THE BAD BOY'S OBSESSION - CHAPTER 33&34
❃ I love you, Stefan ❃
“We once kissed here, right?” Stefan asked Sunniva, who is sitting on the bed with him. They’re currently in his room together.
After the short kiss they had shared earlier in the living room with everyone present, Stefan had actually brought her to his room and that would be the first word he’d said to her ever since.
“Do… you remember anything?” Sunniva asked carefully.
“Just a little…I guess” He mumbles, his expression down, his mood has actually gotten dampen ever since he shared the kiss with Sunniva.
He could remember the sad, disappointing look Fina had on when she watches them kiss, it broke his heart, and he h@??d himself for that.
“Stefan I…” Sunniva bit her lower lip, feeling super guilty for what she has done.
Not like she ever wanna come and lie to him like this.
She had no choice but to since Franco thr_@tens her to.
She never wanted it.
“I…I think I have to leave” She got up with Stefan raising his head up to her.
“You’re leaving…so soon?” He questioned.
“I’m sorry…” She only said in a breaking voice, exiting his room.
*. *. *
“I’ll be leaving tomorrow, I booked a flight already” Fina suddenly announced, to Mrs Bieber. They’re currently in the living room.
“Tomorrow?” Mrs Bieber asked a bit surprised.
“I was supposed to leave days ago, I couldn’t cause of what happened to Stefan. Franco was right, maybe it’s a good thing he doesn’t remember me after all. He won’t have to suffer the pain of me leaving… it’ll be easier for me… to leave also” She replied solemnly.
Mrs Bieber sighs.
“My dear…” Mrs Bieber put her palm on hers.
“It must be tough on you too… I’ll make sure to look after him” She assured, Fina nods with tears strolling down her cheeks.
“Does Stefan knows about this already?” Mrs Bieber asked. She shook her head.
“I’ll let him know…later”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes…” She sniffs, smiling out.
“It’s for the better… I’m okay” She added, Mrs Bieber pull her into her arms.
“You’ll be fine dear… you’ll be” She soothes, patting her back gently.
*. *. *.
Just as Sunniva came out of Stefan’s room, she hasn’t taken much steps when she bumps into Franco who also came out of his own room.
His brows furrows on seeing her.
“Why are you out already?” He asked.
“I…I can’t do this anymore, I’m going home” She said trying to take a step but Franco grabbed her arms, pulling her into his room.
“Arrgh!” She winced as her back got slammed against the door after it was closed.
“What hookum are you saying, is this a joke?” Franco gruffs slowly at her. She shook her head, tears thr_@tening to fall from her eyes.
“I can’t bring myself to lie to him any longer. I feel so guilty. He doesn’t deserve to be deceived like this I can’t do it!” She burst out.
“You don’t dare decide if he deserves it or not. You just need to do as I say, why is that so f-__-king hard for you! Don’t you want him also!”
“That’s it. I never said I wanted him. He’s just a friend of mine I just made in ages but why are you making me do something that will make him turn away from me? Who do you think you are to thr_@ten me and make me do what I don’t want! Listen I’m done dancing to your tune, I don’t even know why I listened to you in the first place! I won’t do what you want and that’s it!! Now get the f-__-k out of my life, you’re nothing but just a selfish bastard! Get lost!!” She pushes him away by the chest and ran out of the room.
“Hey you_SHIT!!” He banged his fist on the door in fury.
“How dare that ?îtçh…” He grits, his eyes turning.
Sunniva ran down the stairs and met Fina and Mrs Bieber seated in the living room.
“Oh dear, why are you_”
“I’m sorry, goodbye!” She interrupted Mrs Bieber and ran out of the house before she could say any other thing.
“What’s with her…” Mrs Bieber mutters. Fina stood up.
“I should probably get going now, it’s already late and I need to start packing” Fina said besides her.
“Oh, dear… I’ll miss you” Mrs Bieber cooled, just then Franco also came down.
“What’s going on, why would you miss her?” He asked, his brows a little crooked.
“I’ll just say goodbye to Stefan, excuse me…” Fina said rather ignoring Franco, she went upstairs. Franco looks at Mrs Bieber in question.
“She’s leaving the country tomorrow.. Franco” Mrs Bieber told him.
STEFAN’S ROOM.
After a slight knock, Fina opens the door and went in. Stefan rolled his eyes on seeing her.
“What now?” He asked flatly.
“Stefan…?” Fina calls taking a step closer to him.
“Just…stay there and say wh@??ver $h|t you have to say…” He stops her. She sighs out.
“I’m sorry…” She mutters.
“Everything that happened…is due to my foolishness. You suffered a lot because of me, all you did was to love me but I…” She paused and sniffs.
“I only hurt you in return…” She completed.
