Inferno love| Mystical Love series#2

Bonus chapter 21

The hardest part of staying away from him was seeing him in the same ballroom as me with his new girlfriend who seems to be only good for playing the role of his tart Regina Goodman as she loves to fawn around the place because she was a former nemesis of mine back in firewood Academy that used to compete with me, therefore, I must not let her get to me so I gathered the small amount of self-respect which I have for myself to pretend to giggle out loud at some joke Charles was saying to me.

Boredly, glancing around the room when I caught his gazes from around the corner of my eye trying to keep myself entertained by starting up a conversation with my new boyfriend parents talking about the engagement plans for next week as I swiftly look for two seconds before looking back at him. Continuously, he looked at me, never taking his eyes off of me because they were on for the first half of the night, therefore, I walked up to him by myself leaving my date behind me to suffer on the table alone.

"Hey, I noticed that you were longing staring at me for half of the time which we have been here and I don't think your date would have appreciated it either"

His date Regina has sent me an icy cold dagger from her intense glare in the middle table of the ballroom ever since I was one foot close to him, not particularly pleased with us talking calmly nearby the refreshments table but somehow she has always been fascinated by what is mine. She has this personal agenda against taking everything or everyone else who I ever care about away from me all in the matter of one day.

"Who cares what they think of us, Red?" he asked me endearingly.

Fully knowing that everyone's eyes were on us especially our dates were keeping a close eye on us throughout our conversation to suss any further movement detected by them will lead people to start gossiping noisily amongst themselves.

An exhaled escape from my jaws where there was only one part of me wishing that we could just as easily go back in time to the way we used to be in the past even if they say the past is meant to be in past because it was long gone throughout history moreover, I do not think that they were talking about us. In many ways, we are supposed to be together even though I was with someone else who was different from him in every way possible and the other part of my heart just could not let go of him.

"Woah, steady there, will, " I said, slightly shocked at the fact that he was still trying to win me back.

The music was loudly playing over our discussion which was great for us to not create theatrical scenes in front of everyone else including the people who we came here with today. I don't know why standing here with him beside me was exciting, something deep inside of me like my heart hasn't forgotten about all of our greatest moments in the memories inside my head went off like a sideshow video.

My brain was constantly having it own battles with my heart as I felt really confused regarding how can I go on my life without being able to see him everywhere was torture for me to see him attends balls like these that we were both mocking the very people who look down at everyone else and he has brought one of those girls alongside him too.

"Can we please just let loose for one night and forget about the rest of our trouble?"he pleaded with me.

Reluctantly, I decided to go along with it myself during catching up on each other lives in our talks trying to not let my feelings resurfacing hurt yet passionation was still there in his eyes as I felt bad for him upon noticing that he has bag under his eyes which slightly noticeable, however, his handsome face makes it show less.

A loveless marriage was what I was getting myself into when I realized that my real love was standing in front of me the whole time making me laugh like he used to do all the time.I reminded myself of the reason why I was doing this to myself for half of my family who says I should stop caring about what others people will think for once and choose own paths to happiness to life a very fulfilling life too.
