Bound To Fail by Leriebloom(f): 9:44pm On Nov 02, 2015
Prolog
Not again, not when she thought she had found the one. Okay, this might be a bit confusing for people to understand but Karina had always been lonely, anyone who came into her life wasn't bound to last but still Karina had not given up on love she had still fought for what she believed in, which was true love. Most people would think that Karina would have given up on love by now but she hadn't and today she had failed yet again.

The guy she had only started dating for two weeks now had proven himself the greatest cheat on planet earth. She thought they had something. She had even started thinking about a future with him, about having kids with him, but Nelson had shown her yet again why she shouldn't fall in love, why she should just stop thinking about the existence of true love,but she still had hope. She wasn't getting any younger, her family were beginning to ask questions which she could not provide answers to. Sometimes she suspected that her problem might be spiritual. Even ugly girls had true love, then why not her, she wasn't ugly, in fact she was very presentable but what the heck was wrong in her, a question which she still couldn't provide an answer to.


This is my first time writing here, just testing the waters plus forgive any typographical errors u might see.

Episode 1

" please do not lie to me, for crying out loud I am not a fool. You slept with her. I can not believe you did that after promising me heaven and earth, I was such a fool to believe you Nelson, I was such a fool to fall in love with you " Karina said crying and hitting Nelson on his chest. She was so hurt, she felt so betrayed. She had fallen in love with him already. The fool had made her fall in love. She hated this feeling, she hated the fact that every guy she dated made her fall in love and afterwards break her. She was too trusting, Nick had always told her not to put all her heart into a relationship but she always ended up waving him off. She believed that love was still out there. She believed that she would still find love some day.
Nick would be disappointed in her. Okay not like he would tell her but his expression always showed it. Nick was her best friend, they had met when they were in the university in her second year, ever since then they had hit it of and had became best friends. Her friends always teased her about how she loved Nick, but she ended up telling them that she only saw Nick as a brother. A brother who she cried to every time she was heart broken. A brother who she would run to yet again because of Nelson.
Nelson tried holding her, but she slapped his hands away from her. She didn't need him touching her, she didn't want him to ever touch her again. " I am sorry Karina, I really love you. I am so sorry you found out, I didn't want you to" Nelson said calmly and Karina's mouth dropped wide opened in shock. No he didn't just say that. She tried to convince herself. " You didn't want me to find out, how ridiculous. So this isn't the first time you are doing this, you have been cheating on me all along, I just haven't found out. Nelson leave my house now" Karina shouted crying. Her heart ache had just gotten severe, she was trying so hard to breathe.
"Kari--" Nelson tried to speak but Karina wouldn't let him speak. " Nelson I said get out of my house, please get out don't make me do something I would regret because I am not ready to go to jail, so if you love yourself you would get the heck out of my sight" Karina said her eyes closed. She had shut him out of her heart. This was the end, there was no going back, no second thinking. This was it and Nelson saw it. He knew she had made up her mind and she wasn't ever getting back with him. With heads bowed Nelson left and Karina sat on the floor crying. She picked her phone and dialed the only person's number that could calm her down right now " hello Nick, I need you now, I just broke up with Nelson"

Episode 2
Karina sniffed and used the tissue to wipe away her tears. "Nick,i thought Nelson was different,he acted so different,the stupid fish made me fall in love with him, only for him to smash my heart into a thousand pieces. Nick please tell me, where do i start picking my heart from?" she asked Nick with a serious look on her face.
Nick stared at her and laughed "the same place you always pick your heart from everytime it gets broken"
Karina hit him on the head playfully "Nick cant you see that an heartbroken girl is dead serious?"
Nick smiled sadly and pulled her closer to him "I am tired of this guys treating you like this, i am tired of seeing you heartbroken, you trust this guys too much which is why you always end up this way"
karina frowned slightly "Nick please dont sit down here and start psycho analyzing me. You actually think i do all this on purpose,that i trust this guys consiouslly?, i dont know how it happens, but it always happen, i always end up giving them my all,i always end up being the one loosing"
Nick tried to control his anger "then opt out of this game of truelove for a little while, you take things too fast,why dont you go easy on this search for true love?"
Nick could see he had gotten her angry by the spark in her eyes "Nick i beg of you, dont make me more mad than i already am, i called you here to console me, not preach to me. Would you keep on telling me this trash or would you console me?" Karina asked angrily.
Nick sighed and pulled her back close,he knew she was crying by the little moans that were coming out of her lips.
"Okay Karina,i give up trying to speak some sense into that thick skull of yours,for now though,but please give it a thought" Nick said patting her back which made her even cry harder. It was time she heard the truth, he couldnt keep wiping her eyes and nose everytime she got dumped,but one thing he wished he could do was punch and beat the heck out of every guy that broke her heart.

