Cursed By Fate

Carl wanted to tell Laura how he felt, but he was hesitant. He didn’t want to rush things or take advantage of her vulnerable state. So, he decided to wait for the right moment to express his feelings. But as things were going, will there ever be a right moment?

One day, as they were walking in the park, Laura turned to Carl and said, “I don’t know what I would do without you. You’ve been my rock through all this.”

” It’s nothing Laura . If I don’t help you , who else would I help ?” Carl asked.

She smiled like a baby which made Carl’s heart even yearn for her the most .

” I think this is the right time for me to tell her about what I have been feeling towards her ” Carl thought to himself.

” But how will she take it?, the wrong or right way ” Carl continued in his thoughts. ” I don’t care whatever way she takes it , I’m going to tell her today ” .

” Carl , Carl ” Laura called carl who has been deep in thought twice before he heard her calling him.

” Yes , Laura ?” Carl replied.

“Are you okay ? . I just called you twice before you could hear I was calling you ” Laura said. ” What is on your mind Carl because it is obvious you are practically thinking about something” Laura confronted him.

Carl’s heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and said, “Laura, I have something important to tell you. I’ve been wanting to say this for a while now, but I didn’t want to rush things. I think I’m falling in love with you.”

Carl was expecting her to just boss him and walk away or probably land a hot slap on his cheeks, but her expression was totally different.

“What is on her mind? ” Carl asked himself.

Laura looked at him with surprise, but then a smile spread across her face. “I’ve been feeling the same way, Carl. I’m so grateful for your support and kindness. I think I might be falling in love with you too.” She said blushes and her cheeks turning red .

Laura had begun to have feelings for Carl since the first day she saw him at the bar . She should have stopped coming to the bar a very long time ago but she continued because Carl was always there and seeing his face always gives her joy .

She had never seen a man so handsome, caring, and easy-going like Carl . He was totally different from her ex- boyfriend who used to cheat on her , smoke, and sometimes beat her up .

Laura doesn’t know the kind of human Carl is on the inside but she has the conviction that he is a good guy .

So immediately he confessed his feelings towards her , she had no choice but to admit it immediately.

Carl’s heart soared. He had been hoping for this moment, and it felt amazing to share his feelings with Laura. They hugged each other tightly, and Carl knew that their relationship was meant to be.

Carl looked into Laura’s face and said ” I love you Laura” with sincerity written all over his face .

” I love you too Carl, ” Laura replied shyly.

” I promise to always stand by you and stand with you till one hundred and forty-four years of our lives.” Carl promised Laura holding her hands .

” I promise to always love you till you have no teeth in your mouth” Laura also promised .

Carl couldn’t help but smile and hold Laura’s hand so tight that he felt like he was never going to let go of the hands.

As they walked hand in hand, Carl realized that he had found his purpose in life. He was no longer just a lonely bartender in search of a living but now he has found the love of his life; he now has a partner, a confidant, and a lover. And he knew that he would do anything to make Laura happy.

On their way , Laura kept staring at the ice cream store they were passing by. ” Do you want some ice cream?” Carl asked her after noticing the way she was looking at the store like a thief who wants to steal from the store.

She nodded her head and gave him this childish look that made Carl to kiss her all round her face .

” Ha ha ha ” Laura’s facial expressions made Carl laugh.

” What’s funny Carl ?” Laura asked .

“You of course. You are funny Carl answered.

” Whatever. Just get me the ice cream Laura said.

” Ok love , let’s go get it ” Carl replied. His hands holding her by the waist.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Laura tossed her head to the back to make sure she was seeing Carl well and heard him right .

” Did you just call me love ?” Laura asked .

” Yes I did . Am I not supposed to ?’ Carl asked.

” You can but you know most guys don’t like mentioning the word love first , they want their woman to say it first ” Laura said

Carl laughed awkwardly that even the people passing by looked at him .

” When was that idea created and who created the idea ?” Carl asked still laughing.

” Nobody, I just felt that is the way it should be because my past boyfriends never told me they love me first except I express my feelings first ” Laura explained.

” Awww, I’m so sorry about that baby ” Carl said .

” It’s fine . Let’s go get the ice cream ” Laura said dragging Carl to the ice cream shop .

” Sure , let’s do just that ” Carl followed her .

They enjoyed their ice cream throughout the night and talked about their past , and what they would love to be in the future and how they want their family to be.

Carl never told her about him being a werewolf.

“How is she going to feel? will she ever be this comfortable around

me if she ever found out? I truly don’t want to destroy what we

share with such complicated news, carl thought to himself ”

Days turned into weeks, and their relationship blossomed. They went on romantic dates, explored new places, and built a life together. Carl finally felt like he belonged, and he was grateful to Laura for showing him what love and companionship truly meant.
