My Very True Love CHAPTER ONE
DIANAMy eyes widen to the ray of sun piercing through my blinds.It's 8:06 in the morning, I'm supposed to be at work by 7am. I'm late, again. Shawn is going to kill me. I make my way for the bathroom as fast as I can and I go face first into the shelf in my working corner. This definitely is not the behavior of someone trying to get a promotion. I heave a sigh of frustration.Thankfully I only sustain a small bump on the side of my forehead. I must have metal for a skull.I make a mental note in my head to text my brother and inform him I'd be dropping by after work.I rinse my face and proceed to have my bath and board a cab to work.Shawn spots me.“Ah, Diana. Stuck in traffic again?”He asks, making his way towards me.That's a usual excuse for me to be fair, but the traffic in LA is not even child's play.“I'm sorry Shawn, I know you wouldn't believe me, but there were minor inconveniences.”“You're damn right I wouldn't, see me in my office by the close of work” I groan while m
My Very True Love CHAPTER TWO
BRYAN“Thank you Mr Fox, I appreciate it, even more so, the children appreciate it all, your efforts, love, time and the money.”I look up at Miss Kharity, smiling, as she expresses her gratitude for the gifts I just dropped off for the children at the orphanage.It isn't even part of my monthly donations, but I sure love to see the smiles on the faces of these children. The joy is inexplicably real. It's not that kind of joy you get from Cats, or Chicken and chips, or Thai noodles, or even Basmati rice. No doubt these are good but the feeling of joy only come when you're with them. The feeling of joy that comes when I'm with these children remain with me, that keeps me going.“You have to understand it's really no problem Miss K, I enjoy doing this. I'll be on my way now, I'm quite late” I say cheerfully.“Thank you so much, say thank you kids”.“Thank you Mr Bryaaan!” The children shout in unison and in joy.It makes me happy, and I laugh.“It's okay, Thanks everyone. Bye”.I make
My Very True Love CHAPTER THREE
DIANAI'm outside my work place when I realize I didn't leave my brother a text to let him know I'd be dropping by today. So I call him._“Hey Daniel”__“Hi, Diana?”_He always does that, call my name in question to confirm if it's really me on the phone, I don't know what for or why, but sometimes it just gets frustrating._“Expecting someone else?”__“Sorry, been long”__“It's been 3 days Daniel, I called you on Sunday”__“Rightttt, my bad. So what's up?”__“Making my way to your apartment. Except I don't know the way to your apartment, so I need directions”__“I thought you said Wednesday?”__“Well I'm a day early, are you going to give me directions or not Daniel?”__“Ugh yh, sorry, Admiralty high way, let the cab drop you at the LA Kindread Hospital. My apartment is just around the curb by the side of the hospital. Ask for Royalty Complex. I'm on the last floor, 12b. See ya”__“Thanks big bro”_I take his directions as specifically as I can and I finally make it to the elevator.
My Very True Love CHAPTER FOUR
BRYANI wake up by a kick to my ankle. It's very bright, it's morning. “Dude wake up, can't believe you slept on the roof top” He says, laughing at my weird predicament.Tired and unable to think I ask, “What's the time?”“It's about 8am, there's no work today though, you can rest all you want man”“Ugh, I have to get back to my place” I say, very tired.I make it back into Mike's apartment and get my things, I don't even take a shower. The elevator ride down feels like forever, but I finally make it down. I walk back to the hospital and over to the parking lot where my car is parked, and I head home.On the way home I can't help but think of everything Mike said. And my thoughts lingers back to my mum.She was only 18 when she was married to my dad, and it was for his money, neither of them cared about building a strong foundation for their marriage. Dad wanted a woman to have sex with and bear him children, and Mum wanted a rich man to have children with. It worked out well for bo
My Very True Love CHAPTER FIVE
DIANASnapping out of my thoughts, I pick up my bag and leave Daniel's house. I put the key under his mat, just as he instructed and I head for Lynn's house.Lynn is my best friend. The absolute best. We've known each other for what feels like an eternity but is actually just 3 years, she works at the coffee shop just next to the Media company, not that she needs it. Her family is wealthy, so she doesn't lack. She just wants to feel like she has her hands on something, according to her. I grabbed her attention when I kept getting coffee consistently for 2 weeks due to some issues with my parents at home.She was there to comfort me, and she's always been there since, so I find my way to the Hospital and take a cab to Lynn's from there. I punch in the code and walk into her apartment when I get there, something smells fire, not literally though.Lynn is cooking. She squeals in excitement on seeing me.“Hey D!”“Hey L!”We both let out a vivacious laughter.“I wasn't expecting you”. Sh
My Very True Love CHAPTER SIX
BRYANIt's Wednesday, and all Wednesdays are off days, along side Saturdays and Sundays. I jump out of bed and head to my planning board. I dust off the previous plans from yesterday, which included “Have Maria over for sex” and I laugh at myself. I'm beginning to see how pathetic my life really is. I write down fresh plans for the day, and I decide to leave Maria, or sex, out of my plans.Binge watch Grey's AnatomyBuy take out for noonStudy the Indiana Medical caseGo to the gymVisit MikeBinge watch Grey's Anatomy. Again.I smile at my plan, though quite short, they are time consuming, so they pretty much cover up my 24 hours. ********When I'm back from the gym by 4pm, I freshen up and drive down to Mike's.This take the elevator to the last floor. When it finally opens, I'm met by a pair of striking blue eyes, she looks like she's in her late twenties, not too late, 26/27. She has beautiful, curly, shoulder length hair, she has inviting lips and most inviting of all, her boob
