The Love Square, I. Hernandez [e reading malayalam books txt] 📗

Chase and me meant nothing to him. He was to busy getting Steph pregnant to actually care about me. I took the long way to work because I wasn't look forward to being there. I got there just in time. As I walked in the door Mark came over and gave me a hug.

 

Mark: "You're alive"

 

Me: "Indeed I am but take it easy on me today"

 

Mark: "No can do, busy day ahead"

 

Me: "You suck Mark"

 

Mark: "Hahaha, I'm your boss that's my job"

 

Mark walked to the back room and I walked to counter. No sign of Steph or Chase. I wondered were they were but next thing I knew they were walking in the door. They both had big smiles across there faces and they were holding hands. I left my heat break into a thousand pieces and i could feel a tear coming. I turned around and walked to the back. "Everything, Ok?" said Mark. "Oh, um yeah" I said back. I walking in to the restroom and tried to calm myself down. I took a deep breath and walked out to the front and sat down at my desk.

 

Steph: "Please don't tell me your pregnant two?"

 

Me: "Wait...what?"

 

Steph: "I just figured people don't puke for nothing"

 

Me: "No, I'm not pregnant Steph. I'm not a stupid as some girls"

 

Steph: "Oh really?"

 

Me: "Ya really, Why would I ruin my life this young. How stupid don't you think"

 

Before I even finish walking she had tears running down her face. I didn't feel bad I meant what I said and I hope Chase heard me. He got up and walked over to Steph and hugged her. She stepped back and walked to the restroom. Mark heard her and came to the front.

 

Mark: "Is something going on, I mean I've never had to people crying on the same day"

 

Chase: "No everything is fine, Steph just gets to emotional"

 

Mark: "Personal issue stay out of work, you understand"

 

Me: "Ya boss"

 

Mark walked to the back and Chase just stood there looking at me.

 

Me: "Can I help you"

 

Chase: "What's your problem, Alie"

 

Me: "What's my problem, why don't you tell me"

 

Chase: "It's nothing Alie, it's none of your business"

 

Me: "Fine...I don't care anyways. What happened between you and me was the dumbest and biggest mistake of my life. I hope you and Steph are happy together."

 

Chase: "Alie, p..please don't say that"

 

Me: "Why don't you go see how you baby mama is doing and leave me alone"

 

Chase mouth dropped open, he couldn't believe what I had said to him. I was holding back my tears and as soon as he walked away they ran down my face. I couldn't help to realize that the guy I loved was never going to be mine. 

 

"Beep,Beep" I looked at my phone and it was a text from Kyle.

 

Kyle:

I'm outside, babe

 

Me: Come in and get me

 

Kyle:

Ok

 

I sat at my desk and waited for Kyle to come in. He came to the counter and waved at Chase.

 

Kyle: "Whats up Steph?"

 

Steph: "Nothing much just her working, your girlfriend is such a doll to work with"

 

Kyle: "Hey babe, you ready for lunch"

 

Me: "Of course honey, let me lock out"

 

I walked to the back and locked out. I told Mark that I was leaving for lunch. He told me not to come back to day and he would see me on monday afternoon after class. I smiled and walked to Kyle. I told him I had the rest of the day off. He offered to help me pack and start moving tonight. We talk in the lobby were I knew Chase could here. I wanted to make it clear that what I said I meant. I gave Kyle a kiss and we walked out holding hands.

We decided to got into cars and to get pizza at my place instead. We walked in the house; Robin and my dad where already home. There was already three boxes packed. We walked up the stairs and Robing was packing my clothes.

 

Me: "Someones in a hurry for me to move out"

 

Dad: "Kiddo, your home early"

 

Me: "What can I do my boss loves me"

 

Robin: "He sure does. Don't stand there you two come help"

 

Kyle: "I'll order the food, you start babe"

 

Me: "Hurry, I'm hungry"

 

By the time the pizza got to the house we where done packing. With four of us packing we were done in no time. We all sat down to eat and then we started to load my dad's and Kyle's trucks. I was happy that I was going to be moving out but I wasn't happy it was today. I called Sam and she was ready too. It's like both of our families wanted us out, TODAY. We didn't mind at all. A few hours later we meet at the dorms. Kyle and I went in his car, My dad took his car, and Robin took mine. I was happy to be moving in with my bestfriend Sam. But next thing I knew we had passed the University and our dorms. I picked up my phone and called my dad. All he said is not to worry he knew where he was going. 10 mins later we had arrived to a very nice gated appartment complex. My dad punched in a code and the gates open. Robin and Kyle followed my dad. I noticed Sam's car was already there, along with Aric, and her parents. Sam was standing out side her car just waiting for us to arrive. 

