Frei:
wow' that's superb.... making something out of nothing.... the sky is just a stepping stone... keep up the good work ma'am!

Thank you

Frei:
you didn't get my question. I mean this story' what inspired you in writing a story like this?

I had been going through my cousin's playlist four years ago when i heard a particular song that was heart wrecking. I begged her to send it to me but she refused. She told me it was her friend's ex boyfriend song, which she didn't want to circulate. Her friend wasn't even aware that she had taken the song, when i asked why, she told me what had happened which was exactly what had inspired me to write this four years ago

TremaineGold:
Nice, i am loving you already. You are beautiful dear,keep doing what you are good at. I read Bound to fail and i think you are pretty good. I love how you write too, feels like i am in your story

Thank you, hope you enjoy the story.

Frei:

I promised to update today

Frei:
wow! I was a bit angry when he left One Direction ( my favourite band) but listening to Pillow Talk, damn!!!! Currently on my fav playlist!!

As much as i love one direction, i think Zayn is better alone, pillowtalk is proof of that.

Frei:

Blessing stared at Nathalie in shock. "You mean you just let him off the hook like that?, you have known this guy for ninteen  years which is definitely not beans. Keep using the soft hand for this guy and he would end up dumping you. Guys likes fresh things, you are not getting any younger and you wont wait for him forever. You are twenty nine years old for crying out loud!" She said exasperated.
Nathalie and her friends were hanging out and she had opened up to them.
"Blessing would you let her be?, do you think rushing Xavier would get the relationship anywhere?, it is clear that they need time" Sophie said frowning slightly.
"He might just be using her" Blessing countered. All Nathalie could do was to sit and watch her friends battling their heads off for her.
For the rest of that day Nathalie kept pondering.
Could it be true?
Could he be using her after all this years, it made little sense. Fifteen years of friendship, four years of dating, which made ninteen years of knowing Xavier and nothing to show for it.
Nathalie buried her face in the pillow. She felt like a confused teenager again, felt like picking the flowers and asking if he loved her. She knew he once loved her, but did he still love her, did he?

Xavier laughed at the joke Peter made "my girlfriend could be dramatic but i still love her, which i hope she doesn't doubt"
Peter chuckled, staring at his friend with mock pity.
"Girls are girls, they always doubt, they always have trust issues, it runs in their blood" Peter said with a smirk, and all Xavier could do was to hope that his case was different, that his girlfriend didn't doubt his love for her.
After leaving Peter's, he went to Nathalie's house. He had asked her to move in with him, but for some reason unknown to him, she had said no.
Pressing the doorbell for the sixth time and still no answer. He called Nathalie's line, and after five minutes, she flung the door open.
"What do you want?" She asked rudely and Xavier stared at her in shock. Not because of the way she spoke to him, but of the way she looked. Her hair was a mess unlike the always composed Nathalie. Her eyes were puffy like she had been sleeping all day. She had sleeping bags beneath her eyes and most of all, she stunk of alcohol.
"What happened?, i left you for a day and you become a hot mess" Xavier said.
Nathalie rolled her eyes "because you never called"she muttered walking towards a sofa.Xavier followed suit, closing the door behind him.
"Because i hadn't called, i was busy, what is the matter with you?"
She ignored his last question. "Busy?, why wouldn't you be, when you have every girl at your beck and call" she said angrily.
"You are way too possesive" he said smirking.
Nathalie just stared at him. What a jerk!. May be she was a tad bit too possesive, but why wouldn't she be when presently they spent most of their time quarelling. She was only being careful, she toldherself. Okay, fine, she was plain scared, scared that some other girl could snatch him any moment from now.
"I wish i knew what was going through that pretty thick skull of yours" Xavier said observing her.
Nathalie glared at him and he raised his hands up in surrender "okay i give up" he walked up to her and held her.
"Why dont we go on a vacation. I see you've been stressed a little too much lately" Xavier said softly and was happy to see a smile begining to form on her lips. A vacation was exactly what she needed, she thought.
"Yes i dont mind, but i wouldn't want to keep you from your work" she said staring up at him.
"I will take a week leave, you know i would do anything to be with you" he said and she on the other hand wanted to believe it, she really did.

Episode 36.

