Forbidden desiress

EVA'S POV

"I am sorry Eva but it is just not working and I think it's best we end this relationship...I wish you all the best and I pray you meet someone who is as amazing as I was."

I read the text message over and over again as I burst into laughter.

"You pray I meet someone as amazing as you??? The nerve of this fucker!!" I said as I continued laughing.

"What's the matter sister??? Why are you laughing??" my younger sister Rachel asked as she walked into the room.

"Take a look at this." I said as I showed her the text message I got from my boyfriend or ex boyfriend at the moment.

"Again??" she asked with a worried look on her face.

"You are sounding like this is bad."

"This is actually bad Eva...this one broke up with you through a text message!! Are you sure you aren't doing something wrong in your relationships??"

"What do you mean by that Rachel??? It's not my fault that these bastards can't see the amazing person they had as their girlfriends." I said, rolling my eyes.

"But this is the fifth guy who has broken up with you in the space of three months."

Well, Rachel may be right but I wasn't the problem and besides I am not one to force someone to stay in a relationship when they don't want to.

"I don't need you to keep tabs on my relationships Rachel...I am not a child."

"Exactly sister, you aren't a child and neither am I...very soon, mom is going to start asking questions."

"Asking questions about what??" I asked.

"About our men...when we are going to bring a man home and when we are getting married."

Here we go again, the constant reminder that age wasn't on my side anymore and that I needed to bring home a man.

Sometimes I really don't know the difference between my sister and my Mother because they have the exact same characteristics especially when it came to taunting me about marriage.

"Marriage is a different ballgame Rachel....besides, I am not going to force a man to come marry me." I said.

"Well I want to get married on time...if you don't, well sucks for you." she said as she walked out of the room.

My sister Rachel who I was older than with just 2 years could be a pain in the ass most times.

She was always the one to remind me that I wasn't getting any younger and for some reasons, she was my mom's favorite.

When it came to relationships, I was the jinxed one and she was always the lucky one because even when she breaks up with her boyfriends, they go as far as coming to the house to plead for her to take them back.

One time, one of them bought my mom a car just to plead with her to speak and beg my sister on his behalf.

After going through the break up text message I was sent for the last time, I decided to do something shameful by calling him.

I dialed his number and it rang.

"Hello Eva, I hope my text message reached you well???" he asked.

"Why??" I asked.

"Why what??"

"Why are you breaking up with me??? What did I do wrong??"

"Look Eva, I thought we were over this already??"

"Over what??? You sending me a lousy text message that you are breaking up with me for no reason??"

"No reason?? Really Eva?? You think I broke up with you for no reason??"

"Then why did you break up with me??"

"Your standards are so high up your ass ever and even your standards have more ass than you ever will...your condescending behavior isn't going to take you far and the truth is that time isn't really on your side anymore...you look for every fault in me but the actual truth is that you are far from being perfect yourself but you don't see that because your Ego has blinded you....look, I wish you all the very best and please don't call me again." he said as he hung up the call.

I hung my mouth so wide open that flies threatened to fall in.

"Did he just say all of that to me??" I asked myself.

I dialed his number again but it wasn't going through which could only mean that he blocked me.

"He fucking blocked me!!!" I said as I laughed like a maniac.

I couldn't believe that after insulting me, he had the nerves to block me.

There was no way I was going to just sit back and watch him do that to me without doing anything about it.

I got up from the bed, freshened up, wore my clothes and made another stupid decision of going to his house to tell him every piece of my mind.

"Eva, where are you going and that too in a hurry??" my mother asked.

"Somewhere mom." I said.

"I hope the place you are going to will put a ring on your finger??"

"Mom!!???"

"What??? Do you think you are getting any younger??"

"I have no time for this mom."

"Well you better do because very soon I will be shipping you off my house."

I wasn't in the mood to respond to her taunts and so I just walked out of the house.

After ordering an uber, it took about an hour to get to his location due to the distance of his house.

I paid the uber his money as he drove off and I looked around the house before pressing the doorbell.

At first there was no response and when I pressed the doorbell again, I heard footsteps walking towards the door.

As soon as the door sprang open, I saw a blonde haired lady standing with just a towel around her chest.

"Hi, who are you and what are you here for??"

EVA'S POV

"Hi, who are you and what are you here for??" she asked.

"Wow, it's barely even minutes since he broke up with me and now he is with another??" I asked as I scoffed.

"What??? Excuse me, I ask again who the hell are you and why are you here??"

"I should be the one asking you that question...why are you at my boyfriend's house??" I asked.

Never did I ever think I would stoop so low as to do whatever I was doing at the moment.

