilliant and I did not oppose it. I agreed with it immediately. Since I had no time to was
