Keerah's POV,
"shit happens sometimes," Eric said, and I remained silent, thinking about what could have caused them to break up, even though I know he was probably head over heels for her when they dated because even now I feel he still loves her from the way he was talking about her.
"You still love her, don't you, that's the reason why you said you couldn't fall in love with me right"? I uttered in a soft voice, more in a statement like than a question, but Eric remained quiet.
His silence held more answers than his words would ever tell, and that made me feel like shit.
Even though I didn't want to admit to myself, a huge part of me was silently hoping that Eric would fall in love with me, but seeing how much he still loves his Ex, I don't think I stand a chance I'm just going to remain an island fling to him.
