The Stolen Heart

[ 8 ]

Cadence's pov:

So today is the beginning of a miserable life. I decided to go meet another people to make me forget about Erica because I like her too much and it's not possible for me to be with her because I am a bad person.

"So today I found a boy for you that you'll might like." Anna said.

"Yeey, I can not wait..." I said in a way that I didn't think I looked excited.

"You know that I'm doing this for you, right?"

"Yes but I only want her Anna..."

"I understand that but what do you think she'll say if she finds out your true identity?" Anna said making me realise that Erica will never forget me for that. I just sighed and nodded.

So for today I had to go on a date with a stupid boy.

After the date we were in the parking lot of the restaurant where we ate and we were about to say goodbye but I saw Erica looking at us from distance and I don't know why but I grabbed the guy's collar and kissed him. Then we left but I think I kissed him for nothing because I don't think Erica saw us.

Anyway, after some hours we were in the office and Nadia suggested all of us to go to a club. We agreed and left because it was already pretty late.

We sat at a table where we had fun, we talked and laughed a lot, all of us except Erica. I don't really know what's wrong with her tonight because she was silent and didn't even laugh at Nadia's jokes like she would usually do. She kept drinking a lot and staring at me and whenever I looked back at her she would look away.

After 2 hours we decided to go home because tomorrow we have work to do. Everybody left and I was to go too but I saw that Erica wasn't leaving so I started to worry.

"Erica, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"Leave me alone." She said coldly and then I tried to move her from the table and she passed out because she was drunk. Great. Now I have to carry her home.

I got her to my place and placed her on my bed. I wrapped her with a blanket and after that I was on my way leaving the room to let her sleep but she grabbed my hand.

"Don't leave me again." Erica said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Don't leave me for him" she said and it confused me even more.

"What do you mean?" I asked but she didn't gave me a response that's when I noticed that she fell asleep.

I wanted to leave but she pulled me in the bed in her embrace. I blushed a lot and I wanted to escape from her embrace but she was holding me too tight so I just stayed there with her cuddling. It doesn't hurt for just a night, right...?

Erica's pov:

I barely woke up from a deep sleep and then I opened my eyes. Wtf? Where tf I am cuz this ain't my room. I quickly got up from the bed and rushed to the door and opened it. I got out to find an open space with a leaving room and a kitchen. I approached the leaving room and then I felt a big pain in my head. I put my hands on my head and groaned:

"Fuck. This hurts so bad." I said and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, are you okay?" I turned around and saw Cadence.

"Why am I here?" I asked.

"Well you drank to much last night so I had to bring you to my house because I don't know your location." She said and then I started remembering why I drank.

"Tsk" I said mad.

"Okay...I wanted to tell you that I made a hangover soup for you to make you feel better."

"I don't want it." I said without thanking her. I know that what she did means a lot for me but I'm still mad about yesterday.

"Just sit down on this couch and wait for me." She said and after some minutes she came back with the soup.

She wanted to feed me but I refused her.

"Why are you like that with me?" She said and I ignored her.

"What did I do wrong?" She said and grabbed my face to face hers.

We were making eye contact and I only saw sadness and worry in her eyes.

"Why did you kiss that man?" I asked and her face changed by my words.

"So this is why you were saying those things last night?" She asked smiling.

"Just answer to me."

"I kissed him because I wanted to make you jealous, okay? I'm sorry for that." Well..she managed to make me jealous...

After she said that I understood what she meant so I didn't want to push the subject forward, at least not for now. I nodded and then I took the soup to eat but she didn't let me and she started feeding me.

"Wait..what do you mean by saying those things? Did I say something wrong last night?" I asked.

"I doesn't matter anymore." She said smirking and I rolled my eyes making her chuckle.

After that, I thanked her for the soup and left her house to go to mine to sleep all day because I took the day off.
