You could say you miss all that we had
But I don't really care how bad it hearts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
After exchanging those words with Xerxes, I sunk onto my arm chair and ran my fingers through my hair.
So that just happened but everything was going to be alright. I've survived once, a second time will definitely be easier and at least now I know what not to do if I'm, planning on entering another relationship
Positive thinking.
I can't let the voices in my head win. Voices that tell me that I am not an enough. Voices that tell me that I will never be good enough.
I don't want to loose control over my life.
So instead of drowning my problems and heartbreak in depression and alcohol, I'd rather take a positive turn and block it all out until I'm ready to face it all.
As I kept on giving myself a pep talk, a knock sounded
"Come on in"
It was one of the Omegas. Samaya if I wasn't wrong
I slipped my mask on and smiled
Fake it till you make it..
"Good afternoon Andrea, I'm so sorry for bothering you but there is a man outside who claims to know you and he is seeking an audience. I told him to come back tomorrow but he insists on seeing you right now"
"Did he give you a name?"
"Yes, I believe he mentioned his name. Lucien to be exact."
Lucien? Never heard of that name but what did I have to loose.
If he had any bad intentions he wouldn't come during the day and announce his arrival
"Okay send him in Samaya"
"Are you sure Andrea,I have never seen him before, he might have bad intentions "
"Than it's a good thing you'll be right outside and besides,I f he tries something I will yell for help"
"Okay Andrea "
She soon left and after a minute or two a man soon entered.
I took to analyse him and try to remember where I had seen him from
He was about 6'2 ,his eyes were a warm honey brown let's not forget about his jaw and we'll built body.
He was wearing cargo pants and a tight fitting black top
One thing I also noticed was that his eyes never left mine during that entire time
"Nice to finally meet you when you are sobber Andrea"
Now that made everything click
The man from the bar
"I don't know if I should be embarrassed or impressed on how thick you skin is for showing up here at this time"
"I see you still have your special sense of humor"
"Thank you for bringing me back safely that day and sorry for any unnecessary troubles that I may have given you"
I ushered him to take a seat and asked Samaya to bring some refreshments
"That was no big deal, besides , you entertained me thoroughly that day, with your stories, just your stories "
"I almost forgot that you are a pervert with perverted tendencies"
"A pervert? Me? I am hurt. You think so low of me "
That made me smile
Like a real honest smile.
He was actually...funny?
Samaya soon came in with the refreshments and left but not before growling rather softly at my male guest.
Love you Samaya
"So what brings you here. I hope it's not a reward that you seek for bringing me home"
"What if it's a reward that I seek?"
"Well just so you know, I'm broke so I have no cash"
"I didn't peg you as a poor person"
"I know , because of this face of mine, people tend to think that I'm rich. It so tiring at times to have this face of a billionaire"
"Maybe I should make you my wife and reduce the heavy burdens that your face brings to you. You know, I'm quite attractive, according to the ladies and you being my wife would chase all unwantedales away"..
That made me laugh
"I don't even know who you are and here you are joking about us getting married".
"How could. I be so foolish. I should have started by introducing myself huh"
"Well that would be very helpful"
"Well I am...."
The door slammed open revealing a livid Bella
"You good for nothing son of rich bitch!"
And then Bella hit him across the face
Okay ,this development was unexpected
"You promised not to make my baby girl feel bad. I should have never set you on a blind date with her that day. Do you know how bad she felt when you said those hurtful words to her. So what ,you are stinking rich but that doesn't mean that we other poor people do t have the right to want happiness and you..."
"Umm Bella?"
"Don't worry Andrea, I'm going to hit some sense into him in a minute"
"Bella, he isn't the guy I was with during the blind date"I said as I tried to hold her so that she could stay still
Lucien in the other hand was trying hard to hold in his laugh
He found this whole situation funny
"You son of a .... You didn't even go to the date and let some random guy show up! I am so going to kill you"...,
"Bella I need you to calm down. Go take a walk outside then come back when your wolf is a bit calm okay "I said softly
She gave the guy, Lucien, a cold glare before leaving
"I'm pretty sure that she hates me right now"
"So you were supposed to be my blind date that day huh"
"I should apologize. You see , I was to come initially,but I got held up in my office and one of my cousins somehow got wind of it and so, he came to the venue without my knowledge
He said something about me not deserving any woman and that I am meant to die alone,so I'm sorry for what he might have said that day"
"Well this is another unexpected development "
I sighed as I went back to my seat
"I'm really sorry. I would have called but Bella blocked my number and I couldn't even apologize because I hadn't known who you are but as soon as I got your details,I was planning to rush here but then we met at the bar instead.
You were not sobber so that didn't count but here I am now trying to salvage the damage and problem I caused "
"You're such a sweetheart " I laughed it off because I was sure that he didn't know how much his words affected me
None of the males I've been with had ever done this before
They would either shift the blame to someone else or shift the blame on me so when he took the blame and apologized , that did something to me
"But for real, I am sorry for any damage or problem that Amy have risen that day"
"It's okay Lucien, it wasn't even your fault but if it helps ,you're forgiven"
"Oh good. That's a relief. Now if you don't mind can we start over again, as friends of course, I wouldn't want to complicate already complicated situations"
"How much did I say that night?"
"A lot for me to understand what is currently going on but ,you made me swear an oath of secrecy that night so don't worry your secrets are safe with me"
"So you know everything, about my ex mate and.."
"Everything "
"And you still chose to stay and approach me"
"Yes I did"
"But why"
"Because I know a rare diamond when I see one, otherwise,how would I become this rich",
"Lucien I..."
Suddenly, howls rented the air
What could be going on. Lucien noticed my state of panic and rushed towards me
"Relax, it's nothing to be worried about"
Several howls soon joined in
"Then why are they howling?"
"It's kind of pretty good new infact"
"What news?"
"The alpha has finally found and marked his Luna"
