Blame It On Fate

Chapter 39

"Elyse all I know is I want you, four years and no woman has caught my eye the way you have. I see you everywhere, you're always in my thoughts even when I don't see you, you're there." He took a pause and said, "Let's figure this out together."

"Tristan, I understand you. But I think I need some time to come to a place and actually have a stand. I hope you know how I feel." I replied while taking his hands in mine.

"How much more time Elyse? It's been 4 years. 4 years since we've been in the same city yet hiding from each other. We've been wanting to see each other but can't due to whatsoever misunderstandings we had. Elyse please, I can't do this without you anymore. I love you so much." Tristan said and my heart broke into a million pieces.

"Tristan..." I began to say something but he interrupted me and said, "I get it, you want to move on and end this, right?"

"What? No!" I exclaimed, "How can you even think that? If I were to move on I would've already done that in the past 4 years, Tristan. Only I know how spent those days and nights were suddenly your thought passes my mind and when I used to go to take fresh air half of the time I'd see Cassie and Levi. Don't get me wrong Tristan, I love Cassie. She's a wonderful girl but every time I saw her, she reminded me of you and then all I could do was cry." I replied with tears streaming down my face.

If you're worrying that we're causing a scene in front of people, then don't worry we are not, it's a private room. Getting back to the conversation.

"Is that so?" He said almost in a mockery.

"What are you trying to imply?" I asked, he looked at me with his red eyes and sighed deeply.

"Andrew." He said and I sighed this time. But how does he know about Andrew? As far as I know Callie doesn't have a hint.

"What about Andrew?" I asked in the same tone.

"You've been on so many dates with him Elyse." He took a pause and said, "So, if you like him or want to move on with him then let me know beforehand." He said and I wanted nothing more than to slap him left and right and there and then.

"Tristan, he's only my friend.." before I could continue we were interrupted. And I could not believe the person I saw.

"Elyse, save me!!" Andrew squealed and hid behind my chair and then I saw Cole enter the room.

"You fucking idiot, Bertha was supposed to marry someone." He yelled at lunges at him and then he hid behind Tristan and the catch me if you can game continued.

"Cole, buddy wassup?" Tristan came in front of Andrew and put his hands on Cole's shoulder, Cole suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at me and then at Tristan. And then he hugged Tristan and Andrew slowly tried to move out of the room but Tristan said, "Cole, why were you running after him?"

"You. Stop right there. You can't just make the princess of the Royale family pregnant and leave without any consequences." Cole said went towards and Andrew and took his collar in a tight grip.

"Look, you are just a mere lawyer who she had a one night stand with, even that she was not supposed to, you are to come with me to New York and deal with the shit. The baby can't even be aborted because of some complications." Cole yelled at Andrew. I think he still didn't notice Tristan.

"Hey hey buddy, calm down. Let's sit and talk?" Tristan said. But Cole became more furious.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked Tristan and then the realisation suddenly hit him and he formed an 'o' shape with his mouth and hugged him.

"I missed you bro, where have you been?" He asked him but Tristan looked at me and gave me a smirk.

"We can catch up later, but for now deal with this guy. You know he got your sister pregnant." Tristan said and I just glared at him. I know he's doing it on purpose. Stupid bitch.

So you could say the dinner date, if it can be called a date would now turn into a debate and negotiations of the royal families. Great. This shit is what I love about the us.

"You're right. Let's get this shit over with first." Cole replied.

——————————

"I thought you were dating Elyse, how did get Bertha pregnant?" Tristan asked Andrew with raised eyebrows.

"What?" Cole asked astonished, and continued, "How could you date my best friend and then cheat on her with my sister? Are you crazy?" He pointed a butter knife at Andrew.

"Okay so first off, I never dated Elyse, she's always been one of my best friends and as for Bertha, it um iteantfaonenightstandibkjblobrherabsdoyhdhe." Andrew responded. I'd be lying if I said I understood what he said at the last.

"What?" All three of us asked together.

"I said it wasn't a one night stand. Bertha and I, we've been together for a year and I'm in love with her." Andrew responded with utmost confidence. To say I was shocked, I never myself knew this.

"Come with me." Cole said and took Andrew with him.

"It was great seeing you guys, I'll catch up with you later and I'm glad you guys are finally together." He said and stormed off with Andrew.

"Pretty intense, right?" Tristan asked.

"Pretty." I replied while taking a sip of my wine.

"So, did you think about us? You know giving a chance?" He asked me. And I nodded.

"New year's approaching. I guess we could give old relationships new chances, to blossom and bloom." I said and raised the glass, "To new chances." I said and he chuckled and did the same.
"To new chances." Tristan raised his glass too and we both had a sip.
