BAD BOY'S CRUSH - Episode 26
(Who’s a player? ???)
Bella’s POV
Five years ago,
“Nicc who is a player? ”
He looked up to my face trying to get my question
“Player? Like a basket ball player? Football player or which one? ”
He asked back and I was even confused about the kinda player I wanted him to explain to me
“Normal around guys I think… Never mind I just heard a few guys speaking about it”
I waved it off when I read the expression on his face indicating how confused he was
He smirked
“Oh… Player! where did you hear that from? “He asked again and I was too shy to say whom I heard those words from for a while until he pressured me to tell him
“From Billy, you and that black guy from Chicago”
I replied hiding my face and he smirked again
“You heard pretty well, you wanna get spoiled huh! “He teased pinching my cheeks playfully
“Stop it! “I said half laughing as I beat his hands off my face
“You wanna know what that kinda player is? “… I nodded my head
He cleared his throat
“Do you know gamers play? ”
“Gamers? “I asked confused at that word
“Yeah like Basket ball, footbal and even handball”
I nodded my head, it was getting broader in my mindset
“How do they play “I asked him and he sighed in frustration
“I thought you said you knew how gamers play?… Now listen
When you hold a ball, what’s your goal? To either play into the net or to lose out right? ”
I nodded my head fixing my mind into an imaginary football field
He continued ;
“Players like Ronaldo, Messi don’t just play for fun, they play with passion and determination else they will lose the ball, but…. If the ball gets into the net… His goal is achieved ”
Confusing… I kept my mind straight to understand what he was heading at
“You don’t understand still? “He asked and I nodded
He hissed
“Lemme put it this way… “He cleared his throat before speaking up again
“Guys and ?îtçhes can be players alike
Players are soft, mostly handsome, very pleasant and knows how to be nice, they are calm and kind too but they’re green snakes ”
“Green snakes?? “I asked and he nodded
“Yes, they pretend to be good and make you believe that they love only you while their only goal on you is your pu$$y, once that’s achieved, the ball is dropped… That means you’re done for! ”
I got it! I was scared at first, how do you know them when you see them?
“They’re mostly bad guys too,remember… Be careful in the future if you’re ever gonna date”he adviced patting my shoulder
“How do you know them? “I asked and he started laughing
“There’s no way you can know them, just be careful! “He warned again
“Don’t get entangled with them no matter what, heard me? else you will get hurt in the end”he added and I nodded my head really terrified on how you can identify players when you see them
Present ?
Pamela, Aurora and Stacey kept mumuring as I stepped forward to talk to Chloe who was standing infront of me
“Look at Audrey, “I heard Pamela speak when Audrey walked past
“Hmmm, “Aurora mumbled
“She’s clearly dumped by Chloe now, I remember when she was the apple of his eyes “Pamela rattled
Audrey? She is one of Chloe’s girlfriend? I see why she kept asking me about Chloe if I knew him before or not! d@mn! I just identified this player!!
“Pam, won’t you shut up, can’t you see Chloe infront of us and you’re still speaking”Stacey cautioned but I heard her hiss at her
“Bella need to know the truth, she’s more perfect with Nicc by her side than this pervert who is a bad guy”she spoke again to my hearing
I gulped hard,
Chloe’s POV
They kept murmuring and murmuring until they dispersed remaining only Bella and I
I stepped closer to her with a smile on my face
I wanted to tell her now how I feel about her, I want to tell her to be my girlfriend
I wanted to tell her that I won’t make her cry and I will always be there for her, running to her whenever she needs me and to always be behind her incase she wanted to look back
“Bella”I called softly but the look on her face wasn’t encouraging enough
I stepped closer again and she cried out
“Don’t step closer any more! Stay there!! ”
I was puzzled by her behavior, do I smell?? Do I reek of the alcohol I took a while ago? Oh my bad! I told Zayn I don’t want to drink
Look what it have caused to me now
“Bella”I repeated
“Yes”
“I want to tell you something “I said bracing up myself for what I had to say
“Something like you being a player? Right?? I thought am your friend? I thought Nicc was worst not knowing you’re even a snake “she busted up and I my jaw dropped
Everything I wanted to say disappeared from my mind
“Uhm… Bella its not… ”
“Not what? You drink right? You smoke too?… “She stopped talking for a second
All my body was shaking and for moment I thought I was daydreaming
“I’m sorry but I don’t think I will be a friend to someone like you”
My legs seized at those words she just uttered before brushing past me…
I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out
I remembered Nicc’s exact words to me earlier
*You won’t win, Bella loved me from childhood, you think that would change cuz you came in? Know your place Chloe*
I sighed heavily as a sharp pain came in and out of my heart making me feel so shattered and broken
.
