Short story
Eversince I moved to Velvetton, only one guy had caught my eyes. I occasionally saw him when I would take walks. He usually dressed in black and white. That's probably his favorite color. Sometimes he moved alone and other times he moved with his friends. I wanted to ask for his number but I was too shy. One Saturday morning I mustered courage to ask for his number when we would cross paths.
The next day I took a stroll, I saw him, finally, after waiting for 22 hours, 28 minutes and 13 seconds. I approached him and we began to chat. Slowly I got to know a few things about Ronny. But....I needed to know more. So..well..I began to stalk him, it's not stalking when you're in love right???
Following him everywhere he went was super easy cause we were neighbors. Eventually I knew almost everything about him. Where he went, at which hours and why. But....I still didn't know if he was single or not. Not like it mattered but I had to know if there was an obstacle in our love story. Until I saw him walking with a girl, they held hands and when it was time to part ways...he kissed her.
That broke my heart into pieces, I hated that girl. I had to find out who she was and everything about her. Her name was Erin, 16, first born, her favorite color was yellow, he was her 5th boyfriend and she had a birthmark on her inner thigh. She frequently visited the Cafe at around 4pm sharp. I wasn't about to lose to a such a girl so well...I put my plan into action. The plan that would save my man from her clutches.
He had to leave that witch and come back to me. I tried everything but nothing worked, it seems like she had cast a spell on him. My family and friends told me to let go before it's too late, but I wasn't going to let go of my first love. The one made for me. I wouldn't lose to a girl like Erin.
I hate how he posted her and caressed her lovingly. I hated it with all of me. That should be me not her. I had to get back what was mine no matter the cost. I befriended Erin's bestie so as to get close to her but I was never included in their plans.
That got me going mad with anger. I wanted to give up but then I reminded myself. " The greatest love stories have the greatest obstacles." Erin was just one of them.
I would do anything just to have Ronny. And I know he loves me too. Maybe he's just shy or Erin blackmails him. Yes that's it.
A moth later, Ronny invited me to go out with his friends, Erin and her friends. Yes, finally, he must be trying to find time for us to spend together. Alone. Just the two of us. Ronny and Bianca. We could name our first child Ronca.
We traveled to Mount Port. It was quite far from Velvetton but at least Ronny was there with me. I tried to get close to him but Erin always got in my way. She was one big obstacle in our love story. I spent the whole day trying to get him to be alone with him. But that witch always got in my way. I DESPISE HER.
Night time arrived and we still didn't spend time together. One by one everyone went to their tents leaving only the two of us. Erin and I. I spoke to her sweetly and asked if she could accompany me to watch the stars and lake.
We spoke, laughed and bonded. And in the middle of our bonding, I decided to confess.
Bianca : I like Ronny.
She froze.
Erin : What........
Bianca : Actually I love Ronny, he's the love of my life.
Erin : What do you mean by that.
He's my boyfriend and he has no feelings for you whatsoever!
Bianca : He loves me too. I know it. My heart says so. You're the one making him think that he doesn't. He speaks sweetly to me.
Erin : He's my boyfriend okay? He only speaks sweetly to you because he's a gentleman.
Bianca : YOU'RE LYING!! HE LOVES ME!!
Erin : You're insane! I'm leaving, I'm telling Ronny about this. You better be gone by sunrise.
She stood up looking anxious and creeped out. She was about to leave when I stopped her.
Bianca : Erin! Wait!
I thought of all the times people told me to let go. That he wasn't interested in me. How they kissed and caressed each other. How it should have been me. How it couldn't be me. Her words reverberated in my head, that he was her boyfriend and he had no feelings for me whatsoever.
Bianca : I've decided to let go.
Ronny was heartbroken at first. He felt like he couldn't let go or forget the past. But with time he learned to accept it. With me by his side, Ronny became happier.
We occasionally visit Erin. Spend some time with her. He has moved on now. Now it's just the two of us. Ronny and Bianca. Just the way it should have been.....just the way it will always be.......
