My Arrogant Stepbrother 1
Page 4
That was why the evening of the next day, she did the unthinkable – she went to his house.
Emma rang the bell and waited patiently for him to open it, thinking that he should already be home. Ross opened the door after almost five minutes, dressed in a single towel and with water drops all over his torso.
“Emma,” he exclaimed. “I wasn’t expecting you.”
“I’m sorry,” she spoke to his chest, as she couldn’t make herself stop staring at it. “I wanted to speak with you. That is, if you...”
“Ross... Ross...” a female voice could be heard from the inside of the house. “Where are you baby?”
Emma looked up and saw her – blond, slender, tanned, beautiful...
“Sorry, I don’t want to interrupt you...” she muttered with a forced smile and turned to go.
“Wait... Emma...” Ross called after her, but it was too late, there was nothing he could say to make the pain disappear.
Emma ran to her car, already feeling the tears filling her eyes. She refused to let him see how much he had hurt her. “Stupid, stupid woman...” she repeated to herself all the way home. “You are so stupid.”
Ross… sex… love…
Emma always thought little of women, who dropped everything they loved and fought for their whole lives, in the feet of the first handsome devil, who said I love you. Funny, wasn’t it, for years she was convincing herself that she was the strong and confident woman she wanted to be, and now in the course of a few instances she was back to being the scared young girl, badly hurt by the man who could offer her the world.
Love is not just about tingles and electricity. It is about understanding, about letting go when you have to, even if it hurts. It’s about being imperfectly perfect for the other. It is about taking every moment and treasuring it in the kaleidoscope of memories you have. It’s about being a winner. All because you have that one person.
Love is the thing that takes all your insecurities away. Love doesn’t hurt, insecurities and loneliness do. Love is often confused with everything else. Love is the only thing that makes you feel whole again. Love comes after moments of indecision, bafflement and hurt.
They say there’s nothing like true love. All you find is betrayal and hurt on your path. Maybe you’re not looking in the right place. True love is like finding a needle in a haystack. If you’re very thorough, you’ll have it in the palm of your hands.
Those three words mean nothing if you don’t mean it. At the end of the day, you might be drained. But do know this: Love was never an easy thing to have. You have to earn it. When you in the vicinity of the one, it is worth it. When the one loves you as much as you do them, it is worth it.
At the end of the day, love might not be the easiest thing, nowhere close even. But you’ll know it was worth it.
Emma read carefully the words she had written down in her diary years ago, when she still believed that true love existed. She believed it even a few hours ago, but now she wasn’t sure anymore.
Ross took something very important to her and Emma wasn’t sure if she will be able to ever take it back.