.
.
.
?Suzy?
I called one of my girlfriends
?Yeah baby, its been long… I kinda missed you so much
And who cared??
?let’s break up now
I cut in
?what! Why? Did I do something wrong?
She sobered making me more angrier
?I’ve broken up with you now! I’ve never loved you Suzy. I’m sorry
I hung up before she would utter another word that might make me pity her
I dialed another number
?Hey Angie
?Darling, you missed me already
I scoffed
?Let’s break up, I don’t love you anymore
I hung up after I said that dialing another number again
?Audrey??
She hissed before speaking
?you remembered me today? You got rejected?
I bit hard at her statement
?Let’s break up Audrey, I don’t love you anymore
?I knew that already the way you’ve been hovering around that nerd. I’m just waiting for you to tell me that you don’t love me anymore like you’re doing now
Why the long words then? I hissed
?It was fun with you Audrey but now, I’m done with you
I hung up dialing another number again
?Anna
?Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t sleep over at…
?I’ve broken up with you just now so don’t bother about sleeping over again
?Oh no! Are you that angry with me? I’m sorry….
I hung up on her, no need for long words please
I dialed another number
?Mabel
?jeez! You called me today?
?yes, that’s because I want to break up with you
?why? Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry…
?Don’t bother, I just stopped loving you
I hung up again dialing yet another number
?Cisca
?Hey boy, I missed you. I told my friends in school about you and they’re looking forward to meeting you
?oh really? Let’s break up then
?what! Why?
?Cuz you shouldn’t have told your friends about us, bye!
I hung up again dialing another and another till I was tired but I didn’t stop there
*Something like you being a player? Right?? I thought am your friend? I thought Nicc was worst not knowing you’re even a snake*
She called me a green snake! A fuvking snake! I wasn’t gonna be that way to her! Ayish!! This is ki||ing me! I won’t rest till I’ve broken up with all my girlfriends…
Bella’s POV
Come to think of it Bella…. My subconscious said to me
Why was I harsh that way towards him? What is my business if he was a player or not?
I just h@?? players, they get me scared… I assured myself
But, it is not my business still, I even compared him with Nicc who broke my heart
d@mn! Am I that nerdie?? Oh no!
Nicc was plain with me but he’s using his games on me…. Something said from inside me
Oh no! No one goes out into the rain no matter how much he wanted to play, he was cold the next day cuz of me… Oh! Don’t believe that! Remember what Nicc thought you
I’m as confused as ever
“Bella! “Nicc’s voiced called out my name
Hearing Nicc call out my name made me stumble and fall flat on the ground
I was embarrassed, I couldn’t even stand on my feet
Eyes followed me before laughters
My friends rushed to my side but backed away when Nicc stretched out his palm to me
“Here, get up”he said
I looked away immediately, why did I fall? Am I that clumsy around him? Why?
“Go away Nicc”
“Until you stand on your toes, am not leaving your side”he replied making my heart pound harder than normal
“I told you earlier that I need a span away from you”
“It won’t work on me Bella, cuz I think I love you”
Everything stopped moving around me for a while…
