Changing Course
Once Wishes admitted she loved me, I had to cut the date short to collect myself. There was no chance of me keeping my composure after a bomb like that. I knew she had a love for me, that's why I concocted this whole plan. What I didn't know is she knew she loved me. Wishes loves me, she's loved me this whole time and she was well aware of it. It makes me both happy and angry. Why did she have to pretend all this time? Why did she have to tell Grant instead of me? Does it even matter anymore?
I hold my throbbing head. Now what do I do?
I could confront her and tell her who I really am, but that would mean I loose this really amazing girl who's been helping me more than Wishes ever has. This really amazing girl who belongs to Grant. I'm not sure I care though, hasn't he taken Wishes from me?
I could decide I don't care and continue to explore things with Grant's girl, try to make her mine. The only problem with that is Wishes and Grant might end up falling in love in the meantime and it would also mean I'd be making Grant my enemy. As it turns out, he's more of a threat than I originally thought.
Or I could choose me. I could forget about these women and Grant and the entire Clone Mansion and just leave. I could stage my death and start fresh. I could live for me instead of a million other people.
The last choice feels the most authentic to me. My head to is too messed up to choose someone to spend the rest of my life with. I don't date for fun, I date to marry. I've grown tired of games. My mind is made up. I'll play along until the time is right, then I'll get as far away from here as possible.
My phone ringing steals my thoughts from me. I don't even bother checking the ID, I just answer. "Hello?"
The voice that comes through is none other than Grant and I's little crush. "I've made my choice."
I choke. "You did?" I'd completely forgotten that she was deciding whether or not she wanted to forgive Grant for sleeping with her mother.
"Yeah." She exhales. "Can you come over?"
I do my best to remember where she lives. Thankfully, I've followed Grant there enough times to sort of know. "I'm on my way."
She hangs up, leaving me feeling sort of anxious. I know it wasn't actually me that this involved, but for some reason I am invested in her decision.
I hurry out of the house and make my way to hear the news. I had a feeling this may not end well. I mean, how do you forgive someone who's slept with your mother? I don't think I could.
I knock on the door once before an older man opens it. "Can I help you?"
This isn't good. I internally freak out. Who was this guy? Was this even her house? How do I communicate that I'm here to see her if I don't even know her name?
I'm saved by a sweet voice. "It's okay Ryan, I invited him here."
She pushes past Ryan and grabs my arm. "I'm sorry G."
I follow her down an endless hallway into a fancy bedroom. "Who was that guy?"
She adjusts herself on the bed. "That's Ryan, he's the new butler. He's still learning. You know how my father is." She rolls her eyes. "I haven't had the chance to tell him about you yet."
A butler? Grant's dating a rich girl? This is a lot to take in. "No worries."
She claps her hands together. "You're probably like, Lylyhn what's going on? I'll get to why you're here, but I have something I want to tell you before we get into all that."
Lylyhn? Her name is Lylyhn. I'm guessing anyways. I feel my lips curling up in a smile.
She's so calm. How is she so calm right now? I play off her energy the way Grant does. "Alright, let's hear it."
"So you know that clone guy that likes Onya?"
"Kind of hard to forget him." I smirk.
She nods in a agreement. "Yeah, well Onya was like nearly in tears when I delivered his message. So, I'm planning on sneaking her into the Clone Mansion to see him."
I can't help but laugh at her eagerness. "Isn't that dangerous?"
"Yeah, it'll be fine."
I'm impressed with her bravery. "I'm going to have to help then." In that moment I consider using my last wish to let him free, make him human.
"Okay." She smiles. "So, now to the reason you came here. My decision."
My palms feel sweaty. I'm wondering if I messed up their relationship beyond repair. "I'd love to hear it."
"I have one question before I tell you."
"What's that?"
Lylyhn's eyes meet mine. "Do you love me?"
My body goes numb. What do I say? Does he love her? Do I love her? I go with my gut. "Of course I do."
She looks shocked. "Well, I didn't know because you've never said it."
"I should have, I'm sorry."
She licks her lips. "Okay, then here's my answer."
She slowly strips out of her clothes, eyes on me. I can't make myself stop her. I just sit there, watching her get into her lingerie.
She makes her way towards me, her hips swaying ever so slightly. Before I know it, her blue-yellow eyes are inches from mine. I notice they perfectly match her lingerie. It is quite a site. Desire rises up inside me.
She whispers in my ear. "I forgive you."
Goosebumps cover my arms. "You do?"
"Yeah." Her lips nibble a little on my ear. "And I love you."
My body involuntarily flattens onto the bed. Nobody has ever said they love before and now two girls told me the love me on the same night. It's good to be Grant, I guess. Ugh, this is so messy. My mouth goes on autopilot. "I love you too."
She presses into me. "Prove it."