My Very True Love CHAPTER SEVEN
DIANAI leave the apartment and make for the elevator, the door opens, revealing the most handsome guy I've seen in a few years. I'm too sad and tired too be moved. But I notice his features. His hair seems a deep shade of brown, same as his eyes, and this simple feature compliments his face.His body is well built, and he's tall, very tall, a good 5 inches taller by my guess. I snap out of my trance and snap my hands at him,“Hello? I need to make it down, if you'd be so kind as to step out the elevator please”.“Yes, sorry” He says.He steps out, his eyes never leaving my body, till the doors closes. Thoughts are coming in, but I'm too tired to pay attention to them, so I wave them off and focus on my present situation.I decide to make a stop at Lynn's, just for comfort. so I take a cab from the hospital out front, to hers. We talk about work, I tell her about the amazing progress I've been making so far, and I tell her about my mum. That moment is clouded because I have so much
My Very True Love CHAPTER EIGHT
BRYANAfter a few weeks, I'm practically an occupant of the Royalty Complex. I have a few important things at Mike's. Trekking 5 minutes to walk every day and taking a 45 minute drive are definitely not the same. The latter works for me.I'm making my way to the elevator, I'm going out for beer, I decided it had been long since I drank, and I wanted to use the opportunity to catch up with a few friends from the hospital.The elevator opens to Elevator girl, she's holding a bottle of wine.“Hi, it's you, again” She says in excitement, I'm not sure the excitement is as a result of her seeing me though, so I ask her.“Something exciting happen?”She seems surprised that I'm talking to her, but she's answers happily anyways.“Yes actually, promotion at work” She says, smiling. And her smile is beautiful. I can explain what she does to me, how she makes me feel. But I like it, and suddenly, catching up with friends isn't even nearly as appealing as spending even the fraction of a minute w

BRYAN“Take a test D. This could be anything, let's not jump into conclusions. I'm very certain you are not pregnant, I played safe Diana.”These are the words that find way out of my mouth in the very state I found myself in. Standing there, and not a single clue of what I would do, thoughts flying into my mind, and a single sentence bringing back tough memories I've tried hard to forget over a long period of time.I hate feeling this way, but I'm sure, there's no reason, she just can't be pregnant.Fuck me!“How are you just so sure that I'm not pregnant Bryan? I want to know. Because we had unprotected sex a number of times, I'm don't know how you're so sure.” Diana asks in a brittle voice.“I know what I'm capable of Diana, I_ I just_ Look, I took my precautionary measures. I'm sure you aren't.” I take in a deep breath, moving closer towards her and taking her hands into mine. “I don't want us to let this escalate Diana, it's as simple as taking a test and confirming before jumpin
My Very True Love CHAPTER FOURTY
DIANARemember how I said my life wasn't a bed of roses or lilies but after Bryan they started to line up? Yh, he probably just lined two or three up the past few hours.He not only said that he loves me, he helped me get over my past trauma, and he gave me the best sex I've ever had in my life. Who knew car sex could be that fun? After everything, we go inside for proper rest. I stare at the beauty of the house once again and become curious about the pictures on the wall.“Who are the children in the pictures on the wall?” I ask as I touch one of them. “This one looks like me, I like her. Who are they?”Bryan chuckles.“They are the children from the orphanage, funny you should point out that young girl you know, she has hair like yours and has a shockingly similar name to yours. Dane.”“Dane and Diana aren't alike, they just have the same first letters.” I say in a chuckle.Bryan smile at me as I move around, admiring every picture, each not even as beautiful as his smile to me. “
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
BRYANI pull myself gently into Diana for a kiss, gentle not to take in the whole of her while we're directly outside her workplace. “Let's take this to mine.” I whisper in her ears as I nibble on them.“I concur.” She replies in a chuckle.The drive on the way to my house is unarguably the best ride I've had in my whole life. The car was almost never silent, it was filled with our laughter, or Diana's beautiful voice, or mine. And when the car was silent, it was filled with stolen gazes from both of us. When we finally get to my place, I turn off the car engine and drop my head back, tired. “Let's go.” I say as I turn to face Diana, who is looking at me adamantly. “Don't you want to get out?” I ask in a chuckle.“We're at your place.” She says, stating the obvious.“Yes Diana, we are.” I laugh and try to exit the car, but she pulls my arms back.“Diana, what the hell.” I'm really laughing now, but without clue of why I am. “You said: ‘Let's take this to mine.’ We're are your plac
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
