~Xander

Flickering my eyes to adjust to the morning lights, I don’t remember the last time I slept so peacefully. I trailed my hand across the bed to find Aoife, but she wasn’t there. I could still smell her fragrance on my body and with eager eyes, I was waiting to see her beautiful face. But where is she?

I threw off my duvet when I heard a sound coming from the kitchen. While walking, I gulped down a bottle of water I had at my bedside for my morning routine, but the last sip got choked in my throat when I saw her perfect round ass bend down to put something in the oven.

Once she backed up, she looked perfect, facing her back towards me.

Her floral skirt, a one-shoulder green crop top revealing her belly button, and a messy bun caught my lustful thoughts. I extended my good morning, but she didn’t hear my words. On closer observation, I saw earplugs in her ears. Slightly shaking her ass, she was enjoying the songs and making breakfast. Did she know she looked like a snack to me?

    ~Xander~After enjoying some beautiful moments together, Aoife and I headed back to the college. I wanted to stay for the entire week, but Aoife was concerned about her exams. After her exam, she promised to come back to the island with me. It did not bother me about her exams because I knew I could control the examiners and her results if she’d let me, but she warned me not to get involved. She wanted to be honest with her studies.Her honesty and respect for her dreams surprise me. While we were in the car, she informed me about Matt’s message and the reply he had sent. She rolled her eyes at my reaction. I don’t want anybody to bother us, not even my best friend.“I need to go to my dorm and prepare myself for my exams. I already missed two lectures.” Aoife’s eyes stayed on the road.“Come on, Aoife. Let’s go somewhere to be alone.” Holding her left hand, I kissed it gently.“We just left. I would love to spend time with you, but I also need to return to work. You took me that nigh

    ~Matt~It was evening, and I was busy after office hours with Neeral editing the blogs they will publish soon for their magazine. My phone started buzzing, and I reached to answer. “Hey, brother,” a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.“Hey, Myra, What’s up? Is everything okay?” I asked casually.“Mom is not feeling well. Dad tried to calm her down, but she wanted to see you,” my sister answered in a lowered tone.“What happened? Is she okay?”“It’s been a long time. You promised to come see her. Mom is waiting for you.” I felt bad. My mom needed me, but for the last few weeks, I got busy saving Xander’s ass from an accident, and then this writing made me forget that I needed to go to see Mom. I backed myself into the chair and raked my hand through my hair from stress.“Brother, are you there?” Myra asserted.“Yeah, I am coming now.” I hung the phone and looked toward Neeral.“I have to go. My mom is not well.” I kept my lips straight, almost asking permission for h

    ~Matt~I am so much in love with the girl sitting on the couch and she did this all for me. I almost became lost in my thoughts. Suddenly, everyone started clapping for Neeral and brought me back to the moment.She looked at me, and he smiled with thanks. “It was beautiful, thank you.”Neeral took his simple gesture nicely while settling herself on the couch. I know she expected a hug or words, but I just gave a friendly smile. Everyone probably thought I felt shy in front of his parents and friends, but I was thinking about the other girl in the room.To break the silence, I signaled Myra to announce me.She took the mic, saying, “Our birthday boy would like to present something.”Everyone was surprised, looking at me, especially when I extended my hand to Aoife.“Can you help me?” With confusion, Aoife held my hand with a questionable gaze.“What are we doing?”“We are going to dance,” I whispered.“I can’t. You know I am not a good dancer.” She was in a naughty mood, looking aroun

    ~Aoife~The next day, we started our journey back to our dorms. I wanted to stay, but my exams were more important. Matt stayed with his parents for one more day, and I made Neeral remain with him, telling him he needed company while driving back, and then they could finish their work.Xander seems quieter than before. I didn’t know what happened to him after he talked to Matt’s dad.“Hey, are you okay?” He nodded without looking at me. His stern face and lost expression bothered me.“Why are you not talking to me?” I couldn’t shut my mouth, not for a second.He rolled his eyes in frustration. I waited, but his eyes were glued to the road.“Xander.” No change in his expression.The car was quiet, and he didn’t seem interested in talking to me. But there was something I wanted to discuss with him.“So, here's the situation: after I finish my exams, I'm thinking of applying for a part-time writing position at Neeral's company. She's a childhood friend of mine and is familiar with my wr

    ~Aoife~When you are in love, everything looks so beautiful. I never thought I would fall for my bully. I never thought the man I feared the most would become my comforter. I love when he feels jealous of me.I feel like the luckiest person in this world to have a friend like Matt. I couldn’t think of getting through exams without his help. With him, everything seems easy. I always adored him, telling him he had some magical powers to make challenging topics easy for me. Nevertheless, I thought about asking for Xander’s help, but Xander—being Xander, was never interested in studies.He was starting to get jealous of Matt, and I could tell.“Where are you? I want to see you.”“I am at my dorm.”“Okay, can I come to your room and sit with you?” he begged.“Sit and do what? Xander, you know it will not work. You will distract me.” I lied, but I knew what was important at that moment.“Fine,” he snorted, making me feel bad. “Girls would die to meet me, and you—you have changed, Aoife. You

