money, but this is new.
But if it means securing the investors into my business, then I’m willing to date anyone…
Ella
“So you’re really breaking up with me?” I yell at my boyfriend, well now ex-boyfriend, Kyle. He’s standing in my living room trying to give me these sad excuses of why we don’t work as a couple.
“It’s not you…it’s—” he starts to say, but I cut him off.
“If you give me the whole, ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ speech, I swear I will slap you,” I yell at him.
Is he serious?
He rubs his hand through his hair and I can see that he’s trying to be careful with his words because he doesn’t know what my reaction will be. “Okay, well how about I found someone who makes me happier?”
“Oh, and who is this someone?” I ask.
The only person I know him to spend time with is…and then it all starts to make sense.
“Lidia,” he mumbles.
At first I want to believe that I didn’t hear him right, but I know that I did. Lidia is one of my friends, but I’ve never been able to trust her. She has her sneaky ways, which is why I always watch what I do and say around her. So this doesn’t really come as a surprise to me. Or at least not as big of a surprise as it should be.
“So you’ve been messing around on me with Lidia? My alleged friend Lidia? You know, you two are real pieces of work. I thought that you were better than that.”
“It sort of just happened. It’s not like I had intentions of messing with her while I was with you.”
“You don’t sort of start messing around with someone, Kyle, so I know that it didn’t happen. Just go ahead and tell me the truth.”
He sighs, but I’m not going to let him talk his way around this. If he wants to break up with me, he is going to do it like a man and that’s that. It’s not like I’m even upset about the whole situation. I’m actually more upset about how he is trying to talk himself out of it.
“Well, at first she was just keeping me company because you work all of the time and I was bored and lonely. But then as time went on we started to become attracted to one another, and then the next thing I knew we were messing around and in love with each other. I honestly thought that I was just going to bed her, and then it would be over, but it got complicated. She doesn’t want us to hide our relationship anymore, and I think that she has a point, especially since there is nothing between me and you anymore.”
“So you’re in love with Lidia? Exactly how long have you two been messing around?”
He sighs. “About six months, but I didn’t fall in love with her ‘til about three months ago.”
“So you’ve been lying in bed with me while messing around with her on the side? And to make matters worse you’ve been in love with another woman while still occasionally having sex with me? Like, really, Kyle? Were you two having sex in my bed?”
“A few times, but most of the time we had sex at her place because she didn’t want to be here because it reminded her of you.”
“I’m sure that it would remind her of me, considering that it’s my apartment. My boyfriend should have reminded her of me too, but I can see that you clearly can’t think past that little head in your pants.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, Ella. It just all happened so fast. I’m sorry.”
I sigh. “Whatever, Kyle. Just take your stuff and leave, okay? You’re not sorry for doing what you did. You’re only sorry that you actually have to sit here and explain it to me.”
“You aren’t going to threaten to burn my stuff and try to fight me?” he asks, shocked.
“For what? You’ve made your decision, and right now I could care less. Just go before I do decide to throw something at you for being a complete asshole. I don’t want to have to deal with you or this situation any longer than I have to.”
“Well, if it makes you feel any better we are going to be moving
