The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

Fuck! I see Tobias, by the door, it was open I must have forgotten to close it, he was crying, he was hurt, I looked at Becca she had a guilty look but it changed almost immediately as it came, I went after Tobias knowing fully well where he would be and what he would be up to at this moment, I hated doing this, comforting someone that isn’t my brother but Tobias is like a brother to me and I want to make him happy, I followed after him, curse his long legs he was already at the small bar Lucas had, drinking, what should I say? What should I do? I sat next to him and asked him to pour a glass of whiskey for me. I’d rather be his drinking buddy than to talk right now, at least this way he will know I am here for him.

“I love her so much” he finally spoke after thirty minutes of just sitting there and drinking, “I know,” I replied still drinking, “what am I going to do? I can’t just forget about her just like that.”

“I know,” I replied again. Will you just keep replying “I know” or you will give me advice, uhm I cleared my throat, well you should take time to grieve, I answered him.

What is that? It not like she’s dead or something, Tobias says and continue drinking, this is why I don’t like giving out advice especially to you, I mutter glaring at him, why not just move on from her, Becca is not the only girl in this town that want you, some will even die just to go on a date with you, is she worth the wait? Ask yourself that but if you think she is worth the wait then, find a new source of joy, like what? I thought about it, you did say building things from scratch makes you happy. Why don’t you try that, at least that would get your mind away from all the stuff happening right now.

“Thank you Arya.”

“Please don’t cry, I hate when I see a man cry.”

” I wasn’t crying you know,” I just had an allergic reaction to uhm… to what? To the door, that’s not… a thing to be allergic to.

It is! you don’t know everything Arya, am allergic to the door and that’s final, fine! Whatever you say I tried to leave but he held my hand, what is it now? Can you… talk to Becca for me.

You know I won’t do what you are trying to ask me to do, fine don’t talk about me but am sure she needs someone by her side, can you be there for her, he looked at me with his puppy eyes, he does that when he wants something from me, alright I’ll do it but only because you are annoying me right now and you will continue to bother me until I agree to it, oh, “I love how you know me so much, thank you for this” he pecked my cheek making me blush, ugh it not everyday you get a peck from someone so handsome, I do admire Tobias a lot, I’ll just talk to her and…

“Is she crying?” I opened her door and went to it, she was wiping her tears when she noticed me, “I can’t believe you are seeing me like this” she sniffles, I don’t normally cry, I just hate what is happening to me.

Why don’t you want to be with Tobias, I-I-I d-don’t have a choice, she grumbles.

“Everyone has a choice,” I yelled back at her getting annoyed, then I remembered Tobias saying she needs someone, I sigh, “am your friend right?” She scoffed, you are my best friend, I giggled.

You know he won’t move on. “He has to, he’s no longer a child, he can’t wait for me forever” she answered getting frustrated, Becca, it not easy letting go of someone you love, he will wait for you, am sure of that, she sigh, “am leaving tomorrow,” you are running away again.

I can’t… I can’t be here, I nod, doesn’t matter where you run to just remember this “one of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to fall in love” I hope we keep in touch, I hope so, I’ll might be busy when I go back, but I’ll make time to call and chat you up. Good, take care of yourself, goodnight.

Just as she said, the following day, she was gone, Isa cried when she didn’t see her go, thank God she woke me up before leaving, I tried waking Isa but she didn’t wake up, I had to call Becca to speak to her, and when she did, whatever she said to Isa made her very happy that she dropped the phone and ran straight to her room, I followed after her only to see her opening a box that held a black card, I gasp, mama what is this? Thank God Becca was still on the line, Bella, that my gift to you, use it to buy anything you want.

“Really? You mean if I use this card? I can buy anything?” Yes Bella, thank you aunt Becca, anything for you kiddo, mama am going to show uncle T what aunt Becca gave me, he will be so jealous she giggled running off to wherever Tobias was, I laughed knowing fully well how Tobias would react to this, thank you Becca, sure anything for her, I need to go now, talk to you later. She cut the call before I could say bye, just like her brother.

Speaking of her brother, I have not seen him today. I hope he is not planning anything. I am too tired to leave the house. I sigh, finally getting a minute to myself not until I hear loud footsteps coming down and Tobias yelling my name ARYA! I groaned, “what is it now? Did you see what Becca gave to Isa?” I did and so what? He was surprised by the tone of my voice, she doesn’t need this kind of stuff, she has to be at least fifteen or something, what doesn’t she need Lucas asked coming in, oh, you are back? Yes, what is going on here he crossed his arms, your sister gave Isa this card, Lucas took the card from him mumbling “she beat me to it.” What?

“Please don’t tell me you were going to give her one as well,” he nod taking out his own as well, what should I do, I’ll just give her the two cards, my princess deserves everything right? he stared at the two card confused, I looked at him as if he was crazy. No, no we are not keeping the two cards, “why not mama?” Isa pouted, “you don’t need two cards, but buy it from Aunt Becca and Daddy, it is my gift, they bought it for me.”

If only she understands the use of what she is getting, Isa you don’t need thi-s she huffed “mommy please” she said cutely, I sigh, everytime she calls me mommy it makes me happy and want to give in to anything she demands. I looked at Lucas and he wanted to give it to her but Tobias kept mouthing NO, I know he just wanted Becca’s card to keep it in his collection of Becca’s stuff, dude is getting obsessed, just hope he won’t do anything crazy.

Fine! She can keep both cards but you must ask us before you use it to buy anything, okay baby? Yes mommy she got so excited when I handed the two cards to her, I am so going to regret this I mumbled going up stairs to rest, I needed to sleep but some big demons won’t just let me rest.

Why did you let her keep it Arya? Tobias says, am tired T, I want to sleep but he didn’t care. He kept talking which was bothering me. I got frustrated and threw the vase on my bedside at him, but he dodged it. Are you trying to kill me? what would Becca say if you scar my pretty face, he said moving his hand dramatically, she would be happy to see a scar on your face maybe she will find you older when you get a scar, I heard her fiancée has one and he looks hot with it maybe if you got one she would consider being with you I chuckled by my idea.

You mean that? Tobias was getting excited by the offer, “I was just joking T,” don’t even think about it, but you just said I have a baby’s face, don’t change my word T, you are handsome the way you are. I knew you have a crush on this my beautiful face, ugh in your dreams, you don’t want to know… dude, seriously don’t finish that word just get out I want to rest, I heard the door closing when I tried to sleep again I heard someone coming thinking it was T again I took my phone and threw it at the person not even realizing who it was, ouch the person says.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
