The Wrong Girl

"Devlin, i am someone's fiancee and soon to be married. I appreciate your feelings, i really do, but i love my man. I cannot waste all that i have built with him just to test something that I am not even sure of." Sharleen said in a weak voice. "Are you telling me you don't feel this?" he pointed at himself then at her. "Can't you let me fight for you?"

Or will he just swallow his feelings and be happy for his best friend?Devlin sighed in the cab exhausted waiting patiently to reach his destination.

He really craved a warm bath and a decent sleep at that moment but knowing that his mother was at home, he would probably hit the sack after midnight or even get little to no sleep because of her ambiguous stories and curious questions. He missed his mum a lot. They had talked on the phone occasionally since he knew his mom was lonely after his dad passed away seven years ago. But he had to work.
