It had been a long, tiring and emotional afternoon for her. She looked down at her phone and the background photo that was distracting her so much. It was a photo of her and Theo. She went into her settings and deleted it. Now that he wasn't a part of her life anymore, she didn't want a reminder of the past, staring icy daggers into her soul. Instead, she found a photo of her and Cory. It was perfect… he was perfect.
Lea decided that she should move back to New York for a while to see her family. She missed her mom and dad so much and she was defiantly missing that city but she didn't want to leave Cory behind now that she had broken up with Theo. She also thought that it was time for Cory to meet her & parents. Edith and Marc had already him but Lea wanted them to meet his as the man she was falling in love with, not the man she worked with.
Cory was still sitting at the juice bar, reading the same paper for about the 5th time. Every now and then, he would look down at his phone to see if lea had called or texted him. He wanted to call her so badly but he knew that wasn't the right thing to do. He needed to let her sort this out for herself, her way. He trusted her but he didn't trust him and he was so worried that something bad was going to happen. His heart started to beat harder and faster at the thought of Theo even laying a hand on his Lea. Then, his phone rang and it was her.
'Lea, are you okay?'
'Yeah, I'm fine. It was scary, but it is done… I'm free'
'W-was he angry about me and all?'
'I didn't tell him about you. I'm sorry but I just couldn't'
'It's okay, I get it… he probably would of came after me anyway'
They both laughed a little
'So, I was wondering if you would come to New York with me? I need to escape this place, its driving me insane'
'I'd love to come with you. I wouldn't want anything else in the world right now than to spend time with you. Which reminds me… are you free tonight? I have a little surprise for you…'
'Of course I am! I'll be over in a couple of hours?'
'Yeah sure, I can't wait.
'Me either…'