“Cut the horse $h|t, are you being delusional?”
“I know you probably don’t remember anything but I just have to say this. Every moment with you…every memories with you, will forever be engraved in my heart.” She breathes in.
“I’m leaving…” She said sadly, her eyes glistering with tears already.
“…and I’ll miss you…” She added, her eyes piercing into his nonchalant ones.
He said nothing, but just stares at her, his face holding no emotions.
Then she steps closer, steps on her toes and wrap her arms around his shoulders.
He just remained standing, not uttering a word, not pushing her away or making any move rather.
“I love you…” Her broken voice came almost in a whisper, her tears falls on his neck, and her lips brushes his skin.
“I love you… Stefan…” She added closing her eyes as the rivulet of tears, stream down her eyes.
For some moments, they stayed like that, not uttering a single word to each other, Stefan could feel his heart tightening as the second passes, his head was swelling up, so as his throat dried down. When he couldn’t take it anymore, he pushes her off him.
“Leave already…” He took his eyes away from her, fisting his palms. Fina nods, she sniffs and wipe away her tears.
“Goodbye…” Was all she said before turning to the door, opening it, she went out of his room, and out of his life as well.
Stefan only stood rooted on his spot, his eyes reddened, probably from the tears he has been holding in. He knows he should be running after her. He knows he should probably held her back and not let her go.
But he couldn’t do that. He couldn’t because that’s not what she wanted.
He knows it’s just best… to let her go, as she wants.
Yeah you’re right.
He remembered her.
He remembered everything that happened between them in the past month.
He indeed forgot about her when he woke up but after passing out in the hospital, the memories came back to him when he woke again.
He only pretended not to know her all through, so he can be able to let her go without clinging when she finally wants too.
So, he’ll be able to give her up easily perhaps, without hurting her or himself the more.
But it wasn’t easy.
It was d@mn hard for him.
It was so f-__-king hard for him, seeing her everytime, looking into her sad eyes everytime and pretending he’s okay when he’s not.
“I love you… Stefan” Her words replayed in his head.
“Fina…Fina…” He mutters running out of the room.
“I’ll drop her off Mom” Franco says, to Mrs Bieber.
“Goodbye, Mrs Bieber” Posefina gave her one more hug before walking out with Franco.
Stefan came downstairs the moment she did.
“She left… just now” Mrs Bieber says and he nods slowly, the tears he has been keeping in freely falling from his eyes now.
He slumps down on the last staircase, sitting on it, his head resting against the railings as gush of tears rushes down his cheeks.
He began crying hard, his sobbing voice coming out in muffles.
“Oh Stefan…” Mrs Bieber sat besides him, pulling him into her arms, she began stroking his back while he just sob badly, grittingly his teeth painfully.
*. *. *.
“What time is the flight tomorrow, I’ll drop you at the airport” Franco says as he drives along the highway. Fina whom he was talking to only stares outside the window, biting her lower lip hard to hold in the tears gathering in her eyes.
“You made the right decision Fina, he’s not the one for you. He’s not. Look, he even forgot all about you, that’s how feeble his so called feelings is towards you, you shouldn’t think hard or dwell on it too much it was all just an attraction you have for a fleeting moment, it’s good you ended it now… it’s bound to end sooner or later anyway…” Franco continue saying, agitating her.
“…he does not love you… you’re just a thing of the moment to him, probably to catch fun. It’s harsh but it’s the bitter truth Fina, you can’t last long with him, he_”
“Stop the car” Fina impeded his speech, he looks at her.
“Why?”
“Just… just stop the car Franco I wanna get out”
“We’re on the highway Fina yo_”
“JUST STOP THE f-__-kING CAR FRANCO!! STOP NOW OR I’MMA GET OUT THIS INSTANT!!!” She proceeded to opening the door getting his eyes widened.
“OKAY OKAY! I WILL!! DON’T OPEN THE DOOR I’LL PULL OVER!!” He shouted back stopping her. She halted in her mo and Franco immediately pulled over at a side, without wasting any seconds, she opens the door and rushes out.
“FINA!! FINA WAIT!!” He quickly unfasten his seatbelt also, going after her.
Fina rushes over to the railings of the bridge holding tightly unto it, she burst out crying uncontrollably.
She knew it’ll hurts.
She knew very well, but she just doesn’t think it’ll hurt this much.
It hurts even more than when she had one sided love for Franco.
It hurts more than when she had to see Franco with other women.
It hurts more than when Franco got back with Reena, his ex then.
She feels like her heart is tearing apart.
It hurts her more than she could ever thought.
It f-__-king hurts so much.
She wept out bitterly and unstoppably while Franco just stood a few metres away from her, watching her bawling her eyes out.
