This is for the annoynomous reviewer. Sorry for the mix up. But these are all purely one shots. But heres a RobStr just for you. But don't stop reading this halfway. Theres a realy unexpected twist at the end^^


I couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked as she hung her head out the car window of the front passenger seat. Her auburn red hair bellowing in the wind. Her features peaceful and pleasant. A small smile in the middle of her face pointing out that she was in her own little world at the moment. But while still admiring her, a thought occurred to me.

Was she thinking about him?


It had all started months ago. She was always working at her modeling career and I was always at Wayne enterprises, trying to impress my father by showing up for the meetings and forgetting about my personnel life. I was probably the only guy in the world who saw his girlfriend once a month but I thought she wouldn't mind. After all, she had her own career to chase.

But I guess I was wrong.

One day, while on an errand for the company I bumped into Victor and Garfield, my two best buds since primary school. So I stayed for a while and did some catching up on news with them, but when I asked about Kori they both went nervous. They told me that they'd been seeing her walking around the mall with another guy apparently on a date.

At first I didn't believe them. I'd been seeing Kori for the past two years and I knew enough to know that she would never cheat on me. Or maybe it could have just been her brother something. A few days later proved me wrong.

I was walking around in the shopping mall-waiting for someone- when I saw them. She was sitting in the restaurant sharing a sundae with him completely unaware of my presence just outside. My shock quickly turned into anger as the man affectionately wiped away a smudged bit of vanilla on Kori's cheeks. But before I could react to my sudden fury, I saw him leaning down toward her.

But before I could see it happen, I turned around and ran. And all the while thinking….

How could she?!


Than earlier today, she called and asked if we could meet up and have lunch together. Even after all those days I still felt numb about what I had seen her doing but by the time I left the office to pick her up, I had made my decision.

Unsurprisingly, she wasn't her usual perky self. Sure she still looked stunningly gorgeous as she always did but her big emerald green eyes looked cold and distant.

I pretended not to notice and took her to the expensive five star restaurants I always took her to. But she could read me better than anyone and knew something was wrong. And I couldn't help but give her a tiny bit of the cold shoulder anyway.

After lunch we drove around in the car for a while in complete silence until she asked if we could go to the beach. The place where we met. The place where it all started. And know it was going to be the place where it all ends.


Even in a time like this, I had to admit that the place was magical.

I glanced at her.

She was standing beside me. Our hands just inches away from each other. Her eyes were closed and she was taking in deep soothing breaths like she always did. Opening her eyes, her lips widened into a smile and I had to bite my lips from doing the same. Her hand gently tickled the back of mine, trying to a reaction from me.

But I pulled away. I glanced at her again. I wondered why I hated myself so much for causing that sad, crestfallen look to appear on her face.

I sighed.

"Is there something you want to tell me Kori?" I asked monotonously.

Silence.

I turned round to look at her.

Hurt was apparent on her face, mixed with grief and regret. But it only confirmed my suspicion of her.

"Kori. I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. Maybe…..maybe it'd be better for us to see….other people"

The silence ensued but I stood up and walked to my car.

A second later, she followed.

I watched from my car as she made her way to her house. Her pace was slow as if she was tired of the world at the moment.

I looked up. My eyes widened.

There right in front of her house was him.

My eyes quickly darted back to Kori but the guilt on her face explained it all.

Without waiting for any other reaction from her I stepped on the gas pedal and sped off. And I didn't look back.


"I don't want to do this anymore!"

"I don't want to be the reason why!"

"Cause every time I walk out the door!"

"I don't want to take away his lifeeeeeee!"

"I don't to beeeee…. A murdere…"

I switched of the radio and collapsed exhaustedly on my couch. An empty feeling in my stomach slowly killing me on the inside.

This was wrong. She cheated on me. Shouldn't I be happy to have her out of my life? Shouldn't I feel happy to be a free man? Happy that I hadn't been fooled by her lies?

But instead this empty feeling has been making me sicker and sicker with every minute that passed. It was so damn painful.

DING DONG!

I raised an eyebrow.

Could that be her?

Without waiting to think, I jumped of the sofa and walked toward the door.

BAM!!

His fist hit my mouth before I'd opened the door slamming to the ground.

He stood in the doorway, trembling with what seemed like fury as he searched me from head to toe loathingly.

"WHA DO YOU WANT?!" I started angrily at him still crouched on the ground, rubbing my jaw .

He approached me.

"You piece of shit. You bastard. You stole her away from than you break her heart??!!" he yelled angrily.

His words confused me. What'd he mean I stole Kori away from him? He was the 'third person' in our triangle. He stole her away from me!

"STOP"

I turned to the door where Kori was standing. Rare anger and shock etched on her face.

"STOP IT XAVIER! DO NOT YOU DARE HURT RICHARD!" she screamed. I was surprised. What did she care if I got hurt?

"I have told you before. It was not his fault. It was mine" she said, glaring angrily at this 'Xavier'.

"I should have known what you meant when you agreed that we could be just friends. I was truly believed that you were capable of change. But understand this Xavier. Even if Richard will not accept me in his life as the only one I will ever love. I will never accept you into mine."

My eyes widened at every word she said. It explained everything that had happened.

"Fine. Enjoy your happiness" Xavier spat venomously as he walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Time froze for a moment as I tried to take in everything that had just happened. Kori never cheated on me. In fact, the only fault she could be blamed for was naivety.

I bowed my head in shame. How could I have been so stupid. How could I have judged her so unjustly without letting her explain.

She crouched down beside me. I expected her to slap me. Or hit me. I was the one who betrayed her.

But to my surprise, she wrapped her hands around me in an embrace. Trembling as she wept salty tears onto my chest. In shock, I didn't move but she took it as denial and started pulling her hands away from me. But before she could move, I hugged her. Tight.

And one thing was for sure.

I was never going to let her go.