Episode 3
karina glared at the couple infront of her. If looks could kill,this two people would be six feets underneath the ground. Karina picked at her food and tried looking at any other place but their faces. She was so sure that Tari was rejoicing about her unhappiness. Karina wished that Nick didnt have to tell Tari everything that happened in her life. Tari loved mocking her and Nick on the other hand saw Tari has an innocent which she was far from. Karina was so deep in her thoughts that she didnt notice Nick speaking to her.
"Karina" Nick called a second time before Karina jerked back as if she had been in a trance. Nick wished he knew what was going on in her head, had always wished he could read her mind.
"Did i miss anything"Karina asked scowling at Tari who was wearing a false smile.
"Karina there is no need to have your panties in such a twist. Nick has been trying to get your attention for like the past five minutes" Tari furthered Karina's embarassment by emphasizing the "five minutes"
Karina ignored Tari and stared at Nick apologizing "I am really sorry Nick,i spoilt your lunch and i am sorry i need to go" Karina dropped her fork and carried her bag and left without Nick's reply. She was bound to be alone, even her bestfriend had a better love life than her's and it was too painful to watch.

Episode 4
Karina tried so hard to concentrate on her laptop. She couldnt even think straight. Her mind wasnt settled,she felt guilty. Her phone ranged for the fifth time that day, she had been ignoring Nick for a week now.
Bella gave Karina a knowing look "I still cant phantom why you refuse to pick Nick's calls. For crying out Karina,this guy hasnt even done anything wrong and yet you put him on high jump. He has been begging me to talk to you,to ask why you refuse to pick his calls"
Karina sighed and pushed her laptop aside "Bells the fact is i am jealous of what Nick has with Tari,does that make me a bad person?"
Bella gave Karina a look filled with pity "I still dont understand why the both of you are not together.Nick likes you,he has feelings for you,i can tell by the vibes that oozes out whenever he is around you.He treats you differently,he is always there when you need him,he even gives you more time than he gives me,so what is going on?"
Karina scowled at Bella. Was this girl high?,she wondered "Bells did you smoke weed before coming to see me?" she voiced her thoughts.
Bella frowned, she was used to Karina's bad attitude everytime she and Nick's name was mentioned in a sentence"And what is that supposed to mean?,the fact i came here to talk to you about the poor boy doesnt make me jobless, i think i am done here" Karina watched wide eyed as her second best friend walked out on her. Karina felt even more bad. She knew that Bella had always been tolerative with her,but today had been a different story. She guessed she had pushed her to her limit. She felt lonely. She had pushed the two most important friends out of her life. She stared at her phone waiting for Nick's sixth call,but he never called back.
Re: Bound To Fail by Leriebloom(f): 11:50pm On Dec 25, 2015
Episode 5
Karina stared so hard at her phone that she was sure a hole would appear on the phone screen. "i should call him" she said to herself,yet she made no attempt to dial his number.
"This is insane,this is my bestfriend not some other dude"
She finally made up her mind,throwing away her pride,she called him.
Karina_Hello Nick,how are u?
Nick_ Dont do that.
He sounded as if he was trying to control his pain, and Karina felt even more guilty.
Karina_Dont do what?
Nick_Stop trying to act as if things are normal for christ sake. (He said harshly)
Karina_I am sorry i haven't been picking your calls, i am really sorry i walked out on you. It was rude of me,i shouldn't have,it was so rude of me and i apologize.
She pleaded hoping he dropped it.
Nick_I want to see you Karina. Can i see you please?
Karina_ You are my best friend,why not?
Nick_It didnt seem so wheb you walked out on me and refused to pick my calls Karina.
Karina_Nick,i have said i am sorry.
Nick_ I know, you av said that. Meet me at The Royals by 4pm today.
With that the line went off.
Re: Bound To Fail by Leriebloom(f): 1:02am On Dec 26, 2015
Episode 6
Karina stared at her wrist watch,time wasn't on her side. It was already 3.o clock. She dropped her phone on her bed ,rushed to her wardrobe and pulled out a black dress. She took her time dressing up. She really had no idea why, but she could feel the tingles of butterflies in her belly.
This was Nick, her best friend, she reminded herself,yet the tingles still wouldn't go.
Karina left her house in a rush, she didnt want to miss Nick. She didnt want him to wait. She drove on high speed, which she had never done before. This was so unlike her. She was doing things she didn't usually do, feeling things she didn't usually feel. This was weird. Extremly weird. She parked her car and came down dialing Nick's line.
