The Bride

Holding the gift tightly, she felt tears welling up in her eyes again. “You’ll find someone better than me.” Hi Tristan.

‘Hi Ciara. Take care and call me if you need.”

When the door closed behind him, his world seemed to have ended and he sat with his head in his hands, his chest broken. ******************************

She sat in the back of the booth and tearfully opened Tristan’s present. Inside the box hung diamond earrings. They were the most beautiful earrings she had ever seen. Leaving him was the hardest thing for her and it broke her. He paid the driver and went into the block where Tanya lived and knocked on the door. As soon as the door opened, she immediately fell into his arms and began to cry on his shoulder.

Tanya led him to the couch and sat down, then opened a bottle of wine and poured each of them a large glass. – Now tell me what happened.

After telling her about the ring and how much Tristan loved her and begging her to stay, she fell again. ‘I wonder if I can stay here with you. Until I find a house and a job.

“You can stay here as long as you want. I want to ask you. Are you sure you made the right decision to leave Tristan? I mean, it looks like you love him too.

“I don’t believe in love.”

‘Ah, nonsense. I see the way you look at him, the way you smile when I say his name. So don’t say you’re not in love.

“It was just sex. When we first met, he asked me his friend and we were allowed to sleep together until one of us decided to finish. We weren’t meant to fall in love. We all had rules that he broke.”

“What rules?”

‘Don’t spend the night, don’t know each other personally. You broke the rules after sleeping with no one but each other. I often told him not to fall in love with me.

Tanya was shocked and never knew it was a deal between them. ‘Well, you guys got off to a weird start, but look what happened. You lived together, he gave you a job and you both enjoyed each other. That was love, and I fell in love with Tristan enough to admit it.”

“No, I do not have. I love her more than any man I know and it hurts to leave her.

Tanya put her hand on his shoulder. ‘Oh baby, you’re clearly in love. You just don’t know. Without you, it wouldn’t have been so hard.” I accidentally fell over the bag and spilled the contents, picked up a small box and put everything back. “What is this? she asked, holding it up to show Ciara. ‘This is my Tristan’s birthday present. I didn’t want to accept, but he insisted.”

Tanya opened the box and whistled loudly. ‘Wow, this is a beautiful, real diamond. I can only imagine what the ring looks like. I also bought you a present, but I don’t think I should give it to you.

“Why not?” He asked before he knew what was going to happen.

“It’s sexy underwear.”

“Oh, I can take it for a while.”

They stood until the sun began to rise. Tired of crying and talking, Ciara climbed into the bed in the living room. It was the first time in months without Tristan and she would miss him. If he didn’t drink a lot, he would never be able to sleep.

Meanwhile, back at Tristan, he wipes his eyes, goes back to his bedroom, gathers Ciara’s clothes, folds them, and puts them back in the suitcase. His heart ached and he ached and he had no choice but to sit down. Everywhere I looked I saw her coming out of the bathroom with just a short towel on the dressing table, but the worst part was the bed where she spends most of her time. It’s late, but he couldn’t sleep last night. So he took a pillow and went into the living room. There he went to the bar, got a glass and a bottle of Crown Royal, poured some into the glass, sat down and started drinking. He tried to forget the woman who stole his heart while he was drunk. Robbie was shocked to see Tristan’s appearance that evening. He opened the door, his shirt was unbuttoned, his hair was messy and he smelled of alcohol. “What do you want?” Tristan exclaimed.

“I’m here to give you this bottle of champagne for Ciara’s birthday.”

– Stop saying the names of the bitches around me. he said bluntly. The hall saw a few suitcases accidentally thrown out the door. “Where is he?”

“He’s gone, he’s moved.”

“I don’t understand, we were happy together, what happened?”

“You are you.”

– What have I done?

‘Tell me you love her before I lose her. That’s what I did and thank you. I shouldn’t have listened to you. Let me tell you about this brother. – He tapped Robbie’s chest with his finger. ‘I would never allow another woman to get close to me. Now I run and stop like before they come into my life.

He followed Tristan to the couch where he fell, picked up the bottle and immediately started drinking it. “I think you’re too drunk.” She tried to pull him out.

He took the bottle and looked into the hall. “I’m the one who will tell you to leave when you’ve eaten enough.” He closed his eyes and fell into a sleepy sleep.