DIANAWe can't ever talk about life and how shitty it gets enough. For some people, the purpose of life could be to change the world. Some other people feel that the point of life is to set a goal, meet those goals, and achieve personal fulfillment. While some may even feel that life is just for the purpose of enjoyment.Life comes with a package of losses, you learn how to live with the losses and grow out of it, not accepting defeat. You face the future and throw your past away, avoiding the limitations that come with it. You take on responsibilities, a career, anything, to make your life as simple and comfortable as it can be for you.You even go as far as falling in love with someone. Like I did.Life is much more than all these, it's tiring and confusing, and it's hard, but it's only worth it when you do the right things to make yourself happy.There is a popular saying that says “Life is not a bed of roses”. And that's where I come in. I think life is absolutely pointless. I di
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
BRYAN“...and I love you.”Those are the words that leave the beautiful and enticing lips of Diana. I hear them, and then it's a second, then two seconds, then three seconds, then four seconds, and then five seconds, before Diana starts calling out my name, and I'm forced back to the consciousness of the environment around me.“Bryan?”“Bryan?”“Bryan?”“Yh?” I reply, almost still lost.“Are you okay? Did you even hear me?” She asks in a chuckle.“Yes D, Thank you.”Thank you? I must be a fool.There's silence for a hot five seconds, before she forces an awkward smile and says: “Okay.”There's so much pain in her voice when she says that, that it sends a sting to my eyes. Once again, those words that always fail me, I can't say anything, I don't know what to say.I take in a deep and frustrated breath, and I try to explain. I want to explain, but I'm not sure I know what exactly is wrong, or why exactly I froze. Why exactly I can't say those words “I love you” back to her, especiall
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
DIANA“Okay Diana, your turn.” Bryan says.“Why are you really back?” I ask again, curious.“I thought I just said ‘your turn?’ That means your turn to tell me how your stay here was while I was gone. Not your turn to ask me questions. Plus I already answered your question like 5 minutes ago, remember? When I said you were the reason, and a bunch of other things.”“Then why exactly are you back for me?” I ask turning away from him, waiting for whatever his answer may be.“I don't know? Because I miss you? Because I miss what we had? It's just you Diana.” He sighs, “We're past this Miss Walter. Tell me how your stay was, or I might be forced to make you talk.”“You can't make me talk Bryan.” I roll my eyes at him. But he wasn't joking. He puts his hands around my waist, pulls me closer to him and locks my legs in his. I gasp and then he looks me in the eye. “I'm going to tickle you. You have five seconds.”“Fine, I hate tickles, just let me go.” I plead in laughter. And it's all star
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
BRYANThey say you don't know what you have until you lose it. I never knew what LA was to me, until I lost it. I've been back here for almost a week, but I've been sorting things out at work and at home. So I never really had time to visit Mike in his apartment, or really, see Diana.Thankfully, management at work just thought I was off on some family issues, for two good months. I'm just glad they still appreciate my presence here.Once everything is properly sorted out, and I have free time, for the first time in over two months, I make my way to Mike's apartment, hoping even more to see Diana. Wishing to see Diana.Well, what do you know? Wishes do come true. The elevator to the top floor opens, and there's Diana. I stand for a hot few seconds staring at her, and trying to let out a few words. I don't know? Maybe a greeting? A hi? or an ‘It's good to see you’. But as always, the damn words fail me, they just don't come out. So I stare. I stare at Diana.I stare at everything I've
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
DIANAThe last time I contemplated calling Bryan was two months ago, Denise made me stop. And since then, there has been no communication between us. He never called, or texted. And I never did either.It's so sad how much so Bryan was part of my life, and now, he isn't. And the bigger shock is how he hasn't tried to reach out, or find out how I'm doing or if I'm okay. In as much as I'd like to believe he's in the same shoes as I am, contemplating calling me or not, my case is different because I have Denise and Lynn stopping me every time I want to, but I don't think there's any body stopping Bryan, Mike wouldn't. But I've learnt to live with the truth, that maybe Bryan just isn't for me.On returning to LA, alot of things shifted, which had me making new decisions. For starters, Mira was going to move in with Daniel, and that meant I had to move out. Even if I wasn't asked to leave, I would have. These people have no shame making out in every corner of the house. So I've been looki
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
BRYANIt's been two hectic months here in Maine, two months of heavy traffic, numerous work researches, tiring surgical procedures, different people, and two months of trying to adjust to the lifestyle here in Maine. Two months without communication with Diana, and very few conversations with Mike. Actually, Mike is the only person keeping me sane, in the sense that he gives me little information about Diana, like when she cut her hair a bit shorter and got it straightened, and he sneaked a picture in for me.Or when she looked absolutely stunning on make-up she put on for a colleagues house warming party. Which got me absolutely worked up, because I definitely believed it was a date, until Mike convinced me with pictures. Mike also keeps me going with encouragement of course, even though I keep lying to him that it's amazing over here.Sometimes I can't believe things feel like this, I probably should have made my research before coming here, but I was so engrossed in wanting to be
