Rent a christian boyfriend

She was so angry

"Thanks a lot man for coming through.." Jeremy uttered, I wasn't really concentrated on what we were suppose to do today. I just felt like Leona and I needed space from each other so he called I was quick to agree to anything he had to say even if it meant we were going to pick up dresses or decor colors. I knew Addie had already done that so whatever, as long as I was out of the house.

"No problem, mate." I replied.

"I have to fetch the rings, we had already had them custom made, we just have to fetch them.." He said as we walked towards a fancy looking shop with Tiffany in front of it. I didn't take anything else into detail figured this was the shop, it looked expensive. Getting married is expensive that's one conclusion, I had come to.

"I wanna get Addie a necklace, she has no idea so I'm really excited about that." He said scratching his visibly grown stubble.

"We certainly need to get you cleaned up before the wedding.." I said out of the blue.

"Need a hair cut." Jeremy said removing his cap and running his hand through his hair. "Shave.." He added chuckling. He was just such a carefree guy, if it was someone else they would have gotten mad at my sarcastic comment. Jeremy was always smiling and laughing, we had formed some sort of friendship with Sam as well. Friends isn't something, I was ever keen on. I like being alone and I hated having to explain to people who I am and what I like or where I come from. It was frustrating because I'm not an open person.

"I got you!" I gave him a pat on the shoulder. We were practically the same height although he was slight two inches taller being at 6'4.

"Hi, welcome to Tiffany's and co. Need any help. We have the new engagement collection and-" Jeremy politely cut her off as he explained.

"Oh no thanks, I'm just here to collect an order we made a few weeks back. I received a text that it was all done!"

"Oh ofcourse sir, can I have your initials?" The lady said to Jeremy. I kind of just walked away, looking around as they did their little chatter. A very beautiful ring caught my eye, it was rose gold. Remembering the tattoo I had with Leona when I told her she was such a rose feisty with thorns. I loved the color, it was certainly outstanding from the rest. The diamond sparkle in between screamed expensive, I didn't want to bother looking at the price to with my hands in my pockets I just continued admiring it through the glass.

"That's the Blushing bride engagement ring in rose gold with cushion-cut diamond and side stones.." Another worker dressed in black and white formal said out of the blue. I didn't even ask her-

"The name, Blushing Bride, refers to a Cape flower all the way from Cape Town South Africa as well as an old courting ritual. Men used to present the Serruria florida fynbos flower to their beloved, or wear it in their lapel when they went for a courting visit, to signify their romantic intentions." She continued, I wanted to walk away showing her that I was interested.

"No, actually-" she cut me off.

"Figured the guy with the black cap is the groom but you seem to have someone on your mind." She gave me a genuine smile, I returned the genuine gesture. We both looked to where Jeremy was standing with the other shop assistant in awe of his rings, he looked excited.

"Yeah, I don't plan on marrying any time soon. I just thought it was beautiful." I shrugged my black leather jacket and she nodded.

"You're considering it.." She added.

"Not at all." I protested.

"Want to take a look you're allowed to.." she said as she slid open the compartment that held the delicate ring.

"I'm good." I quickly said but she wouldn't listen.

"And the cut of this diamond, the cushion cut, has a history dating back nearly 200 years. Originally, this was the ideal cut for a diamond engagement ring, though the round cut took over after about 100 years. More recently, modern cutting and polishing techniques have seen this style come back into favour. It's a very beautiful ring.." She said taking it out, it looked even more alluring out of the glass. I didn't hesitate as she handed it to me, I held it delicately. I wouldn't want to pay for something I couldn't afford at the end of the day.

"Wow!" I said in a captivated tone.

"Erm... how much is it?" I awkwardly asked.

It wouldn't hurt to ask right?

"A little over $7000.." She said smoothly, I simply blinked at her.

"A little? Are you f*****g serious?" I said in a sarcastic tone.

"If you're looking for cheap, I'd advise you to go on the Wish app or AliExpress there is always something for less than $50" She replied cooly not bothered. I handed her back the ring, there was one thing I could agree to, she was good at her job.

"Woah Eric man, already looking to tie Leona down?" Jeremy came behind me, surprising me because I had forgotten he was here.

"Oh so he does have a someone?" The shop assistant added, i put my hands back in my pockets and just shrugged.

