Omg, for some reason I feel in love with this story and always feeling like making more. Lol.
Why was Helia giving me advice?
I hesitated, and clicked the green answer button.
I was nervous while holding the phone against my ear. "Hello?"
"Flora! I'm so glad you picked up! We need to talk." Nick said, sounding happier than ever.
Did he not remember what happened yesterday?
"I don't really want to." I said in a low voice.
"Come on baby. I'm taking a flight here tomorrow, and I want to talk to you." Nick begged.
I rolled my eyes. "I am not your 'baby'."
I looked up at Helia who seemed irritated.
"So yes that a yes?" he asked.
"Whatever, fine." I said, and hung up on him.
I can't believe that I agreed to see my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me. Why did I do that? I feel so stupid.
The next day at 7:00….
I finally got the fancy restaurant that the taxi dropped me off at.
I was wearing a silk pink one shoulder dress along with a almond color pumps with rhinestones. I was also wearing a almond color crystal ring, a many layered pearl bracelet, and pink rose studs. I also had a pink rose clutch with me. (AN: If you want to know what the outfit looks like, go to my homepage. And BTW now I'm starting to create my own outfits. Awesome!)
I locked eyes with Nick, as he signaled me to come over.
He pulled out my chair for me, as I sat down. "Thanks." I mumbled.
"No problem. You look great, Flora." he smiled, examining my body.
I didn't give him an answer but gave the tiniest smile since he did compliment me.
"So, I hope you don't mind, but I already ordered for you. I got your favorite, pasta." he said.
"Thanks." I mumbled. I didn't want to say much to Nick.
The waitress came, holding out two plates of food, and sat it in front of us.
I grabbed the fork, and started eating the pasta.
"It's good." I said, chewing on it.
"It is. I knew Italian was your favorite." he said, biting on some of his steak.
There was one bright side to not dating him anymore. He's not a vegetarian, unlike me. I'm proud of being a vegetarian.
I pushed my hair behind my ears, and gave him a smile.
I felt so nervous around him, so I didn't know what to say.
I had to ask him. It's what I came here for.
"So, anyway. Nick, let's talk about what happened..." I said with my voice trailing off.
His happy smiled immediately dropped into a cold frown.
"I did it just for fun. You know I still love you." he said in a low voice.
"So you think dating Elaine was okay?" I snapped, dropping my utensils.
"Well you wouldn't hang out or make out with me since you were busy with your homework and your new friends." Nick replied angrily.
My eyes widened in shock. "You made out with her? You still think that was okay?"
"Flora. Stop being so loud. I tried to pretend it was you." he said, holding my hand across the table.
I snatched his hands away.
"You think that fixes everything?" I asked, raising my voice even higher.
"Flora, stop being a drama queen and be quiet. People are staring!" he spat harshly at me.
I felt my eyes well up with water. "Should I know how many other girls you dated?"
He looked like he was thinking, as in he seemed like he was counting how many girls he dated behind my back. I clenched my fists.
"Enough counting! You cheating douche bag!" I shouted, standing up on my feet.
The whole restaurant became quiet, as every ones heads turned to my direction.
My tears started running through my cheeks.
"You're just a cheating jerk and a playboy. I hate you! I never want to see you again!" I yelled out.
I grabbed my glass of water, then splashed it on Nick's face. After that, I walked to the door.
"Flora!" he called out.
But, it was too late. I was already out of the door, and walking along the sidewalk, wiping my tears away.
I took out my phone, hoping I could call someone for a ride back to campus. I was out of money so I couldn't afford a taxi.
The girls said they were shopping, so I didn't want to disturb them. Nabu and Brandon didn't pick up, so it only left me one person.
Helia.
My hands started to shake as I was tempted to click his name. It wouldn't do any harm, right? I was just asking for a ride home. I took in a deep breath, and clicked his name. I held the phone next to my ear, as it started to ring.
"Hello?" Helia answered after the forth ring.
"H-Helia?" I asked, sniffling.
"Flora? Is that you?" he asked, with his voice sounding confused.
"Yeah. Could you come pick me up?" I asked with a crackly voice, wiping a tear away.
"What? Where are you?"
"Downtown, outside of Starbuck's." I muffled.
"Stay there." he said.
And with that, he hung up on me.
I put my phone back into my clutch, and pressed my head against my palms. I didn't know that the night would end so bad. What makes it worst, that it started to rain.
I putted my jacket on and sat on a table outside in front of Starbuck's for another ten minutes thinking about what Nick and I had, until a Helia's car pulled up in front of Starbuck's.
I hope you really look forward to the next chapter! xD
