THE OTHER GIRL

*clearing cobwebs* yes, I know, I am a horrible blogger. I am sorry for leaving for so long but I have really really really been too lazy busy to update. I am here now and I really really (don't mind the number of "really" I type, its for emphasis) hope you guys are not too angry with me (which means nobody will read or comment on this post which will make me very very sad). 

You know I'm not good with apologies, I am really trying my best here..........

OK then, thank you for forgiving me, you guys are the best!

*waving at my new followers* welcome lovely people, thank you for following my boring awesome blog.

Tee is my prince charming, my baby, my boo. He’s everything the romance novels I’ve been reading since primary school described. He’s tall, dark, handsome and sweet. If you are part of the people that still wonder if the “butterfly in the tummy effect” is real, please wonder no more. It’s as real as the sky is blue.

So I had given up on love after so many attempts. I thought there was no such thing as prince charming and butterflies and happily ever after……..those only exist in novels. I was so wrong.

I love Tee, he loves me……I was living the dream. 

I took my bath as I sang “just the way you are” the fifteenth time. Tee makes me giddy. I will be seeing him soon. Its Saturday, the only day in the week we spend alone, away from all the stress and drama of work and family. The only day that makes my weekdays bearable.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled.

“I love how you paint your face” he would say

“duh……its not paint, its makeup”

“what’s the difference?”

“I don’t know, I just know it’s different”   I always say and he would continue teasing me.

One last look at the mirror and I was out of the door.

He opened the door and smiled at me…..the captivating, endearing smile and my insides turned to jelly. He still has that effect on me, one look into his eyes and the butterflies threaten to jump out of my tummy. It’s been 2 months; I’m supposed to be immune to his charms now.

There’s this thing about Tee; he knows everything. He knows what I want, when I want it, how I feel…………..everything. So I was not surprised when I got inside and saw all my special delicacies served in a mouth watering way.

“What’s the occasion?”

“Just celebrating you”

Now who said I can’t be happy? Who said I’m not the luckiest girl in the frigging world? Who said………………………..I can keep asking the questions but he was saying something.

“You’ve brought so much joy into my life these past months……………” I was no longer listening. Who said you have to die to be in heaven? I was there already.

I was smiling…….no, grinning like a five year old.

We ate and laughed and joked and had a wonderful time and then it was time to go

As I was about opening the door, he pulled me back and held me close

“There’s something I need to tell you”

“You love me. I know”

I pulled him closer and kissed him

“Yeah I do but that’s not it……….you may need to sit down”

It’s too soon to propose, isn’t it? Yeah, I thought so too. I’m saying yes anyways.

“I love you and I can’t live without you”

Huge smile

“But last year, my parents arranged for me to get married to a girl……”

WHAT!?

“We are not married yet, we are just engaged…………… and she's coming over next week”

I felt weak. All the butterflies died and they are secreting a very toxic poison in my system.

“Why are you telling me now?”

“Because I don’t want to lose you, I still love you”

Tee is my prince charming, my baby, my boo and right now, I feel like putting a bullet through his head.
