Chapter 3: Monica's Story

~~~~Scarlett Danielson~~~~

"I'm not Cole's girlfriend!" I yelled at the woman standing in front of me.

I gave Monica a glare and her smirk slowly vanished. It was soon replaced with an expression of shock. I didn't think she thought I would respond to her like that. But I did and I was proud of myself.

"Oh trust me honey. You will be soon. Have you seen Cole? He is a very sexy man. You'd be very dumb to let him slip through your fingers," Monica said to me, walking over to the bed.

I clenched my fists as Monica said her last statement. I didn't know why but my blood boiled when Monica talked about Cole. I wanted to rip her apart at the thought of her calling him "sexy."

It was as if I were jealous. No! No! I refuse to be or act jealous. Cole is not mine and I will not be his. But a part of me wanted to be called his. I needed to stop thinking about this and find a way out of here.

"Sweetheart, calm down. Don't get your panties in a twist. I'm not going to take him from you. So stop giving me that look as if you're going to kill me. I have Chris and that's all I need."

I started to become curious when Monica mentioned Chris. From what happened in the kitchen, Chris and her weren't an item. But Monica seemed a little sad at the thought.

"Monica, I don't mean to be nosey. But what is going on with you and Chris? Are you together?" I asked Monica this question because I was confused.

Monica turned around quickly and gave me a glare that was replaced with a frown. "There's nothing to tell. I love him and he doesn't want to be with me."

"Monica. If you explain to me what's going on between you two then there could be a chance that you'd feel better. I could maybe even help," I said to her and walked slowly over to the bed.

She stood in her place frozen with her body all tensed up. I noticed Monica's eyes were looking off towards the window making her seem as if she were in another place.

I took the clothes out of Monica's hands and she surprised me by saying nothing. I laid the dress in her hand on the bed and glanced back at her to see a tear rolling down her cheek. Monica quickly wiped it away and let out a breathe displaying her nervousness.

"It's very complicated. But I am willing to tell you. I will start off when we met, okay?"

I nodded my head for Monica to continue and she gave me a sad smile. I put my hand on her shoulder for comfort and she motioned me to sit with her on the bed.

Once we sat down and got comfortable Monica began. "It all started when I began working for Cole as his secretary and personal assistant. I helped him with the filing and presentations that occurred during business meetings. On my way to the conference I bumped into a very attractive man that I later learned was Chris. Chris looked at me differently than other men. He made my feel loved and cared for."

"How did you guys begin dating?" I asked and Monica let out a humorless laugh. "I wouldn't call it dating. Chris never wanted to date or be with me," Monica responded.

I gave her a questioning look and she just shook her head. "Chris had asked for my phone number and to go on a date with me. I refused to give it to him thinking he only wanted to get in my pants. But after all the romantic gestures, I finally gave in and went on a date with him. The date was incredible and I felt like I was on cloud 9. We had a couple more dates after that and I felt myself falling for him slowly. After a while, I realized that Chris still hadn't asked me to be his girlfriend. I tried talking to Chris about it, but he would just brush me off and never bring it up. Chris never dated other girls and was faithful to me. But I couldn't help but feel used and unwanted."

"Why did you remain with him when you could have been with someone else?"

"Have you ever fallen in love?" Monica asked me in a soft voice. I shook my head signaling that I had never experienced love. I just had never found the right person to actually be in love with.

"Well when you're in love you have no control of how you feel. You always have hope that the person you love will love you back. I had that kind of hope in Chris. I would always make sure to drop little hints that I wanted to be his girlfriend. But that time never came."

Monica stopped and took a deep breathe. I decided to ask a question that I had been thinking about this whole time. "Monica, did you ever see a future with you and Chris?"

"I did once. You see, I had always been that girl that dreamed of getting married. I wanted the big princess wedding and I wanted to start my own family. I was always that person who dreamed of falling in love. I still had hope in a future with Chris until today when he said we weren't dating. Chris didn't love me like I loved him and when he defended you I thought he preferred you. I was scared Chris would realized he could have someone better."

I finally realized why Monica was so mean to me earlier. She saw me as a threat to her relationship with Chris. Monica thought that I would be the woman to break them up. She had been scared at the thought of losing Chris.

But my mind wandered off to Chris. Did he know about how Monica felt about this whole thing? Was he aware of how much she loved him? If Chris was her mate why did he put her through such pain and risk losing her.

My thoughts were interrupted by Monica getting up and walking to the full length mirror. She wiped her eyes and turned back to me.

"Thanks for the well needed talk. You helped me realize that I need to forget about Chris even though I'm in love with him. I want someone who can give me a family and make all my dreams come true. In order to find that person I need to leave Chris."

Monica walked over to me and gave me a hug. At first I didn't respond but then I put my arms around her. We pulled away and she walked out the door. I smiled since I had made a new friend, but then my smile faded. I started to realize what had happened.

Did I just ruin Chris and Monica relationship?!
