Love Rivals 15
ALEX:
I don't know why Claire had to come now that Sam was here, I looked at Sam and saw her wearing a shocked expression, I have to let Claire know that I've moved on with Claire and then I'll explain to Sam what happened, I can't afford to lose her now when we're just getting to the peak of our relationship, I took a deep breath, and faked a smile holding Sam closer to me, "Claire, meet my girlfriend, Samantha, Sam, Meet Claire, my 'EX' girlfriend", I said emphasizing the ex, I felt Sam shudder beside me, and I instantly felt guilty, I don't to cause a misunderstanding between us after this, I sighed and looked at Claire as she glared at Sam, she thought I would still be that guy that always ran to her, not anymore.

SAM:
I stiffened as Alex introduced this beautiful woman as his ex girlfriend, emphasizing the ex to let me know she meant to him, I shuddered, I thought I was the only girl in his life, then I recalled what Chelsea had said;
Chelsea: Please take care of my brother, he's very fragile.
Now I understood what she meant, Alex was healing from losing Claire, and that's why he was showing me so much love so that he won't lose me too, I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder, Chelsea's words clearing all my doubts about Claire, I saw Claire glaring at me, and I felt content with where I was, "Alex, how...I thought you...Alex we can figure this out, please I know we had a misunderstanding, but we will work it out, I love...", she was unable to finish her ranting because Alex cut her off with his hand, "Stop! You didn't love me, you never did, did you know what I went through after you left me that day, I shut myself out from everyone, cause I thought I had lost half of Me, I waited for you everyday to tell me that it was only a joke, I waited until I had to accept the fact that you were never coming back to me, so I had to move on, and when I was healing, I met Sam, she helped me heal, I owe her my love, she did something you were yet to do, and I would never trade her for anything in the world", I was speechless, I knew Alex to be a speaker but this was something else, I watched Claire to see her reaction but saw nothing but shock written all over her face, Alex took a deep breath and pulled Spirit's reins letting us to move, I glanced back and saw Claire still standing there glancing at nowhere, and so I changed my gaze, I wonder how Alex is feeling after having an encounter with his ex, I didn't want to make the atmosphere more awkward than it already was, so I kept my mouth shut.
We reached home and I got down, I met Chelsea and then I ran to her grabbing her hand to tell her what just happened.

ALEX:
I watched Chelsea and Sam run inside the house immediately we came home, just as I suspected Sam was ignoring me, well, I will wait till tonight before giving her an explanation, I sighed and took care of Spirit, he neighed and rubbed it's mane on my body.

SAM:
"Woah, careful miss, what's wrong?", Chelsea asked as I dragged her all the way inside the house, I sat down and she followed me, "Is everything alright Sam", Chelsea asked, I faced her, "I finally found out what you wanted to tell me", I paused waiting for her reaction, she was listening intently, I told her all that transpired when I and Alex when coming back.
"Wow, so what's the plan now?", Chelsea asked, "I don't know, I'm still trying to get used to the fact that Alex had loved someone before me", I said placing my hands on my head and bowing my head, "Well, who's he with now?", Chelsea asked, "Me", I replied, "And now what do you think you should do? Remember what I said, don't make him feel what he felt before", she said, and then I realized, I was only thinking about myself, I didn't think about Alex, "Thanks sis", I said hugging Chelsea and then I ran to Alex, I met him sitting on the rockingchair outside, he was bowing his head on his legs with his eyes closed, I smiled, he was feeling guilty about what happened, I slowly approached him.

ALEX:
I was thinking of how to explain to Sam when I heard footsteps, I raised my head and saw Sam, my heart started racing what do I say to her now, she reached where I was and sat down beside me, "Sam, I...I...I can explain", I stuttered, "Don't bother...", she said, I suddenly started feeling sweaty, was she leaving me, I was so paranoid that I didn't even realize she was holding me, "I understand so I'm not upset that you had someone before me, but what I'm upset about is that you didn't tell me about her, I love you Alex and I would like to know if you actually feel the same way about me...", I was silently panicking, "I do love you Sam, but I didn't want you to know about Claire because I was still healing, you were helping me heal, so thinking about her and how she abandoned me would tear open the already healed wound", I said with my head bowed and on the verge of tears, she held my hand and looked at me, our eyes meeting, "... please let's not keep secrets from each other", I nodded fighting off the tears in my eyes from falling out, she understood me, she wasn't leaving, I hugged her tight, "Thank you", I whispered before letting her go, we gazed into each other's eyes, she leaned in and crashed her lips on mine, she kissed me passionately and I cupped her face and deepened the kiss, what started out as a simple passionate kiss turned into a hungry one, I pushed my tongue in her mouth and she moaned softly, I played with her tongue as we kissed, she joined me and we only stopped to catch our breath, I love this girl so much, I said to myself as I looked at her, she smiled and rested her head on my shoulder as we gazed into space.

CLAIRE:
I couldn't believe what I just witnessed, Alex, a guy whom I thought would still be head over heels in love with me is comfortably cuddling another woman saying that she was his girlfriend. Samantha, you'll pay for taking my man away from me, if I can't have Alex, no one can", I said thinking of a thousand ways to get rid of Sam and finally have Alex all to myself again.
