Cupid's Heartbreak (Completed/ Re-editing In Progress)

Chapter 3

I kept smiling, I think my face is frozen like this cause it's been like this for a long time.

"You're a really good person, you know that? This, all this change my opinion about you." I told him.

"Really?" He smirked quirking his eyebrow. I gave a nod. He now leaned closer to me around the table.

"What did you think about me? What was your opinion?"

"Well, the usual bad boy, jock, jerk, player, asshole....mention it." I kept listing and when I look to him, he looked hurt and I soon regret what I'd said.

"Oh.... I didn't know I was all of that. I'm sorry." He apologized and now I felt bad. Very bad.

"Oh God on, I didn't mean it like that......" I tried to explain to Cyril but his demeanour is still holding sadness.

"...It's okay, it's good you were honest but don't worry. I promise to change, okay?"

I shook my head. "No, don't! You're perfect as you are. You don't need to change." I tried but he seemed to have made up his mind. We fell into an uncomfortable silence. It was killing me and my stupid loud mouth.

"Tell me what you think of me."

I did not know I'd said it out loud till he started. "I thought you were always crying and a faker too, with dyed hair and lenses till it clicked that they would never have admitted you with such hair." He paused a while. "I thought you, were too quiet and reserved too and your hair is overly long. But you grew on me." He finished.

So he doesn't like long hair. "Okay then."

"I should head home now."

"Okay." He said nodding. I stood up and he stood too leading me out. We drove back home. On the way, I got a call from Claudia.

"Hey B, what's up?" I asked then she greeting back.

"Yeah, I need your help." She said shyly. "I just realized I like someone and you're been close to that person recently." She said in a breath.

"Oh? Really? Who is he? I will help you, promise just tell me." I said very happy for her as she has finally decided to move on.

"It's....uhm, Cyril. Cyril McCourt." At first it was quiet as I assimilated what she just said. Bells rang in my head and I wanted to cry. I remember during the week I'd promised her that any guy she likes I'll get her. I've always kept my promise, I can't stop now, can I? Plus, Claudia just started recovering from one heart break, another will shatter her.

What do I? I really like Cyril and I was looking forward to an 'us'. I sighed very loudly.

"Hey, Cupid....."

"... I'm here. I heard you." I told her then she sighed.

"So, will you help me?"

That was the big question. Well, this is all my fault. I should have told her when I had the chance that I'd had a crush on Cyril for a very long time but I did not. I also promised her and now It's all biting back on my ass. I can't do anything about this. Claudia already likes him.

Who am I to stop it?

"Yeah, yes. I will." I replied.

"Thank you so much. I owe you, B." she squealed.

"Yeah." All the light drained out of me.

Once the truck stopped, I jumped out of the truck heading towards our front door but a hand caught mine. I turned to meet Cyril's green eyes.

"Elm, I wanted to tell you that....I like you, a lot Oral..." That did it. My tough demeanour broke and tears fell out of my eyes.

"You can't do this now, you just can't." I said my voice not wavering but the tears broke my resolve.