“Why are you crying so much for him like this… Posefina” A streak of tears, slid down his cheeks also.
~FEW MONTHS LATER ~
The past months has been such a rough dry one for Stefan. Ever since Posefina left, he has not hear not even a word from her.
She changed her number and no one knew where exactly she disappeared to.
Not even Franco.
After she had cried a river the other night, Franco dropped her at home.
She had told him her flight the next day was at nine in the morning and Franco had went there early as seven but on getting to her house, he was met with nothing but emptiness.
She had left with no one knowing exactly where she went.
Franco returned home devasted, sad and agitated, pouring out his anger and frustrations out on Stefan.
The two had a tough fisticuffs with Franco blaming stefan for everything that transpired, including Fina leaving.
Mrs Bieber separated them before they could injured each other beyond control and even tried to talk and settle their differences.
But it was fruitless, the two seems never to agree.
Franco blames Stefan, so does Stefan blames Franco.
Eventually they decided to bury the hatchet.
No one talked about her anymore and it was as if she never existed in the first place.
Stefan had it rough moving on, he became worse than before. He talked less and interact less.
Totally aloof and secluded.
They were even surprised to find out he didn’t lost his memories of hers. That he remembers her so well but only pretended not to.
It didn’t take up to a month that his mother took him along back to Germany, and he started college.
He met new people, new set of friends and start to loosen up.
Within some periods of time, he changed.
He talked more, mingles more and laugh more.
He becomes a total newly Stefan, everyone loves.
Even his mother was happy, though he wasn’t that close to her as he’s supposed to, their relationship wasn’t that bad.
He visits her once in a while.
Franco on the other hand remained in the country, focusing on his work.
He had no girlfriends, neither can you see any woman close to him.
He’s just…alone.
Working.
~FRANCE~
~DELIGHT FLOWER SHOP~
“It symbolizes devotion and an everlasting love” A beautiful woman with protruding stomach smiles at the man who had came for some flowers actually.
“She would love this right?” The man took in the scent of the Honeysuckle flowers.
“Absolutely. Should I pack it?” The pregnant woman asked.
“Please do” The man say and she smiles going to a particular corner of the shop filled with different beautiful flowers.
After a while, she came back holding a bouquet of honeysuckle flowers.
“Here it is” She extend it to him and he took it giving her his card.
She swipe it with her machine after punching some buttons then return it to him.
“Thank you and please do come again” She smiles as he collect the card from her.
“An adorable She or a Charming He?” The man asked rather.
“Adorable She” She replied with a chuckle.
“Very well. She’ll be a cute one … just like her mother” He refered to her pregnancy while she chuckles.
“Gracias” She smiles back and he also gave her a charming smile, before walking out of the shop.
“Hey little one…will you really be a cute one just like your mother?” She rubs her protrude belly.
“Can’t wait to meet you too…” She mumbles beaming with smiles.
“And me too…” She hears a familiar voice and looks up only to see Franco coming in with a smile.
“Hey…” She greeted.
“Hey darling” He kissed both her cheeks on getting to her.
“And my little pea” He places his ear on her belly, she chuckles.
“Why are you here this early?” Fina questioned as he withdraw his head.
“Cause I know you’d have forgotten about the appointment with the doctor today” He replied going further into the shop.
“Oh my” She slaps her forehead.
“What can I do without you Franco?” She coos.
“Not a thing I doubt…come on” He carries her bag which was on a chair hanging it on his neck.
He walks to her then guide her out of the shop gently, holding her waist.
“Easy there…we don’t wanna hurt our little one…” Franco teases while she only giggles.
“Come on…” He guide her to the car he parked just in front of the flower shop, opens the door and guide her in gently.
“Seatbelt” He says and she fasten it.
“Wait up. I’ll just close up the shop” He smiles at her and she nods. Franco rushes back to the flower shop, did some necessary things then lock it up.
“Chop! Chop! Let’s move…” He said getting into the car, he ignites the engine and drive off carefully.
~AT THE HOSPITAL~
“Since her mother loves flowers a lot then Fiorella would certainly be the perfect name for her. Fiorella Bieber” Franco says as they both walk out of the obstetrics section.
“Ohh really now?? That was a joke right?” Fina says back.
“It isn’t. I’m for real” He shrugs.
“No, you’re probably pulling my legs now Franco”
“How am i when you’re walking perfectly fine with those legs” He replied jocularly getting her to giggle out.
“You’re a joker now??” She laughs out heartily but her smile had to die down automatically when her eyes came in contact with a pair of flinty eyes peering back at her.
The eyes went down to her arms linking with that of Franco’s beside her and then to her big protruding belly.
Gasps echoes out and shock settled on each faces.
WHAT THE ACTUAL f-__-k!
