Chapter 77 - Buried Memories (2/2)

”Don't be so stupid.”

” I'm serious!”

” Fine, fine. Anyway I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I knew she would pull up a stunt like that, still I decided to go there with you.”

” Honey, it's fine.” I picked up her hand, grabbing it lightly with mine and placed a kiss on it.

We had changed our clothes. Stella was looking upset and lifeless. She was never a fan of telling people about her own problems. It is hard for her to open up even though if it's me.

” Relax. Take a deep breath and don't get panicked. I'm here to listen.” I tried to cheer her up. She was already stressing a lot.

” Vanessa and I were friends in my high school years. She was a good person when I first started talking with her. But things went bad when the guy she had crush on, asked me out on a date. I knew she liked the guy and I rejected him instantly.

Although Vanessa stopped talking with me. Instead she was spreading bad rumours about me. Thankfully, after few days she shifted somewhere else. As she left, the rumours about me also faded away. Until now, I had no connection with her. She probably tried to make me feel uncomfortable and jealous. She still has grudges over me where else I have forgiven her long time ago. I just don't understand what was my fault in all this?”

” Honestly, you had done nothing wrong. You can't control people, who likes you and who doesn't. I think it's so childish to blame you for something you never did! If Vanessa ever thought of you as a friend, then she should have at least believed you. Rather than blaming you for the whole thing.”

” You know, it was Vanessa who showed me how to dress stylishly and do my makeup. Before that I was a plain girl. I was so happy that she was putting all the efforts to make me look cool. Maybe she regrets it now. When she left the school,I also went back to my usual self.”

” Do you have any other thing that may have been bothering you or hurting you for a long time? Just remember I'm always here to listen to your problems. I'm no god but I will try my best to solve your problems.”

” I always try to forget the bad things. I mean, what's done, is done. Thinking about it won't change the past. So, I try to bury it in my memories——— unless someone pokes into it.”

” Even a kid acts mȧturė than Vanessa. Seriously don't stress about her. She's just a dumb bitch who has grudges over a simple thing. Let's not talk further on that matter. We won't be seeing her again, I ȧssure you.”

” Yeah. I have blocked her number too. I only went today because I thought she might have forgotten about that incident. I guess I'm no less dumber than her.”

” Yes. You are dumb and so am I.”

” Is that a compliment?”

” If that's what you think then yes. Let's go to sleep honey, it's been an exhausting day.”

We leaned forward to kiss each other. Our bodies warped together like high ocean waves. The warmth of her body made me sooth my mind.
