Meant To Be.

Ch 3

When I awoke, I heard the hushed voices of
Olivia and Luciano. I had noticed the lights were still on, maybe they were fighting oven the idea of babies. I mean Olivia did mention she was going bring it up. I approached the door meaning to close it when I heard they mentioned my name.

"What are we going to tell her when she finds out!"

"Shut up or else she will hear us Luc."

"Olivia, they slept together. They know about each other."

"And why the hell did you take her to the reception! Why the fuck did you get drunk!"

You said you didn't want me to go alone to the wedding so I took her with me! I didn't thing they were going to see each other!"

"It was his fucking wedding, I sometimes truly don't understand how the hell I got stuck with someone like you as a mate."

"Oh and you think that I was praying for someone like you! You don't ever think about anybody else other than you. You are a selfish bitch. I wanted to tell Addie the moment I knew she had sense him at our 4 year anniversary party. But like always you wanted to keep it to yourself. How could you make me keep it from her! How dare you put me in that position!"

When is stepped out into the living room, both their faces went pale as ghost.

"You both knew this whole time?" It was obvious the betrayal that flashed through my eyes. They just stood there not saying anything.

"How could the people I love most in this damned world keep this from me! What did I ever do to you both to make me suffer who's way." I had walker closer to Olivia and directed my words to her. "What the hell did I ever do to you. I trusted you! I bared my complete soul to you. How many times did I cry and let you know how hopeless and dead I felt! How could you do this to me, to your fucking best friend!"

Suddenly her whole demeanor changed, and for the first time I could clearly see her anger towards me. "I wanted to see you suffer. I wanted to see you get hurt by the one person who was destined to love you. I hate you, I envy you, I despise you. You have everything I ever wanted! You had a whole life and I was stuck in time at 16 with this fucker."

I stepped back in surprise, "What" and she just got closer to me.

"Why the hell do you get a man like Atticus and I get stuck with a useless piece of shit like him. I hated you the moment I knew Luciano had fallen for you. I hated you the moment I knew you were going to get your happily ever after. So it's only fair since you take my mate I take yours, but that slimy bitch got to him before I could. So I did the next best thing. I can already see you face brighten with happiness as you finally found your mate, but then realize that he was out of your reach. How you suddenly saw a dark future in front of you. Just imagining you go through that makes me so happy."

At this point she was breathing hard as I just stood there. Luciano made a move to touch me but I withdrew from his hand.

"Don't fucken touch me."

"I didn't do anything."

"Exactly you didn't tell me. Did you think if I never knew you'd have a chance with me. You have a fucking mate!"

"He has a wife and you still slept with him."

I walked away to the room I was in, called a taxi and grabbed all of my belongings. Luciano tried to stop me from leaving but Olivia started screaming at him and I left. When I arrived home, I wasted no time. I packed up all of my essentials into my car and started driving.

At this point I had no idea where I was headed, all I knew was that I had to go. Once night had arrived I noticed I was far from home so I decided to pull into a motel to get Get what little sleep I could get. Feeling refreshed after the shower, I payed in bed to go over what happened in the last 48 hours.

"I found my mate, we slept together, Olivia has always hated me and Luciano was in love with me."

When had I all started, I never gave him any lead from him to be attracted to me. I was always there for him as a friend and he knew that, but he loves me in a way best friends shouldn't. And in all those hours, I hadn't heard from Atticus at all. Well considering I never gave him any of my information, it made sense. When I finally reach a state of slumber, I had only two words in my head, what if......

Atticus POV

After we came down from our high, I held her in my arms listening to her breath and watching her sleep. I know nothing about her. Not her favorite favorite color, her hobbies, the small details that make her, well her. The woman I love is finally in my arms. When she wakes up I will ask her everything, I want to get to know her, better than anyone has ever. But for now I am going to taking this feeling in. I am going to carve this very moment into my mind. After today we have forever together. Smiling brightly, I fell asleep with her still in my arms completely satisfied with what our future will be.

When I awoke it wasn't because I was well rested or because a loud noise startled me. It was the seeping cold that my body was engulfed in. I called for her but no one came out. Checking the time, it was already 6pm. Where could she have gone. Quickly I put on whatever clothes I could find and headed over to where Luciano had been dumped off, but he was gone and so was she. Running to my car, I started it up and realized, no address no phone number or name had been given to me. Then it came to me, she came with Luciano, she must have left with him.

Almost two hours later I reached his house and quickly ran to his door knocking with urgency. Olivia had opened the door and I walked in searching for her.

"Where is she!"

"Who?

"Don't act stupid Olivia, my mate where is she!"

"She left." I turned around to see Luc.

"Where did she go? How can I find her?"

"I don't know, she just left. She said something about clearing up her mind."

"Do you have her phone number or any other way I can contact her."

"She told me to not give you any information."

Olivia chimes in, "I can, I have her information."

"Butt out Olivia."

"No why the hell should I. Her name is Adeline, this is her address and this is her phone number. She left about two hours again but never told us where." Thanking her I rushed out of their house and headed over to hers.  By the time I had arrived she was nowhere to be found. When my phone rang I was hopeful that it was her it had to be her, who could it be other than my Adeline. But looking at the caller ID I had finally let reality hit me. It was Liliah, my wife, who I had gotten married to yesterday.

"Fuck."
