Writer's POV
The apartment smelled of cigarette and hot chocolate. Books were scattered across the cushion and on the floor, Theo looked up from his phone at the blonde sleeping soundly on the cushion facing the television. They had just finished draining each other's energy not quite long and she was obviously tired.
He got up reluctantly to arrange the books back in the shelf . He had been looking for the wedding invite that Anna's parents sent to him making him turn the whole apartment inside out.
He had to leave the house in few hours time and the invite was nowhere to be found? He was frustrated but kept his cool. He needed his positive energy in tact. He would not get worked up because of the silly wedding invite.
He had to prove to Anna that he's a changed man.
He finally found it in the kitchen , on the abandoned spoilt fridge. He had gotten home drunk that day and had dropped it there.
"I need to get rid of this fridge" he said to himself . Why keep it when he got a new one already?
He was hell bent on attending Leylah's wedding for one obvious reason. He would see the love of his life again and try to convince her to take him back. Life has been so miserable without her , he wanted her in his life so bad and he would do anything to make sure of that. Anything at all.
He stole another quick glance at the sleeping blonde and smiled in a satisfactory way. She shifted to face him and opened her eyes slowly.
"Hey" she smiled sleepily.
He winked , moved towards her like a lion quietly charging towards its prey and spanked her ass.
"I caught you staring" she said still smiling.
"You look beautiful even in your sleep" He said as a matter of fact .
Betty blushed even more deeply and rolled her eyes dramatically.
Theo barely made compliments like this , she could not wait to know what's up.
"I found the wedding invitation" Theo said doing a little happy move with his hands.
"Oh" Betty closed her eyes. She knew this man too well. That's why he seemed so happy.
She sighed not bothering to hide the disappointment written all over her face.
She was hoping that he would not find it , In fact she had prayed that he would not find it .
Knowing how obsessed Theo was with getting back with his ex girlfriend. Betty really hoped that he would not attend the wedding.
"You know what Betty?" Theo said absentmindedly. He didn't seem to notice how Betty's countenance had changed or he pretended not to see it.
"What?" She whispered making it obvious that she wasn't interested in this particular topic he was about to bring up.
He took her hands in his and rubbed gently "please pick an outfit for me? I want to look really good at the wedding"
Betty scoffed , snatching her hands away from his . She got up and strolled into the bedroom "okay I'll do just that . When are you leaving?"
"Soon baby" he said smiling sheepishly as he followed her watching her bare ass move as she walked.
He shook his head and tried to focus , he has to be at that wedding party. No distractions.
Few hours later , Theo was at the beach side where the wedding reception was taking place . He had missed the exchanging of rings and joining of the couple in holy matrimony because he could not resist the hot and sexy blonde in his house . They had been having hot and steamy sex non stop since the day before, simply because he had had to wait for almost a week for her to be done with her period.
He shook the thought of Betty off his head , he was here for the love of his life and Betty belonged in his bed . She should not be interrupting his thoughts like this.
He flinched as he saw Anna walking towards her sister's table . He got up immediately from where he was sitting with people that he barely knew just in time to catch up with her.
She didn't look happy to see him as he could see anger flash in her eyes.
"What do you want ?" She asked in an irritating tone that pierced through his heart.
How did she go from adoring him to hating him this much. He blinked trying to act like he wasn't hurt. He was here for one thing , so he didn't care much if she insulted him or not. He just needed her to forgive him and then they can continue from where they stopped.
He bent to kiss her in the cheek regardless and he was not surprised when she moved backwards shooting him daggers with her eyes.
Anna scoffed as she scrutinized him from head to toe , so bold of him to think he still has the right to do as he pleased with her.
It was obvious that she didn't have much to say to him as she excused herself.
"Bitch!" He cursed under his breath before he could stop this word from getting out.
She didn't stop , she must have heard him but she didn't stop to look back .
He wanted to punch himself in the face and scream until his lungs hurt . But he maintained composure.
He went back to his table with a fake smile plastered on his face . He was not about to start explaining why he was so upset especially as Anna's mom was already making her way towards him.
"Hi mama" he got up to give her a hug .
"My boy , look at you , handsome as ever" Anna's mom smiled . She pinched his cheeks like she was fond of doing .
"You look so good mama" he said making the older woman blush "your hair is nice".
"Oh no you flatter me too much" she laughed.
"Thank you for honoring my invite"
"I would not dare ignore" Theo said searching through the crowd with a side eye to see if Anna was looking at them . But unfortunately for him she was deeply engrossed in a conversation with her sister and her brother in law.
"I'll see you later my boy" Anna's mom said excusing herself "have fun".
Something caught his attention because he was not even paying attention to the older woman anymore. There was someone else on the table, he was dressed as good as the groom. He was obviously the best man . Theo felt his fist clench .
"I hope Leylah and her husband are not trying to match make my love with this ugly looking man" he muttered under his breath.
He knew he had lied because the man was far from being ugly which got him more upset.
As long as he lived , he would not allow another man go close to his love . Anna belonged to him and him alone.
He got up, walked to his car and drove off like a maniac. He would go home to his lovely Betty and make love to her to feel better. Betty would make him dinner, stroke his hair and assure him that everything was going to be alright. And then he would be able to relax and make other plans on how to win his love over.
It just had to work out one way or the other. He's been trying for five years , one day he would eventually have his Anna back . He smiled as he steadied his hands on the steering wheel.