"It's beautiful, very unique." Jeremy added.

"So sorry I'm late Jer, My bestfriend had a crisis." I heard a woman's voice and the sound of heels clicking on the titles floor. At the sound of the name Leona, my instincts were relatively high and out.

"Leona has a crisis? Is she okay?" I quickly asked Laura who only glared at me. What was she doing here anyways?

"You're such a heartless douchebag, Eric!" Laura almost yelled making people around the shop look at us.

I was confused.

"Is she okay?" I quickly felt my back pockets making sure, I have my car keys with me. Jeremy looked utterly confused. "Look I'm so sorry Jeremy, I'm gonna have to go check on my girlfriend."

"No problem bud, I hope she is alright." He said, always considerate.

"No you're not going anywhere near her. Just leave her alone please. She doesn't need you and she won't ever need you."

"This sounds very serious Laura, you didn't have to come if it meant you would leave your friend. I just wanted your opinion on the necklace I plan on surprising Addie with.." Jeremy said concerned.

"No no no, it's alright. I promised to make my sisters wedding an awesome one and I always keep my promises." Laura smiled at Jeremy simultaneously giving me a glare.

They left to go choose the necklaces. I just stood there stupefied on the right side of the shop. Laura didn't plan on telling me anything so I went out of the shop to make a quick phone call.

She didn't answer.

She didn't answer.

She didn't answer.

My gut told me I needed to go home but I knew she wouldn't be at home probably at Laura and Sam's apartment.

Sam!!!

Ofcourse Sam, so I quickly called Sam.

"Hey man!" He answered.

"What's up?" I replied trying to my best to act normal.

"Nothing much just watching Nemo with Lee here, apparently I gotta babysit her. Laura demanded it."

So I guessed right?!

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"Man, you really messed up big time." He said softly.

"Sam?? Is that the pizza guy? I'm really hungry and I don't think I will be going home tonight. All you have is cereal in here. Can we have Chinese too. Argh or Mexican? No no KFC I just want them all." I heard Leona's voice in the background.

"Leona, I'm not the man who made you pregnant give me a break. Continue eating your Cheetos and be quiet otherwise I won't order..."

My heart dropped.

"I'm not pregnant you stupid door knob!" I heard Leona laughing at his remark. That made me feel a bit at ease but-

"Oooh indenial, keep telling your self that soon to be mommy."

"I hate you Sam!"

I immediately heard a door slam closed.

"Hey man, can't really talk right now because I will get in trouble but don't worry she is okay, it was just a scare nothing to worry about."

"A scare?" I asked.

"I don't wanna say the wrong thing.. she will talk to you when she feels the time is right." Sam chuckled. "I'm no snitch!"

"Dude what are you saying?"

At this point, I was pulling the roots of my hair in anticipation.

"There you're you dickhead." Laura came out of the blue. I noticed Jeremy giving out his credit card so they were done and making payments.

"I thought we were friends!" I said but she continued glaring at me with glazing eyes.

"Eric Rickey whoever you're, just stay the far f**k away from my friend, three weeks left just three f*****g weeks left and you won't ever have to see my face or her face or any of us. Stick to your job, don't f**k my friend and when you do just make sure you at-least wear a f*****g condom. I wouldn't want any reason for you to stay! Just attend the wedding meet your brother and leave. That's all. It's not so hard to do." She sighed then looked away. "Look Eric, there really isn't a reason for you to stay here. I don't mind paying you to just leave right now ditch everything and atleast Lee would be hurt once and for all then it's done."

For the first time, I was hurt.

Unwanted was a familiar feeling but this hurt.

"I understand." I replied my voice a little raspy.

"Look.. I love her." I said in a low voice, Laura's blue eyes widened.

"Wow, you have the nerve to f*****g lie to my face. Very shallow!" She spat. "Don't you dare lie to her because I know she will believe you."

"All done, they say I should pick it up in a week." Jeremy said abruptly, he seemed to be in a good mood. I didn't want to ruin that neither did Laura so we just smiled and talked about the pieces Laura had helped him choose. I didn't want to go home, Leo wasn't coming home. It didn't feel like home without her. A feeling of longing and guilt was all I felt.

My life was complicated but not this complicated.