 

Sam: "Finally, you're here. They won't tell me why we are here"

 

Sam's dad: "Well girls there have been a change of plans"

 

Dad: "Instead of living in dorms we agreed that you are resposible enough to care for your own town home"

 

Sam and I: "Wait, what?"

 

Me: "Pa, are you serious?"

 

Dad: "Yes, we are very seriouse"

 

Sam's Dad: "Here are your keys girls"

 

Sam and I couldn't believe it. Our fathers were the best. We walked to the town home and it was already decorated. My I say they have very good taste. Everything was modern and so our style. It was a so Sam and me kind of place. We finished bring all out things in and unpacked what we could. Our parents left but our boyfriends stayed. I fell asleep next to Kyle.

When I woke up Kyle was gone and I had a note next to my pellow. 

 

I love you Natalie, I see you later. 

Call me when you wake up.

 

               Kyle

 

He loved me but I didn't love him back anymore and I didn't know what to do. I got out of bed and put my run gear on. I went down the stair and out the door. It was a nice day out, the sun was out but it wasn't too hot. The complex and a running trail so I decided to follow that. I put my head phone in and started to run. About 20 mins into my run so idiot ran into me with his bike.

 

"Oh I'm sorry" the man said and kept on going.

 

I hit my leg on a rock and it ripped me legging. There was blooding going down my leg and it hurt even more when I walked. I was basicly just sit on the ground waiting for some random person to come and help me. I just never expected that person to be Mark. 

 

Mark: "Natalie...is that you?"

 

Me: "Yeah it is I"

 

Mark: "Did you fall while you were running?"

 

Me: "No, some idiot ran into me with there bike and left me here"

 

Mark: "Let's get that taken a look at, I live in that town home"

 

Me: "Well hello nieghbor"

 

Mark helped me up and carried me all the way to his place. He put me down and opened the door. He helped me walk in and he sat me on his couch. His place was nice and he had very good taste. I had never noticed how cute he was but now that I had, I liked him better out of regular work clothes. He cut the rest off my all ready ripped legging and handed me a pair of his shorts. I changed while he turned around and looked away. He then cleaned me cut and put a bandage over it. He was go gental with me and was scared to hurt me. Even though I told him I could take it. Mark was so different at home and I turly like that.

 

Mark: "Want anything to eat?"

 

Me: "Sure, why not"

 

He made me sit on the couch while he made food for us. When he was finish he brought over a tray with food and drinks. We sat and eat quitly. I felt weird having him so close to me. Mark was 28 I think, regular bulit but looked fit, about 5'10'' or so, light brown shaggy hair, and dark brown eyes. I was just looking at him thinking it would be nice to go for someone older then me. More expirenced then me for once and not the dumb ass kids I was with.

 

Mark: "So are you busy tonight?"

 

Me: "I'm supose to go to dinner with Kyle"

 

Mark: "Why do you even go out with that jerk"

 

Me: "Excuse me"

 

Mark: "Sorry but you deserve better then him"

 

Me: "Look Mark my personal life is my personal life"

 

Mark: "I'm not trying to upset you Natalie but you deserve a better guy. If you would, Never mind"

 

Me: "If I would what"

 

Mark stay quite and stood up from the couch. He started to walk around the couch with his hand on his head. I don't know what was wrong but I had an idea what he meant. He walk over to were I was sitting, grabbed my hands and pulled me to him. He kissed me, I wasn't expecting that. He pulled back and let me go.

 

Me: "Mark, what the hell are you doing"

 

Mark: "Natalie, give me a chance to prove to you that you're wasting your time with Kyle"

 

Me: "I..I..."

 

Mark: "Please don't say no, think about it"

 

He let me go and walked away. I never expected this to happen. My boss, my boss had a crush on me. He wanted a chance to prove himself to me, he wanted me. I sat in his living room thinking to myself of both Kyle,Chase, and Mark. Kyle on one hand was my long time not caring boyfriend. Chase was a fucking lier and soon to be baby daddy. And Mark was a buisness man, a settled guy with plans and no other commitments. I never looked at Mark as anything other then my boss but what did I have to lose.

 

Me: "Mark....Mark"

 

Mark: "Yeah...."

 

Me: "Don't make me regret this..."

 

I stood up and gave him a kiss. It felt different this time, it felt perfect, like it was meant to be. We pulled back, looked at each other, and laughed. We sat on the couch and talked. Other then at work I didn't no much about him. Thanks to Robin he knew everything about me. I knew Robin had something to do with this. Made me wonder what else she knew that I didn't. We talked until I noticed the time. We agreed that this was "our secret" and kissed. 

Mark took me home that night. I waited for 2 hours and Kyle never arrived. I was so pissed at him, I called and texted him for those hours. He never answered or texted back. I think I was ready to move on.
