GAVIN’S POV
“I think its about time Sam. You can now call off the wedding. I will take care of your parents.”
I knew Bree is there listening to our conversation. And yes this is still part of our plan.
But I can’t help it anymore. I have been waiting for too long. If Bree really loves me then why can’t she breakup with Seb? Why can’t she admit to her self that I am the one she really love and not Seb.
Maybe we just want to let ourselves believe the things that we want to believe.
Sam for hoping that Seb will finally learn to love her that’s why she make her self believe that Aubree loves me.
While me, because I love her too much that I was convinced by Sam’s own beliefs.
And this plan, is it really worth it?
“Sam this is not right.” I said softly.
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
“This plan. We are deceiving everyone.” I told her.
“Yes. But its for our own good Gav.” She said.
I shook my head. “Yes OUR. Because all of this were the product of our selfishness.”
“W-what? We have talked about this Gav.” Sam said a bit frustrated.
“Yes Sam, but I’ve realize that this isn’t love. Love should not be deceitful and most especially not selfish. We are doing this out of our selfishness.” I said.
“Have you thought about Seb? What will happen to him if he lose Bree?” I saw sadness in her eyes.
Sorry Sam but we need to face and accept the truth.
“Maybe your right when you told me that MAYBE Bree loves me, that she was deceived by her dream of happily ever after with Seb. But what about Seb? We all know that ever since this whole plan started her heart shouts for Bree alone. He can’t even look at other girls, even to you.” I explained at her.
I know its not comforting but I think this is what we need.
“If that happens I will be there for him. I will never leave him.” She answered.
“That is what I mean by selfishness. We all know our real motive on this plan. And its not for the ones we love, but for our selfish love.” I said.
“And on the second thought, love is not selfish. So this is not love.” I concluded.
“What are you talking about Gav?! We are so close with our plan. Why back out now Gav?” then she started crying.
I hug her. “I know Sam. And I’m sorry if I realize this just now. Maybe just like you I became selfish.”
She removed herself from my hug and she looked at me.
“And now?” She asked.
I cupped her face. “My love for Aubree is overpowering my selfish desired. Even if you are right, that she really love me, I will still do everything just to spare her from hurting. She had enough. That’s the least that I can do for her.”
“But she loves you!” Sam keep on insisting.
“If she really love me, then I will be glad to welcome her with open arm.” I said while smiling at her.
“So its all up to her now?” She said.
I smiled and nodded.
“And as per you young lady, I think its about time to be honest with Seb. Stop this pretend thing and confess to him.” I said.
I saw fear in her eyes. “He will just reject me. And worst he will avoid me.”
“Its his lost Sam. You are a great woman. You deserve the best. And if you will asked me, I don’t like him for you not because he is my love rival from Bree but because I don’t think he is man enough to love someone.” I seriously said.
I saw her sighed. “Okay if that’s what you want. And as for my confess issue, I’ll think about it. I’m still scared.”
I nodded at her. I understand her and I will respect her decision.