"Hello Nick,i am here already,where are you?" she asked walking inside The Royals. She sighted him immedietly she entered, her breath hitched. She had never noticed him like this before. He had this aura about him that drew people to him, mostly ladies. Tari was indeed a lucky bitch, who didnt see how lucky she was. Karina drew herself out of her day dream.
Nick stood up and drew a sit out for her to sit. "Karina, you look good". Nick couldn't help but be mesmerised in her eyes, those eyes he had always admired. Karina smiled and sat down "Thank you Nick"
Nick took his sit "Karina you have been my friend for how many years now?" Nick asked, it was obvious he was heading somewhere.
Karina cleared her throat and answered him "Six years now"
Nick kept a straight face, a look that Karina had never liked. "Good. You are aware i know almost every detail about you, how you rub your ears when you are nervous like you are doing now, how your eyes twitch whenever you are sad, how you are always angry on your period days, how you always give people who get on your bad side a rude and snarky reply, how you love cuddling............" Nick stopped to clear his throat and continued "then why do you hide things from me, why wouldn't you tell me what is bothering you, i want to know what made you leave, what made you ignore my calls"
Karina rubbed the tip of ear lightly, she didn't have an answer to give him. She couldn't tell him that she hated his girlfriend's guts,that she hated the fact he was with her,this was insane. She was about to give him a reply when the waiter came to rescue her.
"Good day sir, how may i serve you?" the female waiter asked blatantly checking Nick out.
"I would have a bottle of water please, and sex on the beach for the lady" he said his eyes fixed on Karina.
"Okay sir,i would have the water and the cocktail drink here in a jiffy" with that the waiter left trying so hard to roll her hips. Karina rolled her eyes. Desperate fool.
"Did you see how hard she was trying to get your attention"Karina asked
"Dont change the topic Karina,what made you leave?" Nick asked keeping his straight face.
"Nick i was in a foul mood,i am sorry,i have said that a thousand times,except you want me tk start singing Justin Bieber's 'sorry" Karina asked, proud that her voice wasnt shaking,she was so nervous.
"Why were you in a foul mood?" Nick asked and Karina on the other hand was yet saved again by the waiter who served Nick first winking at him. Karina's blood was almost boiling. The waiter turned to her with a sneer on her face, a sneer that Karina gadly returned. The waiter served her the cocktail and walked away rolling her hips again. Karina rolled her eyes.
Nick was staring at Karina "please give me an answer"Nick pleaded. Karina staref into his eyes and said the truth "It was because i was jealous, jealous of you and Tari"








Hello dearies, Compliments of the season.

Episode 7
Nick's lips were slightly ajar, he was suprised, suprised that Karina felt the same way he felt years back when they where in the university. He couldn't believe it. He didn't know what he could do. Things were complicated, he was with Tari now,he couldn't just break it off with her because his best friend just told him he was jealous. He had no idea on how to handle the whole issue.
"She might only be jealous because she just got out of a bad relationship and not because she loves me" Nick said to himself.
Karina couldn't stare at Nick straight in the eyes after admitting to him that she was jealous of his relationship.
This was a mess. She had just messed it all up. His friendahip. The friendship she valued the most. He is going to hate me, Karina thought to herself. Why did she even open her stupid mouth to tell him the truth She hated Tari but she didn't want to be the one destroying their relationship.
Karina had to speak. She had to say something fast and quick but Nick beat her to it.
"Karina i know you just got out of a messy relationship and i understand why you would feel that way"
"I think this was a bad idea"Karina said holding back her tears.
"You think what was a bad idea, coming here?" Nick asked confusion written all over his face.
"No, telling you i was jealous. Nick you are my bestfriend and i wouldn't want to loose our friendship because i value it. So i am asking you to give me a little space, sometime ti cleae my head" Karina's confidence to speak without crying at this point was wavering.
Nick stared at Karina and he could see the pain she was trying so hard to hide. He would give her the time she needed. To keep their friendship he would sacrifice not hearing her voice, not seeing the beautiful smile of her's, not hearing the music of her laughter for a short period of time. He could notice her eyes twitching and with the weight of the choking pain in his heart he gave her his reply and he watched her go.

