I was still staring at Julio when his voice snapped me back to reality," Enough of the drooling, " he said grinning at me, oh no i can say i was in love with his smile, he had that angelic smile that melted my heart away.
" To night am having a party at this house, since you live here, you are free to attend the choice is yours, take it or leave it. " That was from Julio. I can't believe he is becoming this good to me, first he smiled at me and second he has invited me to his party, hope one day he will like me. But knowing am not his type of a girl, all my hope just have to vanish in thin air. Going to my room i decided freshen up and be ready for the so called party, yes i was never going to miss it for the world's sake. I was still in my room when i heard cars parking in the parking lot, i checked my watch to see the time , it was half past seven. The music from the living room was an indicator that the party had started, checking myself in the mirror the last time and being contented with my outfit which was a black
sleeveless knee length dress, i headed for the party.
The living room was full with people each holding a red cup full of drinks, i headed to the counter and filled my cup with tequila . I was sipping slowly on my drink while looking across the room that one particular person but i did not see him. Maybe he is in his room screwing someone, but thinking of him with another lady just makes me sick. I decided to talk a walk outside and maybe watch the stars, i believed in shooting stars and wishes and so i was gonna make a wish. I walked to the direction of the gazebo and sat there just watching the stars, i was lost in my own world until i felt someone tapping my shoulder.
Looking behind me, i saw a strange face which i did not recognize. " Hey are you okay?" the guy asked
"Yes ,am good. Thanks for your concern."
"Why are you here alone while people are enjoying the party?" he continue asking.
" You are out too." I shot back
"Am Trever by the way" said the guy stretching his hand for a shake.
"And am Victoria, but i prefer being called Tori." i replied to him shaking his hand.
"Can i sit with you." Trever asked.
" Sure" I replied not knowing what else to say.
We sat there in silence just watching the stars, a moment or two i saw a shooting star and i just made my wish silently. I know you wonder what my wish was, its the obvious, i wished for Julio to like me back if it can be possible.
Tired of watching the stars, we headed back to the party, people were scattered everywhere, too drunk to even move. Some were making out in the couch, others in the kitchen. I just decided to head to my room. Halfway the stairs , i had moans coming from my room, what the fuck! My room, like people screwing each other in my room, on my fucking bed, this is a joke. Without warning, i opened my door and dashed inside. "WHAT!" I could not believe my eyes, Julio was screwing the bitch on my bed, this is enough for me, i just can't take it anymore. We are married, he does not like me, he screws a girl in my room, i like him. I ran out of the room tears running down. I was stupid thinking he will like me, i made a fool out of myself. I ran outside the house, only to knock a wall, oh not a wall it was someone, it was Trever, just one look at me and he knew i was hurting. I let him hug me since i needed someone to hug me, to tell me it was okay.
Does it hurt this way to see someone you love with someone else? I had fallen too far for him and it was hurting me. Trever helped me cool down, by the time i returned to the house, the party was over and everyone had already gone leaving a big mess behind. Things scattered everywhere. Since i did not want to sleep in my room after what i had just witnessed, i decided to sleep in the guest room. I kept staring on the ceiling since i could not get any sleep.
That night i made a decision to move out and rent my own apartment. Then i will keep myself busy and forget about Julio. That seemed to be the only solution i could get. Since my love for him was one sided, i had to find something to focus on and move on from the unrequited love i had for him. Loving someone who seems not interested to you is the worst feeling ever. Julio and i are married and stuck with each other, maybe he could have given me a chance .
In the morning, i went back to my room, did my morning routine and headed to my shop. I decided to check online on apartments that could be rented, those that were not expensive. Fortunately i got one which i could manage to rent, i decided to go check on it after my day's work. My day was as bad as hell, i kept on thinking about Julio, which meant more tears more pain. By noon time , the shop was crowded giving me less time to be idle hence less thinking of Julio.
Evening came and i closed my shop. I went to check on the apartment and was impressed by it. I paid three month full rent and decided i was going to move in the following day since i needed to buy some stationeries and other items that i needed in my new apartment. Walking through the front door of Julio, his house was silent an indicator that he was not home yet, a good thing to me now. Since i owned nothing in that house except my clothes, jewelleries, shoes and handbags, i knew my moving out was not going to be hard.
I packed everything that belonged to me in my suitcases waiting for morning so that i could move on. That night Julio did not come back, that meant my moving out was going to be successful, not that he could forbid me from moving out. I guess he will be very happy to find an empty house since it seemed he like my parents, hated my existence.
In the morning, i hailed a cab that helped me to move my things to my apartment, yes it was mine since i had rented it with my own hard earned money. At least i was proud of my second achievement, my first being the floral shop. I could be in peace knowing i will never find anyone screwing or being screwed in my apartment. After arranging everything inorder i went to my floral shop. The day was busy as usual, with people buying flowers, but the turnout today was six times more than usual, that made me to check on my calender only to find out it was valentine day. Oh wow that was something, so people out here celebrate valentine this much when in my life have never received even a single rose for valentine.
By evening, i had sold almost everything i was really happy by the sales i had made.
I was about closing my shop when someone just came and handed me a bonquet of flowers, i was kind of surprised because who the hell could have send me flowers. I wanted to give him back telling him he got the wrong address when i saw a note on top written: To Victoria Millan. I thanked him and placed the flowers on my counter. I took the note to read it so i could figure out who had sent me those flowers. It could not be Julio, because he is the last person who can sent me a gift leave alone flowers.
The note read:
To Victoria Millan.
Hey Victoria, happy valentine, i celebrate you as my valentine.
Lots of love from me.
From Unknown person.
No name attached to the note, so i was not able to detect the sender. Who was this ,Could it be Trever, or who was this unknown person. How could someone send me flowers without attaching their name.
I closed my shop and headed home for my first night at my apartment. On my way i bought some take aways for dinner since i had not done shopping for foodstuffs.
Who do you think send the flowers, Trever or Julio?
#to be continued. Happy reading. And thanks for your support
