Something About You

Chapter 25 ( Love is bitter sweet)

Now sitting at the table in the diner studying Brett and how much he has changed. His features looked the same just more mature. He looked more handsome than ever . I reached out and caressed his well sculpted jawline. He blushed then took my hand and kissed it . The feel of his lips hitting my soft skin sent a warm feeling to my now throbbing area.

"I missed you every single day Brett,"I said with tears forming in my eyes.

"Don't cry sweetheart I'm here now ," he wiped a tear from my left eye.

I smiled.

"What happened to your beautiful long curly hair Serena ?"

"I cut it ."

"But why?"

"The day I woke in the hospital and heard you moved ,my poor heart couldn't take the pain so with weak and shaky legs I went into the hospital bathroom and cut it all. It represents the love I lost ."

"I'm sorry I hurt you ,but I really couldn't do anything about it."

"What are you doing now in life ?"

"I'm a student doctor ."

"Oh I'm a law student."

"That's great sweetheart!"

"Why so harsh last night?"

"I didn't know it was you until I got home and saw that I had put your purse in my briefcase . At first I almost fainted, but I managed to stay conscious. Serena after I left you I turned into a cold ,hard hearted boy. I met a girl named Suzanne while at med school... "

" Do even say it please, " I could feel the hot tears rolling down my cheeks. The love I thought I could regain was no longer mine.

" Serena please don't cry, " he tried to wipe away the tears, but I pushed his hand away.

" It's okay I understand and I must go now. "
I got up and this time not forgetting my purse. I could hear him sighing and calling my name, but brick hard I walked through the doors of the diner. I cried all the way to the hotel not caring if anyone thought of me as weird or childish. As I entered the hotel lobby I crashed into a lady. She was bleached blonde with a narrow face. Her blue eyes popped with mascara and her full lips bloomed with red lipstick. She was quite tall and really skinny. She was wearing a red skirt suit that had the collar and jacket sleeves lined with Leopard print. I watched her handbag fall to the floor.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry I didn't see you coming. "
I stooped to pick up the handbag and the contents that had fallen out. I noticed a picture of Brett on the floor. I took it up," Are you Suzanne? "

" Yea, why? "she replied looking at me skeptical.

" Congratulations. " I walked away as fast as I could hugging myself.

I cried the whole evening until my eyes were red and puffy. I decided to call my mom and tell her the bitter sweet tale.
The phone rang and she answered on the third ring.

"Hey honey! "she beamed.

I sobbed into the phone and with my voice breaking I managed to croak out," I found Brett. "

" That's great honey! Then why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy? "

" there's someone else, "I sob whispered.

" Oh dear! Oh my sweetie I'm so sorry. Are you going to be fine? Or do you want to come home?"

"I don't know mom... I mean losing him was bad, but the thought of him loving someone else it worse. "

" Oh dear, please just come home. "

" And the worse part is, I bumped into her earlier today. Mom she's too pretty. I cannot match up to her standards. "

" Don't you dare say that. You are one of the most beautiful girls in the world and any man like Brett is worthy of you. "

" She's blonde mom, "I sobbed," she's blonde. "

" Baby it's okay... You'll find another. Don't beat yourself up over one guy. "

" I'll call you back later, okay mom? "with that being said I ended the call.

The door boomed open and Lindsay entered." Girl I got clothes! "she squeaked holding up a bunch of shopping bags.

" Oh, "I said with a fake smile.

" What happened? Spill it! "she dropped all the bags on the carpeted floor.

I told Lindsay the whole story and even the part when I called my mom.

She stood up from sitting on the bed," What a jerk! "

" It's not his fault Lindsay. I was the one stupid enough to believe a guy like Brett would be single after all those years. By the way we are leaving tomorrow morning. "

" What?! But... "

" No buts Lindsay, "I said pressing my index finger on her lips.
I took time to notice my fuchsia nail polish. It's actually a really pretty colour I thought aimlessly.

BRETT'S POV

I couldn't stop thinking about Serena. The way she fled the diner heart broken and I didn't even finish my statement. I had to tell her I'm single and that Suzanne isn't my girlfriend. But how?! I didn't even get the chance to find out which hotel she's staying at.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door and without hesitation I called out 'come in! '
Suzanne entered.

"You should really start getting to the door. It could be important people knocking! "she spoke.

" Oh I see, so you're not important then, "I joked.

Her nose scrunched," Bleh! Whatever! "

I couldn't help, but to chuckle.

She sat down next to me on the couch," Something weird happened today. "

" Well that makes both of us, "I sighed," what happened? "

" I bumped into a short black haired girl at the Prescott's Hotel. Everything from my handbag fell to the floor and then she saw your picture. She was like 'Are you Suzanne?' so I said yes then she yelled 'Congratulations!' and ran off crying. "

My eyes went wide upon hearing what Suzanne recalled. It had to be Serena. I hadn't realized I zoned out until Suzanne snapped her fingers in front of my face." I'm sorry Suzy, what hotel did you say it was again? "

" The Prescott's Hotel. Why? "

" I have some unfinished business to take care of. "

SERENA'S POV

It was 8A.M and I had to leave to catch our 9:30 flight to the airport. I had to mercilessly drag Lindsay out of bed and get dressed.

" I'm hungry, "she whined.

" We'll get breakfast at the airport, yea? "

" Okay. "

Well at least she shut up. Phew!

After half an hour we were headed down to the lobby to check out and get a cab.
Lindsay decided to take the stairs because she claimed it was good exercise, but I on the other was too forlorn so I took the elevator. The elevator doors opened and I couldn't believe who's standing there. Ladies and gentlemen it wasn't Christian Grey, but the one and only Brett Hart.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE <3 NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE LAST ONE BUT I WILL WRITE AN EPILOGUE THOUGH.
