Loved by both

Loved by both
Sarah, Samantha, and Nancy were visiting Roselyn in her ward. All the girls were laughing at Nancy's jokes and even talking about their love lives.

"Talking about relationships, how are things with you and Damon?" Sarah asked gently.

The three of them looked at Nancy with curious stares.

"Well, we are still talking. The only problem is that both of us are always busy, and I do not want to trouble him at all."

Nancy uttered confidently while she stood by Roselyn's feet as the other two friends sat on her bedside.

"That is nice. I really wish you guys were official, you know." Sarah added dreamily.

"Uhm..."

"I know all of us were present when I suggested Damon for my friend, and trust me, it was for good intentions only. But now, I am not too sure about that decision. Getting him to fall in love isn't on my cards anymore... I am sorry, babes."

Roselyn uttered with a serious expression.

"No, Rose. Damon can't be that bad, and by the way, he also treats me like a gentleman... Which woman wouldn't appreciate that gesture from a handsome lad?" Nancy explained while the others watched in silence.

"If you say so, I am washing my hands of this. Sam and Sarah are my witnesses."

Roselyn smirked playfully.

"Really, guys, do you think he would wreck me like that? I mean, I am not that deeply into him as well. Maybe it is because I am still stuck in the idea of me being alright with Archie, as if Michelle would give him a break." Nancy complained and went to sit on the other chair.

"Hold on, so you mean to say that you are into Damon, but you still have feelings for Archie... Did I catch that right?"

Sarah narrowed her eyes at Nancy, who kept on glancing at her iPhone screen.

Sam and Rose unintentionally exchanged a glance and quickly turned their focus on Nancy.

"That is why I love you so much. You really understood my words." Nancy smiled at Sarah but frowned when Roselyn gave her a glare.

"What?"

She shot at her friend, who had her brows arched questionably.

"If you are with Damon, don't you know that he will want to be laid very soon? I don't care about the vows you both made when the bond was too strong. If you get serious, then it will lead to that. What will happen if you don't catch feelings for him... Maybe I'm too dumbfounded to understand this."

Roselyn sighed and gave up asking too many questions she also didn't decipher.

"No, you are not. That is a very valid question lingering on my mind, but let's leave Nancy to be with Damon. If he catches feelings, then it is a win for us girls."

Sarah shrugged defensively.

Sam and Nancy looked flustered at her words.

"Does that mean Damon also made a bet with his friends... Oh my... this is bad."

Samantha said in disbelief.

Nancy's expression darkened at the news.

"Oh, hell no. What does Damon get in exchange for me?" She suddenly got to her feet and asked Sarah, who was hesitating to answer more questions.

"Not in exchange for you. They are trying to see if Damon falls in love with you. If he'll prove them wrong and doesn't, then Paul will give him his Porsche."

Sarah's words stunned Nancy, leaving her speechless...

"They were ahead of us all this time."

Roselyn said with a calm expression, opening a bag of Lace chips that was on the bedside drawer.

"Shame on us for thinking they would be fooled. Anyway, Nancy, what are you going to do about this whole information?"

Samantha asked, concern crossing her face.

"I am going to act normal. Please correct me on this, guys." Nancy took a deep breath and shrugged nonchalantly.

"With all the chaos going on in my home, will I be selfish if being loved by both of the men satisfies me?"

Nancy looked up at her friends for a response.

Roselyn chowed her chips hungrily.

Samantha scratched the back of her head and darted her eyes across the space, avoiding Nancy's gaze.

Only Sarah was confidently looking at her, but secretly cursing the other two for standing back.

"We are your friends, and I would advise you to do what is in your heart. We all have different opinions. Just be sure Archie feels the same about you, though. I don't want you to get disappointed in the future."

Sarah said with a cool expression.

"Fuck it, this thing is complicated. Let me not dwell on relationships and men any longer. I will go where the air pushes me."

Sam nodded along with Nancy.

"Sam, I almost forgot, but Damon invited me to dinner at your place. Don't be surprised to see me tonight."

Sam's lips parted as she was about to respond to Nancy, but Damon's message saying he had invited Nancy to join them late popped in, and she cursed him inwardly.

Sam raised her head and forced a gentle smile at her friend.

"Whoa, are you supposed to eat these snacks?" Samantha shifted the topic and questioned Roselyn with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, these are healthy, and it is just for today. Right, Doctor Quincy?"

Roselyn playfully pouted her lips.

"The doctor has approved, Sam, but only for today. Oops, my dad's visiting hours are left with twenty minutes. Rose, I love you. I love you two girls."

Nancy blew a kiss at Rose before rushing out of the ward.

"Wow, sister-in-law, aren't you misleading her already?"

Roselyn cornered Sarah with her strict eyes, a small yawn escaping her mouth.

"No, I am not misleading her. She should just follow her heart without us being influential to her decisions. What if all this backfires... Isn't she going to blame us?"

Sarah said coolly.

Roselyn gave a gentle nod after Sarah's words dawned perfectly in her mind.

"Again, your best friend's choices are tricky. I don't know how to explain this to you and Sam, but I think Damon and Liam's brother will trouble her a lot."

Sarah lifted her chin.

Roselyn passed her a knowing look. Honestly, she even knew Sarah was being honest here. Both men have a lot on their plates.

"How so?"

Sam struggled to understand.

"Damon made a bet with her feelings as much as she did the same. Archibald is with a woman that broke him and Nancy apart."

The room fell silent with Sarah's honesty.

Michelle and Archie were sitting on an L-shaped couch, watching Michelle's favourite show on television.

Of course, they sat a distance from each other, with Archie's face dipped in his phone.

Michelle's phone rang, and Archie raised his head in curiosity.

\[Hey, Dad, alright, we will be there.\]

"They have landed. He just sent me a location." Michelle waved her phone.

Archie stood up immediately.

"I will drive. Go change your shoes."

She nodded and ran upstairs to wear sneakers.

Michelle and Archie wore matching grey pants, with Archie wearing white Nike Jordans.

Michelle's sent him locatiion from her bedroom.

He smirked coldly and quickly sent his man a text.