    ~Aoife~"Where are you? I was worried sick. You left the room without a word," I scolded him."I'm so sorry for not answering your call. I'm at the hospital. My mom fell down the stairs, and she has a broken arm," I could hear the distress in his voice.“I am so sorry to hear that. I want to come to see her.” I spoke.He sent me the details and immediately, I called Matt back and informed him about Xander’s mom’s condition. Within a few minutes, Matt came to pick me up.“How did this happen?” "I don't know. After your call, he told me about his mother. I hope she's alright," I replied."I don't understand why he didn't call me," Matt expressed his confusion.“Let’s go see.”We arrived at the hospital and after checking with the front desk, we ended up standing in front of the VIP room."Hey, I think I forgot to lock the car. You go ahead. I'll join you in a few minutes," Matt said and left. I was unsure if Xander was inside or not, and I was hesitant to enter the room. I waited and

    ~Xander~It was good to hear my girl’s voice after a few days. I was caught up in mom’s health, and I totally forgot to call her. Aunt Joey called me from the hospital when this incident happened. Hastily, I drove towards the hospital without thinking. Raph was not even there to take her to the hospital. He went to New York for our company’s work. Luckily, Zareena reached out to me and helped me a lot during this tough time.Mom had an elbow operation, and it would take a week before she’d be discharged from the hospital.I was busy calling Raph and updating him about mom’s condition when I saw Zareena at the front desk.“Hey, what are you doing here? Mom is alone in her room?” “Uh, nothing. I was asking about her medicine. Matt and Aoife are here to meet her.”“They are?”We walked upstairs when I saw Aoife cupping his face and snuggling her head into Matt’s chest.I felt a little awkward. I wanted to know the reason for them getting close to each other. While I was trying to figure

    ~Aoife~A wall of thoughts deployed one after another, capturing the dread of betrayal. Anxiety curbed my sight, and I ran aimlessly, trying to calm my suffocation. I couldn’t pinpoint what hurt me the most. Is it the lie or the closeness I witnessed with Zareena? But why was I running? This is what I always do. No, I am not the girl who runs from her challenges, but why didn’t I feel the courage to confront him? Is it because I had a hidden fear that he would break my heart and leave me when I needed him the most?I didn’t realize when the anxiety turned into tears, and I bumped into something. I heard a groan, only to see it was not the wall but a man.“Look out, miss.”The train of thoughts shattered, and the wall of fear was replaced with an unknown voice brushing my ears, bringing me back to my senses. Then I realized my smoothie had splashed on his clothes.“Sorry.” The vulnerability inside me could come out in screams, but only in whispers of gagging.“Are you okay, miss?” He p

    ~Aoife~I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as I prepared for my wedding day. The room was filled with love and happiness, and Neeral was helping fix my perfect bun, adjusting my veil. I finally looked at myself in the mirror, and tears welled up in my eyes.“It feels like I’m dreaming,” I breathed, my voice filled with emotion.“No, you’re not. This is what you’ve always wanted,” a familiar voice came from the corner of the room. I turned and saw Gabriel and Angel walking towards me.“Congratulations,” Angel said, hugging me tightly.“Thank you.” Gabriel cupped my face and gently kissed the top of my head. “I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen now.” “What do you mean?” “You’re pregnant.” Confusion furrowed my brow. “That means Xander should be prepared to get his ass kicked by you.” He chuckled. We all laughed, enjoying the lighthearted moment.“No, I’ve done this before, and I know how to compose myself.” “No, you don’t know how to comp

    ~Aoife~My eyes welled up with tears as I listened to Matt and Neeral’s story, realizing the depth of their love and the challenges they had faced. Even Xander, sitting beside me, seemed lost in his thoughts, his gaze fixed on them. Matt, seated next to Neeral, gently caressed her belly and planted a tender kiss on her head, a gesture filled with love and anticipation.“This is our story,” he said, a smile gracing his face as he glanced towards us, his friends. The room fell into an awkward silence as the weight of their emotional journey settled upon us. Unable to contain my emotions, I stood up and embraced Neeral tightly, feeling gratitude for the strength and love she had shown even when Matt was filled with hatred.“Thank you for loving him when he hated you,” I whispered, my voice choking with emotion. Then I turned to Matt and hugged him as well. “And thank you for loving her when she lost all hope in you.”Xander nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging the profound impact

