Living in the big city is what you've known for a long time. You weren't every guys' ideal type, but you had a pretty face. Not confident in yourself, you let reading and college take over your life. Being the hard working student that you are, you...
"....I love you, Elijah. I don't want to make this into an issue. I'm just..afraid of losing you. But I'm starting to think your getting tired of us." I frown.
Slowly but surely my eyes start to gloss over. I fought hard to hold back my tears, but I couldn't. Letting my tears fall, they stream down my cheeks. Looking at me Stephen's facial expression turns into a worried look.
He moves near me engulfing me in a tight hug. I bury myself into his chest, and begin to sob even harder. I hiccup a few times. I felt so drained.
The day I met Stephen was such an incredible day. I got to meet the man I was falling for. But now that we were in a relationship. It was like it was slowly falling apart.
It made me feel like we were never meant to be. Maybe I shouldn't have came to Barcelona. I should have left us the way we were. But I knew my heart would have ached to be with him regardless.
Breaking me from my thoughts, Stephen slowly moves me away from his chest. Looking up at him, he wipes my tears away with his thumbs.
Finally, feeling a little better I move back into my original spot on the couch. Feeling embarrassed I look down, and play with my fingers.
"Mi amor, I'm sorry." He kisses my cheek, and gets up from off the couch.
Grabbing the hem of his shirt, I pull him back down. Sitting back down, he looks at me. "You don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault. Honestly, I just want to move pass this. I want us to have a healthy relationship, Elijah. I want us to work." Moving closer to him, I cup his face.
"I love you so much, Elijah." Closing the distance between us, he smashes his lips onto mine.
"I love you too, mi amor. I promise to make this relationship work." He mumbles between our kiss.
Three weeks later, I decided to hangout with Kyla. We really haven't had a girls' day out. So, I thought today would be a great day to hangout. We were currently out at the mall shopping.
"So...You and Stephen are good?" She asks me meekly.
"Uhm..Yeah. We had a little issue, but solved it. He really has been trying to make our relationship work." I answer walking towards the food court.
"Well, I'm asking because I know what happened. I'm surprised your so calm about it. But then again. You two have went through hell and back." Stopping in my tracks, I turn towards her.
"WHAT?!" I yell in confusion.
"About his ex-girlfriend. It's all over the internet, and in magazines. She posted a picture of him and her." Taking out her phone, she unlocks it and clicks into her instagram.
Passing me her phone, I grab it and look down to see a picture of Stephen and his ex laying down together. Not only did she post a picture of the two of them together, but she added a caption too.
