Wow!
She was stubborn and she had a very big ego to give in and try to understand what I was trying to say here!
But well, wasn't she same like me? We had a lot of similarities, and this was definitely one of them! I always thought that she was like Mom, but the more I thought about it, I guess she was more like me!
I needed to be patient with her!
Thinking more about it, it must have been difficult for people to talk to me when I was behaving like this! Huh!
"You need to understand what I'm trying to say..." I said.
"No..." she said, "No, I shouldn't have opened up about my feelings! I should have remembered how happy you seemed to be with her..." she said and made a face as if she had made a mistake.
I should have remembered how happy you seemed to be with her... What did that even mean?
"I'm sorry!" she said, "I tried to look up her social media profile..."
She stalked Angela's profile! Why would she do that? And when did she do that? But if I asked anything about it now, I guess it'd only make things worse!
"I know what you're thinking right now..." she said.
"Of course you'd know. You're a mind reader after all!" I said.
Damn! I couldn't keep my mouth shut, could I?
She took a deep breath and said, "I know you're thinking why did I even try to look up Angela's profile..."
Okay, not bad! She got that right this time!
"I did that just out of curiosity. There was nothing more." she said.
"I wasn't thinking about that." I lied.
"Anyway..." she ignored what I said, "I saw the picture of you there. You looked so happy! You had this spark in your eyes. I saw it when you were totally drunk few weeks back. You need to get drunk to be happy now!"
"Well, I have no idea how the hell I smiling and what kind of spark I had in my eyes in that picture. I don't even remember anything." I said incredulously. She had definitely lost her mind!
"Bella, you're honestly trying to look too much into the things that aren't even true! Why don't you try to listen to what I say instead?"
"I don't know..." she said, "To me, eyes always speak louder than words!"
"Well, may be, mine don't!" I said, "Bella, you're really acting like crazy right now! I don't know what has got into you!"
"I also don't know!" she said, and suddenly she looked very vulnerable.
Okay, I guess I was being too aggressive. I should try to understand what she was thinking right now. She was trying to open up to me few minutes ago and I simply rejected her at that time, and may be now I was being too harsh to her!
"Bella..." I said, "If you don't want to listen to me, that's fine. But talk to me! What is going on in your mind right now? I'm sorry! I know I've hurt you. But please, talk to me. Please..."
She didn't say anything for some time and kept looking at the ground. I honestly wanted to know what's going on in her mind right now!
"Okay, what do you want to say?" she said, "Tell me. I want to hear anything."
Okay, finally!
