Chapter 351 - Ill make you fall for me (1/2)
Diana's message popped up on the screen and he clicked on it,
”Yeah, I'm done, I'm eating now,”
A smile crossed his lips and he was about replying, when she sent a picture of her eating, with a caption,
”Come and join me.”
He smiled and started to type a reply before his phone vibrated with an incoming call.
Michael's brows creased when he saw the unknown caller ID,
Jade…
He suspected it was her, he thought of ignoring the call but it was no use ignoring her, he would just answer and tell her what he wanted to tell her,
”Hey!” Jade exclaimed in a cute voice the instant Michael picked up.
”How are you?” Michael asked and she giggled,
”I'm great, I called a few days ago, you didn't answer.”
”Oh, I think I was busy at that time and I forgot to call back, sorry for that.”
”Apology accepted,”
She chuckled lightly, ”Are you free tomorrow?”
Michael kept quiet for a few seconds,
”Jade, we can't meet that way any longer, we aren't together anymore.”
The other side was quiet for a moment, and then she laughed,
”why?”
”Because I'm seeing someone else now and I don't want her to think we are doing something when we're not.”
Jade laughed out loud when she heard Michael's reply,
”Please stop joking right now, it's not like you do relationsh.i.p.s, I mean it's always just s.e.x, God, you are sounding like a p.u.s.s.y now.”
She laughed,
”I'm actually serious about this woman, and it's not about the s.e.x.”
”Stop kidding me Michael, I know you very much, you can't tell me you changed over night for a woman, I mean, you've met a lot of them.”
Michael sighed, he knew she wouldn't believe him, his friends didn't also belief him, so he wasn't expecting her to,
”Jade, think whatever you want to think, just know we can't be friends like before anymore.”
He sounded more serious this time and Jade stopped laughing, she was quiet for some seconds, then she asked,
”Do you really love her?”
Michael paused. Did he love her?
He blinked,
Earlier that day, she looked at him and told him, she loved him.
That moment had been the happiest moment of his life. He didn't know he could feel that happy for mere words. But those words, sincere and from her heart melted him.
”I don't know what love is, but if love is thinking about her every single second, wanting to see her smile, wanting to hear her voice every single moment of the day and feeling so wasted when she's not around, then I'm certain, I love her.”
Jade froze at his reply, and her hand tightened around her phone. She couldn't believe he was saying those words.
Michael, who had told her outrightly that she shouldn't catch feelings for him, that all he wanted was s.e.x.
And even when she started to fall for him, he reminded her that they were just friends with benefits, but she didn't give up, she continued to show him how much she loved him,
Normally, he would have ended their relationship but he didn't, which made her think he wanted her too but he was just not used to being in love and then her mother fell ill.
And she had to leave.
And their relationship came to an end. But she never expected to be back to him deeply in love with another woman, when she had been in his life for almost two years and he didn't love her.
”Why didn't you love me?”
Jade asked out of nowhere making Michael's eyes widen in surprise,
”what?”
”You know I loved you, but you repeated over and over again that we were nothing but friends with benefits, so what changed? What is different about this woman?
She's not prettier than me, and I'm a celebrity too, so what is wrong with me?”
Michael heard the shiver in her voice as she spoke,
He swallowed. Maybe that was his mistake, he should have ended it the minute she started falling for him, but he didn't,
He just kept her by his side, since she was less trouble.
”I'm sorry.”
He apologized. That was his biggest mistake, but sadly he could do nothing but apologize.
”You're a bad person, Michael.”
Jade cried, ”you are a very bad person.”
”You don't expect to meet me single after a year, Jade.”
”You said you didn't do love relationsh.i.p.s, I didn't expect you to change suddenly!”
”You never called,”
”I called once and you told me off!”
Michael stopped talking, after some minutes he said,
”I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I can't do anything more than apologize…”
”I don't need your apology. What I need is you. I love you Michael, I really love you.”
”Jade…”
