Buried Memories

My mind was completely in utter silence. I couldn't take a grasp of the situation while sitting down—— pinned down by the vexing woman. How did it came to this?

I know that I am innocent but things like this only makes people suspicious. Just imagine, you went to the washroom for few minutes and when you came back, you see your husband is embracing other woman in front of you.

Anyone would be mad.

" Oh Stella you came back? Actually I was also going to the washroom. But I slipped and thankfully your husband caught me on the right moment. "

Just how much someone can lie? This is only bullshit! Anyone can see the way you are literally sitting all over my body, as if I am your property or the chair perhaps.

" Oh. Umm yeah it's good that he caught you." Vanessa got up from me and went to sit on her chair. In that time the waiter came carrying our desserts. Seriously I wanna go home as soon as possible. Being here, under the same roof with that bitch makes me suffocate.

" Great! The desserts are here." Vanessa said looking at the waiter. Stella sat down beside me. I was sweating. I was so anxious to clear out everything with her. My mind kept on thinking why did Stella reacted calmly after seeing me like that. Did she really believed Vanessa? Come on! She can't be this dumb.

Finally the painful, sorrowful and most importantly the regretful dinner was over. Vanessa left on her own since she had brought her car.

I started driving the car. The road wasn't very crowded. It was late in the night.

" Stella I swear I didn't grabbed her. In fact she was the one who threw her body at me-"

" I know."

" And she didn't even slipped— wait what? You know?" I asked her being dumbfounded.

" I already figured it out that Vanessa did something. I never doubted you Theo."

" Vanessa told me that she doesn't like you. I don't understand. If you guys aren't on good terms then why bother meeting up ?"

" Vanessa and I were good friends for some times until that happened." She let out a deep sigh while facing down her thighs.

" What happened?"

" I'll tell you when we reach home."

" I was super scared. I thought you would misunderstand the whole situation. But now I kinda feel little bit disappointed, to be honest. I mean you kinda look cute when you are jealous." I tried to ease up the mood between us. She was definitely lost into her own thoughts.

" I have already made up my mind." She gave me a smile and continued " Remember what Ray said? There are tons of girls who will try to get close with you in future. There will be more girls like Megan and Vanessa. Unless you decide to leave me, I won't get panicked over these home wreckers. I will keep my faith in you." With confidence she replied back. I felt relieved hearing it.

" I'm never leaving you. After all you're one of a kind. And excuse me, but I'm not the only one who attracts home wreckers, you too have lots of guys waiting for a chance to get closer with you." I replied with a smirk.

"Don't be so stupid."

" I'm serious!"

" Fine, fine. Anyway I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I knew she would pull up a stunt like that, still I decided to go there with you."

" Honey, it's fine." I picked up her hand, grabbing it lightly with mine and placed a kiss on it.

We reached home. In the mean time, I was getting impatient wondering what happened with Vanessa. Stella said they were friends then what made them broke their friendship?

We had changed our clothes. Stella was looking upset and lifeless. She was never a fan of telling people about her own problems. It is hard for her to open up even though if it's me.

" Relax. Take a deep breath and don't get panicked. I'm here to listen." I tried to cheer her up. She was already stressing a lot.

" Vanessa and I were friends in my high school years. She was a good person when I first started talking with her. But things went bad when the guy she had crush on, asked me out on a date. I knew she liked the guy and I rejected him instantly.

Although Vanessa stopped talking with me. Instead she was spreading bad rumours about me. Thankfully, after few days she shifted somewhere else. As she left, the rumours about me also faded away. Until now, I had no connection with her. She probably tried to make me feel uncomfortable and jealous. She still has grudges over me where else I have forgiven her long time ago. I just don't understand what was my fault in all this?"

" Honestly, you had done nothing wrong. You can't control people, who likes you and who doesn't. I think it's so childish to blame you for something you never did! If Vanessa ever thought of you as a friend, then she should have at least believed you. Rather than blaming you for the whole thing."

" You know, it was Vanessa who showed me how to dress stylishly and do my makeup. Before that I was a plain girl. I was so happy that she was putting all the efforts to make me look cool. Maybe she regrets it now. When she left the school,I also went back to my usual self."

" Do you have any other thing that may have been bothering you or hurting you for a long time? Just remember I'm always here to listen to your problems. I'm no god but I will try my best to solve your problems."

" I always try to forget the bad things. I mean, what's done, is done. Thinking about it won't change the past. So, I try to bury it in my memories——— unless someone pokes into it."

" Even a kid acts mature than Vanessa. Seriously don't stress about her. She's just a dumb bitch who has grudges over a simple thing. Let's not talk further on that matter. We won't be seeing her again, I assure you."

" Yeah. I have blocked her number too. I only went today because I thought she might have forgotten about that incident. I guess I'm no less dumber than her."

" Yes. You are dumb and so am I."

" Is that a compliment?"

" If that's what you think then yes. Let's go to sleep honey, it's been an exhausting day."

We leaned forward to kiss each other. Our bodies warped together like high ocean waves. The warmth of her body made me sooth my mind.
