Unplanned Mistake

Chapter 9

Lavender's pov-

I thought how did we survive and get through all the problems we have before and this one we couldn't. For the past three years, in my shortcomings in his struggles, we have each other back, supporting and helping one another.

Luck wasn't on our side this time, for when Xavier saw me that day his look not only told disappointment but gave up as well. We did our best to stay in this relationship. And what Danielle did was actually nothing, he didn't have to react that way when he told me he loved me every time but doubted my love for him.

One time, I walked together with my guy best friend and he accused me of cheating on him and we didn't talk for a week, not only when I begged for his forgiveness. But, still, I love him and he loves me and we always try to find a way for a healthy relationship.

A smile curved upon my lips as I remember the first time he asked me on a date. Such a masculine guy yet shy in front of a girl. Brandon, his closest friend, told me that when it comes to the girl he likes, he tends to be shy. And I like that side of him because he always looks serious.

"Hi, Lavs. Are you available this evening?" He asks, scratching his head looking away from my eyes. I beamed at him, knowing his intention, "Mr Knight, I am sorry but the company rules say we can't have a date." I state, he sighs. It's funny that after that he never misses taking me out on a date until I say, yes.

I remember how he looked that day. A look that will never be erased yet slowly it should wither from my heart. Now. It's all gone. The smile, the look I treasure is replaced by someone I love now.

I was lucky to know Xavier and be with him. It was a short meeting yet meaningful.

I have moved on. The past should remain there and doesn't have to be dug up again. It doesn't entirely heal yet I just try my best to forget. It was three years worth of love and memories. Next week was supposed to be our anniversary but we never got there.

I don't completely put it all on Danielle, because it opened my eyes. Why would I keep fighting for our relationship if it actually sank down into the ocean?

I guessed from our break up, I rose from it. And currently doing what I couldn't do when I was with Xavier, and Jonathan was here to cheer and lift me up, I thought he will be the one who will all do this, but when I turn the next page of my story, that's all was an unfinished story meant to be finished by another person.

Sarah and Lea had told me everything, but hearing that she flew perhaps to ease her guilt and be ready to confront us but then again I wish to hear it from her not them. Now that I have already heard everything from her I can't hate her.

She loves Xavier not only when he starts working at his father's company but even before that. To conclude, you can say I stole her first love from the very beginning. I perhaps shouldn't ever accept Miranda's offer to work for him.

"What're you thinking, girl?" Sarah's voice interrupts my thoughts. Never failed to bring shocks to my life as I hold my hand on my chest feeling goosebumps all over my body.

"You scared me, don't know how to knock?" I teased, as she put-downs the meals we ordered.

"You didn't answer my freaking question." She hits the table playfully.

"Nothing,"

'Really. It looks like you weren't here for a moment. Must be so deep." She said,

"It's just that Danie came here yesterday."

"For?"

"Apologising, she said."

"And, what did you say?" Lifting her one brow to me.

"Forgive but not really yet. And thanking her." She sighs, comprehending well by 'thanking her.'

"Well, at least she apologises, it's better than never." She shrugs, continuing chewing her food.

"You're right," I said, doing the same as her.

There's no point in remembering anything now. That's for the better. His business is doing well and so does mine.

After almost two months of crying Lea convinced me to do my favourite hobby, fashion. And, now I am in my own building designing and marketing my business. Well, that break up is worth something more treasurable.

I never encountered Xavier once after our break-up. We live in the same city yet probably evading each other is the best. Even if we ever do, we are just some stranger passing one another and never smiling. But, one thing I am sure of is that we will never hate one another.

I smiled at Jonathan and intertwined my hand with his as we walked the busy road. It's been so long since I walked around this city. This time, with Jonathan soon to be my husband.
