Couple Up
Laura went to the kitchen to get a glass of water before going back to the sitting room to meet Laura. “Are you still here, cursing that young man?”
“It is his fault, Laura; if not, my lonely ass won’t be stuck here,” Carolina replied.
“Just calm down. I will tell you about my date if that will make you happy,” Laura said, patting Carolina on the back.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to,” Carolina said innocently.
“You know I want to, but I was just teasing you at first,” Laura said.
Laura was very tired; she was finding it so difficult to talk, but she just had to talk to Caroline at the moment because she was beginning to feel bad about her life.
Carolina’s boyfriend cheated on her on their third-year anniversary after they already planned to get married to each other the following month.
A week before the wedding, Carolina decided to say hello to her fiance on her way back from the mall to get one or two things she needed for the wedding.
On getting to his apartment, his car was parked at the garage, so Carolina was sure her fiance was around since she didn’t inform him that she was coming over.
Carolina got to the door, and the door was slightly opened. She began to wonder why the door was open, which was unlike her boyfriend, who leaves the door open whenever he is around.
She shrugged away all thoughts and went inside, only to see the house scattered with all sorts of food on the floor.
After calling out her fiance several times, he didn’t respond, so she went straight to the bedroom, only to find him and his secretary on bed together.
Carolina was so shocked that she fainted. She was admitted to the hospital for days, and the wedding was called off.
Laura was so happy that her friend was free from the shackles of the beast who called himself her fiance. Laura had always warned her to break up with him before she caught him cheating on her because he was always hurting her and beating her up every now and then.
After the wedding was called off, he never came back to apologize to Carolina because he was never interested in her in the first place, but he only took her and agreed to get married to her because of her money and the firm she was going to inherit from her parents.
Remembering everything that Carolina went through at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, she felt more burdened to make Carolina happy.
Laura sat down with Carolina, eager to share every detail of her date with Carl. “So, we went to the lake, and it was beautiful! The sun was setting, and the water was sparkling. We had a lovely picnic, and Carl was so charming and attentive.”
Carolina listened intently, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “That sounds amazing! What did you talk about?”
Laura smiled, remembering the conversation. “We talked about everything-our hopes, dreams, fears-it was like we’d known each other for years. And he’s so funny, Carolina! He made me laugh so much.”
Carolina grinned. “I’m so glad to hear that! And what about the love letter? You mentioned he wrote you a love letter?”
Laura blushed, feeling a flutter in her chest. “Yes, he did. And it was the most romantic thing I’ve ever read. He read it to me under the stars, and I felt like I was melting.”
Carolina sighed, looking dreamy. “That’s so sweet! I’m so happy for you, Laura. You deserve all the love in the world.”
Laura smiled, feeling grateful for her friend’s support. “Thanks, Carolina. I’m really happy with Carl. And I think this might be the start of something special.”
Carolina nodded, looking thoughtful. “I think you might be right, Laura. Just remember to take things slow and get to know him better. And don’t hesitate to come to me if you need any advice or just need to talk.”
Laura nodded, feeling grateful for her friend’s wisdom. “I will, Carolina. Thanks for always being there for me.”
As they chatted, Laura couldn’t help but feel excited about her future with Carl. She knew there was still much to learn about him, but she was willing to take the chance and see where their relationship would go.
“I’m feeling so sleepy; I think I want to go and sleep,” Laura said.
“Yeah, you should,” Carolina replied. “I still want to see my favorite TV show before going to bed.”.
“That’s nice,” Laura said as she stood up and made her way to the bedroom.
On her way to her bedroom, her phone rang, and it was Carl calling.
“Why are you still awake?” Carl asked over the phone. .
“I was on my way to my room when you called,” Laura replied.
‘So what have you been doing?” Carl asked.
“Just gisting with Carolina.” Laura. Replied.
“Nice. So I just called to inform you that I just got home like you asked me to do,” Carl said.
“Good boy. Thank goodness you obeyed me today,” Laura laughed.
“I usually obey you, ma’am.” Carl disagreed with what Carl said.
“You think, but you don’t,” Laura said.
“Ok,, I’m sorry, ma’am. I will always obey you from now on,” Carl said jokingly.
“Have you eaten?” Laura asked Carl.
“Nah,, I’m still filled up. Have you forgotten the quantity of food I ate today?” Carl asked.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nah,, I haven’t. I was just asking to make sure you were not going to eat anything else when you get home,” Laura replied.
“Oh, I see, so you are stalking me now,” Carl said.
“Nah,, I’m not,” Laura lied.
“Also, stalk me all you want, babe,” Carl said.
“Sure, I will as much as I want,” Laura smiled.
“I really enjoyed spending time with you today, and I wish I could always spend that much time with you every time,” Carl said.