    ~Neeral~Eight Months Later…It had been eight long months since I last laid eyes on Matt, yet my heart still ached from the moment I left him. When he unexpectedly showed up in Seattle, seeking my forgiveness, I foolishly allowed a glimmer of hope to flicker within me. But I soon realized that it was nothing more than a gesture of a gentleman asking for forgiveness, devoid of any deeper feelings. In an attempt to distance myself, I cut off all social contacts and disappeared from social media, keeping a low profile.I didn’t know if I was hiding from Matt or simply afraid of what might transpire if he discovered I was now residing in Austin. I had started a new job at a local publication house, which paid enough for me to survive. I rented a house with new friends, and everything seemed to be going well. However, every weekend served as a reminder of my solitude, as my friends would retreat to their families’ or boyfriends’ houses. To fool my longing heart, I sometimes found myself s

    ~Neeral~Despite having crushed Taylor’s heart, he selflessly requested that I stay and help him finish the work in Seattle before I left for Austin. I agreed, feeling a sense of responsibility towards him. He didn’t complain or question me about the person responsible for his heartbreak. His kindness and understanding only intensified my guilt.Taylor had planned a farewell dinner for me, but he had to leave abruptly due to his father’s illness. He apologized and asked me to stay in Seattle for another week to assist him. As he departed, I found myself alone in the chilly city, fully engrossed in completing the pending work before my departure.Returning to my cottage, I was greeted by John and his wife, who had been taking care of the place. They had prepared a delicious meal for me, and I thanked them with a smile. However, the atmosphere took a sudden turn when John informed me that someone had come looking for me earlier but refused to provide his name.Confused, I frowned and ca

    ~Matt~Mending a broken heart felt like an impossible task, akin to building a sandcastle in a perpetually wet place. No matter how hard I tried, a wave would inevitably crash upon me, obliterating everything I had painstakingly constructed. How foolish was I to find myself in the same situation again?I had developed a special connection with Neeral, only to witness her accepting Taylor’s ring. Falling in love once more required effort, but I failed to nurture it. Our story seemed to leap to its climax before it even had a chance to begin.When Taylor proposed to her, I struggled to understand how I should react. Should I direct my anger toward him or at myself? I didn’t dare express my feelings to her, and she didn’t wait for me either. We shared a bond, but my confusion persisted. Was it friendship or something more? An unsettling fear crawled beneath my skin.What if I told her how I felt, and she left me like Aoife did? What if I asked her to wait, allowing me to discern if my em

    ~Neeral~After my heartfelt conversation with Taylor, I returned home. He had expressed his love for me with such joy, but Matt’s reaction to my proposal left me astounded. Why did he act like such a jerk? He had never seen me as anything more than a friend, so why did it seem like he was unhappy?With a stack of files in my hands, I struggled to open the door to my house. It was already 8 o’clock, and Matt wasn’t home. I called him, but he didn’t answer. I sent him a message, and I saw the three dots indicating that he was typing, but no reply came.Feeling a mix of worry and frustration, I decided to take a quick shower, prepare dinner, and keep myself busy with work. I waited for him at the dinner table for a long time, but he never showed up.My eyes wandered to the ring Taylor had given me. It was beautiful, and it brought a faint smile to my face. Perhaps one day, I would be able to love Taylor as deeply as I had loved Matt.Lost in my thoughts, my phone chimed. It was Taylor on

    ~Neeral~It had been two weeks since that horrible incident happened to me, and a strange feeling of suffocation took hold of my heart. I thought I could survive as Matt’s friend, but the closer we got, the more I felt myself drowning in pain. I couldn’t see myself as just his friend anymore. This realization reached its peak when he referred to me as his close friend in front of his family.Last weekend, we went to meet his parents. They welcomed me with open arms. It felt nice because I missed my mom so much. Matt told them about Aoife and Xander, and it surprised his parents to hear about those incidents. They were happy that I stood by Matt’s side, but I cursed myself for creating so much pain for myself. I was foolish to let him enter my heart, and now it was enough. I needed to move on.I created profiles on dating apps, hoping to find someone who would help me forget about Matt. However, my bad luck struck again when he saw an email notification from a dating app on my laptop.“

    “Matt!” I screamed, desperation and fear filling my voice.Suddenly, someone forcibly pulled him away from me, and all I could hear was Victor’s agonized scream before I heard his feet on the floor as he rushed out of the house. Matt came barging back into the room, and as my senses slowly returned, I scrambled to cover my nakedness.Shivering and bleeding from my lips, I looked up at Matt, hoping for his protection and salvation. He scratched my face and body, leaving visible marks of his assault, and all I wanted was to be safe in Matt’s arms. “Hey, are you okay?” Matt’s voice trembled with concern as he hurried to my side. He grabbed a bedsheet and gently wrapped it around me, shielding me from the world’s harshness. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn’t help but feel disgusted when I looked at myself.“It’s all my fault... I am worthless,” I whimpered, my voice filled with self-loathing.Matt’s eyes widened with disbelief, and he reached out to touch my trembling shoulder.
