Today is our first date. The day started out swell and ended up nicely with a stroll on the beach with the beautiful night sky right above us. There was a cool wind breeze flying our way which was pretty relaxing. I was holding onto Leila’s hand feeling more than happy that she is finally with me now. I didn’t expect her to accept me, but now that she did, I guess it’s a good thing for both of us. Now I am able to protect her and she won’t feel scared or lonely anymore. I just wish that her mental sickness would go away soon, sometimes she cannot control herself, and I somewhat feel worried about her condition. I really want to take her to go see a psychologist so they can help, but Leila would always refuse to go. The problem is I don’t know why she hates it so much to go see a psychologist. It’s only for the best of her but she wouldn’t accept it. I know that I can’t force her, but I’ll try my best to talk her into it because only by seeing a psychologist can help her sickness go away right now.
“Ron?” Leila finally spoke
“Yeah?” I replied as I looked at her
“You’ll always stay by my side right?” Leila asked
I stopped walking then held her hand tighter as I gazed into her eyes “Of course I will. I’ll always be beside you to help you, I promise.”
Leila then wrapped her arms around my chest as she lied on it. I know exactly how she felt at that moment; she needs to feel the protection, the warmth. So I held her back tightly, giving her whatever she needs. I’ve fallen too deeply in love with Leila that I find myself only spending my time with her. She’s the only girl that I actually love and I know for a fact that she will be the one and only one. I can sacrifice just about anything to make her happy again.
“I’m scared Ron. I’m scared that one day I can’t control myself and then I’ll hurt you.” Leila said. I could tell that she’s about to break into tears.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.” I comforted. I then pulled her away from me then said “Maybe if you would go see a psychologist then they can help you.”
Leila then took her hands away from mine and stepped back “Why must you make me go there all the time? I don’t want to.” She then turned her face away from me
I faced her once more “Leila, you have to listen to me. I only want the best for you; I don’t want you to be like this anymore. The only way that can help you right now is that you have to go see a psychologist.”
“You don’t know what it’s like to be in there. They pressure you with so many questions that I cannot answer, I feel scared and infuriated when I’m there!” Leila cried
Seeing her like this broke my heart, I know it must hurt her a lot, but this is the only way.
I hugged her tightly into my arms and said “You don’t have to worry, they are only helping you. After they asked you the questions then they can help you. I will be there with you.”
“Really?” Leila asked, her eyes glistening with tears
I nodded my head assuredly “I’ll make an appointment for you okay?”
Leila stood there thinking for a while then she finally agreed. I’m happy that she agreed, but at the same time I felt worried. I’m afraid that she cannot handle all the questions that the psychologist will ask her then she’ll feel really interrogated.
++Tavia’s POV
I’m glad that things between Raymond and I has been cleared out. Now I don’t have any secrets to be hiding from him anymore. What’s most important in a relationship is that the two has to be honest with each other. The truth is, I felt horrible to have to keep the secret from Ray, I felt like I was cheating on him or something, but now that I finally told him, it’s like there’s no burden on me anymore, I could finally sigh in relief.
Raymond has invited me to his house to watch the soccer tournament. In fact, I really don’t find anything interesting in soccer at all, but since Ray likes it, I hope to learn to like it. The whole night I felt bored, I tried to pay attention to the soccer game, but it really didn’t attract me. I look over at Ray to see his happy and exciting face while watching soccer and then I suddenly realized that we really don’t have anything in common. The things he likes, I don’t like, and the things I like, he doesn’t like. It’s so weird how we both are completely different person but still can get together.
“Tavia, Belgium won!” Raymond shouted happily “I knew they’d beat Germany! Hah!”
I faked a smile and replied “Oh that’s great.”
“Yep. Qian lost the bet!” Raymond yelled
“What?” I asked confusedly
“Well, I bet that Belgium will win this game and Qian betted that Germany will win.” Raymond replied
“Oh I see.” I answered “What did you guys bet on?”
“Whoever loses has to treat the other to dinner.” Raymond responded “We didn’t want to bet on something too much, a dinner is fine.”
I smiled lightly and said “Yeah.”
“Well, I’m going to call her now, see what her reaction is.” Raymond told me as he smiled to himself. He then took out his phone and dialed in Qian’s number, I looked at him closely as he does so.
“Hey Qian is that you?” Raymond asked “Oh okay. Well, HAH I won the bet! I told you that Belgium is going to win, and you didn’t believe me.” ….”Hey, I’m not bragging, it’s true! Now you have to treat me to dinner!”
I listened as he talked happily to Qian. At that moment, I felt weird. It seems like Qian is Raymond’s girlfriend, not me. I then realized that he’s been always talking about her and going into her business. Is it because he likes her? I don’t know, I don’t want to know. Everything that I’ve been seeing with my eyes is telling me that it’s true; the person Raymond really likes is Qian. He talked to her for another ten minutes and he finally hung up.
