Why i hate Valentine

Love is a beautiful feeling but I don't know if what I have for Annabelle is Love. I know I feel so happy when I see her and often dream of having kids with her. She isn't perfect for she has her flaws but her good heart and unrelenting spirit make her lovable.

On the other side is Charlotte. She's beautiful and I can say she's every man's dream. I love her funny nature and alluring attitude, what she lacks in character is compensated with beauty. She is fire, she is dangerous but I don't mind playing with fire.

Luck shined its light on me when Anna said yes to me and I felt like the most fortunate man on earth. She was my everything and my happiness- maybe with the exclusion of times when I'm with Charlotte. Charlotte cast a dark cloud over my relationship with Anna. When I'm with her, I doubt my love for Anna.

The uncertainty pushed me into fantasising about dating the two. It doesn't hurt to be polygamous, does it?... This went on for a long and the weight of being involved with two ladies was dragging me down. Should I go for water that can quench my taste in the person of Anna or just go for Fire which is always lively, never is there a dull moment with Charlotte.

I spoke with friends and decided to evaluate what I love about the two ladies, I realised my Love for Charlotte was based on how beautiful she was, the curve of her waist and beautiful face was all I was into, though we flow well with each other, something was missing. There's always this feeling that she's going to leave with the next train, but her beauty was my Achilles heel. I keep on hoping for the day she will love me fully. I say fully because I have a feeling that she likes me a lot but not "that a lot".

I considered going with Anna since Charlotte isn't assured. Better to stick with someone who Loves me truly without any doubt. My decision only last as long as I'm with her, once I'm with Charlotte, I start doubting myself.

It was my mum's birthday and the two came over, I introduced them to each other though I hide the fact that I'm dating one from the other, my family welcomed the two and it didn't take long for her to endear herself to my siblings. It was right there I decided to go with Anna. After the birthday, we all went back to school and I broke the news to Charlotte that I'm no longer interested in a relationship with her, the news was greeted with a hot slap. I was glad that I'm finally free from all guilty conscience, I can now focus solely on my relationship with Anna.

With joy, I went on date with Anna, spent quality time with her, invested money and everything in the relationship. I dreamed of the day I will be standing at the altar looking at her adorably as she work to meet me. I daydream all day and it's all has Anna as the main cast, I dreamt of us having a beautiful daughter that will be named after the mother.

Valentine was coming and I looked forward to celebrating it with her, don't blame me, this was going to be my first real valentine with a real lover. I got gifts and planned with her friends to stage a surprise for her. I went out of my way to get things to give to my lovely Anna. I didn’t let her suspect me for I want this to be a valentine to remember for her.

A day to Val, on my way to the mall I saw Charlotte and I tried to greet her but it seems she's still hurt from the heartbreak. Need I say that she was looking so beautiful than how she was the last time I saw her. I smiled and say to myself "My Anna is beautiful all-around ". I went into the mall smiling sheepishly while I pick the things I needed.

The D-day is here, Valentine is here. I wore my white shirt and red blazer to fall in tune with the loving atmosphere being exuded by students from all faculties.

Off I go to her apartment with gifts in hand and friends following ready to capture the surprise reaction which will be apparent on her face when she sees us. I opened the door with a wide grin but what I saw shocked me... I never knew I was the one in for a surprise. Till today, I hate Valentine.
