Cursed By Fate

As the weeks turned into months, Carl and Laura’s relationship continued to grow stronger. They were inseparable, and their love for each other only deepened.

Laura was always at the club every now and then after work hours and Carl was always at Laura’s place during his off time .

But Carl knew that he couldn’t keep his secret hidden forever. He wanted to tell Laura about his true identity as a werewolf, but he was afraid of how she might react. He was afraid she might not want to have anything to do with someone like him or probably find him strange.

Carl kept his identity a secret to himself because he cannot afford to lose someone special in his life again. After all he sees himself to be a human since he has refused to shift to his wolf part.

Carl has been thinking of how to spice up their relationship even though he had no experience. He had seen many romantic date scenes in the movies. “How do I go about it ?” Carl decided to settle for a picnic date .

” What’s up Dude?” Carl went to meet one of his friends who was also a bartender at the club.

” What is it again this time around Carl ?” He replied ” I don’t have any relationship advice up there so if that is what you want from me again this evening, I’m not in the mood for that ” .

” You should learn how to take things easy man, ” Carl said .

” Why would I take things easy when I know whenever you’re trying to talk to me in the middle of work , it’s either you want something from me or you want me to advice you about that lady ” The bartender said.

” Ohhh, I totally forgot!” Carl said, holding his forehead with his two hands.

” What is that ?” He asked Carl .

” I thought I told you that I finally summoned the courage to ask Laura out ” Carl replied.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

” You did !!! That’s my guy . You know I have always believed in you ” The bartender said ” I am happy that you did”.

” I thought I already told you” Carl said

” Have you forgotten I just resumed work the day before yesterday?”

” I’m so sorry I forgot, ” Carl replied. Carl has been thinking of Laura that it made him forget practically almost everything.

” It’s fine. So how is it going with her ?” He asked.

” It is going fine of course. The main reason why I came to you this evening is to ask you for something important” Carl said.

” What is that ?” The bartender asked, folding his hands like he already knew what Carl wanted to ask for .

” I want to go on a date with Laura but I’m confused on where to take her too ” Carl said with a dissolving smile.

” I knew it !!” He said .” It is either you come to me for relationship advice or something more important”.

” If I don’t come to you, then who would I think of going to ” Carl asked giving him the cutie little dog face .

” Don’t give me that face dude. I don’t do guys ” the bartender said jokingly.

” I don’t do guys either . Not even when I have my girlfriend ” Carl boosted.

” I also have mine so you don’t have to boast about your girlfriend in my presence ” he said .

” Alright , You’re right. Just give me the advice I asked for ” Carl said.

Carl’s bartender friend advised him to go on a picnic date with her in the woods where he should set up a romantic spot for them to have a nice time and all . He showed Carl examples of how he would set up everything and make it fun for the both of them .

Carl is so happy that he is going to try something new with Laura for the first time since he started dating laura.

Carl anticipated and couldn’t wait for the day to come . It can only be on Sundays, which was going to be his free time.” I need to inform her about it for her to prepare ahead ” Carl thought to himself.

Immediately Carl called Laura to inform her about the date .” Hey baby , how are you doing?” Carl asked Laura over the phone.

” I am doing fine , it is just that I have a lot to do at work today and it has been so stressful” Laura replied tiredly.

” I hope you had lunch already amidst all the stress ?” Carl asked. ” You know you would break down if you kept skipping lunch and I don’t want you to break down”.

” I promise I won’t, ” Laura promised, smiling so sweetly at the other side of the phone like it eased a little bit of her stress .” What about you?”

” I haven’t had lunch and it’s passs lunch period already ” Carl Said.

” And here you are preaching to me to go and eat lunch while you yourself have not had one ” Laura replied.

” You’re the baby here so I should make sure you are fine before making sure I am, ” Carl said .

” Did you just call me ‘baby ‘ ? . If I am the baby then what are you ?” Laura asked .

” Come off it . No matter what you do or say , you’re still the baby here ” Carl Insisted.

” Have you forgotten the way you behaved the last time we met ? ”

” Say no more , I accept” Carl admitted after remembering the way he was lurking around Laura like a baby the last time they met .

” Thank goodness you admitted for the first time ” Laura laughed.

” Yeah , I have to since you won this time around,” Carl smiled.

” I think I have to go now , it’s time for me to wrap up at work ” Laura said.

” Alright love , take care of yourself ”

” Yes, I will and you too my big baby ” Laura replied.

” And give me a call when you get home ”

“Sure , I will ”

And as soon as Laura Hung up the call , Carl began to smile to himself that people around him noticed.

” What’s with the smiles and blushes?” His bartender friend asked him .
