Chereads / THE LOVE I NEVER KNEW / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Merly

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Merly

Breyson's P.O.V

I reply to Kelly's request without a second thought. Damn! I think I understand why they are best friends!

"I'll adjust my schedule and fix a date, hope that's totally okay with both of you." I added.

"Okay, see you soon! Let me drop off Bel!" Kelly answered.

"Alright, about dropping her off, help me speed up her permit I don't know what's holding her up..maybe perhaps we can find her a car when we hang out." I requested.

"I just got caught up, but I'll get it soon!" Belinda replied.

"Ooh..okay, have a good night you two!"

"Goodnight too!" Both Kelly and Belinda replied.

"Atleast now the gap between us is fixed! I'm not sure though if I'm ready to tell her about my past like I promised her earlier. How will she react to it!" I wondered.

"I don't know why I'm getting all worked up, I've not even talked to her about my feelings!" I slapped my forehead while groaning.

"I'm home(•‿•), thanks for everything!" Bel texted.

"That's a good sign!" I whispered to myself with a slight twitch.

"The pleasure is all mine, love(•‿•)!" I replied to her.

After a few hours without any response from Belinda, I decide to shuffle through my phone, surprisingly I land on Merly's photo.

How did we even get to this point!

What if Belinda is also just like her, what if she invented the whole broken heart story, that's what they normally do! She doesn't seem like one who would seek for attention though!

"All I want is to forget Merly, to get her out of my system!" I groaned. Why is love so complicated! She already cheated on me and not just cheating, but with my cousin! And I'm here still thinking about her, her memories are all still roaming in my head! What is this?! It's the more reason I need Belinda in my life, she kind of blurs all Merly's memories.

"Damnit!" I groaned again, I'm sounding like a total idiot! So unfair! Belinda doesn't deserve this! She deserves much more than just being a substitute!

I really need her in my life, but I don't wanna hurt her, I don't want to make her feel like I'm only using her!

"Good morning sis!" I shouted through the phone, took a sip on my coffee as I waited for her response.

"Goodmorning brother! Did you sleep well?!" She answered.

"Of course! How can I not when the woman I'm falling for agreed to hangout with me, and better yet her best friend!" I answered, will you come with me? That way you can be able to meet her. Compare and contrast, you know!" I suggested.

"I think that's a great idea! When is that?!" She asked

"Probably this weekend, I'm choosing the date, once I'm done with that, I'll let you know!" I replied.

"Okay, finally I'll get to meet the woman you can't seem to stop talking about!" She teased.

"Well, it's only you and mum who haven't met her, dad already knows her."

"But how come?!!!" She asked.

"Belinda works with us! She helped us win a huge contract! That's how dad got to know her!" I answered.

"But he doesn't know that you're falling for this woman! Or does he?!" My sister asked.

"No he doesn't." I laughed.

"Anyway, I just pray that she makes you forget that hell of a woman, Merly!"

"Sweetheart! Breakfast is ready! Whom are you talking to?!" I heard mum ask from the background.

"Mum it's your only son, who else would call me this early?!" My little sister answered.

"Hey sis, control yourself! Hi mum! Did you sleep well?!" I asked.

"I did, when are you coming over?" Mum asked.

"Anytime mum, I can't promise you though." I answered.

"Okay then, I miss you son!" She said.

"Oh mum, I miss you more." I groaned.

"Brey, we are going to have breakfast before it gets cold." My sis shouted.

"Alright then enjoy your breakfast! Bye!" I ended the phone call and headed for work.

"Hey Nora, how is your morning?" I asked.

"Not bad, thanks for asking." She answered with her gorgeous smile just as usual.

"So tell me, Is my schedule so tight today?" I asked her.

"No, not as such." Nora replied.

"Sounds great! That means I'll leave abit early today! Do me one favor though, I would like to know how we're standing this week, look into your forecast and give me your feedback real soon. Is that clear?!" I demanded.

"You got it!" Nora answered. Got back in her seat and went ahead with her assignment.

"Oh! And one more thing, Is Belinda already here?" I curiously asked.

"I don't know, but she must be! Sir, Do you need me to follow up?" She asked.

"No, no Nora! Don't bother yourself! I'll do that myself!" I said, I'll see you later.

"Yes hello, Breyson Heights speaking." I answered my cellphone.

"Your father instructed us to coordinate with you, according to him you want to purchase one of our cars. Do you mind coming over so that you take a look at each one of them, I'm completely sure that you'll find your taste." Said some unknown person.

"I'm sorry sir, certainly not today but I can promise you that I will definitely drop by! I'll just give you a call soon as I confirm which day I'll be coming there." I replied.

"No problem sir, we'll be gladly waiting for you. Have a nice day!" He said.

"Dad, dad, dad?! He never seems to stop amusing me!" I laughed while opening my office.

Soon as I sat, my office phone rang.

"Sir, we are not so busy this week, infact we only have 1-3 occasions this week, all consecutively. That's Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday! That's all I have for you sir, if anything pops up, I'll let you know ASAP!" Nora said.

"Oh! That's great! Thank you for being so effective." I replied, put the phone back and thought of how the weekend will end.

"May I talk to the dessert chef?" I asked soon as one of the kitchen staff answered the call.

"Just a second boss, Belinda! The boss wants to talk to you! Hurry up!" He chipped.

"I'm coming!" Shouted Belinda from the back ground.

"Boss, she'll be here in a jiffy!" He said.

"Thank you but next time, don't keep someone waiting in that kind of manner and then go ahead and shout so loud in the background. Next time I call, or someone else calls and you find yourself in this kind of situation again, simply suggest to call back if the person I need is far from you, if they are there, just put me on hold! Did I state that crystal clear?!" I demanded.

"Yes boss, pardon me please." He pleaded.

"Alright, no problem. Please hand the phone to your colleague." I requested.

"Good afternoon sir, you asked for me?" Belinda asked.

"Yes I did, please inform your friend Kelly, that we can all meet this Saturday." I replied.

"She'll be excited to hear this, I'll text her after here." She answered.

"Have you had lunch?" I asked.

"Yes I just did, thank you" She answered.

"Alright talk to you later." I ended the call.

I wonder if I'll be able to talk about it, my past with Merly, talking about it is like reliving all the memories I'm trying to get rid of. It's like adding salt to the already salty food. Things only get more ugly. Why is it even so important for me to tell Belinda about myself, it's not like we are a couple." I said to myself, finding everything impossible, impossible to open up to Belinda. I don't wanna hurt her, that's why I want to tell her about myself, if we are going to be friends, then it's only fair that I open up to her even though it will hurt me in the process. I just hope all goes well.
