What happened when I can't find love?

Charlie found himself on a date with the most beautiful woman in the world. His date Jessica is a girl about his age. They were sitting in a restaurant having a meal together. The place had less people, so it was quiet and a soft music was playing. He held her hands in his admiring her soft tender skin. "Gorgeous, brilliant, awesome, lovely, cute" Charlie thought. He did not notice that as he was thinking he was whispering those words. Jessica said, "Thank you Charlie that is so nice." He immediately blushed because he was very shy around her.

All that Charlie could think of that day was his girlfriend Jessica. They have recently just met and now he was so crazy about her. He brought her home in his car and then drove to his apartment. Before he got there he stopped when he saw his friend Cheryl. She was looking more beautiful than the last time he saw her. They are very good and close friends who share almost everything and they were so open to each other. He called her and gives her ride to where she was going. They talked a lot about their lives. He was surprised that she was looking at him in a different way than usual. Once he dropped her he rushed to his apartment. All that was in his mind was Jessica; her voice was still repeating itself over and over in his mind.

The next morning he was desperate to see Jessica again. He was sure he had missed her a lot even though it was just one night. He called her on her cell phone to tell her he was coming; she just said its okay.

Within an hour he was there. When he out of his car he saw Jessica. She had worn a beautiful knee length dress that showed the figure of her body and she was smiling and talking to someone. That's when he saw a guy talking to Jessica. He held her in his arms, kissed her forehead and said "you look beautiful today, what's up?" She replied, "ah nothing much, just the usual." Charlie was very angry and jealous. He couldn't believe another guy was trying to take her precious girlfriend and that she is cheating on him. He walked towards Jessica and said, "Hi." She greeted him, hanged him and gave him a kiss. Charlie was still disturbed. He was hurting inside but couldn't confront her. The other guy seemed to not mind Charlie's presence. Charlie tried to cover up his feelings and faked a smile but Jessica saw right through it and asked, "Charlie what is wrong?" Charlie replied "nothing." Jessica then said with a sense of regret "Oh, I'm sorry Charlie. This is my brother Jeff. Sorry that I didn't tell you." Charlie was relieved.

Charlie got a call from his room mate Christopher and he said "Hey Charlie, I got some very important information about your girlfriend Jessica that I have to tell you. I just heard that recently she was caught making love with her brother at their home, their parents were so embarrassed but Jessica was proud of it. No one yet knows if Jessica and her brother are still in love but Charlie be careful, you might be walking right into a trap. I'm leaving for the weekend and will be back on Monday, good luck Charlie." The call ended.

Charlie's fingers were shaking as he couldn't believe what he just heard but it leaves him with no choice but to believe. Jessica said "What's wrong Charlie?" she had a troubled face and seems to be worried about him. Charlie replied "How could you. After I loved you and trusted you why didn't you tell me Jessica? How could you and your brother do such a thing?" Jessica smiled "oh you found out that's nice but too bad you and I didn't last that long. I'm a paper chaser boy and this here is my only love. Let's go Jeff." Jessica and Jeff hugged each other and slowly walked away. Charlie was so heart broken he couldn't even think straight. Jessica's last words pierced through his heart like a knife cutting with no resistance at all. He got on his car and drove back to his apartment.

Once he was there he cried and cried until he fell fast asleep. When he woke up he took his phone and browsed for a friend's contact to call. He called Cheryl and told her what happened. She told him she was coming over right away. Charlie told her he was never found love in his life that worked out for more that a week. Every time he thinks he has found the one, soon he finds out it's all just a game. He told her that this was not the first time it happened; it is actually the fifth time. Cheryl looked at him with a sorry in his face.

Then Charlie said "I tried dating all kind of girls but none of them worked out." Charlie had a concerned look in his face as he continued talking to Cheryl "oh no, how could I have missed it when it's right in front of me. I have tried all the girls except," there was a brief pause. Charlie looked at Cheryl and said "Cheryl, I love you."
