Blissful Encounter (Alexa Bliss x OC)

...To Be Loved

Jackson sat at his desk, his laptop open in front of him, but his mind still consumed by thoughts of Livvy. He needed to reach out to her and have a conversation, to unravel the mysteries of their connection and determine where they stood.

Taking a deep breath, Jackson composed a text message to Livvy. He wanted to meet her somewhere quiet, where they could talk openly and honestly. After a few moments of careful consideration, he hit the send button and waited for her response.

Minutes turned into what felt like an eternity before Livvy's reply finally appeared on his screen. She agreed to meet him at a small coffee shop downtown, a place known for its cozy atmosphere and privacy.

Feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness, Jackson made his way to the coffee shop, his mind racing with the possibilities of their conversation. He found Livvy already sitting at a corner table, a steaming cup of coffee in front of her.

"Hey," Jackson greeted her, sliding into the seat opposite her. "Thanks for meeting me."

Livvy smiled warmly. "Of course, Jackson. I've been thinking about our encounter earlier today and what it meant for both of us."

Jackson nodded, his gaze locked with hers. "I've been doing the same. There's something undeniable between us, Livvy. I can't ignore it, but I also can't pretend that it doesn't complicate things."

Livvy's expression mirrored his sincerity. "I feel it too, Jackson. But we need to be cautious and considerate. We can't rush into anything without understanding the consequences."

Jackson leaned forward, his voice filled with determination. "I don't want to make any impulsive decisions, Livvy. I care about you, and I care about Alexa too. I want to find a way through this situation with what is right and best for us."

Livvy reached out and placed her hand on Jackson's, her touch grounding him. "I appreciate your honesty, Jackson. It's important that we right way and try to respect the wishes for everyone involved."

They spent the next few hours deep in conversation, sharing their fears, hopes, and uncertainties. They recognized the complexity of their emotions and the potential impact their choices could have on others. It was a difficult conversation, but one that was necessary for them to move forward.

As the evening drew to a close, they came to a mutual agreement. They would take things slowly, allowing themselves time to understand their feelings better and consider the seriousness of their actions. They would communicate openly and honestly, ensuring that no one was left in the dark or confused about anything.

With a newfound sense of clarity and a shared understanding, Jackson and Livvy parted ways. They knew that their journey would not be easy, but they were committed to navigating through all of it together.

Over the following days, Jackson continued to have heartfelt conversations with both Alexa and Livvy. He explained his feelings very emotionally,  honestly, and openly, ensuring that everyone knew where people stood and that they were informed and involved in the process. It wasn't always easy, and there were moments of heartache and confusion, but they all recognized the importance of facing their emotions head-on.

As time passed, Jackson discovered that his connection with Livvy ran deep, but he also realized the significance of his bond with Alexa. They each had their unique strengths and qualities, and Jackson treasured what they brought into his life.

Eventually, Jackson made the difficult decision to end his romantic feeling for Alexa for the time being. Deciding that it was better to do it in person, so he had arranged for Alexa to meet him at the park to end things for now. 

Jackson and Alexa sat on the park bench, their faces etched with a mixture of sadness and resignation. The air was heavy with unspoken words as they both knew what needed to be said.

"Jackson," Alexa started, her voice trembling with a mix of emotions. "I've been thinking a lot about what you said the other day. About your feelings for Livvy."

Jackson lowered his gaze, his heart heavy. "Alexa, I care about you so much, but I can't deny the connection I have with Livvy. It's tearing me apart, and I don't want to lead you on."

Tears welled up in Alexa's eyes as she nodded, a lump forming in her throat. "I understand, Jackson. I can see it in your eyes. The way you look at her, the way you talk about her. It's different."

Jackson reached out to hold Alexa's hand, his touch gentle and comforting. "I never meant to hurt you, Alexa. You mean so much to me, and this decision is tearing me apart too. But I can't ignore what my heart is telling me."

Alexa's voice quivered as she struggled to maintain her composure. "I thought we had something special, Jackson. I believed in us, in what we could build together."

A tear escaped Jackson's eye as he squeezed Alexa's hand tighter. "We did have something special, Alexa. And that's what makes this so incredibly difficult. But I can't deny my own feelings, and I can't keep pretending."

A sob escaped Alexa's lips as she buried her face in her hands. "I don't know how to move on from this. It feels like my whole world is falling apart."

Jackson's voice cracked as he fought back his own tears. "I'll be here for you, Alexa. As a friend, as someone who cares deeply about you. We can support each other through this."

Alexa looked up, her eyes filled with pain. "I don't know if I can be just friends, Jackson. Not right now, not when my heart is breaking."

"I understand," Jackson whispered, his voice heavy with regret. "Take all the time you need, Alexa. I won't rush you into anything. Just know that I'll always be here for you."

They sat in silence for a while, the weight of their words hanging in the air. The love they once shared had become a bittersweet memory, and the future felt uncertain and daunting.

Finally, Alexa spoke, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and determination. "I think it's best if we take some time apart, Jackson. To heal and find our own paths. Maybe, one day, we can reconnect as friends, but right now, it's too painful."

Jackson nodded, his heart breaking for both of them. "I respect your decision, Alexa. Just know that you've had a huge impact on my life, and I'll always cherish the time we spent together."

They shared one last embrace, holding onto each other tightly, before slowly letting go. It was a farewell filled with unspoken words and a profound sense of loss.

As they walked away from the park bench, their paths diverging, Jackson couldn't help but look back, a heavy ache in his chest. The road ahead was uncertain with Livvy, but he knew that both he and Alexa needed to find their own way to heal and move forward.

With his decision made, Jackson found comfort in knowing that he had been true to himself and to those he cared about. Life moved forward, and while the path ahead remained uncertain, he faced it with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.

In the end, Jackson understood that love was not always simple or straightforward. It could be messy, complicated, and unpredictable. But he also learned that by navigating it with honesty, compassion, and a willingness to face difficult decisions, he could find his way to a future filled with success, love, and positivity
