Ian's Pov

In the last few days, my mourning routine changed. As soon as I wake up, I went online to discover Rose's new updates. Everything was normal, a lovey dovey quote on facebook were she tagged Jacob, few tweets on twitter and I guess a new pic on Instagram. Yet the picture wasn't so usual. The picture made my heart race painfully for a reason. I didn't know if it is because of the first couple or because of the second.

Rose's new Instagram picture was of her, Jacob, Maya and another guy, Nicholas, I guess.Rose was sitting pretty close to Jacob and he was smiling down at her and she returned the same loving smile. Then there was Maya in the background standing with Nicholas. They were standing close to each other and their eyes were twinkling in happiness. His hand rested on her upper arm and her cheeks looked rosier than normal. She was blushing. He made her blush. Rose posted the pic with hashtags welcoming Nicholas to the group and saying that he fitted right in. 

My eyes kept on studying both woman then both men and anger rose in me. I knew that I will always be jealous over Rose but something ticked in me while I saw Maya with Nickolas. I don't know why but for the slightest moment I wished to be there , in his place. I wanted to be the cause of Maya's blush. I made her blush before and that was surprisingly rewarding. I felt happy when her cheeks painted in a deep shade of pink. I tried to shake those images away but they kept on haunting me. Maybe I miss Maya, after all I considered her as a friend and I have not seen her for the past two weeks.

Without thinking of what I am going to say or do, I just picked up the phone and dialed Maya's number. I don't know if she is going to pickup, hangup or let it go to her voicemail. My heart raced loudly as the beeps echoed in my ears and I suddenly became so self-conscious. Maya can reject my calls after all, I tricked her, played her, used her and forcefully kissed her...

"Hello?" a manly voice questioned and I froze. My blood started to unreasonably boil inside me as I heard him repeat his greetings over and over again. Why is he allowed to answer her calls? Why is she with him, when it is only eight in the morning? Are they a couple? Did he sleep with her?

"Where is Maya?" I sounded angry and mad but I didn't care anymore. Maybe I am trying to protect Maya from another heart break...Nicolas doesn't deserve her she is way too pure for him.  

"Wait for a second." he informed me and continued to yell "Yaya, someone is calling you!" well if I wasn't irritated back then now I am surly 

"Hey." her soothing voice reached my ears and I for a reason sighed in relief 

"May." I uttered and the words literally failed me after so and I was left with a blank mind, why did I call her again?

"Ian? how are you?" she politely asked but her tone showed that she was alert and that my call was unexpected 

"Good, how about you?" I questioned her back 

"Great actually." she replied with an enthusiastic tone 

"How is the old job treating you?" I asked but in reality I wanted to know how Nicholas was treating her and what is the nature of their relationship

"Well Nicholas became the CEO earlier than expected and since we became close, my old job became more fun." She sounded cheerful and I heard her giggle at something Nicholas did and that made my blood boil. I hate that man with a passion now. Don't ask me why because I don't clearly know but all that matters is that I hate him.

"cool." I replied shortly while trying to keep my tone neutral

"Did you need something?" Maya questioned me and I knew that her attention was not drawn to me but to the man who made her giggle 

"No, I just wanted to check on you. We are friends you know?" I lamely argued but deep down this conversation kept on paining me more and more 

"Yeah sure and thanks." Maya replied with a static tone 

"Are you going to Jacob and Rose's party this weekend?" I questioned knowing the answer for sure.

"Yeah and Nick and I are helping them preparing for it. What about you?" she happily  informed me 

"I am coming too." I informed back and Maya stayed silent for two or three moments after that

"You have no hidden motives, right? You are not going to flirt with Rose and cause problems between her and Jacob right?" she asked in a hush with a blaming tone

"I don't." I promised and found myself caring about her opinion more than my plan, what is wrong with me?

"I hope so." she replied while doubt filled her tone but who could blame her

"May I am sorry for using you..." I repeated my apologies again hoping that she will forgive me

"It is okay." she answered back 

"Can we go out for breakfast or lunch?" I asked her and the idea of seeing her made me smile 

"I can't. Nick already planned our day off. Maybe next time?" She replied and I found myself seeing red again

"Are you together?" the words skipped my mouth before I can think of them

"No Nick and I are not together ." she simply replied but the man who is sitting next to her kept on yelling "Maybe soon, you will never know." 

"Call me when you have some free time and I will see you at the party." I said and ended the call as she said bye.

For the rest of the day, I felt sick. I had no temperature whatsoever. I had no organ paining me more than others it was just an overwhelming pain and a feeling of sickness. I felt tired and had no will to go to the company. This is clearly a first, I never paid a girl so much attention. Attention so intense that it tortured me. I felt my heart ripping but the question that kept on replaying and echoing in my mind was : for which girl am I being this gloomy and sick? Am I suffering because of my first old love "Rose" or for the girl that I never noticed... the girl that is flipping my world around "Maya"?
