"What do you mean you're leaving me?" I asked in complete shock.
"I mean exactly what I said. I'm leaving you, Darilyn. I've fallen in love with someone else I'm sorry, but it's life." My mouth dropped. How could someone that had been so good to me for three years suddenly turn into a complete asshole?
"Get the fuck out." I said opening the door for my now ex-boyfriend.
"Come on, Darilyn, don't be like that." My ex said trying to touch me. I moved out of his pathway so he couldn't touch me.
"I said get out!" I spoke as calmly as I could.
"Whatever, bitch." He glared at me before leaving the house.
As soon as he was gone I immediately closed the door and locked it. I fell to the floor in complete shock and started to cry. We had been together for three years. Three years and I thought he was the man I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with.
I cried even harder realizing that I had wasted three years of my life on someone who could just leave me so easily and without remorse.
In the distance I could hear my phone ringing. I sat on the floor listening to my phone ring and not being able to move. Once the phone had finally stopped ringing I decided to finally move and get it.
I realized I had missed a call from Damian and instantly felt bad. My phone began ringing in my hand once again.
Even though I didn't want to I picked up the phone.
"Yo, Darilyn you will not believe what I just did." After I didn't respond Damian still went on. "I got us tickets to go see Rihanna." Damian said over the phone excitedly.
At any other time I would have been happy, but at the exact moment I felt devastated and heartbroken.
"That's great, Dame," I sniffled trying my best to fake happiness.
He immediately sensed something was wrong and became worried, "what's wrong, Darilyn?"
"Mike broke up with me." I responded starting to cry once again.
"I'm on my way," was all Damian had said to me before he hung up.
About ten minutes later Damian was knocking on my door to let him in. I quickly scurried over to the door to unlock it for him.
"How'd you get here so fast you live forty minutes away from me?" I questioned.
He immediately pulled me in for a hug. "I may have broke a couple of laws to get over here so fast," he said making me laugh a little bit.
"Are you okay?" He pulled away from the hug looking at me. I felt self-conscious under his gaze. I knew I looked terrible due to all of the crying I had been doing.
"Can we just cuddle like we used to?" I asked turning away from his gaze.
"Yeah," I heard him speak lowly behind me.
"This is nice," I mumbled into his arms. I felt him tense up around me and I pulled back from him.
"You don't want to do this, do you?" I frowned.
"No, I do want to do this." Damian said not meeting my gaze and looking elsewhere. He pulled me back into his arms and rubbed his hand comfortingly up and down my arm.
"Then what's the problem?" I asked.
He sighed looking down at me, "you wouldn't get it. It's not a big deal."
I felt uncomfortable that Damian was lying to me about something I had no idea about, but I let it be and decided to just enjoy the moment. I hadn't realized how much I loved being in Damian's arms until I was back in his arms.
Damian could always make me feel loved and I always felt better around him. I don't know what it was about him that did it to me, but I loved it. I looked up at Damian to see he was also in deep thought. I wondered what he was thinking about.
I didn't realize how deep in thought I was until I felt Damian chuckle. "What are you thinking about?" He asked me.
"You," I admitted honestly. He looked at me with a look in his eyes that I didn't understand.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he spoke softly still staring at me.
I stared right back at him not turning away from his gaze this time. I started to actually look at Damian. Had he always been so attractive? The answer was yes, but I was blinded by my relationship that I didn't even realize. Now that I was single I could finally appreciate how good Damian looked. Not only was Damian a good looking guy, but he was also caring. He carried a lot of traits that I looked for in men. Or maybe he was the standard that I wanted the men I dated to have. Did I even like Damian? Yes I did, but how didn't I know. Had I been putting this crush on Damian off as friendship? Maybe that is why Mike hated for Dame and I to hang out. Maybe Mike knew I had a crush on Damian when I hadn't even realized. The chemistry between Damian and I couldn't be denied.
"Damian," I spoke lowly I barely heard myself.
"Yes?"
"I think I like you," I admitted to him.
"I like you too." Damian spoke truthfully.
My eyes widened in shock, Damian liked me?
"How long?" I asked.
"Ever since we first met. I've always wanted you." He said.
I couldn't contain myself any longer I moved more towards him and kissed him. He shifted more towards me and kissed me back. I no longer felt tense anymore my body relaxed under his touch. We pulled away from the kiss both of us in complete awe.
"Darilyn?"
"Yes?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
I gasped in shock. Was I ready to enter a new relationship just after I had gotten out of one so quickly? "Yes," I said shocking myself even more.
He smiled at me and I smiled back cuddling into him even more.
Enjoy!