Episode 8
The space was choking Karina. It had already been two weeks since she left Nick at the Royals. She missed him, alot. She hated this feeling. This feeling of lonliness. She had no friend now, no one to talk to. She missed Bella too.She hadn't called her ever since their quarrel and she needed someone to talk to right now.
Karina swallowed her pride and dialed Bella's number. She picked on the third ring.
Karina_ Hello Bells.
Bella_ I am really suprised to see your call, i thought we were still beefing each other.
Karina_ I was never beefing you Bella. I was only angry. I behaved wrongly, i shouldn't have spoken to you that way. I missed our friendship Bells.
Bella_ I missed that too. How have you been?
Karina_Bad, i told Nick i was jealous of his relationship with Tari.
Bella_ (Suprised) You dont mean it!!!
Karina_ Yea i do mean it, and i asked him to give some space, does that make me crazy Bells?
Bella_No (she said softly) It only makes you human. You have feelings for him which is more than obvious.
Karina_I do have feelings for him, that i would admit to,but he is my bestfriend and i wouldn't want to break his relationship because of the feelings i have.
Bella_I understand what you mean.
Karina_Does that mean we are back to being friends.
Bella_Yes we are,got to go,would see you later bye love.
Karina_Bye Bells.
With that Karina hung up. Now she needed to think of what to say to Nick when she calls him.
Re: Bound To Fail by Leriebloom(f): 4:57pm On Jan 09, 2016
Episode 9
Karina sat down in her sitting room sulking. She was being a chicken, no one had to tell her that. She had tried to think about a million things to say when shw called him but nothing came up. And guess what!!, she ended up chickening out. She didn't call him. Couldn't. She needed to get out of her house fast, because she felt she was already having a huge mental illness from thinking. Truth be told, she felt empty.
She stared at the television and yet still couldn't make sense on what they were doing. This was insane. She was insane. She had broken the number one rule of their platonic relationship. She had fallen inlove. She stood up from the chair, grabbed her car keys and left the house with no idea on where she was actually going.

* * * *
"What's a lovely lady doing all by herself?" Karina looked up to see a guy on suit. He looked nerdy but was a little bit cute, but not her type.
"Maybe this lovely lady wants to be left alone" Karina said averting her attention back to her drink and taking a long sip of her cocktail.
"Why are you being so rude, its not a crime if a guy wants to talk to you and know you better" the guy said still standing his ground.
Karina knew she was tuck in a bad situation. She didn't want to embarass the stranger, neither did she want to embarass herself. Just when she was about to open her mouth and make matters worse, she heard a voice.

