Intoxicated By Your Love

The Comeback

Enzo

"Tomorrow, it is". Lydia agrees to meet me tomorrow.

We'll finally be able to clear everything between us. I have a chance to explain to her my feelings. I have a chance to apologize.

I escort her to her dorm. I wish her a "Goodnight" when she heads to her room. I stand in front of the dorm's door, smoking a cigarette. I wait there until Nancy comes. I make sure that redhead doesn't come to see Lydia.

"Does she feel better?". Nancy asks me, walking with Steve.

"Kinda. I trust you on taking good care of her". 

I would've asked from her to kick Carl out of Lydia's mind and replace him with me, but that's enough selfishness for tonight.

Nancy pats my shoulder, and she hits me with a wink before she can head inside the dorm. Steve looks at me with a wide smile on his face and shiny eyes. I walk a few steps and he walks next to me. It's obvious, he'll stick beside me. However, I need to get rid of him. 

"You head to the room first, I have something to do". I tell him, hoping my sentence doesn't make him curious and glue to me.

"What kind of thing?". 

"It's personal". I say. I walk two steps away from him, then I stop. "Don't follow me!". I order.

I go behind the building where I told Lydia she'll find Carl. I lean my back against the wall, lightening another cigarette. Footsteps approach me. I send my eyes to where that sound originates. I wait for who will show up.

If Cynthia is not the person who'll show up, I'm fucked up.

I spot the shadow. Long hair which eliminates the possibilities of being a male, it also eliminates Nancy. The body is in an hourglass shape. I smirk. That's Cynthia.

"Was it worth it?". Cynthia asks as she walks next to me.

"She lost her mind. She even cried". I tell her about Lydia's reaction after catching her hooking up with her boyfriend.

"Here. As I promised". I say, handing her a necklace that I lied about its owner.  

Cynthia takes it happily thinking it belongs to Lydia and she steals my cigarette. "If you need something else, you know where you can find me". She throws me a kiss with a wink, and she leaves.

It turns out that Cynthia enjoys seeing Lydia suffering. Stealing her guy is her favorite hobby. The moment I figured this out, I decided to use that against Carl.

Lydia is not in love with Carl, that was confirmed when she hesitated on answering my clear and direct question. Carl is a liar. He's hiding something which I still can't figure out. What I'm sure about is that he doesn't love her either.

Why are they dating if they are not in love?

First, I had to pretend that I have zero interest in Lydia, so that my plan doesn't work upside down. I intended to be her hater before starting. I talked to Cynthia about seducing Carl and making Lydia catch them in an intimate position. She accepted immediately as long as that would hurt Lydia.

Cynthia enjoyed knowing that our plan worked, and Lydia is broken. Lydia and Carl obviously broke up. I scheduled a meeting with Lydia tomorrow. That's definitely a date.
