Hunger For Love

I was humming and dancing, moving my body to the beat. Love hadn't felt so good I thought. A pair of hands encircled my waist and my heart grew more with love as I knew it was Damien.

"Good afternoon sweetheart. What's for lunch?" I was preparing the food he loves most. He twirled me around the kitchen and I let out a bark of laughter. I was just too giddy and got like a schoolgirl once again. What more could I have wanted? I asked myself. I had the perfect man, the perfect house, and a perfect job, I mean my life is the definition of perfection.

"Honey, could you watch over the food for me? I need to quickly get to the store for milk." While cooking, I figured we ran out of milk and I needed to get some. I was so annoyed that I had to drive to the store as it was twenty minutes away. To and fro, forty minutes.

" That's not a problem sweetheart. Go get the milk. I even need some things so if you can help me get them, I'll appreciate" Damien handed me the list of things he needed and I didn't even think much about it. I quickly grabbed my car keys and made a run to the car to start my journey to the store.

While at the store pushing my basket, I was smiling like an idiot. People passing probably thought I had issues with my mental health but that wasn't so. I was so happy because, after years of trying to find Mr. Perfect even when people said I couldn't, I finally found him and my life feels so complete. The love I had in my heart for Damien grew more. The emotion of love was so strong like wildfire waiting to be quenched and as usual, Damien quenched that thirst of hunger.

I made haste to get to the house on time. I figured I could order some of the things Damien wanted so I only got that milk and rushed out. I was thankful that I didn't have to encounter traffic on my way and so I got to the house on time. Opening the door, the sitting room was filled with smoke. I quickly rushed to the kitchen as a first instinct and I saw that the food I had on fire had gotten burnt.

The whole kitchen was filled with smoke and I had a hard time trying to turn off the gas cooker due to the choking smoke. Damien was not one to forget easily. I wondered why he left the food even when I told him to watch it for me. I was so worried thinking something bad must have happened to him and with that thought, I quickly rushed upstairs.

"Damien!, Damien!" I shouted and my voice echoed through the house. I quickly rushed into the bedroom only for me to find Damien and my best friend, Jane, in a very compromising situation. On my bed. My bed! It immediately felt as if someone ripped my heart out of its ribcage and stepped on it until there was nothing on it.

"Damien!" I screamed out at him and immediately it was as if he was electrocuted as he immediately fled from Jane. Raw tears were running from my eyes as I watched my life shatter before my eyes. I had never been the lucky one to find love but alas, I thought I found the one.

Damien came into my life and crushed the remains of my heart. Jane lay on the bed and smirked as if she had won a lottery ticket. I guess she would have felt so smug as she had the opportunity to get in bed with my man. Not only did I get betrayed by my fiance of two years, but I also got betrayed by someone with whom I have been friends for ten years!

" This is not what it looks like Maria, please let me explain"

" Do not call my name with that useless mouth of yours" I shouted so loud that I was sure the neighbor would have heard my voice.

"We love each other Maria, deal with it," Jane said so smugly.

While looking for love, I forgot the fact that there was nothing like Mr. Perfect. The relationship I had with Damien was just too good to be true. I had my doubts obviously because of trust issues I had in the past but Damien showed me a new side of life. Well, I thought he did it only for him to make me have more issues with my life.

Tragic to be betrayed by the two closest people in your life. That's one trauma that can be tragic and very difficult to recover from. I feel for her

People are so in need of love that they tend to idealize it and do not pay attention to the signs. Idealizing people always brings great disappointment. Thanks for writing this story for The Ink Well, @cool08, thanks for the interactions with the other writers.

Seriously there is nothing like Mr perfect out there. No one could take this from God.
Men remain who they are and so be contented with the one you have...
