Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“Okay,” Debbie responded. but she found Colleen strange.

When they moved to the safe passage, Colleen stopped walking and reminded her, “Debbie, you don’t have to get angry with Carlos because of Megan. That will save you unnecessary stress.”

“Colleen, what are you trying to tell me? I don’t understand.”

Colleen Laughed and said, “Right. I was so anxious I forgot that you had only seen Megan a few times.”

Then she lowered her voice and said to Debbie, “I don’t know what that girl is up to. You know what? Wesley’s girlfriend, well, sort of girlfriend, got engaged to someone else, mostly because of her.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Debbie was shocked by the news. She knew Colleen was talking about

Megan.

“Afterwards, Curtis and I argued a couple of times too. All because of her.

I don’t mean to talk about her behind her back, but she’s too manipulative. You never know what she is thinking. Anyway, be careful.

Don’t get into disagreements with Carlos over her. Otherwise, you will only give her what she wants. Okay?”

Finally, Debbie understood what she meant.

“If she is so awful, why can’t the four of them see it?” It struck her as odd that a whole four men still doted on Megan, even with full knowledge of her manipulation. Were they blind?

“They are men. Only women can see through other women’s deep buried dark thoughts. In their eyes, Megan is an innocent, adorable girl. An angel. They never think badly of her. Nor do they believe that she will stir up things among us,” said Colleen, shrugging with resignation.

If what she said was true, then Megan was really a horrible person.

“I wonder what she is up to,” Debbie said honestly.

“Who knows? Sometimes she acts as if she likes Wesley, but she also keeps a technical distance from him. Sometimes it looks that she is into Carlos, but she never takes much initiative. But Damon and Curtis are almost old enough to be her father. She is unlikely to set her mind on them.”

Debbie felt tired. Tired of trying to figure out what was on Megan’s mind.

“Now is not a convenient time to talk. I will invite you to tea some other time. Think about what I just told you. Don’t say a word to those four. Or else, they will think that we are scheming against their innocent, adorable Little Megan,” Colleen cautioned. Her last remark was full of irony.

“Ah, it feels great to finally get these words out of my chest. I have been dying to talk to someone, but there was no one. And now I can talk to you. Debbie, women know women the best. Between you, me, and

Megan, you are the most innocent, adorable soul. I’d fancy having you for a friend, just to enjoy your polite company over a cup of tea, or even on a shopping spree.”

Debbie was surprised by Colleen’s comments. ‘I’m innocent? And adorable?’ “Colleen, you can’t be more wrong. Anybody can be innocent but me.”

“Okay, let’s go back. And one more thing, you’re really special to

Carlos. Cherish what you have,” said a visibly amused Colleen, to

Debbie’s surprise. When she first met her, Colleen was such an elegant socialite diva; Debbie’s memory flashed back to how the girl had dazzled at Megan’s birthday party-a hot cougar on the dance floor,

Colleen was quite a name. But today, she was so approachable and witty.