Episode 10
"She is here with me" a deep voice said. A voice which Karina knew from somewhere. She abandoned her drink and turned around to look at the other stranger.
She was beyond shocked at who she saw. This was unbelivable!. The guy standing behind her and giving a death gaze to the cute stranger was her first love. Ibrahim Bankole. He looked better than she had ever seen him look. She had met him when she was in her first year in the university, and she had fallen inlove with his awesome personality, she had seen him as her mr right. He was briliant, caring, understanding, he had listening ears, and was really charming (so many reasons why a girl would fall in love). He had asked her out after he noticed her in the same class they both read in every night. Truth be told, his reading techniques had been the exact reason why she had taken it as a duty to always attend night classes. They had both been the perfect couple. And after a few months into the relationship he had deflowered her.
She was so lost in thoughts that she had not noticed the cute stranger had left and Ibrahim had taken a sit beside her.
"Karina, you look as beautiful as ever" Ibrahim whistled out. Karina could not help but smile shyly.
"I could say the same for you" she said softly. (What the heck happened to her voice!!, why was she going all soft for him).
"I still regret leaving you" Ibrahim said sadly.
"I still regret giving you my heart Ibrahim" Karina said trying to get her normal self back.
"And why would you say that?" He seemed suprisingly surprised which made Karina pissed off. He had been the one to opt out of the relationship.
"I cant believe you asked me that. You broke up with me because of distance. Ibrahim! mere distance when you claimed you had loved me" she said trying to keep her cool
"Karina, i still regret the day i turned my back on what we had. I really loved you pls believe that"
"I still hate you for what you did" Karina said even if she knew she had never really hated him.
"Let us put our past behind us and start all over again" Ibrahim said and Karina could tell he was already desperate.
"Fine. I wont talk about the past any more" Karina said
"Thank you. What have you been up to?" Ibrahim said to her while he signalled for a waiter to come.
"Nothing really. I work as an external auditor,pretty boring i know and apart from that,it is just me living my normal usual everyday life" karina said playing with her nails.
The waiter came to their table before Ibrahim could speak.
"How may i serve you sir?" the waiter asked
"I would have a glass of ice tea please" Ibrahim said in a hurry to dismiss the waiter. The waiter scribbled something down on his note and left
"That's nice. So tell me, who is the lucky man?" Ibrahim asked and just when Karina was about to give a reply, karma decided to play a trick on her. Her phone began to ring and it was Nick calling.
Re: Bound To Fail by Leriebloom(f): 8:04pm On Jan 10, 2016
Episode 11
Maybe Karma wanted her to choose. She wouldn't be the one to break a relationship because of a whimsical fancy. She knew Ibrahim was looking at her. She couldn't have him thinking that Nick was something to her so she ended up ignoring the call.
Ibrahim gave her a questioning look and karina touched her ears lightly and gave a nervous laugh. "That was nobody important" Karina lied. The lie seemed to slap her so hard because she lnew deep down that Nick was one of the most important people she had in her life. "I have turned into a liar, even to my self" Karina thought to herself.
Trying so hard to change the subject, she said "I noticed you still don't drink"
Ibrahim laughed "You know me too well. I am not much of the alcohol person"
karina smiled sweetly "And it is one of the things i loved so much about you, it makes you even more charming" Karina said and hit her head mentally "DRINKING MAKES YOU EVEN MORE CHARMING" who says that?!
Ibrahim smiled staring into her eyes "Thank you, so who is the man in your life?"
Karina swallowed hard and lied again, "There is no man"
Ibrahim seemed surprised. "How is that even possible?" he asked.
Karina stared at her almost empty glass. She felt ashamed. "It is possible because every man who comes into my life come with the intention of breaking me, including you" she said looking at him when saying her last sentence.
Guilt was written all over his face "I thought you said you would not talk about the past again"
Karina could feel her eyes watering "There is a limit i can take Ibrahim. You dont know how i suffered when you left me!. You murdered my self esteem, i began to wonder if the fault was from me. You left me without a single word, you blocked my contact!!, you cut me off totally. I hated you,i really did. Ibrahim you were the cause of my misfortune in my other relationships, yet i still fought for a love i know doesn't exist. Ibrahim you made my life a living hell when you left me. I became the laughing stock at school, every eyes were on me, they wanted to know the next move i would make after i was dumped by the school most popular boy. Ibrahim you might have an awesome personality but you have alot of flaws that could drown you. I don't think i can sit here and make a fool of me for a second time, i am not that dumb" karina knew she had caught alot of attention. Without turn to look at who and who was staring she stood up and left without paying Ibrahim a second glance.







I posted twice today and i really feel gud bout it. Yea, i know, Karina's mood swings are crazy. One moment she is thinking bout getting with Ibrahim and the next minute she is lashing out at him. Would try and update early tommorow.

