Chapter 254 - Tired

When Rocky and Janet did not say anything, Matthew fronwed and said," And you both are letting her date? She is not even eighteen yet." 

" I'll turn eighteen in three months." Amy said.

Picking up his car keys, Matthew said," I'll drop you."

" But-"

" No ifs and buts Amy, you are too young to date." Matthew said.

" Well, you also started dating that girl, what was her name? Ummm Dori? Yes Dori, you dated Dori when you were in high school and-"

" Wait, who is this Dori?" Veronica asked.

Matthew widened his eyes in shock and said," No one."

" You had a girlfriend? Didn't you say that I was the first woman whom you were dating?" Veronica asked.

Matthew vigorously nodded his head and said," Yes yes you are."

" Then who is Dori?" Veronica asked.

" Ahhh I'll go otherwise I'll be late." Amy said before rushing outside.

" You-"

" Oli, I am still waiting for an explanation." Veronica said.

Just then Silvia arrived.

" Sil." Janet said before rushing towards her.

" Hey, you have a guest over?" Silvia asked.

Janet chuckled and said," They are not guests, even you know one of them."

" Really? Who?" Silvia asked.

" Ahh look at you Silvia, you have become so beautiful." Matthew said.

Silvia widened her eyes in shock and gasped," Brother Matthew?"

Matthew smiled and said," I am glad you remember me."

" Ahh this-how?-I mean.." 

Janet chuckled and said," I was shocked too."

Giving Matthew a hug, Silvia said," It's so nice to see you again."

" It's nice to see you too." Matthew said.

" But how? I mean-"

" It's a long story." Janet said.

" Ahh it's alright then, I am just glad that you are safe." Silvia said.

Turning towards Veronica, Matthew said," She is my wife, Veronica."

" Vero she is Janet's childhood best friend, Silvia." Matthew said.

Giving Silvia a hug, Veronica said," It's nice to meet you."

" It's nice to meet you too, sister-in-law." Silvia said.

" Ahh Sil you don't know, I also have the most adorable niece and nephew now." Janet said.

" Kids?" Silvia asked.

Veronica smiled and said," Yes, we have twins."

" That is lovely." Silvia said.

" Sil where is Kevin?" Rocky asked.

" He left early today." Silvia said.

Rocky raised his eyebrows and asked," Early? But why?"

When Silvia did not say anything, Janet said," Sil, are you both fighting?"

Silvia sighed and said," Kind off."

" But why? What happened?" Janet asked.

" We just couldn't- anyway, the conclusion is that Kevin is very angry." Silvia said.

" Did he call you or talk to you?" Rocky asked.

Silvia shook her head and said," No."

" Ahhh that is bad." Rocky said.

Pausing for a while, he said," When Kevin is super angry, it's very difficult to handle him."

" Really?" Silvia asked.

Rocky nodded his head and said," Seriously, he doesn't talk to anyone, stops eating, always has this very dangerous and sulky expression on and does weird unbelievable things which he regrets later."

Silvia sighed and said," He said that we have to go for a party in the evening but he is not taking me I guess."

" Ahhhh the party." Rocky said before turning towards Janet.

" Babe, it's our annual military gathering and we have to go." Rocky said.

Janet nodded her head and said," Alright."

" Bella, Martha and Silvia will be going too so you both don't have to worry." Rocky said.

Janet nodded her head and said," Alright."

" Ha don't count me in because I think my husband is going to abandon me tonight." Silvia said.

Janet chuckled and said," Now you have to coax him."

" I don't think so Kevin will abandon you at any cost." Rocky said.

" I wanted to meet your husband too but I guess this is not a nice time." Matthew said.

Silvia smiled and said," I'll bring him over someday."

...

Richards and Emily's place.

" I am not going anywhere with you." Emily shouted.

" Stop talking shit, you have to come with." Richard said.

Emily frowned and said," Well, why don't you take that chick of yours to the party?"

Things had turned really ugly between the couple and they were on the verge of breaking off. The only thing that was stopping them from getting divorced were their parents. 

Richard had stopped coming home and had also started seeing other women whereas Emily had also started seeing other men to satisfy her s.e.x.u.a.l needs but she also didn't stop thinking about ways to make Kevin hers again. 

Walking towards her, Richard squeezed her cheeks and said," Be good and get ready before 6, I'll come and pick you up."

" I am not going anywhere with you." Emily shouted.

Richard smiled and said," Even I don't want to take you anywhere with me but it's my dad who wants to take us in stupid party. So be good and don't provoke me to use force on you." Before letting go of her cheeks.

Picking up his office bag, Richard said," Sharp 6." Before leaving.

…..

Silvia's and Kevin's apartment.

4 pm.

Tossing her phone aside, Silvia sighed. She had been calling Kevin since morning but the latter decided not to receive it. 

Just then the doorbell rang.

Thinking that it must be Kevin, Silvia rushed towards the door and opened it.

" I was-" Silvia stopped when she saw Evie.

" I am leaving." Evie said.

Silvia sighed and said," My lecture didn't work right?"

" Sister Silvia I-"

Cutting her off, Silvia said," Never mind it's your life anyway." Before giving her a hug.

" Have a safe journey Evie and may you have a blissful life." Silvia said.

Just then Edward arrived and said," Evie it's time."

Evie nodded her head and said," Two minutes."

" I'll wait for you downstairs." Edward said before leaving.

" He is taking you to the airport?" Silvia asked.

Evie nodded her head and said," He wanted to."

" Ahh it's nice, what if next time you come and he doesn't want to drop you off at the airport anymore?" Silvia said.

When Evie did not say anything, Silvia said," I'll pray that Edward finds a woman who will value him and you my dear may find someone whom your father will like and approve of. You should go, he is waiting for you."

Giving her a weak smile, Evie left.

…..

Inside Edwards car.

" All done?" Edward asked.

When Evie nodded her head, Edward said," Let's leave then." before driving out of Lagoon Regency.

" Evie." Edward said.

" Hmmm."

" When will you come back?" Edward asked.

Evie shook her head and said," I don't know."

Keep quiet for quite sometime, Edward said," Dad wants me to get married or engaged to one of his business partners daughter."

When Evie did not say anything, Edward said," Evie, I am tired and I don't think so I can continue this way anymore."

Pausing for a while, he continued," It's not like I don't love you anymore or my feelings for you have changed. I still love you with all my heart and soul but this is not what I want from us. I just don't want us to sleep together like this knowing that we cannot be together because you don't want to."

" Ed-"

" It's not like my family is okay with me dating you. Don't forget that even my family hates your family but I never ever thought about breaking our relationship and even if my dad would've forced me too, I wouldn't have but everyone is different so I don't really blame you for that. You value your family's unfair decisions and reasons more than our relationship and I am okay with it." Edward said.

Pausing for a while, he continued," I just don't want us to just sleep together like this because I just don't want you to satisfy my s.e.x.u.a.l needs Evelyn. You mean so much more than that to me. I don't want to taint my pure and sincere love with something so absurd."

He then took a deep breath and said," After you left yesterday, I thought about it and I think it's time for me to move on in life. Since we don't have a future together and you have already given up it's useless for me to keep holding up. The willingness and determination to keep a relationship lively and smooth has to come from both sides. I don't want to be the only one holding up knowing that it's never going to happen. I am just f.u.c.k.i.n.g tired."