He took the bottle from Tristan’s hand, took off his shoes, put his feet on the sofa and put a blanket over it. He sat down on the couch across from her and looked at her. He couldn’t let her choke on her vomit alone and she followed him until dawn. Then he saw the ring on the table, got up, picked it up and whistled. She knew Tristan liked Ciara, but she didn’t think he would propose to Ciara. Tristan awoke with a pounding headache and dry mouth to find his brother sleeping on another couch. Hell, he didn’t even remember coming. – Hey, Robbie woke up.

Yawning, stretching and looking up at Tristan. “It’s a stupidity.” I think you’d better make a lot of coffee.” I went into the kitchen, boiled a pot, took two cups and milk from the fridge. Hearing Tristan’s wobble, he turned and became one. of the chair. “When did you show up?” Tristan asked, rubbing his temples, trying to stop the head banging.

‘I can’t remember the time, but you’re a waste. I’ve never seen you like this. Can you tell me what happened last night and where is ciara?

He sat down again, drank coffee and told Robbie what happened, how they fought and how they found the ring. ‘He said he was going to do it with his friend Tanya. I want you to do me a favor and take his stuff to where it belongs.

“Tell him to talk to Tristan.” I’m sure you can figure it out.

He looked up with bloodshot eyes. ‘Nothing to say, he made his feelings very clear and he doesn’t love me. It’s all over and I don’t want to see his face or hear his voice. So are you going to take his stuff or not?

“Yes, I will after I leave,” he said, sipping his coffee. later:

Robbie knocks on Tania’s door with her bag, and when the door opens, her shoulders shake. He saw her a few times, but she was always dressed in a woman’s outfit, with her hair tied up and wearing scary glasses. But today she showed off her long legs in a short dress with her red hair hanging down to her shoulders.

“Is this the hall?” She opened the door to let him in and asked. He cleared his throat. “Yes it’s me.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Tristan asked me to put Ciara’s things down.”

“Five.” He looked at her and hesitated. – Do you want tea or coffee?

He knew her, he didn’t want to see her and he didn’t want to leave. ‘Give me some coffee. Maybe we can plan to bring the two lovebirds together. where is ciara

“He was still sleeping, getting up late and drinking a lot, so I thought it would be best to put him to sleep.” He responded by handing her a cup and they sat down at the table and talked. “Ciara isn’t the only one who drank too much. Tristan was completely passed out when I was there last night. I don’t understand your friend. She is so crazy about this man. Why did she turn her back on him and love him? “I know he loves her, but he has a reason. I don’t have to tell you.”

After talking about Tristan and Ciara they started talking and got to know each other better. The two turned their heads when they heard Ciara walk into the kitchen. “Robby, why are you here?” he asked confused.

“Tristan asked me to bring you your things.” He answered. He was shocked to see her and her eyes were bloodshot and teary. His face was pale and mottled as if death had vanished. He reached into the cupboard, got a mug, filled it with coffee and turned his back on her. “How is he?”

“Honestly, it’s not good. Ciara is heartbroken because there are so many men. I saw him drunk and he almost passed out. You hurt him a lot. How could you do this to him? He loves you very much.

She turned her back on him and tried to hold back her tears. – Do you think you like hurting him? Tristan is a wonderful person who is warm and loving and deserves to be with someone who can give him his whole heart. I’m not that kind of woman, so I have to give it up.”

‘Tristan never loved anyone and he really liked you. Now I’m afraid to go back to how it was. Booze, female use only, brawling and heartbreaking. We come from a family that never showed love and that’s what our parents taught us. But you changed him, made him a better person, showed you how to love, so I want to ask you again. Why are you doing this to him?

“What does this have to do with you?” Don’t you remember what you said to me, how you attacked me? – Then you didn’t pay attention to them. He said. His face turned red and he saw Tanya looking at him with a surprised expression. ‘I was a fool, but I tried to find out if you were with him for the money. When I found out it wasn’t you, I backed off. We were never close but he is still my big brother and I really love him. I told Tristan how I tried to kiss you and beat him up for it and he still punched me in the mouth.

“Do you?” she asked, shocked that he never mentioned it.

“Yeah, I wasn’t the only one hit. Do you remember Mr. Macon? When Tristan found out what he was doing to you, he went to him and told him why. Honey, let me tell you that the man loves you very much. Why don’t you go talk to him?

“I can’t, can’t you see how sick I am?” please get out, otherwise I will leave.

Robbie decided not to do that right now. “I’m hungry. I’m going to eat together,” he said.

