my
back crying against my shoulder ‘I didn’t know, I promise I didn’t know!’
We are seated on the sofa one either end a
quilt wrapped around us, we are drinking wine with Pretty Woman playing on the DVD
player.
‘Men are pricks’ Bella announces ‘did you
really let him screw you on the desk?’
‘I am afraid so’ I murmur ‘I lose all rhyme
or reason around that man’ I turn to her ‘have you ever been with a man that as
soon as he is within your personal space you forget everything else surrounding
you?’
‘Until recently no’ she whispers ‘do you
want me to break up with Mike?’ she utters suddenly.
‘No! Absolutely not Bella why would you say
that? Will you do me one favor though?’ I request.
‘Sure’ she regards me expectantly.
‘Don’t discuss me and Grant with Mike.
Don’t taint your relationship with our drama’
‘Ok’ she glances at her fingers, ‘I haven’t
taken his calls today’ she admits.
‘Bella, no! Go talk mush to your man’ I instruct,
‘this has nothing to do with you and Mike he seems like a great guy go enjoy
your relationship please’ I plead and she nods rises from the sofa and enters
into her room.
It would have been better if I hadn’t seen
him again and we hadn’t relived our passion merely had the glorious memories of
Vegas. I think I am in lust with him, I have never wanted anyone physically as
much as I want him he is a drug to me. He lied to me, he acted as if he was
available to have a sexual relationship with me and in the sidelines was a
fiancé!
Bella returns as the credits are playing,
‘you ok?’ I enquire.
‘Mike never knew Abi I promise you’ her
eyes are wary.
‘I thought we agreed you were not going to
discuss us!’ I stress.
‘It had to be approached right now for my benefit,
from now on in we will remain out of it’ she assures me, ‘I cannot be with a
man that allows such behavior around the people I love’ she frowns at me, ‘I
promise we didn’t know’
‘Ok, it doesn’t matter forget it I have he
will never have the opportunity to hurt me again’ I assure her.
‘From what I gather he isn’t prepared to
give up’ she informs me quietly.
‘Well the fact that he has a fiancé blurs
the picture slightly don’t you thing?’ I raise an eyebrow.
‘Well he denies she is his fiancé’ she
informs me.
‘Really Bell’ I hold a hand up ‘I don’t
wish to know’
Bella tenses her jaw as if she wishes to
speak but stops herself.
I find myself at work earlier than usual all
week refusing to leave until way after everyone else welcoming the
distraction. I am happiest when I am busiest. My boss is impressed and
mentions the fact that he recognizes that I am working above his expectations
of me.
I am hurt, more so than with Scott purely
because I placed my trust in Grant and our….whatever it was. I felt it I was
there I had faith in our feelings. I will never trust in those feelings ever
again I have built a wall around my heart.
Bella and Mike are adorable and so into
each other, she attempts to hide it without success I have never experienced
this side of Bella during the whole of our entire friendship and to be honest I
cannot blame her Mike is a sweetheart. If I wasn’t so screwed up with Grant I
would be a little envious of Bella.
I continue throwing myself into work
ignoring all the invites to go out at every opportunity, there was no point as
far as I was concerned.
‘Please come out Abi’ begs Bella.
‘No’
‘Why are you being so stubborn? Just a bar
and a drink? You have to get out of the house other than at work’
‘I am not interested, anyway where is Mike
tonight?’ I reply.
‘Work stuff, please Abi we haven’t been out
for ages. Just us girls’
I sigh, ‘just a few drinks no clubbing?’
‘Absolutely’ she grins aware she has worn
me down.
We step into the bar and Bella’s phone
rings, ‘Hi baby’ she sings into the mobile. I roll my eyes and
back crying against my shoulder ‘I didn’t know, I promise I didn’t know!’
