With Jacob caught in the mix of struggling to be the coolest guy in college. he's completely swept off his feet when Hannah Welsh, a transfer student comes into the picture.
What was supposed to have a happy ending is now turning out to be his worst...
"I'm in love with you can't you see that?", the girl who I had just slept with from next door yelled.
With a relaxed voice and a straight face, I said,
"I don't do attachments, I thought I made that clear. this was strictly for pleasure. Two beautiful people, pleasing each other. Let's put the attachments aside."
"So you mean you don't feel anything for me?," she asked as her voice reduced dramatically
"Of course I feel something for you," I replied as with a grin as I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me
"So why can't we make this work, Cole?", She asked as she placed her soft hands on my chest
Now the thing is... I'm a bit of a people's person and Bridgette Gunnels, my next door neighbor totally agrees with that. With several encounters, Bridgette became not just a next door neighbor but an indoor neighbor. She came around most times and during our plain dialogues and twisted conversations, she fell in love with me.
However, growing up I never really had a flair for love and relationships. but whenever I loved it was with everything I had in me, and I knew what I could do, the length i could go, if anyone tried to take my lover away from me.
Still holding her waist, staring seductively into her eyes, I said,
"Because we can't be closer than we are right now, that would ruin everything that we already share"
"And what is it that everything that we both share Cole?", With a raised eyebrows she asked
"This, pleasure, our bodies, we shouldn't ruin it with commitments and these relationship thing. you know I care for you and I know you also care for me, so what else would anyone ask for"
Bridgette Gunnels, discomforted with that statement got out of bed and started putting on her clothes without saying a word

"C'mon!, Don't make this a big deal"
"I don't have to make this a big deal, what we have going on is already a big deal to me and if you don't see it then I don't think we should be having this conversation in the first place"
I got out of bed and walked slowly towards her, and as I placed my hands on her shoulders and i said,
"Do you think you're in love with me?"
With a contemptuous look, "Why else would I be mad about the fact that we're just having meaningless conversations and meaningless sex?"
"Bridgette, see love is like that, you spend so much time with something and it becomes an habit but it affects our emotions and we call it love"
Bridgette Gunnels takes my hands and as she holds my cheeks she says, "This is nothing like just a habit, it's real and I feel it in my stomach"
"You've not had lunch, that's why," With a smirk on my face, I said
She tried to hold it in but she uncontrollably burst into laughter,
"You understand what I mean Cole, don't play with me," she said as she tried to maintain a straight face
"I get it, why don't we grab something to eat and we talk about this some other time, I'm also hungry myself unless you want me to eat you out again?"
"Mr Cole Hemsworth, we will have this conversation eventually whether you run from it or not. But I agree with that, so Let's grab some finger licking, cause I'm also starving"
Bridgette entered the bathroom to arrange her clothes and fix her make-up while I put on my plain tee and jacket
"Oh... Shit!" I heard Bridgette utter in the bathroom
"Is everything okay?," I asked as I knocked on the door, trying to check if she was okay
She stepped out in a rush and grabbed her bag
"Is everything okay?"
"I have to go," she said as she rushed towards the door
I grabbed her hands and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Yes, I was supposed to be at a meeting in the immigration office with my mum at 5. she just texted me" She said as she opened the door hurriedly
"Hold on let me grab my keys, I could drive you..."
We both rushed out and it was a long drive to the immigration office, but I took short cuts just so we would make it in time for her meeting. Her mum kept calling and she kept ignoring because she knew why her mum was calling
We got to her school at 6pm, and as we rushed to the immigration office we bumped into Bridgette's mum who looked cheesed off
"Where have you been?," Her mum asked in a furious manner
And as she tried to explain, her mum noticed me standing right behind bridgette
"Was she with you," She asked as she walked towards me
"Yes, she was" I replied as I bowed my head in shame
Bridgette's mum had just waited with the immigration officers for an hour, and with Bridgette's mum being a woman who respects her reputation, she was quite furious that we just made her look bad and worse, I was the cause
So the thing is Bridgette's family were immigrants, who just moved to Switzerland and while they needed to find get a C permit to remain in my country, bridgette's mum couldn't get a job and this meeting was her only way to ask for an extension
"Mum, it's not his fault", bridgette yelled As she stepped in as her mum approached me
"I have always told you that this boy will ruin your life but you never listened" Bridgette's mum yelled as she pointed her fingers at me
Bridgette looking like she was about to tear up, turned to face me and says, "Just go, let me talk to her"
I could hear the other words that came out of her mum's mouth, all I knew was that I just fucked up.
As I walked home, I realized just how much I was in too deep with bridgette Gunnels, and all it took me was losing her to realize that.

Weeks went by, without hearing from bridgette Gunnels. I called to check up on her but she never picked up her phone. I would randomly peep through my door to check if I would see her but I never did. I would hear her voice sometimes while she was having conversations with her mum. And suddenly, they moved back to their country.