Tanya opened her eyes and looked at Ciara. “Good idea. You need to get out of here and forget everything now.

“Come along. I’m not hungry. I think I’m going to bed.”

“I can’t leave you.” She wanted to go with him, but Tanya said.

“I insist, and besides, I’m sleeping.”

After making sure he was okay, Robbie and Tanya left with a thought. It broke her heart to think of Tristan’s face when he left her. He leaned against the door, rolled his eyes, and slid to the floor.

When Tanya returned blushing three hours later, she was looking for an apartment and a job with her laptop. “Oh my god, you had sex with Robbie, didn’t you?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He was standing across from Ciara with a big smile on his face. ‘Yeah, and it was great. Let’s go again this weekend.”

She shook her head and looked at her boyfriend. ‘Tanya, Robbie is like Tristan. He’s a player and he hurts you in the end. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go with him.” “I told you that about Tristan, but you didn’t listen.”

He took a deep breath and knew Tanya knew the point and had to tell him who he could date and who he couldn’t. – You’re right, I’ll stay away.

“You’re not going to get me and Robbie in trouble, are you?” I really like him and he likes me, so he’ll probably be here a lot.”

– I’m not going. Fortunately, I will soon have a house and a job. I wrote my CV and applied for an apartment. So I need to get my hair out of your hair as soon as possible. I have to post this.

“I can mail it to you.” Tanya held out her hand and said.

“Well, you were pretty nice to me.”

‘Ciara, I’m leaving anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Give it to me and I’ll deliver it to your mailbox.”

“Fine, thank you.” She gave them to him and said: I take Tanya, get up, take a bag, say hello and leave. He walks down the hall to the trash can. He took his resume and cover letter, tore them up and threw them in the trash. He couldn’t force Ciara to move or get another job because she and Robbie were planning on taking them together. In order to work while Tanya was away, she began to clean the entire apartment and prepare dinner. I spent the least amount of time at home. She made German Shepherd Pie and Salad. With Robbie, it would be weird to remind him of Tristan because Tristan is so similar. It would not be difficult for me to find a good place to stay, as staying with him saved me some money, and I was waiting to hear from one of the hosts. The job could be more difficult, and he got a good offer from Mr. Milton, but he didn’t ask Tristan for it.

Tanya arrived with a few bags of groceries and packed everything up before sitting down to eat.

‘I told you to go see a movie in the lobby tomorrow night. Hope you’re well. If this is inconvenient, we can always go to the movies.”

‘This is your house and I am just a guest. Everything will be fine. Anyway, I’ll probably read it in my room. Did you email me the articles?

“What happened?”

“What about my apartment application and resume?”

– Oh, he, yes, yes, of course. I sent everything.

“Fine, thank you.” He said he thought Tanya was acting strange. ‘Would you like to ask Robbie to bring my things, personal things from my office? I can’t risk meeting Tristan and seeing the pain in his eyes.

“I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.”

“Why do you say that?”

Tanya knew she had said too much, but she thought she should tell Ciara what she knew. ‘Robbie says Tristan is no longer ill and is upset. He says he doesn’t want to see you again and is dating again. I’m sorry, Ciara.

“Why are you sorry?” I didn’t expect Tristan to become a monk. I knew he was seeing other women. I’m not the type of person who doesn’t spend a lot of time with women.” She said these words without any emotion, but she died at the thought that he was in love with another woman. ‘I’ll take things to the hall tomorrow. Let’s drink wine, watch a horror movie and forget about Tristan’s heart”.

Wine, popcorn and horror movies huddled in the blankets and jumped up with a terrifying sound, spilling popcorn everywhere. The two looked at each other and smiled as if they were meeting for the first time and jumped at the sound of watching a horror movie together.

“We need a man to hold us when we’re afraid.” She looked at Ciara and smiled. ‘I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. I hope you forget Tristan and don’t think about him.

“Okay, really.” Actually, Tanya was right. Whenever she and Tristan saw a movie like this, they would hug and protect her and take her to her bedroom to forget all the horrors and horrors she had seen on the screen. ‘It’s late and I think I should go to bed now. It was a good night thanks to Tanya’s entertainment.

“Night Ciara.”

Not wanting to go back to an empty apartment, Tristan decided to stay in the office and work. He opened his bag and took out his laptop. The only fire burning was the fire on the desk. There was a knock and he entered the hall.

“Dammit, can you light a candle?”
