I Love My Enemy – Episode 15

Episode 15

 

Gabriel’s POV:

 

It’s good to know Ella still has a soft spot for me.

 

To say the truth I was beginning to lose control of myself. It’s a good thing Andrew barged in even though I didn’t like it.

 

When I dressed up, I went out to meet with Andrew. I was welcomed with a glare.

 

“Hi” I said.

 

“Hey buddy” he replied with no emotion shaking my hand.

 

I can’t believe we’re really doing this, my friend has turned so bitter.

 

“How did you find Ella?” He asked.

 

“Her mom gave me her address” I shrugged.

 

“Tell me something Gabriel. What do you plan to do?” He asked harshly. “Okay chill dude. You sound like you’re Ella’s father. I love Ella and that’s what I’m trying to prove”

 

He scoffed “You? Love? When have you ever fallen in love Gabriel? You think I don’t know you’re trying to f**k her again?” He half yelled.

 

“Listen to me Andrew, you’re my friend and you’re supposed to help me not insult me… What makes you think I don’t love her? After all she has my child” I said.

 

“I don’t believe you! You’re just looking for a way to hurt her and I’m not gonna let that happen!” He yelled.

 

“Why are you so defensive of what’s not yours?”

 

“She may not be now, but she will be later on because I love her and I’ll protect her from heartless brutes like you”

 

I was about saying something when Ella came and asked me to excuse them. I went in but watched from the window, he hugged her. I feel like breaking his bones to pieces.

 

I watched him leave, I still can’t stop thinking about what he said.

 

It’s hard to see Andrew fall for a girl and now we’re in love with the same girl.

 

No way. Ella’s mine and there’s nothing he can do about it besides she loves me.

 

I see it in her eyes, I really made a mistake hurting her like that. If only I’d met her properly earlier.

 

“Breakfast is ready” Mrs Marcus said setting the table.

 

“Ummm… I have to go home now. My mom will be worried about me… I switched my phone off” I said.

 

Ella came down dressed up with her hair falling on her shoulders with William on her shoulder.

 

“C’mon. Just have breakfast before you leave and you too Daniela. Where’s Andrew?”

 

“He left mom” Ella replied.

 

“Thanks Mrs Marcus” Daniela said.

 

Mrs Marcus dragged me to the dining. The poor woman is so happy because her daughter’s back.

 

I glanced at Ella, she placed the baby in a crib.

 

Our eyes met, she looked away. She was silent throughout but Mrs Marcus made our breakfast great.

 

I drove home after breakfast, right my parents are around.

 

I walked inside the house, my mom is pacing around in the living room while my dad is seated.

 

She stopped on seeing me, “Hi mom. Hi dad” I said leaving.

 

“Come back here Gabriel” that’s my father’s voice.

 

I went back “Where have you been since yesterday?”

 

“I went to see a friend dad… Aren’t I allowed to do that?” I replied harshly. “Gabriel! How dare you talk to your father like that?! Apologize immediately” Mom yelled.

 

“No” I said shocking them.

 

“What?”

 

 

“No mom. Where has dad been since two months ago. Did you ask him that? I don’t even know what my dad looks like, you think I want that for my son?” I yelled.

 

Dad’s always out on business trips and stuff, part of the reason I’m a spoilt brat. “How can you say that Gabriel? All we’re doing is for you. Your dad’s a busy man” mom said calmly.

 

“I have responsibilities now… I won’t run from them. Excuse me” I said and walked out on them.

 

Does dad know how painful it is to hardly see my father around?

 

To hardly receive a call or talk to him?

 

Does he even care about me?

 

My child will not grow up like me. He won’t be like me that’s for sure.

 

Andrew’s POV:

 

Why did this have to happen to me? I finally decided to like a girl and this is what I get.

 

I felt so angry and jealous when we got to Ella’s room and saw her making out with Gabriel.

 

That friend of mine is a liar, he can’t leave his habit of being a playboy victimizing Ella again.

 

I drove to Romeo’s house, he may be a playboy but he just flirts.

 

He never hurts girls. I drove in their parking lot and went inside the house.

 

I met him watching TV and sitting on the couch.

 

“Hey bro” he said as he noticed my presence.

 

“You don’t look happy… What happened? Did anyone steal your breakfast?” He asked.

 

I sat down “It’s nothing… I’m just tired”

 

“Have you seen Gabe? Been calling the dude since yesterday but his number is not going through”

 

“I saw him at Ella’s house this morning”

 

“Now I get it. Do you in any way happen to like that girl beyond likeness?” “I’m falling in love with her Romeo” I replied.

 

He hit my head “How could you let that happen? Get rid of those thoughts immediately” he yelled.

 

“Why? So Gabriel can do it again?” I yelled back.

 

He pat my shoulder “Listen man… I’m not siding anyone but I won’t like to see my

 

two best friends fight so stop now”

 

I shake my head “I won’t. I can’t”

 

I walked out of the house and sat outside.

 

I can’t let go of Ella. Not especially to Gabriel.

 

Ella’s POV:

 

Daniela and I went to the movies with William.

 

I didn’t want to go but she managed to drag me down here.

 

Well we’re currently watching a strange romantic movie.

 

I saw a girl I think from school sit down two lines before us.

 

“Who’s that girl Daniela?” I asked in a whisper.

 

“Oh… She… She’s ummm… Louisa from school” she stuttered. “Why are you saying it like that? What’s wrong?” I asked. “Nothing”

 

I looked at the girl, I feel like Daniela’s hiding something.

 

After a while I felt like using the restroom, the girl already left.

 

I gave William to Daniela and rushed there, I was hearing strange sounds.

 

I finished and washed my hands, the sound got louder and I realized two idiots are having s*x here.

 

Before I got out I saw the girl coming out, the next person I saw shocked me.

 

“Gabriel”

 

TBC…
