Lost Love

Chapter 40

The next few weeks passed uneventful- I went to work, Micheal took me out on dates and Christian called once in a while. Everything was perfect and I was really happy. I decided it was time Christian met Micheal; I discussed it with Micheal and he agreed with me.
I texted Christian and told him we should meet up at the same restaurant we met. He agreed to it and soon enough we were driving down to the restaurant. I spotted Christian sitting down at the same table we met. He stood up when he saw me and came over to hug me and kiss my cheeks. The hug lasted longer than usual making me feel uncomfortable till Micheal cleared his throat making Chris release me.
I moved away from him and introduced Micheal.
"Christian, this is Micheal; my boyfriend and Micheal, Christian; a friend"
Christian looked at me and for a brief moment I saw a look of hurt and anger on a face but as quickly as it came, it vanished so I might have imagined it.
He shook Michael's hand and we all sat down. Few moments into our food that we ordered, I noticed Christian's hands shaking. I looked at him and saw his face all red and sweaty. Before I could touch him, he jerked up from the table and told us he was leaving.

Christian's POV
As always, Charlie always looked so beautiful; today was not an exception. Dressed in those tops that showed the navel, a pair of shorts, a leather jacket and sneakers, she looked breathtaking. I hugged her so tight and couldn't resist giving her a peck on her cheek.
When she texted me that she wanted to see me, I was so happy. I would do anything for us to be together again.
I quickly dressed up and drove down to the restaurant we first met. I just couldn't wait to see her.
She was looking absolutely stunning; I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was like an angel but when a guy cleared his throat and she moved away from me, I felt cold being out of her embrace.
Words can't even describe my pain when she introduced him to me as her boyfriend. I didn't even know she had one. I felt really hurt and angry. I went through all the trouble of looking for her just to find out she has a boyfriend??!!
I started twitching, I couldn't sit still anymore and anymore moment spent in their company would make me lose it. I didn't want Charlie to see me like the beast I was gonna turn into if I didn't leave immediately and take my meds. In all my happiness, I forgot to carry along my medications. In my defense, I didn't know she was gonna spring up such information on me. This was just too much for me. I stood up ignoring her concerned expression and drove off to the hotel I was currently staying in.
How would she get a boyfriend? I was her first boyfriend. It should have been me in his position. I should be the one touching her, kissing her, holding her not some man she just met.
I made up my mind to do something about it. I wouldn't let my Charlie go without a fight,I will make sure of that. It's either she's with me or nobody gets her. Satisfied with that, I tried to calm my breathing down so I could drive carefully. I wouldn't be of any use to myself if I wanted to get Charlie while lying in an hospital bed.
