The Player-[Erick Brian Colon]

Chapter 31: The Cycle

Nicole's P.O.V

My sentence was cut off by his lips.

They felt so good and warm.

As we kissed, he was slowly pushing me back on his bed.

My fingers played with his hair as he pushed the materials off the bed.

No I can't do this, this always happens to me then afterwards I feel pain.. I thought.

His hands unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt but my hand grabs his, making him stop.

He stops kissing me and looks at me with those beautiful green eyes of his.

"Is everything ok? You look like if you don't want to do this.."He says with a worried expression.

"It's not that, it's just that ever since I started liking you, all I've felt throughout​ this journey is..Pain"I replied as I sat up.

"But Nicole, I really do love you and I don't want to hurt you anymore"He says as he sits next to me.

My mind starts replaying all those memories I had with him.

The romantic ones, funny ones, nice ones, and out all of  those memories... The memories where he cause me pain came up the most.

I remembered when he would make me cry or when I would see him with other females.

When he would cheat on me..

It seemed as if he didn't really love me at all.

Playing with my feelings and I was too stupid to notice.

"Uh Nicole?"Erick asked me as he waved his hand in front of me, bringing me back to reality.

"Erick, I don't think I can do this anymore. You've just left me heartbroken and then you make me fall for you again. It's like a cycle, it keeps repeating. Listen, I really do love you Cubano but I'm not sure if I'm going to continue loving you if you're just playing with my feelings.."I said as I looked at him straight in the eyes.

Thinking about loosing him makes me tear up a bit.

"I'm..I'm sorry, I didn't know the person you love can hurt their feelings as well. I-"He stopped talking as I wipped some tears away that were rolling down my cheeks.

"Why are you crying?.." he asked as he softly grabs my hand.

"I don't want to..-"I couldn't finish my sentence because the words wouldn't come out as tears continued to stream down my face.

"Nicole."He says as he pulls on my hand.

I yanked my hand away from his and stood up from his bed a long with my backpack.

"I'm​ sorry Erick, I can't continue if you're like this.."I say softly as I put my backpack back on.

"Where are you going? What about the project?.."He asked as he stands up as well.

"Don't worry about where I'm heading. The project can be done later on"I replied as I wipped my last tear.

I start walking out his room and into the front door.

As I opened the door, I knew he was standing on the stairs looking at me with a confused expression.

"Don't follow me"I said before I left.

Erick's P.O.V

" Don't follow me" Was the last thing she said before she left.

I didn't understand how this escalated quickly if I was just telling her the truth.
