How To Be A Heartbreaker

Prologue

Prologue

I was at the mall shopping around for an outfit for tonight. My boyfriend of a year is going to take me out for a 'surprise'. I'm so excited; it's not only Valentines Day, but our one year anniversary. I remember twelve months ago when he first asked me out. He was painfully shy, and afraid that I'd reject him. He's changed over the course of our relationship, and I'd like to think that it's for the better. He's gained a lot more confidence and seems more carefree.

I looked through the dresses on the clothing rack. Yellow? No. Leather? No. When I finally found a couple of dresses I liked I headed over to the fitting rooms. As I was getting closer I heard a girl giggling and a deep, familiar chuckle.

"Babe, I can't!" The guy protested.

"Just come inside, Jason! I'm sure I can change your mind," the girl tried to say seductively. Well isn't that ironic, he and my boyfriend have the same name, I thought to myself.

"You're going to have to prove that to me," the male voice went down an octave. She giggled again.

As I rounded the corner, I saw a mop of blonde hair go inside of the fitting room. I'm glad my boyfriend isn't like that, I thought to myself. I stripped of my clothes quickly and started putting on the first dress. Just as I turned to look in the mirror I heard the girl's moans from the fitting room next to me. Gross. I quickly decided on a dress and rushed out.

I practically ran to the cash register to pay for my stuff. During my flee from the store I turned back and saw the blonde haired boy again. Was that my boyfriend? We locked eyes and his face transformed to shock. He quickly dropped the girl's hand. I stopped speed walking and fully turned around. He whispered something in her ear and she glanced at me.

Then they calmly walked out of the store in my direction. This time I could actually get a good look at the girl. She was beautiful. Literally stunning, I was frozen in shock. I also got a closer look at the guy. That was my boyfriend! He didn't even spare me a glance. Maybe he thought that if he couldn't see me, I couldn't see him. Ridiculous. They walked right past me, the gorgeous girl bumped into me and gave me a nasty glare.

Are you kidding me? He's not even going to say anything?

They were walking through the automatic doors when I finally snapped out of it and caught up to them. I tapped Jason on the shoulder. He slowly turned around and gave me a lazy smile.

"You do realise that you guys aren't invisible, right? I can see you!" I tried to sound angry, but even I couldn't hide the hurt in my voice.

"Oh, hey babe. Fancy seeing you here," he said nonchalantly.

"What? Don't try to 'babe' me! Why would you do this to me? To us?"

"Our relationship doesn't have to end. Just think of it as sharing me. It would be selfish to keep me all to yourself, babe," he smirked cockily.

"Share you? You're my boyfriend, Jason, not a toy! Did our relationship mean anything to you?"

"Of course. You're a great cook. Actually, can you make some dinner for Aleisha and I? We're having dinner tonight at my house. You can just drop it off," he gestured toward the barbie look-a-like. So that was her name: Aleisha.

"No! I not going to cook for you and.. Aleisha," I couldn't help the venom the involuntarily came along with her name. "I'm your girlfriend, this is our anniversary!"

"Look, Sheyla. You just weren't enough for me. You weren't giving me the things I needed, and you're boring as hell. You can't handle me. I'm giving you the privilege to stay in a relationship with me, but I can see that you're stupid enough to deny my offer," during Jason's little speech Aleisha kept giving me the dirtiest looks. She doesn't have the right to be mad at me! "Now as you can see, you rudely interrupted Aleisha and I," he harshly spat at me.