Episode 12
Karina was doing the dishes when she heard a knock on her door, she cleaned her hands with the wiper and went straight to the door. She stared through the peep hole and was suprised at who she saw. Ibrahim. How did he even get her address. How did he find her. Karina opened the door and stared at him heads on.
"How did you find this place, are you stalking me?" Karina asked.
Ibrahim looked guilty "Not really. I hired a private investigator to find you. He cost a fortune too"
Karina crossed her hands "So he cost a fortune, should i hit my head on the wall and start kissing your feet?"
"Karina please i just want you to hear me out. That's all i want right now" Ibrahim pleaded.
"Okay, go on. Let me hear what you have to say" she said leaning on the door.
Ibrahim tried to look past her "Can i come in, atleast"
Karina frowned and let him in.
"So??" she asked closing her door.
"I want to apologize for causing you so much pain. It is true i cut you off, but i did it for a reason. I wanted you to find someone better. You were just too good for me" Ibrahim said.
Karina's eyes was already teary "Why didnt you just leave me to be the perfect judge. I knew what i wanted Ibrahim. At that point, not even distance could come between what i had for you. You messed it all up!, you should have just left me to do the judging"
"I still regret what i did Karina, because i still love you, i never stopped loving you" Ibrahim said camly.
"You love me?" Karina asked suprised.
Ibrahim moved closer to her "Yes. Never stopped" with that he kissed her and Karina forgot her environment, forgot she was supposed to be mad at him. She jolted back to reality when she heard a knock on her door.
Ibrahim moved away "Are you expecting anyone?" he asked.
Karina shook her head unable to voice out anything. She opened the door without looking through the peep hole and was shocked at who she saw standing on her porch.
"Nick?" She said wide eyed.
"Karina, i am sorry but i couldn't stay away. I know i promised to give you your space___" he said walking into the house. His eyes fixed on her "but i missed you Karina,i____" he stopped mid-sentence when he noticed Ibrahim.
"Who is this Karina?"Nick asked fixing a death gaze on Ibrahim.
"Was about asking the same question, who the heck are you" Ibrahim retorted back at him.
Karina stared from one man to the next. They both looked like they would be throwing eachother punches anytime soon. She was saved by another knock on the door. Both men diverted their attention to the door.
"Please God let that be Bells.Pls pls pls" Karina prayed mentally and opened the door. It sure wasn't Bells. This was a man. The stupid fool she had said she never wanted to see anymore. Nelson!!!!!.
"Karina, i know you said you never wanted to____" he stopped midsentence when he noticed the two men glaring at him.
"Karina, who the fvck are those men??" Nelson asked.
Karina felt her world falling apart.
Re: Bound To Fail by Leriebloom(f): 7:55pm On Jan 11, 2016
Episode 13
Nobody was talking. The three men were sitted on different chairs in the sitting room glaring at each other and Karina stood in the middle of the sitting room. The tension in the room was so thick that a knife could slice through it. Karina took a deep breath, "Be strong, be strong, be strong" she told herself. She would start with the smallest of her problems before she moved to the bigger ones. Nelson. "Nelson what are you doing in my house?" Karina asked trying so hard not to go over to him and punch his head. The expression on Nelson's face made him look like a child who was about to be punished after doing something bad.
"Karina, i couldn't stay away" Nelson said camly.
"Nelson, we are over. Get the picture" Karina said with a dont mess with me face.
"But___" He tried talking but Karina cut him short.
"Get out of here Nelson before i kick you where the sun doesn't shine" Karina said. She could all but see the horrified expression on his face. She watched him stand up and leave with his tails between his legs. A$$hole. Karina said mentally.
Her first problem was out of the way, she was left with two big problems. Karina swallowed hard. "Okay here i go" karina said under her breath. She knew she had to make a choice on who she would allow to stay, and she already knew who she would choose. She fixed her gaze on Ibrahim. "Ibrahim i am sorry we got interrupted. I would give you a call, i have a serious catching up to do with my bestfriend" karina said softly. She could see the look on Ibrahim's face, he was suprised and angry she would choose Nick over him.
"What sort of catching up Karina, painting nails and gossip?!, what the fvck?" Ibrahim said angrily
"Ibrahim i would call you. I need to talk to my bestfriend" Karina said softly.
"The fvck you want to" with that Ibrahim stood up and left.
Karina turned her full attention to Nick "Nick i missed you, alot" she said and watched him as he stood up and moved closer to her, for a moment she thought he was going to kiss her, but instead he gave her a bear hug. "I missed you even more Karina"

Episode 14
Karina rested her head on Nick's chest as he held her.
"Why didn't you call me Karina?, i waited for your call but i never got any" Nick asked playing with her hair.
"I dont know. I felt guilty after leaving you with a long face in The Royals, i didn't know how to face you, what to even say when i called you. I am sorry for hurting you Nick" Karina said softly.
"So, who is Ibrahim to you?" Nick asked still playing with her hair. He really hated the guy. There was someyhing strange about him. Something Nick couldn't quite place a finger on.
Karina moved closer to Nick "He was my ex. My first love"
Nick felt a wave of jealosy hit him. More reasons to hate the so called Ibrahim. "You never spoke about him back then in school " Nick said underneath his breadth.
"That's because the thought of him made me hurt. He cut me off" karina said staring into bestfriend's eyes.
"I don't like him, i never did" Nick said.
"Why?" Karina asked.
"Because you still have feelings for him" Nick voiced out.
Karina was speechless, she didn't know what to say "that is because he was my first" Karina whispered. Nick nodded sadly. Karina didn't know where the courage came from, or when she moved even more closer that she was pressed against him, but she knew they both met each other half way and they kissed.
