Love, lies and, secrets 34. It was nice while it lasted
ANNA It's already past 12 and I knew that I should be getting some sleep now because I had a flight to catch tomorrow but I couldn't fall asleep because I knew that Alejandro was going to show up here and I've also been lost in my thoughts concerning what happened between Kelvin and me earlier. I honestly couldn't understand why I couldn't get over it but what I was certain about was that the kiss that happened between Kelvin was completely different from the last time we kissed and I just couldn't wrap my head around why I didn't push him off me like I did the last time and why I don't hate that it happened. I felt very weird about it because I was very certain that I didn't have any sort of romantic feelings towards Kelvin but I just couldn't understand why I enjoyed making out with him and why I was still thinking about it. I let out a frustrated sigh, not knowing what else to do and how else to understand my messed-up feelings. I wanted to get some sleep because I felt really t
Love, lies and, secrets 35. Goodbye
ALEJANDRO"Where were you?" As soon as I walked back into the room, I heard Alice's voice ask and immediately got nervous because I wasn't expecting her to be awake and when I turned on the lights, she was seated on the bed with her arms folded across her chest. I cleared my throat nervously as I thought of a reasonable lie to come up with so she doesn't suspect anything. "I hope I didn't worry you, babe. I was feeling kind of suffocated and stressed out so I went out to get some fresh air and get myself together before coming back to bed," I lied.She furrowed her brows. "Are you sure everything is okay with you babe? I've noticed that you've been going out a lot more nowadays and you're always going out to get some fresh air and think about something and I'm starting to get worried. Are you certain that everything is okay or is there something that you're keeping from me?" she asked, getting up from the bed and walking towards me."I'm not keeping anything from you, babe. I've ju
Love, lies and, secrets 36. In a relationship
ANNAI felt someone wrap their hand around my waist and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the ground and spun around."Oh my goodness Theo, what is wrong with you?" I questioned with a giggle when I realized that it was Theo. "Stop it Theodore and put me down," I said, still giggling at how childish he was but he wouldn't stop and I'm not even surprised anymore.After thinking long and hard about it, I finally accepted to be Theo's trial girlfriend for a month and it's been almost a week now since we came to this agreement. Unsurprisingly, he hasn't stopped hanging around me and doing the craziest things since I accepted to be his trial girlfriend. I could still vividly remember how he reacted after I accepted his request because of how embarrassed I felt that day, not just for myself, but also for Theo because he didn't stop grinning like a child and acting like a lovestruck puppy. He also made sure to announce to everyone that we came across that I accepted to be his gir
Love, lies and, secrets 37. Boyfriend
ANNAI cleared my throat nervously as I prepared myself to introduce Kelvin to Theodore. "You're mistaken, Kelvin. He isn't my friend is my boyfriend and as you can see, we were having lunch together," I corrected him immediately. I had purposely said what I said because I wanted Kelvin to realise that a relationship between myself and him was never going to happen and I needed him to back off and stop trying to walk into my life like he deserved a spot in my life. He and I would never be anything no matter what he did to change my mind and I just wanted him to forget about me and leave me alone. I noticed how his eyes trailed back and forth between Theo and me and he had his brows furrowed almost as though he was trying to comprehend what I had just said. I could tell that he was genuinely surprised and I felt a little bad for him but I didn't regret introducing Theo as my boyfriend. "Did you just say boyfriend or did I hear wrongly?" he asked and I so badly wanted to roll my eye
Love, lies and, secrets 38. In his care
Chapter 38ANNA"Tell me the truth Anna, are you sure you're okay?" Theodore asked and I shook my head affirmatively to let him know that I was fine. I usually always have terrible cramps whenever I was on my period so the pain I was going through now wasn't anything new to me. I already told him several times that I would be fine and that the pain wasn't going to kill me but trust Theo to overreact. "As I said earlier Theodore, it's just period cramps and I'm going to be fine. All I need to do is go home and get some rest and I cannot show you that I'll be perfectly fine once I do that," I assured him again for the umpteenth time."Okay babe, if you say so but if you need anything, anything at all, don't hesitate to call me immediately," he replied and I simply rolled my eyes at how dramatic he was being. He pulled me closer to him and we made our way back to my dorm so I could get some rest and get myself together. You didn't take too long before we arrived back at my dorm and Th
Love, lies and, secrets 39. Eight babies
ALEJANDROIt's been over two weeks since Anna left and in the two weeks that she has gone, I haven't heard from her or been able to reach her since then and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss her a lot and I wasn't craving to see her. I tried calling your number several times but each time I called, a number was always unavailable and after trying a few more times, I realised then that she must have blocked me and I was very disappointed by that. I knew that it was wrong of me to keep thinking about her because I could understand that Anna was only ignoring me because she wanted things between us to come to an end completely and for me to focus on Alice but I just couldn't get her out of my head and no matter how hard I tried to, she just kept clouding my thoughts and I couldn't help my feelings. My relationship with Alice has been affected by this because I haven't been able to concentrate on her ever since Anna left and every time we tried making love, it never goes smooth
Love, lies and, secrets 40. Comparison
ANNATheodore and I were currently standing in front of one of the most expensive brand stores and I stood still, mentally contemplating whether or not to go in. I had told him a few days ago that I wanted to go shopping for new clothes but that I didn't think I could budget to get new clothes until I had gotten an allowance from my parents. I also didn't want to collect any money from Alice even though she offered to give me an allowance but I refused because it didn't seem right to me. I had just told him about the situation because he and I were talking about random things and I didn't expect him to take it to heart or anything like that but suddenly he showed up at my place earlier today and told me to get in the car with him. I had asked him several times to tell me where we were headed but he didn't say anything and now all of a sudden, we arrived here. "I don't understand what's going through that head of yours, Theodore. I already said that I didn't have money to do any sho
Love, lies and, secrets 41. D day
ANNAI nervously walked into the restaurant where Theo had asked us to meet. He had called last night and we agreed that we were going to meet here and talk about everything that needed to be said once and for all. At first, I didn't want us to meet outdoors cause I preferred that we stayed in and discussed between ourselves but Theodore had insisted that he wanted us to talk outside and I decided to agree with his request. Today was the last day of our trial relationship and it was also the day that I would be giving him a response. I was feeling very nervous and anxious at the same time because I really wanted to avoid going this far with him but now that the day had come, I knew that there was nothing I could do besides prepare myself to speak to him even though I knew that his feelings would eventually be hurt and that things between us get awkward after today, I had no other choice but to do what I needed to do because it would be best for both Theodore and me if we could settl
