Chapter 82 - Unrequited Love



It had always been a one sided love_ crush, until she gathered up courage to tell him and that became her greatest undoing.

They went to the same high school, and she had admired him from back then. She was pretty, but she never had a boyfriend because she was waiting for him. She was waiting for him to see her.

It been seven years since she started liking Greg and she had worshipped the path he walked on all these years. 

They weren\'t friends in school, but they became acquainted after he graduated from university as a surgeon, during one party held by the elites in the business world. His father was the president of a five-star hotel and he was the second son.

That day, he had come to the gala with his father and met Diana, who came with her father Charles.

When he saw her, he recognized her and they chatted as though they had known for long. After the party, they exchanged numbers.

Greg waved at her as he left with his father, but what he didn\'t know was that she had not slept a second that night. Her eyes stared at her ceiling as an uncontrollable joy washed through her. She couldn\'t even blink, afraid that if she did, it would all become a dream and she would wake up to reality.

She had watched him in the dark for years, and this was the first time they had spoken so casually. They were together for only a few hours, but Diana felt as though she had known him all her life. That night, she stared at his number in her phone, her heart fluttering.

She waited for days for his call, but it did not come. Every day, she would stare at her phone blankly, resisting the urge to call him. Days turned into weeks, and weeks to months, and when she couldn\'t take it anymore, she dialed his number.

Her heart slammed against her chest as she waited for him to pick. She was sweating profusely as she clung onto the hem of her dress for support. After some rings, the call connected.

\'\'Hello? \'\'

She could still remember how his voice sounded. It was the sweetest voice she had ever heard, and for a split second, her tongue tied, she couldn\'t even bring herself to reply to him.

He called again, and she took in a deep breath and forced the words through her lips;

\'\'Hey, it\'s me, Diana… \'\'

She could remember how nervous she was. Beads of sweat gathered up her forehead as she pulled her hair, waiting for his reply.

\'\'Diana… \'\'

His voice sounded as though he did not remember her, and her excitement dwindled drastically. He must have not saved her number…

She was here, waiting day and night for him to call her and she didn\'t know he did not save her number to begin with.

She drew in a deep breath as she tried to control her emotions;

\'\'Diana from high school? \'\'

He asked, inquisitively, and she nodded. Realizing that he wasn\'t there with her, she voiced out a shaky \'Yes\'.

\'\'Oh, my bad, I\'m sorry I forgot, don\'t mind my carelessness.

\'\'No, not to worry, it\'s ok. \'\'

\'\'How are you? Sorry I didn\'t call after that day, I had a very busy schedule.\'\'

\'\' I understand, you don\'t have to keep apologizing. I just thought of you today and checked up on you. \'\'

She lied. She had practically thought about him every single second since that day, if that was possible.

\'\'Oh, that\'s very thoughtful of you, Diana. Say, are you busy tomorrow, we could go out for lunch if you don\'t mind. \'\'

Diana literally felt the world beneath her feet spinning;

Did he just ask to take her out?

Does he know how many years she had patiently waited for him to ask her something like this?

Her heart slammed against her chest as she tried to stable herself;

\'\'hey, are you there? \'\'

Greg asked again and without wasting another second, she replied, before he would change his mind and take back his words.

\'\'Yeah, I\'ll love to. \'\'

\'\'Okay, send me your address, I\'ll pick you up by 1 pm, is that okay with you? \'\'

\'\'Yeah, definitely! \'\'

\'\'Okay, see you tomorrow then. \'\'

\'\'Yeah; \'\'

Diana held her phone to her ear even after the call ended, relishing the moment. She had a movie shoot the next day but at that moment, she didn\'t care about that, she was going out with Greg, she could sacrifice the world for this!

Her heart couldn\'t stop racing as she thought of what to wear, whether or not he loved girls with makeup. She couldn\'t even sleep that night.

The next day, she got dressed by 11am and waited all the way till 2pm, because he didn\'t come on time.

She was getting anxious but when she saw him step out of his car, her worries disappeared instantly, and a smile washed her lips.

He treated her well, like a queen. He made her feel wanted; he brightened up her days with his jokes and laughter. She thought he wanted her too, and clouded by her emotions, she confessed to him.

That night was her worst nightmare, she wished she had not told him anything, then she could continue loving him from the shadows, but it was not possible anymore, she had confessed to him, and lost the right to even be a friend.

Her heart slammed against her ribs as she waited for his reply. He didn\'t know how much courage she garnered to tell him how much she had loved him. Her hands fidgeted under the table as she struggled to remain calm.

There was almost a minute silence between them before Greg spoke up;

\'\'Diana… I never knew you loved me for so long, and I\'m so sorry for sending you the wrong signals. Really, I treat all women nicely, I\'m sorry that you had mistaken my gentlemanliness for love. I care about you, Diana; I would be lying if after these few weeks we\'ve been friends, I say I don\'t. But Diana, my heart belongs to someone else… \'\'