“What did she say?” I asked curiously
“It was nothing important. Let’s just finish watching.” Raymond said as he turned his attention to the television.
I felt so horrible right there, it’s like he doesn’t even care or know how I’m feeling. Is he really that stupid or is it that I don’t look angry enough for him to notice? The truth is I’m burning on the inside. I felt so angry that he’s ignoring me like this and not knowing how I really feel. Can’t he see that I’m bored? Can’t he see that I am mad when he talks to another girl while his girlfriend is just right next to him? I got so angry that I took my purse and headed out to the door. He finally noticed me.
“Tav, where are you going?” Ray asked
I turned around and asked back “You finally notice me now?”
“Tavia, what’s going on?” Raymond questioned
“Do you even care about my feelings Raymond?” I asked again “Do you?”
“Of course I do.” Raymond replied “What’s the problem here?”
I looked at him disappointedly “If you would pay attention to my feelings and think for me then you would probably know what the problem is, but you didn’t! I don’t want a boyfriend like you anymore!” With that, I stormed out of his house.
++Raymond’s POV
After Tavia stormed out of my house, I stood there dumbly still trying to figure out why she was so angry at me. I’m really no good at predicting what girls are feeling. They are so unpredictable, one minute they’re all happy and then the next they act like it’s the end of the world. Girls can be quite unreasonable sometimes like Tavia. How am I suppose to know the problem if she didn’t tell me? I tried calling her but she didn’t answer my calls, she still must be mad at me. I then called Qian and asked her if she could come over to my house so that I can ask her if she might know why Tavia is so angry.
“Ray, what’s going on?” Qian asked as she sat down next to me
“I don’t know myself.” I replied “It’s Tavia, we were having a good time then all of a sudden she was angry then stormed out of the house.”
“Well, did you do anything to upset her?” Qian asked
“No! We were just watching the soccer game, at first she seemed to be happy, but then later on she became angry.” I explained
“Hmmm…” Qian thought “I heard that she doesn’t like watching soccer games that much.”
“Is that it?” I asked “She didn’t have to be so angry just because of that.”
“Actually, I don’t think she would be so angry just for a soccer game, there must be something else.” Qian assumed
“Well what is it then?” I asked again
“How should I know? You were the one who was with her the whole time!” Qian shouted at me
“I really don’t know.” I replied
“Okay, think real hard. Try to remember exactly what you did.” Qian suggested
“Well, first I called her and asked her if she wants to come to my house so we can watch the soccer game, she said yes then came to my house fifteen minutes later. I then went to take a soda for her and some popcorn, turned on the television and watched the soccer game and-“ Qian then cut me off
“Wait a minute.” Qian said “So you were just watching the soccer game the whole time and did not talk to her at all?”
“Well, I did talk to her after Belgium won the game.” I replied “I told her that I won the bet between you and me.”
“And then you called me after that right?” Qian asked
“Yeah.” I replied
“Ohhhh….” Qian said “I get it now.”
“What is it then?” I asked curiously
“I think she’s jealous of you and me.” Qian replied
“What?” I asked in disbelief
“You were talking to me for about ten minutes and did not pay attention to her; I think she’s mistaken us to be…you know.” Qian explained
“Oh my god, why didn’t I notice that before?!” I asked myself, feeling so stupid.
“Because you’re so stupid like that!” Qian yelled at me
“What should I do now?” I asked
“Go call her and explain, buy flowers to cheer her up or something!” Qian suggested
“Right.” I said “I’ll go call her, be right back.” I then ran into my room
++Qian’s POV
I sat there wondering to myself, does Tavia know that I like Raymond? If she does then this will be really bad because I truly do like Raymond. I’m scared to be the third wheel into their relationship; I really don’t want to ruin it. Let’s just hope that she’ll forgive Raymond and everything will be fine again. Two minutes later Raymond came out of his room with a hopeless face on.
“So, did you call her yet?” I asked
“I tried many times, but she hasn’t picked up.” Raymond explained “She probably doesn’t want to talk to me.”
“Don’t worry, I believe she will soon. Just wait for her to call you back or maybe you can come to our company to look for her yourself. Try to cheer her up and I’m sure everything will be fine.” I comforted
Raymond gave out a heavily sigh “I just really hope the things you said will come true.”
After that, I hailed a taxi and got home. The whole night I couldn’t sleep, still thinking about that problem. I’m really scared that Tavia would not forgive Raymond, and then she’ll be mad at me too. I’m scared that they will break up and I will feel so guilty. I’m also worried about Raymond, you can tell that he really likes her.
