No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Dustin's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he could no longer maintain his composed facade, his grip on my hand gradually loosened.

"Do you look down on me even more now?" His voice was low and heavy.

"Back when it was between you and Conrad, I chose him not because I looked down on you but because he set my heart racing. And now, Dustin, what you've done has truly disappointed me," I spoke my truth.

"But do you know why I did it?" he asked softly.

I let out a mocking laugh. "Dustin, you seemed so sure of yourself when you left four years ago. Why do you seem more confused as time passes?"

From the moment I started my relationship with Conrad four years ago, Dustin and I were set to be nothing more than friends, even if Conrad and I parted ways.

"Felicia, you've loved Rad for ten years, and so have I," his words made my heart tremble.

This trembling wasn't out of being moved, but it reminded me of my past.

Loving someone is hard, and unrequited love even more so.

I could empathize, but I still made it clear to him, "I loved him for ten years because I could see a future with him. But Dustin, you knowingly walk into the darkness; that's your own folly, a bitter pill you chose to swallow."

I admit, my words were harsh, but that's just how things were.

Now, he even dared to covet everything that belonged to Conrad and kept the truth he knew hidden, all for his selfish desires.
