Loving You, My Only Regret (MxM)

MyFault

Chapter 3: My Fault

***

It didn’t take long before I met her…

She was beautiful, stylish, with long luscious hair and clear skin, compared to me this woman was the embodiement of beauty… and she…

“You were the skank that’s trying to get with my boyfriend? You’re a freaking guy! How disgusting! I didn’t think he could stood this low to even think about cheating on me, much less with someone like you!” This woman her name is Blossom, a beautiful name for someone like her it fitted perfectly… that was before she opens her mouth to yell at me, but other than that, it suited her.

“I don’t reall…” Before I could say anything else my lord and savior Bradley came along and stopped her in her tracks.

“Don’t yell at him for your stupid boyfriend Davis being a cheater! He has nothing to do with what that guy decides to go for… Besides you should be angry with Davis and not him.” Bradley’s strong words made him seem so reliable I felt more at ease… that was before I watched that 5 foot something short woman with a thin frame absolutely obliterate my tall friend with a drop kick.

I didn’t even think it was humanly possible to see something like that in real life. And then the next moment I was subjected to a kick as well that brought me to my knees, I was close to eating cement before I heard Davis arriving…

Barely a month since we started dating and I find out he was cheating on me… no wait maybe he was cheating on her since they were together first? Right, I’m a bit slow… but…

“What is the meaning of this, huh? You think it’s alright to just-” Before Blossom could unleash her true rage onto the man, she was stopped by his kind expression. It seems like she too has fallen to the spell of his good looks that he flaunts.

“The truth is… I’m in love with both of you…” Davis said with an overly dramatic expression on his face. The air he had around him at that moment was so different to the image I had in my head.

“Really?” Blossom seemed rather enthralled by his theatrical performance, but I couldn’t help but stare at him in disbelief. Because I thought I was special and just now at that moment I realized the cold hard truth… I wasn’t anyone special at all…

“You… want to date us both? As in those poly relationships?” Blossom asked, as Davis looked a bit bewildered for a moment and then nodded, continuing his dramatic display.

“I am not a man for a single woman, or man…” He said in passing. “I need to be with you both for it’s the only way to satisfy my clenching heart and the desire for warmth.” I think he meant s*x in that part but either way this time… I wasn’t falling for it…

In fact seeing him like this completely broke my illusion that I had of him… the pedestal onto which I had put him was now shattered… and yet the feelings still remained, only now they were more bitter than heartfelt…

“So that’s why… you actually needed more than me, right?”Blossom seemed to come to a deep realization of her own, as her hands clasped together I saw her soccer punch him straight to the jaw. I didn’t think it was humanly possible for such a strong hit from a relaxed stance, but I stood corrected.

“You stupid bastard, as in anyone would fall for that trick! You think me and… what was your name again?” She turned to me and asked.

“Lance…” I replied carefully.

“You thought that me and Lance were that stupid, right?” Blossom turned back towards Davis who was now sitting on the ground, her heel quickly found it’s way buried in the man’s crotch as she grabbed me by the arm and took me away.

In the entire confusion both Davis and Bradley were left behind… while I was dragged by this unbelievably strong and beautiful woman…

“I’m sorry…” She stopped when we were a distance away from them, just enough for them not to overhear us, and just enough to allow her to shed the tears she’d been holding back from. “I didn’t mean to blame it all on you, I just thought… that surely it was someone else’s fault… I didn’t want to think I was being played by him… I wanted to believe in him…”

“Me too, I wanted to believe in him all the same…” I remarked in the same solemn manner, only I couldn’t cry the way she did… I was too impressed by her, my amazement didn’t leave me, I felt my heard was beating out of my chest just looking at this woman…

How could anyone cheat on such a beautiful and gentle person?

“I… I’m so stupid…” From blaming me, to blaming him, at the end she ended up pinning all this on herself.

I held her shoulders which were slender, she was just a little bit shorter than me, and I was short for a guy to begin with. She pressed her head into my chest maybe involuntarily, maybe out of habit… or maybe it was just natural for a crying person to seek comfort.

“It’s not your fault… it’s his…” I spoke in a low voice but I think she wasn’t able to hear me. Blossom’s sobbing continued for a while longer. And I felt guilty because the more I looked at her the more enthralled I seemed to become…

But I didn’t want to see her shed anymore tears… I wanted to see her smile…

“You… really liked him, right?” Blossom asked me as she pushed me back a little. As if she was regaining her composure, it had already been ten minutes but the time seemed to pass too quickly…

“I did… but now that I saw that… how he mistreated you, me… I think I don’t have any lingering feelings for him.” I reassured her but it wasn’t entirely true. After all I wouldn’t even be there if my feelings could disappear just as easily as that.

“Do… you want to get back at him?” Blossom asked me and I c****d my head in confusion.

“How?” I asked, and Blossom seemed to look at me with a silent resolve, the kind you’d see in one of those historical dramas where the samurai decides to travel on a large adventure. She braced herself, wiping away her tears that had piled up.

“Date me to get back at him…” Blossom suggested, and I was left completely bewildered. I didn’t know what she meant at the time and how that would make that man feel bad, I didn’t understand it…

But what I did understand was that she was hurt and she wanted a way to make him pay… she wanted someone to be by her side…

And as selfish as it was… I too wanted to be there for her…

I thought to myself… if I had a chance with someone like her… then… maybe I could truly forget about Davis after all…

“Let’s do it.” I agreed almost immediately, there wasn’t much deliberation on my part. She seemed happy and that quick but pained smile made my heart flutter… was it really alright for me to be feeling like this right now?

Surely there must be some catch to it all, right?

No one gets such a lucky strike for no reason?

So as any rational human being I assumed fate was playing tricks on me again… but then…

“Do you think it suits me?” Blossom asked, it had already been a week from out fake dating story and she looked cheerful but at time there was still a certain pain aching and chipping away at her, a pain I halfway understood for myself…

“Yeah, it’s beautiful…” I remarked seeing the navy dress in her arms. It was a wedding, she’d told her parents that she had met the one… and that one happened to be Davis…

But now it was me…

The thing is, which is lucky that they never asked for pictures of the guy until now, so I could be him no problem… the issue was…

“My family is a bit odd I have to admit. My father will tell you he hates you but just try to win his favor. My brother is an engineer, my mother a Doctor, and my younger sister a piano prodigy… So they all have these impossibly high standards for my partner…” Blossom’s quick decription of her family made my head spin, was I really going to meet with such people at a wedding no less?

“Ah, and the wedding is my second cousin’s… we don’t get along with her, since she’s into the science stuff and I’m a model. She makes fun of me and says I won’t result to anything in life… so… um…” Blossom looked a bit down as she spoke. “If it’s too much… please tell me now and I won’t force you to come with me, it’s really fine.”

“No, I’ll do it… I’d be the worst fake boyfriend if I didn’t, right?” I said jokingly, although I meant it for real. I wanted her to see me as a reliable person… somehow… I wanted her to rely on me more and more.

She beamed a quick smile and went back to shopping… it was fun… and then about a week later the wedding had come and I was in for another larger than life surprise there… Who would have thought that out of all the places a wedding would be held, they'd decide to hold it in this freaking large mansion!? Which soon I found out was actually owned by her family.

So she is somewhat of a rich heiress that works as a model and refuses support from her extremely intilectually stimulated family for they look down on her...

And I'm her boyfriend who's suppossed to be somehow impressive... which I clearly am not...

Just as I feared this would end up being much more complicated than it had seemed from the begining... however... whenever I looked at Blossom and the brave face she was putting on although she was afraid... I couldn't help but think... that I wanted to help her show them she wasn't any less than them...
