Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

413-Let Me Go, Lazio.
’Christina! Do you even know what you are saying?’ I asked her after she got out of shock in the next few minutes. It really took
me some time to realize what she had asked me to do.
'I know. I sound a bit weird and strange to you. but I have my reasons to suggest that," she said, lowering her face when
responding to me. She seemed so intelligent, so why would she suggest such a thing?
’You want to share your mate with me? I really want to know your reasons." I frowned at her, raising my voice a little as she
surprised me.
'As if you don't know already. Enya! He is not happy with me. He will never be happy with me. I tried to make it work. I did
everything I could, but it seems unfair to him now.
I know he should have backed down before the marriage, but I cannot punish him for that for eternity. He has already suffered a
lot. and looking at how your marriage turned out, it seems like the Moon Goddess' plan was to bring you two together. It seems
like you two are born to be together." She raised her voice when her intelligence was questioned.
I was only staring at her face in shock and amusement. How could someone suggest something like that? Did he really break
that much?
’Christina! You love him. You deserve him. Remember how much you had to endure to be with him?" I had to get out of bed to
talk to her after she too left the bed and stood across from me.
"I remember everything, but he does not. Besides, I didn't do all that to make him feel like he needed to repay me. It was never
intended to be a force on him. I did it for myself because I loved him unconditionally. Now he is not happy, and I don't know how
long I can keep an unhappy mate with me," she yelled, breaking down at the broken marriage she had been trying to fix for
years.
’And what makes you think that’s what I want to do?" I yelled back at her, feeling her pain. We weren't angry with each other, just
frustrated with our lives.
’I don't know what you want, but I know what you deserve. You deserve love and someone who treats you well. You have done a
lot for everyone, Enya. It is time that you get the love and affection back," she said, not raising her voice at me this time. I, too,
calmed down when listening to her.

’Enya! You have come a long way. I used to think my life was unfair until I met you and saw you living an even shittier life.
Maynard is nothing like Lazio. Even when he wasn't happy in the marriage, he cared about me. He tried to make me happy even
when he wasn't happy himself, and that made me realize how I was being unfair to him. He
deserves to be happy too. The two of you have faced a lot. There was once a time when you two were inseparable, and I cannot
forget how happy your presence made him. It is time that you look out for yourself and finally find the happiness you deserve.
Please give him a chance and accept him. Don't think you are doing something wrong to me because I am giving up on our
relationship, with or without your accepting him. As for Lazio, he doesn't really care. He has his eyes on his new love, and I think
I don't need to say her name out loud for you," she yammered, all in one breath and in a muffled tone. I couldn't help but keep
staring at her face.
It takes so much courage to give your love away, and she sounded courageous at that moment.
’I still feel like it is wrong for you. Christina! I haven't seen Maynard in that light in a very long time. So there is that issue as well."
I walked over to hold her hands and make her understand I am not ready to be in a relationship with anyone. However, I must
admit that I don't hate or carry the grudges I used to have against Maynard anymore.
His sight and presence gave me butterflies. But I wasn't going to tell her all that. What if she is giving up on her love, thinking I
want him?
’It is fine. Just start looking at him in that light from now on. I just want everybody to be happy. I am sure you will find your
happiness in him." She had to force a smile onto her lips, but she was being genuine about her offer.
I didn't know how to proceed with her suggestion, but now that she has made it clear that she is leaving Maynard, I might speak
to her and try to see where the emotions take us.
’Just talk to Maynard, okay? I want you two to be happy. As for Lazio, I think he deserves to be with someone he loves, too." She
took a deep breath and cleaned the tears from her cheeks to give me a genuine smile.
’What about you, Christina?" I asked, tilting my head and watching her bite her lower lip.
’Maybe I will finally be able to find someone who loves me too?" She forced herself to smile and then pulled me into a hug.
’I will be happy if all my friends are happy. That’s all I need." she patted my back lovingly before breaking the hug and eyeing me
to get back into bed.

’Now get some rest so that you can feel better quickly. I will let Maynard know I want to file for divorce so that you two can be
together without worrying about me, okay? Nov/ no more questions," she pointed her finger at me to warn me before walking out
of the room.
She wasn't wrong. Maynard has loved me all along and has redeemed himself too. I would rather be with him than with Lazio,
who doesn't give a shite about me.
But would Lazio let me go that easily?