Days, weeks, and months passed by and Karina's baby bump began to show. Joseph on the other hand got more weaker which made Karina restless, always wanting to do something that would make her feel better. The sickness began to grow on Joseph to the extent he had to stop going to work. People were begining to notice both the expecting wife and the sick husband. Karina was scared. Joseph was dying before her eyes and she could do absolutely nothing. She was always there for him, always wanting to make him feel better, always trying to hide the sadness behind a strained smile. But Joseph was no fool, he could see right through her. During the cause of his sickness, he had grown to realize two things. First being the fact that she was sad and stressed, and second being the fact that she had never grown to love him.
One hot afternoon, Joseph laying on his bed, trying hard to breath held Karina's hand.
"I need to talk to you Karina" Joseph said quietly.
"What is the problem?"Karina asked concerned.
"I know that you are sad, that you are not happy seeing me like this, and that you dont love me" Joseph said honestly without holding back and was sad to see a tear drop from his wife's eyes, which he reached out to clean. Karina reached for his palm, placing her hand on his and pressing it to her face. She felt more tears escaping her eyes and she squeezed her eyes shut to stop more tears from dropping.
"I am sorry Joseph" she whispered.
Why did you get married to me karina?" Joseph asked quietly and Karina began to ponder for the safest reply to give him.
"Dont lie to me karina. Tell me why you married me, all i want now is an honest answer" Joseph said with a calm voice.
"Because you were my safest choice, because i knew that you would love me, that you would never hurt me. I was tired of being hurt, all my past relationships had been a failure, i was still heartbroken from my relationship with Nick and then you came along, with your nice and caring personality, and i knew that i had to keep you. When you proposed i was happy, happy because i knew that if we got married you would cherish me with your heart. I may not love you Joseph, but i care for you, i respect you" karina admitted sadly and Joseph stared into her eyes "i am willing to let you go karina" he said softly.
Karina stared at him in wide eye shock.
"I would never leave you Joseph, never!" She said with determination.
"I don't need your pity godamnit!" Joseph swore.
Karina wrose a stubborn chin "That attitude still wont make me leave" she said angrily.
"Why karina?, why wont you just leave" Joseph asked weakly.
Karina raised a finger to her lip and pretended to think "let's see, i am your wife, i am carrying your unborn child for one, and i am your friend Joseph, if that means anything to you, you cant push me Joseph, because i am going no where" she said stubbornly.
"Cant you see that i am dying?" Joseph said and karina felt her hrart break when she saw tears slipping down his eyes.
"In sickness and i health, i took that vow Joseph, and i am here to stay" Karina said kissing him.
"Thank you Karina, i love you" he said softly.
"I know" she said and he was okay with her reply.

Prolog.

The tension in the room was thick. Nathalie faked a smile, staring at the girl who was throwing herself all over Xavier, her boyfriend for four years now. Four years and nothing to show for it. No proposal, just dates upon dates that led to where? no where. Nathalie glared at Xavier who was oblivious to the fact that his friend's girlfriend was all over him, not even caring about the fact her boyfriend was sitted beside her.
" Excuse me" Nathalie said shoving her sit backwards and leaving aware of the fact that Xavier was on her trail.
"What is your problem?" he asked obviously tired.
Nathalie turned around scowling at him.
"My problem?, seriously are you asking me that?, dont you see that tramp throwing herself all over you?" Nathalie answered hotly.
Xavier sighed "So that is the reason behind your behaviour" it was more of a question than a statement.
Nathalie glared at him "Xavier, we have been together for four years, we have been bestfriends for fifteen years.I know you like i know the back of my palm, so what is holding you back?" Nathalie said softly.
Xavier frowned. It always came down to this. Marriage. He had tried a number of times to tell her he was not ready but she got the latter. He wasn't ready for this topic. Not here and definitely not now. If he were to go into marriage, he needed to think of the future. Their future, the bills, the kids. He loved her, but as painful as it was, he was not ready.
"Does it always come down to this?" he asked devastated.
Nathalie stepped forward clutching his hands in her small ones and looking up to him through glassy eyes.
"Xavier i love you so much and i dont want you taken away from me, i cant bare that pain Xavier. I am scared of loosing you" Nathalie said, her eyes already watery.
"And you wont, why cant you just believe in me?" Xavier asked softly.
"And why dont you just propose?" Nathalie countered releasing his hands and shoving him with her fists.
"What is holding you back Xavier?, who is holding you back?" the tears escaped her eyes.
"You should go home" Xavier said, clearly tired. His girlfriend was a drama queen, but that was one of the qualities he liked about her. He was brought back to reality with a slap.
"What?" Xavier asked touching his face. It stung badly. He watched her wipe her tearswith the back of her palm and was about to walk away when he clutched her hand in his grasp.
"Nathalie please" he pleaded.
She scowled at him.
"let go of me you______" she tried freeing herself from his grasp.
"Dont push me Xavier, dont!" she warned but Xavier drew her into his chest. She bursted out crying.
"I love you Nathalie. Dont forget that, i love you" he said softly, kissing her head.
"I love you too, but i am scared.I am so scared of loosing you, i cant share you with anyone. Xavier let's just get married please" she said in between tears.
"Nathalie we will. Someday but not now" he said softly.