"Boyfriend?? I think you lost your way here." She said.

I was about to respond to her when the one who broke up with me through a text message yelled from a distance.

"Baby,who is it??!!!"

"Baby?? Oh wow." I said as I laughed.

"I don't know...I think she lost her say here and she is acting crazy too."

I heard footsteps as he walked out.

"Eva???" He said in shock.

"Yeah, Eva and it looks like you have found yourself a new plaything."

"Watch your words Eva.... aren't you ashamed of yourself??? I broke up with you through a text message and I was pretty sure I made the message clearer by blocking you and now you came to My house?? How shameless can you be??" He asked.

Tears gathered in my eyes as they threatened to fall after hearing those words come out of his mouth.

"You are the only one who is shameless!! So she was the reason you broke off our relationship??!!"

"Eva, you and I both knew the relationship wasn't going to last anyway so please go back home and move on." He said.

"What about the things I have ever gotten for you??!! I want them back!!"

Honestly, this was not how I imagined myself venting out of anger.

I was so hurt because I invested my time and effort in this particular relationship to make it work.

"You have overstayed your welcome, please leave now." Blondie said.

"Shut the fuck up!!! I wasn't talking to you."

She scoffed and went inside in such a hurry.

"That's right...walk away." I said.

"Leave now Eva or I am calling security."

"I am not going anywhere until you give me back the things I gifted you during the duration of our relationship."

Suddenly,Blondie came back out and before I could say something to her, she poured water on me.

I hung my mouth open in surprise as I looked at my body from head to toe.

"The next time you come here, it will be Acid.. stupid bitch." She said as they went inside and slammed the door on my face.

"Relationship-100 and Eva-0" I said as the tears threatening to come out finally came out.

I walked out and ordered a ride to my best friend's house drenched in water as I hung my head low in shame.

As soon as I got there, I knocked.

"Who is it?? I'm coming!!" She said.

Few seconds later, she opened the door.

"Hi Christina." I said.

"Oh my goodness!!! What happened, Eva??? Why are you drenched?? Did it rain??" She asked as she looked around in confusion.

"Can I come Inside first??"

"Yeah sure."

I walked inside the house and asked her for a change of clothes and after changing my clothes I sighed deeply as I laid on the bed.

"Girl, what happened??"

"Matthew broke up with me." I said.

"Again??!!"

"Really?? Even you???" I asked.

"I am sorry....but why??"

"I don't even know...he broke with me through a text message." I said as I showed her the text messages.

"He ended the relationship and had the guts to say all of these??" She asked in anger.

"That's not the craziest part....I am just coming from his house after his blonde girlfriend drenched me with water."

"You are joking right??"

"I wish I was."

"But why??? Why did you go over there Eva? That is unlike you."

"I don't even know why I went there, Christie.... it's like I was being compelled."

" Well I understand you Sweetie....it's yet another unexplainable breakup and maybe you just wanted closure."

"Never again am I getting into another relationship...I am done!!!" I said.

"Hey, don't say that....there is someone for you out there and when he comes, he will love and appreciate you for who you are."

"The universe is against me and I know there isn't anyone for me out there."

"That's what you said the last time before Matthew." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Girl, are you rolling your eyes at me??"

"Maybe." She said as we burst into laughter.

"You just need to take it easy Eva...work on yourself and the right man will find you." She said.

"Thanks babe...I am glad I came here because I knew I would feel better."

"How's your mom??"

"She is still mom...still persistent about me getting married."

"She needs to stop pressuring her children to get married!!"

"Says someone whose Father arranged a blind date for her." I said teasingly.

We both burst into laughter.

"No, my Dad is another version of crazy." She said.

"I figured."

"Everything will be fine Eva...just don't lose hope in love okay??"

"Okay, I guess...by the way I am starving." I said.

"You went to your ex's house on an empty stomach??? What, you intended to eat there??" She asked, smirking.

"you were the last person I expected to tease me like this." I said laughing.

"Well what are best friends for??"

"Are you going to feed my empty belly or not??"

"Calm dowTiger...Let me order some pizza...I'll be right back." She said.

"Thanks babe."

"Always welcome mama." She said as she left.

I looked around reminiscing on the event that happened earlier on and I realized how stupid I was.

Just as I was lost in thoughts, my phone started ringing.

I checked the caller Id and found out it was my mom calling.

" Hello, Mother??"

"Eva, you need to come over to the house right now...it's an emergency."

EVA'S POV

"Eva, you need to come over to the house right now...it's an emergency."

"What is it Mom?? What happened??" I asked in instant panic.

"Just come home Eva, it isn't something I can say on the phone." she said as she hung up the call.

