When A Bully Falls In Love 100
~Aoife~I woke up in the morning, my body filled with excitement and curiosity about the day ahead. Xander emerged from the bathroom, his towel wrapped around his waist. I couldn’t help but admire his physique, licking my lips unconsciously.“Everything okay?” A mischievous wink accompanied his question as I sat next to him on the bed.“Hmm... I’m just curious about who we’re going to meet.” He stood before me with his gaze locked with mine. My eyes trailed from his towel to his well-defined chest, and then back to his eyes. “No, I’m not checking you out,” I teased, raising an eyebrow.“Then why are you looking at me like you want me?” he asked, his lips dangerously close to mine.I blinked, the sapphire of my eyes shining with desire. Gently lifting his chin with my index finger, I brushed my lips against his, barely touching. “I think you should wear your clothes” I chuckled, tugging at his towel.“What the fuck, Aoife? Alex can see me. Give me my towel back,” Xander growled, attem

~Aoife~The next day, we reached Austin after a quick journey by flight. I could feel the excitement bubbling inside me as we approached the city. I was looking forward to seeing my old friend, Neeral. While buckling Alex’s seatbelt, I turned to Xander and asked, “How do you know Neeral?”“Oh my God, Aoife. You’re so impatient. You’ve asked me this question like ten times since yesterday.” Xander rolled his eyes playfully. I scowled at him, which only made him chuckle. He walked over to me and cupped my face in his hands.“Calm down. You’ll know everything in due time,” he said, giving me a quick peck on the nose. My anger melted away, and a smile spread across my face. “That’s better,” I replied.“I’m spoiling you.” Xander raised an eyebrow teasingly.“It’s not spoiling. It’s love. And I deserve it, don’t I?” I crossed my arms over my chest. Xander pulled me into a tight hug, and I couldn’t help but feel warm and safe in his arms.“All you deserve is for me to fill you with my lov

~Aoife~As evening fell, we gathered in the living room, our kids happily playing around. It was a surreal moment, reuniting with the person I loved most and my best friend after such a long time. There was so much to catch up on, yet it felt like there were no words to express our emotions adequately. We exchanged smiles, and Xander settled next to me while Neeral relaxed in a recliner.“So, when is the due date?” I asked, breaking the silence with a simple question.“Anytime,” Matt replied, leaning over to peck a kiss on Neeral’s head. It warmed my heart to see him taking care of her like that. I couldn’t help but compliment him silently, knowing how lucky Neeral was to have him in her life. Or perhaps, I should say that Matt was fortunate to have her.Lost in my thoughts, appreciating the love between them, I felt Xander touch my hand. “I’m sure Aoife wants to say that we’re happy to see you both together.” Happiness filled my eyes as I nodded in agreement. “I never imagined I wou

~Aoife~“Dinner is served, ladies,” Matt called out to us.We gathered with the children and made our way to the dining table, only to find it filled with an array of delicious dishes. Neeral smiled, her hunger evident, especially with a hungry baby inside her.Matt filled her plate and passed it to her. “Thank you,” she smiled and pecked a kiss on Matt’s cheek. I couldn’t help but admire them, feeling a warm air brush against my ears.“You, I want that mood back in bed?” Xander whispered in a husky voice, causing a blush to creep up on my cheeks. We enjoyed our dinner, savoring the delicious food prepared with love and care.After putting the children to sleep, we found ourselves in the living room, comfortably holding wine glasses. Neeral was absent, tending to her baby.“The food was delicious. Thank you, Matt,” I hummed, earning a growl from Xander. “I mean, thanks to you too,” I pouted in Xander’s direction.“Thank you.” Matt rolled his eyes at Xander’s reaction.“So, tell me,

~Matt~The next day, I tried to push aside my health concerns and prepared myself for the office, but something felt off. Ignoring my well-being, I went ahead and entered the office. We began our meeting for the next editorial project, but my head started spinning. I felt a sudden wave of nausea washing over me, and I quickly made my way to the restroom. I emptied the contents of my stomach, feeling completely drained.After cleaning myself up, I left the restroom door slightly ajar. Just then, a voice whispered in my ear, and a hand grabbed me, pulling me out of the office.“You’re going to see a doctor,” Neeral asserted, her determination evident. I tried to protest, insisting that I was fine, but she insisted on driving me there. We arrived at the doctor’s office, and after examining me, the doctor diagnosed me with food poisoning and emphasized the need for rest and home-cooked meals.“Why are you eating food from outside? Don’t you cook at home? I thought you did,” Neeral asked,

~Matt~I shifted and busied myself with arranging my belongings, not noticing when evening descended upon us. The sound of a soothing voice filled the air, drawing my attention. I turned the knob of my room and peered into the kitchen. There was Neeral, lost in her world as she sang along with her earplugs in.“I need somebody to heal, somebody to know. Somebody to have, somebody to hold...” Her voice resonated with the lyrics of Lewis Capaldi’s song. She was making her coffee, completely unaware of my presence. I found myself drawn to the kitchen, silently making my way toward her.Startled, she turned around and quickly removed her earplugs. “Sorry, I forgot about you...”“Do you have an extra cup of coffee for me?” I smiled, my gaze fixated on her face.She nodded and extended her cup toward me. As she turned to retreat into her room, I called out to her. “Would you mind sitting here with me?”We settled on different couches, facing each other. The air was filled with a hint of awk

~Matt~The next day, we arrived at the office and got busy with our work. We had planned to go out for lunch that day. As I walked towards her cabin, I noticed that she wasn’t there. I called my colleague, who informed me that she had left the office a few minutes ago.“What?” I exclaimed, trying to process the information. “Yeah, she went out for lunch, I guess,” my colleague replied casually.“With Victor?” I asked, feeling a pang of unease. Why would she go out with him? She had promised me, but now she had left me hanging here.“Well, I guess I’ll have to go alone,” I muttered to myself. I left the office and decided to walk to the nearest food court. As I arrived there, I saw her talking to Victor. It seemed like they were having a heated argument, with her expressing her anger while Victor tried to control his.“What’s going on?” I called out to her, reaching for my phone to get her attention. However, she looked at my phone and abruptly ended the call, so I tried calling her

~Matt~The next day, as I prepared myself for the office. Neeral approached me with a bright smile, holding a cup of coffee. “Matt, here’s your coffee, just the way you like it.”But her lie lingered in my heart, poisoning any joy I might have found in her gesture. “I don’t need it, thanks,” I replied coldly, brushing past her before driving off to the office.I kept myself occupied with work, trying to push aside the turmoil within me. Suddenly, I noticed someone placing a brown bag on my desk. I looked up and saw Neeral standing next to me.“I brought lunch for us,” she said, her voice filled with hope.I rolled my eyes and walked out without a word. “I don’t want it.” She looked so hurt, and I knew I was being rude to her, but I couldn’t comprehend what was happening to me. She had lied, and I couldn’t stomach the fact.When I returned home from the office, I immersed myself in a soccer match, losing track of time. But as the clock struck eleven, reality hit me. She still hadn’t c

~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.
