Never Fall In Love (Part 3)

By Erica Storm

Does Lucas Blandford have a fool proof method to guard against Sherrie breaking his heart? Lucas couldn’t reconcile the pain he felt when his first girlfriend Elaine left him for his friend Patrick, and he has been messed up ever since. He declared that he would never fall in love again, but when he meets the impressionable eighteen year old Sherrie, he realizes that she is all he has ever wanted, and he knows she will never hurt him. But he can’t give up the woman who hurt him the most. One terrible mistake with Sherrie, causes her to turn cold on him.

Sherrie Charles swears she will never fall in love again, because she made the mistake of giving herself to exceedingly rich and handsome, self-absorbed womanizing Lucas Blandford, who broke her heart. She vows to carry on with her life and never love the way she had loved Lucas. When she meets a handsome stranger in a coffee shop, she’s certain that she will never love him because she is still in love with Lucas. So breaking hearts will be a cinch for her, or will it?

Chapter 1: Sherrie

I woke the next morning with a headache. It’s Saturday. I stumbled into Summer’s kitchen and she has everything you could imagine in the cupboard. Some stuff I’ve never heard of, but that’s to be expected. I reach in back and pull out a can. It says quails’ eggs on the can. I wouldn’t eat that and what’s a quail anyway? Shelves on shelves of mystery food and no coffee.

I let out a large breath and drop my head.

This headache could be my time of the month I rationalize. My hands are on both sides of my head holding my pulsating temple. When is this ever going to stop?

Lucas crosses my mind because the pain in my head isn’t enough to lessen the pain I’m feeling inside. I’m trying to wrap my head around his insensitive behavior. Was he so drunk that he didn’t realize that he was holding on to Elaine and not me?

What gave her the right to dismiss me like I was nothing to him? But she didn’t know that I was involved with him, or did she? And instead of answering her and pushing my way inside the car, I sat back like an eighteen year old, and let her have the man I want. I should have said something. I should have said, I’m going home with him and take care of him. Don’t you have a man that’s waiting for you?

I should have told her to, Fuck off and bite me. Summer would have said that in no uncertain terms if this had happened to her. But I just stood there looking over at the car driving away, leaving with Lucas lying in Elaine’s lap, smelling the fragrance of her body, instead of mine.  

It would have been bold if I had climbed into the car with Lucas, but I didn’t, and saying I should have, or I could have, is like saying, If people had wings, they could fly. But they don’t have wings, you jerk, I mumble into the air. Stop thinking about what you should have done and do something before it’s too late," I murmur as if I’m insane. 

Another throbbing pain hit my head and I’m thinking coffee or get off it. Not today.

I search in a jar on the counter. I look in a box that says coffee and it’s empty.  

Who ever heard of not having coffee, I murmur. Then I remember, she’s on the road with that play. I can’t think of its name. Something like a Virgin. Yes I think that’s it. And now I’m reminded that I’m no longer one and my leverage with Lucas is over. Maybe I can do something else that will have him coming back to me without me giving up any ground.

I know. He likes head. What the fuck are you thinking? You think like an eighteen year old, can’t you grow up and stop your shit? Don’t you know that a man doesn’t marry a woman just for sex alone?

It helps when the relationship is new and hot and heavy. Now I’m resorting