Christina then walked in after a little while.

"Hey, I've ordered some pizza..extra cheese the way you like it." she said.

"Thank you Christie but I think I will be heading home now."

"You are joking right??? Don't try me Eva."

"Mom just called and said there was an emergency at home and that I should come home now."

"Emergency?? What sort of Emergency??"

"I really don't know because she didn't say." I said.

"Are you sure it's really an emergency?? Your mom is very good at raising false alarms."

"I know right." I said as we burst into laughter.

"So what's going to happen to the Pizza I ordered??" she asked with a pouty face.

"Okay, I will stay until the pizza arrives and then take it home."

"Fair enough." she said.

"Anyway thank you so much."

"Why are you thanking me like I am some sort of stranger?? Please quit doing that."

"That reminds me, how is our man??" I asked.

"What man?? I broke up with that bastard." she said.

"What?? When?? And why?"

"Can you believe that I asked him to be more romantic and he said he wasn't born to be romantic?? Who says that?"

"Wait what??" I asked as I burst into laughter.

"I am serious Eva...like what is he?? a mafia lord??"

"He wasn't born to be romantic?? What sort of jerk says that??"

"I really don't know and I don't give a fuck....I want my man to be the most romantic person I can ever come across."

"Well, I guess we are both twinning in singlevile." I said.

"Oh not for long honey...I am already talking to someone else." she said as she winked at me.

"Already?? Girl,you are something else."

"Whatever girl."

The doorbell suddenly rang and Christiana ran to answer it.

Few seconds later, she came in with the pizza.

"Hmm, it smells so good." I said.

"As always....anyway you better be heading home now before your Mom calls me."

"Rightt....take care girl and I will see you soon."

"You too babe..and take it easy okay....also inform me of the emergency when you get home."

"I will." I said as I hugged her and left her apartment.

I finally got back to the house and as soon as I entered, my sister squealed so loudly that I almost had a heart attack.

"Where have you been??" she asked excitedly.

"I went out...what is the problem?? And where is mom??" I asked in confusion.

"She is in the kitchen bringing us some wine." she said.

I was beginning to get so confused.

"Wine?? Why??"

"Tada!!!" she yelled as she showed me her finger.

I saw a huge diamond ring on it.

"He proposed!!!!" she squealed in happiness.

"Wait, how long have you been dating this guy again??" I asked.

"Eva, why can't you always be genuinely happy for your sister??" my Mother said as she walked in on us.

"She doesn't like me mom, that is why." Rachel said, rolling her eyes.

"What do you mean by I don't like you?? I only asked a simple question, Rachel."

"And how is that your business?? I don't see a ring in your finger." My mom said to me.

"Mom, really?? That is what you have to say??"

"Am I wrong?? Your sister in a relationship of barely five months has already gotten a ring on her finger but you have been chasing off all the eligible bachelors with your character and you are one to talk??"

I wasn't feeling bad after she said those words to me because it wasn't the first time.

Life with my sister has always been a competition and the moment things don't work out for me but works out for my sister, I get blacklashes from my Mom.

"Congratulations Rachel, I am happy for you." I said.

"Mom, can you hear that??" Rachel said.

"Why are you like this Eva, why are you so jealous and envious of your sister??"

I suddenly burst into laughter.

"Jealous?? Envious?? Where is that coming from?? I have never been jealous or envious of Rachel because she is my younger sister and I have always wanted the best for her."

"Then why haven't you proved that??"

"How?? She came home with an engagement ring and as a sensible sister I asked how long has she been in the relationship??

"And how is that any of your concern Eva??? Is that the congratulations she is supposed to get from her older sister??"

"Mom, a relationship of barely five months and she is already accepting a ring??? Isn't it too early to be thinking about the future with a guy she barely knows??" I asked.

"And who says I don't know Clark??? He has shown me everything to know about him and I have even seen his family and they don't have a problem with me so what is your problem Eva??" Rachel asked.

I only wanted the best for my sister and maybe it's because of my past relationships and how it ended that makes me genuinely scared for Rachel but if this was the road she chose to go, I had no choice but to give her my full support.

"Rachel, I am deeply sorry and I am genuinely happy for you....congratulations and I wish you and your fiance nothing but the very best." I said.

"Thank you." she said smiling.

"Now you are talking like my daughter....this calls for celebration!!! my daughter is getting married!!" My mother said.

"Yes mom!! Soon to be Mrs Rachel." Rachel said.

"Yes and that reminds me...Rachel I want you to invite Clark over."

"When Mom??"

"Tomorrow."

"Oh goodness, this is really happening." I said as I sighed deeply.
