He couldn't believe this, pacing back forth in front of his bed. To say he was pissed off was an understatement.
He couldn't believe what had just happened.
"You stupid son of a bitch" Speaking to the emtpy room
"Stupid Stupid Stupid!"
His beer in his hand went flying across the room smashing as it hit the wall.
Why did he think that she would want him for anything more than sex…?
He wasn't good enough for her, he didn't fit in her picture, and he wasn't the one she wanted.
Problem was she was what he wanted; hell he had changed because of her. She made him want to be better, do better, to have a dream, a plan, and a future.
They had been sleeping together pretty much since the wedding that never happened, and then started dating for almost 6 months, spending most of their spare time doing stuff together and he had coped a lot of flak for it. He didn't care though he wanted to be with her and they had fun.
Ok it wasn't perfect but what relationship is?
"Stupid Stupid Stupid!"
Telling himself again that he was stupid in believing.
Thinking back to the night a week ago.
They were having dinner at her place just take out from Fancy's, no lights just candles lit around the room, music in the background, a slow song came on so grabbing her hand and pulling her close, so close he could feel her heart beat. He didn't want to let her go.
"I think I am falling in love with you!" In a whisper that he didn't know if she heard.
She just place her head on his shoulder holding him tighter and they stayed that way for the rest of the song in silence.
Shaking the memory off he grabbed another beer and went sat on the couch wondering what had happen when did it go all wrong.
He had it all planned, he would pick her up from work; take her home run a nice hot bath for her. While she was in the bath he was going to finish making dinner. After dinner he was going to tell her his secret that he been keeping for about 2weeks. He had the money for his bar he had a decent deposit and he had been to the bank and gotten the loan not only for the bar but to buy the building it was going to be in…..He was excited he couldn't wait to see her reaction.
His idea of a nice romantic night didn't go to plan. She was distant; he had asked if she was ok? She had only replied that it had been a long day. When we walked into her place she had seen the table he had set up and noticed the rose pedals leading to the bath.
He had started to explain that she was to take a bath while he finished making dinner. That's as far as he got before it all went to hell.
"Stop! Wade just stop!" placing her hands up to make the point that he needed to be quiet.
"What?" He just watched her.
"We need to talk. I have something to tell you." She relied in a sad tone.
"Ok?" He sat on the bed allowing her to stand in front of him. Trying to grab her hand but she pulled away.
"Wade…I don't know how to say this! " Looking away she took a deep breath.
"I still have feeling for George and I can't move forward until I see if George and I are meant to be together." She blurted it out that fast that Wade almost missed what she had said ALMOST.
"What!" Wade just sat there really trying to understand what he just heard.
"I have strong feelings for George!"
"What, so the past 9 months have been what to you. You hassle me about my feelings for you and I finally tell you and this is what I get! You have got to be kidding me!"
"Wade, I am sorry I thought I was over George and then you said what you said and I realised that." Wade cutting her off in an angry tone that made Zoe takes a step back.
"Just forget it Zoe just forget it! Hope you and George are happy" Realising he swung around to face her.
"George was dating Tansy!" More of a statement.
"They broke up about 2 weeks ago."
"Of course they did." With that he walks out of her place. Got into his car and took off.
Getting up off the couch he grabbed a bottle of whiskie and started taking swigs straight from the bottle. He wanted to forget what had just happened. Zoe wanted George and was going to be with George….
