“What did you say?.. do you mean the fucking slut who did all this is…” Angelo walked in and Emiliano turned his chair away, while Mario cursed several times because his brother had been in the dark all this time and knew nothing of Emiliano and Tara’s past. In fact Emiliano made sure that Angelo never found out that at some point the two fell in love with the same woman.
“Yeah… whatever you heard is the truth… Tara is the same woman who hurt him”Mario said because he had no choice than to say it all, it was about time his brother knew that his woman did some shady things and was the cause of all the problems they had to face in the past.
“This is a lie… Emil would have told me… but… how is this possible”Angelo was coming fused as he desperately held Mario by his shirt wanting nothing but for them to say it was a joke but when he glanced at Emiliano, he could see that same pain his friend went through that pathetic night. Not just that night, but he saw how Emiliano was dedicated to the woman he fell in love with.
Flashback
It was their first year at university and Emiliano being a rich kid was at an expensive university doing his engineering program after completing his first business studies as requested by his parents, and hence he was well known especially for his good looks and charming personality. Angelo was at a different law school together with Tara, which wasn’t where it all started. Angelo and Tara met a few times around the city before they fell in love and when they got to university they cemented their relationship and became a couple.
“This feeling is the bomb Emil,”Angelo had told Emiliano when he visited him at the hostess, and he recalled Emiliano laughing at him for being a jerk. To Emiliano falling in love was just a piece of crap and only brainless jerks felt love or believed it was a true feeling.
“I think you need a doctor, how can you fall in love at first sight… this isn’t a movie”Emiliano had remarked with a sarcastic chuckle as he moved around his room, Angelo loved Emiliano’s room because it was always clean and the man unlike others who shared a room he had liked an apartment full of whatever he needed.
“Come on… do you know that feeling you get when you see the bright beautiful eyes of the woman you love..? Emil its unexplainable… I love her smile, her nature and everything about her”this time Angelo laid on his back as a charming smile crept on his face and took the pillow near him and snuggled it in his chest. Emiliano stopped what he was doing and glanced back at his friend acting like a lunatic in love instead of focusing on his studies but Angelo was already dreaming like a girl, and hence there was no stopping him.
“Whatever I’m going to the library”Emiliano said that and took his backpack and jacket.
“The school library?”Angelo opened his eyes and asked him but Emiliano shook his head as he gathered his phone, laptop and iPod and shoved them in his pack
“Nah, the community one… I need some books from there”he replied and left the room leaving Angelo smiling to himself.
“Bring back a girl for once damn it!”he shouted after Emiliano which was a bad idea because what he got was more F words from his friend which had Angelo laughing, Emiliano looked as if he never said any foul words, but the man was someone not to mess with besides being a clean freak who loved things wrapped nicely.
As usual Emiliano left the hostels and headed to the nearest library in his sports car, he hated it when his dad sent drivers to make his life a nightmare which made his friends at the university to fear him some wanted to be friends with him all because of his money and status while girls three themselves at him and never missed a chance to flirt with him.
“Damn it”he muttered a curse as he searched for a spot to park his car and when he spotted the only one to the left which was far away from the entrance, he went for it, parked his car and stepped out of his car. To prevent being recognized he out on a red cap covering half of his face and sunglasses and a black hoodie on top and made his way to the library building however as he walked while pressing on his phone so to put it on silent, he bumped into someone, and they stumbled back and both of them landed on the ground as the things they were holding scattered around.
“Damn it”he cursed again as he raised his head only to see a petite girl covering her entire face with a back cloth gathering her books which he obviously made her drop.
“S… sorry”he heard her say as she grasped his phone which was to her side in a small hand and shoved it at him without even looking at him, and he took it brushing his hand against her fingers lightly. Emiliano didn’t say anything as he concentrated on what she was doing and when she had gathered her books she rose to her feet and left heading towards the parking area.
“How rude,”he muttered and made his way inside the library, he was sure the girl didn’t know who he was because just like the rest of them, she would have flirted with him.
Emiliano said a few charming words to the librarian lady because he took a few books and his due date for returning them had passed, and hence it was a crime, but he knew just what women like to hear even if they were young or older, they all fell for sweet words and compliments.
“Aww how lovely, don’t worry I’ll spare you on this one”the lady said with giggles and Emiliano smiled faintly as he shoved the books inside her little cabinet just as someone pushed him from behind.
“Ella I don’t see why you keep excusing us like this”he heard a melodious soft voice speak and beside her saw the beauty he fell in love with at first sight.
“Hey Tara, I see you too didn’t bring the books on time”the lady shifted her attention to the beautiful girl Emiliano had ever seen, from her milky skin to her curly brown her and her smile, she was dressed in a denim shirt dress reaching just above her knees and at first glance Emiliano knew she was no ordinary girl.
“Sorry, had a wild party during the weekends hence…”Tara leaned forward to the counter and whispered with a sly smile and Emiliano watched her behavior which he found cute.
“Haha I see your sister just left a few minutes ago, and look this gentleman here also came late”the lady said took the books and turned to put them away and only then did Tara shift her attention to Emiliano and smiled cutely at him.
“Hey lover boy”she remarked while biting her lower lip which made Emiliano’s inside feel strange as he gathered words to say.
~Author’s note~
Hello readers so take note, the first lady Emiliano bumped into outside the library was Sia, so technically these two had met before but had no idea.
