Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

When the time was 6 PM , I convinced myself not to care . It was just another day because it didn't mean anything to Maddox . The last time I had texted him , he told me he would come earlier , but that was two hours ago . I was standing in front of the mirror , taking my time to smooth down my dress as I thought about how that was the worst birthday I'd ever had . I couldn't even hide the sadness in my face . Just as I finished with my hair , the door opened and closed from the other room . He was finally back , but that didn't get me excited in any way .

When he walked into the bedroom , I looked back at him and my heart sank . For him , it was like it was any normal evening . He didn't even have flowers with him . " You took so long ," I said as I looked back at the mirror . He approached me and stopped right next to me as he loosened his neck tie . " I had more work to do . It couldn't wait , but hey , I'm here now . " My jaw clenched at that statement . Was that all he had to say ? He moved closer , wanting to reach for my waist . " What were you up to while I was away ? " I stepped aside before he could fully pull me in .

" Swimming , " I said flatly , moving around the room instead of looking at him . " I was with Ella and Zoey . " " Oh ? " There was amusement in his voice . " Sounds like it was fun . What else ? " " Nothing much happened after that . They both had things to do with their boyfriends . " " Boyfriends ? " he repeated . " Yeah . " I crossed my arms with a heavy sigh . " Ella and Adrian are now official . " " Good for them . Get your stuff . We're leaving . " I nodded once , trying not to feel childish for expecting more .

We left the hotel suite and as soon as we stepped into the hallway , he was on his phone , typing and scrolling . I tried to ignore it for a while , but by the time we got to the elevator , I just had to ask . " Are you still busy ? " " Mhm , " he said without looking up at me , " But I'll be done soon . " The limousine from the previous evening was waiting outside and even as he opened the door for me , he was still scrolling on his phone . We left the hotel while he was on a phone call and it went on for so long that was getting more and more irritated . How could he ruin my day like that ?

I was still complaining about it in my heart when I noticed that we had turned off the usual road and were now on a different one . 15:3 Curious , I looked over at him and spoke quietly since he was still on his phone call . " Where are we going ? " He muted the call for a moment , then smiled at me . " You'll see . " I was now filled with some hope as I realized that he was just playing tricks with me to build up to that moment . 62 5 vouchers Ten minutes later , the limousine arrived at a luxury car dealership and I was already excited even though I didn't know what to expect .

He opened the door for me and I just couldn't wipe the smile off my face . " What are we doing here ? " I asked . " Nothing , " he shrugged . I chuckled because that really sounded funny , but he glanced at me with a serious expression . " I mean it , " he said . I still didn't believe him , which was why my excitement only intensified as the seconds went by . I looked around at all the fancy cars and could see myself driving most of them , but the price tags were extremely high .

While I was still checking out a purple Porsche , which I liked the most out of everything I had seen at that dealership , a man called out to Maddox with so much respect . " Mr Aldridge , welcome ." I looked back and spotted a man dressed in a suit as he hurried towards Maddox . " Thank you ," Maddox said , then turned slightly toward me . " This is my girlfriend , Harper . " The way he called me his girlfriend did something to me . I didn't even have to dwell on how he had been playing with my feelings all day when I had already figured out that he was done with his games .

He had only been building suspense . The manager smiled at me instantly . " It's a pleasure to meet you . " He then looked back at Maddox . " How can we help you today ? " That was the moment I'd been waiting for . Maddox was going to tell me to choose whichever car I liked . I could already feel the shock , the joy and the disbelief . Instead , he said , " I'm here to buy some spare parts for my favorite car . " I held my breath with disappointment , the air immediately leaving my lungs . The manager nodded enthusiastically . " Of course . Right this way .

" And just like that , my fantasy was crushed . He held my hand as we followed the manager deeper into the dealership . I wanted to pull away , but I didn't . Glancing back at me , he said , " Are you okay ? " I forced a smile . " I'm fine ." It was ridiculous to feel disappointed because he never said anything about the gift . He never promised me anything . I'm the one who assumed that it was going to happen . 19 O I had already been so disappointed that day that I wondered if it could get any worse.

5 vouchers We were back on the road and at that point , I didn't feel like talking anymore . I mostly stared out the window while he was on his phone again , talking to someone about work . I was so over it that I just wanted to go home . Just as I thought we would turn left at the intersection , we continued straight ahead until we turned into another unfamiliar road on the right . He was still on the phone , but I asked him anyway where the chauffeur was taking us .

He muted the call for a few seconds and said , " I just need to leave the spare parts at the other house where I left my car ." I didn't even think too much of it at the time , but I was getting impatient because I just wanted to go home and not be reminded of what a horrible day that had been . We arrived at an estate I had never seen before and the details were breathtaking , yet I didn't have it in me to fully appreciate the beauty all around . The limousine stopped right in the front yard and he stepped out first to open the door for me on the other side .

I knew he was waiting for me to step out , but I just sat there with crossed arms , letting him know that I didn't want to come out . " What's wrong ? " he asked . " It's nothing , " I said . " In that case , come with me to the garage so I can take in the spare parts ." " I don't feel like going anywhere anymore . " I hoped that he would be able to tell how mad I was , but he didn't seem to care . He just insisted that I go with him . In the end , he held my hand and gently pulled me out of the limousine . I wanted to pull it away , but he held on firmly and led the way .

The order of things didn't make sense to me as we were already approaching the large front door , making me furrow my eyebrows. " Shouldn't you first get the spare parts out of the trunk ? " I asked . " Someone will handle that , " he casually said without looking at me . Then , he opened the door and brought me inside . I couldn't see anything as it was pitch black . " Can we please have the lights on ? " I said . " I can't see any- " The lights suddenly went on and there were so many familiar faces as they all cheered , " Surprise !
