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
My Very True Love CHAPTER NINE
DIANAHis presence is oddly comforting, it's enough, it feels safe, it feels happy and it finally feels like what I've craved all these years. Our conversations are not forced, there is no silent moment, unless we're both giving our undivided attention to the TV, or staring at each other, smiling.No one has made me feel this way in a long while, especially in such a short time, and I'm trying hard not to make it obvious that I haven't felt this way in a while.When we're done with the last episode for the first season, we realize it's past 11.“It's past 11” He says with a hint of disappointment in his voice.“That it is, we could do this again?” I ask, standing up, I don't even know why I asked that.Please don't find me embarrassingPlease don't find me embarrassingPlease don't find me embarrassing“We should, we definitely should”. He says, laughing.Phew.“Alright, Bye?” I ask, making my way for the door.“Bye, D” There's a pause before the D, and his facial expression is to rem
My Very True Love CHAPTER TEN
BRYANAfter Lynn leaves the apartment, I'm left disconcerted, confused. I might understand where she's coming from, but I thought we both knew this was undefined, since we clearly didn't define it. It breaks me that I hurt her, but I know better than to follow her out, so I let Lynn go, and I head back to Mike's.Few hours later after I'm freshened up and out of my head with my thoughts, Mike walks in.He flashes me a look of uncertainty, noticing my displeasing mood.“Heyyy man, you good?” He asks in concern, sitting on the couch across from me.“I think I messed things up with new girl”“Who? Diana, pretty chick?”“Yh man don't rub it in”“What happened?”So I explain everything, how she called me her boyfriend, and how she was hurt I didn't think we were ever anything closer than friends.After what feels like a sad silent 2 seconds, Mike bursts out in laughter. God I need new friends.“But you kinda led her on man, you've never spent that much time with anyone, hell with me”“Lo
My Very True Love CHAPTER ELEVEN
DIANAThe past few days haven't exactly been great, considering how perfect they seemed prior to that. I miss Bryan. And I'm always tempted to answer his calls and reply his text, but Lynn made me swear not to, unless he meets me in person to apologize, and I sincerely don't see that happening. So I'm beginning to live with the fact that I don't get to have anything with Bryan anymore.It's funny, how we used to run into each other coincidentally when we were still close, in the elevator, on the roof, even in the lobby. But ever since things went south, I haven't run into him even once, I haven't even set my eyes on him, I can't tell if he moved back to his apartment, or if he's avoiding me. I always hoped it was the latter.I'm at work when a call is put through to me about something delivered to my office, so I signal to let it in.When the package arrives, I'm stunned. They are flowers. Big, beautiful, nicely scented flowers. There's a note on it, so I read it:_A letter can be as
My Very True Love CHAPTER TWELVE
BRYANI drag her up from her seat and pull her close to me. My hands are on her waist, just above her hips and her hands are gripping my arms tightly. She's nervous. It's the first time we've ever been so close, except from the time at one of our dates to the zoo, when she jumped on me on impulse from the scare of seeing a monkey.Now, it feels real, it's defined, it's consented. “Bad time for a first kiss?” I ask, smirking. Of course it's not a bad time, I just said that for humor, and of course, to sound cool.“I wouldn't know, I've never really...”I don't wait for her to finish her sentence, I brush my lips over hers, softly, seeking approval to proceed. She gasps in surprise but parts her lips in approval, and I welcome them with mine. heat rises from my stomach to my head, her scent hypnotizing.The kiss says all the things I haven't been able to say to her, all the things I might never be able to say to her. It's not demanding, it's passionate, yet soft and gentle. It washes
My Very True Love CHAPTER THIRTEEN
DIANAHe leans in and kisses me softly on the lips. It's brief and subtle, but it still sends shivers right through me.“You... you look... Stunning.” He stutters few times before gathering his words.I take a few seconds to scrutinize him. His hair, still that same deep shade of brown matching his eyes, he's in a white, long sleeved, collared shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbow, and the first four buttons left undone. All these seemingly little features, complimenting his build.“Thank you.” I say, smiling genuinely, at both his compliment and his looks, “You look... a lot.” I add in a chuckle.“A lot?” He asks, his face tilted to the right, an inquisitive smile forming on his face.“It's the good kind of a lot... A lot of handsome.” I clarify in a grin.He laughs, “Shall we?” He asks, his arms curved for me to put mine in.“We shall.” I respond in a bright smile.********The Mexican restaurant is amazing, right from what the view looks like from the outside, you could already tel
My Very True Love CHAPTER FOURTEEN
BRYANIt's 5:44am and the only glow in my room is from the screen of my phone, as it lights up from a text,_17th of next month, 2pm, Family house. Try to be there Bryan, Dad doesn't want excuses because of ‘work’. See you there._It's the text from Kel containing details for the meeting Dad has called for whatever god-damned reason.Once it's family, I hate to talk about it, don't get me wrong, it's not enmity or anything, but with them, my words never hold value. I like to think that ironic, considering I'm the first born, and first son, but I'm barely allowed to air my opinions.They consider me rebellious because I followed my dreams to becoming a Surgeon, instead of joining in the ‘Family business’. Which is why Kel's opinions are held in higher regard.I take a frustrated breath and pull the sheets back over my head, but my bladder forces me to the bathroom.An hour later, I take instant coffee and half a burrito left over from the takeaways I got from the Mexican restaurant and
My Very True Love CHAPTER FIFTEEN
DIANABryan's house is unlike anything I've ever seen, from the open door to the wide hallway, the walls of the hallway, filled with photographs of children, obviously not his. The hallway opens up to a living room by the left, and a kitchen, much bigger than my own living room, by the right. The living room has a beautiful fireplace, expensive drapes and furnitures, and a formal dining room by the corner. The house is beautifully decorated with some bright flowers, it smells amazing, and there are few scented candles here and there.“It's quite a place you've got here Bryan.” I say, slowly spinning to take in the view of the house.I never got to see a home like this, let alone live in it, it looks like one of those homes where the whole family stays in together and live happily together. This place could house an entire extended family. “Thanks, I got a few things for dinner, I'm cooking.” He says that smirking at me like he's trying to tell me he's very good at cooking. “Want

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
