Mistaken Desires
Chapter one
"Selena"
"Selena"
Her best friend tugged her arm relentlessly while sleeping, "SELENA"Immediately she heard her name she jolted from her sleep.
"Really Olivia,what is your issue leave me I want to sleep"
"Guess what, I went to the grocery store and across the street I saw across jewelry store and guess what I just saw Jake buying a ring for you,he is gonna propose and sooon I will be an aunt"Oliver giggled.
"Oh my gosh, Olivia this is the only reasonable thing that came out of your mouth since you were born"
Selena screamed in excitement,turned in anticipation, her joy knew no bounds.
"Oh my gosh,how is my hair,my skin, everything?"
"Just calm down okay,I suggest you act like you know nothing and wait to be astonished "
Finally after ten years of waiting desperately,of loving him desperately,it was happening no more doubts,no more watching him grow distant,he chose her,her.
"Finally I am going to be a wife within after ten years, yippee"
Her best friend looked at her irritably, "that is no proud thing to say are you hearing yourself? After ten years and you think you are making sense"
Selena pouted, "oh common,I know I know you hater that fact but the fact that I would soon get married makes me so excited finally I can show that by conniving step sister that I got engaged before she could ever"
"Fine, I will give that idiot the benefit of doubt"
"Don't call my soon to be husband and idiot,we are in love here please"
"Shut up,till he put that ring on your finger,he is still an idiot"
Selena giggled excitedly,she rose up from bed to have her bathe,Jake has been the best she could ever have,he loved her so much.
While in the bathroom,she heard her bestfriend shout, "Selena, dress up we have to go out and celebrate"
"Where should we go?"
"The bar obviously"
"Olivia, I am definitely not doing that with you"Selene glared at her.
"Please just for the last time, follow me I beg of you"
"Fine but at least let me get the ring"Selena let out a sigh of frustration.
A notification came in her phone,she picked it up and checked it, "meet me at the restaurant five pm"
"Oh my gosh, Olivia he just texted me to meet him, it's 4:00pm now I am so excited,how do I look?"
"You look stunning,now chop chop go"
"Okay"she smiled and waited for the time to clock 4:30pm,she packed up her jeweleries and wore a simple stud earring, dropping her hair down.
She was ready.
"And is Jake not meant to come and pick you?"
"Hmm I thought of it but he might be busy ,I don't want to bother him"
"No man is too busy for you Selena"
"Please stop it Olivia,you already have some irks with him, can't you support me this once?"
"Fine"
Going outside and turning on the engine of her car,she smiled widely, ensuring her white floral dress and brunette hair was perfect,her lipgloss check too.
She drove off to the restaurant where they always had dinner,most times she was always the one planning dinner dates but for the first time he planned a date with her making her excited.
She parked her small Camry car and stepped out of it with her golden high heels,she looked at him from the transparent glass of the restaurant and waved excitedly rushing in to meet him and settling down on the chair.
"Jake how are you?"Selena could not stop smiling at the thought of him marrying her, he didn't respond to her question and held her hand, "I have an important information to tell you"
"Okay what is it?"
"Will you marry me"
Oh boy it was a dream come true.
That was what she wanted to hear but he said otherwise.
"I need some money for some business meetings please lend me 2000 USD"
He exhaled heavily, "babe you know how much this means to me. I have been struggling to get this deal through without it...I don't know, it's feel like everything,I am working for is falling apart,but you believe in me don't you,you will support me support us?"
Selena looked at him confused,where was the ring? "What do you want to use it for Jake,you know I don't have enough with me,I only have 500 USD right now,no money to pay the rent"
"But you can accept that job offer and be able to give me the money right?"
Her once bright eyes deamed, "I know,I know but that Job is an acting job and from the reviews I heard,inorder to get to the top you have to be a sex worker and I don't want to put my body on display and get sexually harassed just for money"
"Please Selena,I need the money,I promise the moment you get it,I will rush to come take you away"
He paused before speaking, "you must know I love you very much,I would not imagine a life without you but I need this"
Selena was confused,or did Olivia see wrong? He did not propose to her but instead asked her for money.
"Fine I will accept the job offer" his eyes gleamed with happiness as he rose to hug her and kiss her, "thank you so much Selena"
She even paid for their bills for the rest of the night,she retired home with tears watering her eyes.
"You said what?"
"I will accept the job offer,I need to help me Olivia he is my boyfriend"
"I knew it I knew you were dumb but insane? Hell no,listen to me Selena you will not accept the job offer nor give him any money,you already supported him with 10000usd in the past, that's enough"
"Please stop it Olivia you are just hating on me and being jealous for no reason,it's my relationship not yours"
Her best friend widened her eyes in shock and laughed, "jealous for a guy that doesn't even give you the bare minimum I am sure he bought that ring for another girl"
"STOP IT! Olivia I can tolerate anything but not the fact that you accuse him of cheating"
"Really? Selena? Really? So you have lost your sanity for a guy that I am now sure doesn't even love you"
"If you have nothing else to say, I will leave the house for you"
"Selena be reasonable with me here,ever since we became roommates I have always had your best interest"
"You are just jealous and I am going to prove it to you that Jake loves me"
