Mess With Love

Vincent broke Alice’s heart in more ways than one. He became distant and started giving her a cold shoulder and pushing her away. He promised to be with her, and he told her once she was the only girl for him as he was going to be the only boy for her, but he broke his promise.All the progress Alice thought she had made with him was useless. The time they spent together in the past year was all for nothing. The girls started showing up at the house and left crying the next day the same way she cried daily whenever he brought a girl home. She blamed her age. Maybe when she gets to eighteen in a few months? Vincent would see her as the mature girl who can be girlfriend material.Alice still chose him and ran after him. Vincent was still the same boy who used to give her piggyback rides and chased her on the playgrounds. He is the same boy who used to come running to the cottage whenever he got a chocolate bar so they could share, regardless of the time. He was the same boy she has spen

“O.M.G. I’m going to sex you up, babe.” Megan screeched over the phone.“Meg will call you back,” Alice added and ended the call quickly. Her eyes bugged out, horrified, as she fumbled to save her phone, which she couldn’t hold in time from hitting the floor. She kneeled down to pick it up, her heart beating. She didn't know how much of her conversation Vincent had heard. If he did, Alice had decided as she grabbed her phone and got up that she would not care what he heard."Are you spying on me?" Alice straightened her spine and looked at Vincent. “We have a nine-year-old in this house who doesn’t need to hear your disgusting calls.” Vincent unclenched his fist as he stared at Alice. He ran his fingers ov

“When did you have time to go dancing with Simon?” Megan gushed, nodding her head in approval."Keep your voice down." Alice sighed. For someone who had told her earlier to count down from five, so Simon won't run away from her. Megan was doing the opposite of her advice."Well, don't keep me waiting.""Last night." Alice whispered.“You went dancing last night?” she screamed again.“Meg, people are staring again,” Alice looked over and her eyes landed on Simon. She was sure anytime now he was going to tell his friends to leave and it will all be her friend's fault. Simon winked at Alice. She smiled at him as she tucked her hair behind her ears, blushing.“What was that?” Megan asked with a questioning look. "Is he coming over here?” “No, but don’t look.”The opposite happened. Megan looked, and Alice was embarrassed. She had to grab her attention before she did something that embarrassed her more. Before Alice could say anything. Her phone buzzed, and her mood changed because Vincen

Simon was trying to enjoy spending more time with Alice, but ever since Vincent showed up with Katy, it was near to impossible for him to relax. It was alright a couple of times when Katy came to ask Alice to have a ride, but after the sixth time Simon was not pleased. This is not how he planned things. He wanted to spend the day with her uninterrupted. Coming to the park. Going to grab a bite. Later go for a walk so he could ask her to be his girlfriend. In that specific order. Now his brain was distorted because Vincent was giving him a bad vibe. The more time he was alone with him, the more he felt he might be at the park to sabotage his plan. He was suspecting foul play.Simon could see through Vincent. When he and Alice had gone on the Ferris wheel, he caught Vincent looking around. He was holding Katy in his hand and there was no reason other than Alice that he would search all over in the crowd. Simon tapped his foot as he waited for Alice to come back. He was feeling uncomfo

It wasn’t raining when Simon got home. All the way inside, he whistled. Humming to an unknown tune in his head. He took off his jacket and shoes and left them in the hall. Hung his keys on the wall and walked to the fireplace and threw more firewood.His whistling got louder, and he bobbed his head. His mind was filled with Alice. Everything about her made him smile. He didn’t mind that she didn’t answer his question and nervously wanted to leave. The experience was foreign to the both of them and he wanted to do it again.He wasn’t jealous of Vincent after the time they spent together. Simon liked Alice’s honesty. He ran up the stairs and grabbed the shirt Alice had on earlier. When she wanted to throw it in the washing machine, he snatched it away. He hummed and ripped off the shirt he had and put on the one Alice had worn. It re
