So this took way longer than I thought but here it is. Sorry for any errors, perfection is overrated.
Please let me know what you think and review.
Sacha's POV
It has been a month since Henry left for England. He tried to call me the first few weeks but I figured after a while he gave up.
I look at my breakfast not hungry at all when my phone rings again. I see his name and roll my eyes.
While I change into my dress I hear the doorbell. "Coming."
I walk down the stairs and open the door.
"Hey girl." My best friend Q hugs me. "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I will ever be."
Q wants me to date again and I didn't tell her about Henry and me on the kitchen counter so I had no excuse.
When we arive at the diner Q is overwhelmed with excitement. "You're gonna love it."
"I doubt that." I say while I exit the car. All my dreams were about that dreadful night that I will never forget. How can I date anybody else right now?
When we enter I see the numbers on the tables and I instantly regret this. Speed dating is not my cup of tea. A young lady gives me a button with my name on it and seats me at a table.
After the rules are clear there is a sound of the bell and a young black guy sits in front of me.
"So what do you do?" I ask him politely, not really interested in the answer.
"I'm sorry but what are you doing here?"
"Excuse me?" The nerve.
"You are way too pretty to be speed dating." He gives me a sly smile.
"Thank you. I want to broaden my view I guess."
We talk for a few minutes when the bell rings and the guy stands up shaking my hand and moving to the next table.
After chatting with 5 different guys it's all over. Q is sitting in a booth and I go to her.
"And?" Why does she always do that?
"And what?"
"Well wat did you think dummy? Seeing anything you like?"
I exhale and try not to grimace when I see a boy in a superman shirt. "Not really."
Q's face turns into a frown. "Okay girl what is up with you? I try to make you feel better, but I get the feeling I'm only making it worse."
I look at her and feel my eyes sting. "It's nothing, I-"
"It is something. What's going on?" She grabs my hand across the table and I feel a tear falling down my cheek.
"It's Henry." I sniffle and try to keep my composure but failing.
"Henry? Do you miss him? I know you guys are friends, but it's not like he died. He just went to England. He'll be back before you know it."
I give her a small smile. "I guess you're right. Thank you for today."
*Later at night*
I sit on the couch when my phone rings again. This is the fourth time within 15 minutes. I'm fed up and pick up the phone. "What?"
It's quiet for a second. "Can we talk?"
"There is nothing to talk about." That came out really bitter.
"Please Sacha?" I hear his voice cracking.
"Where are you?" I know it's a stupid question, but I kinda hope that he is in front of my house so I can hug him and tell him everything is going to be okay.
"Still in England. I miss you." Damn him with his emotional feelings.
"Is it cold there?" I internally facepalm myself. How did it get this awkward between us?
"Sacha please just talk to me."
"We are talking."
He exhales. "I'm sorry I left the way I did. It was a work thing and-"
"It's always a work thing with you." I'm getting angry again and walk to the kitchen.
"I really wanted to stay.. but..."
I pull the pint of ice cream out of the freezer and look for a spoon. "But you had work, I get it."
"You do?" I hear hope in his voice. Not the way I wanted this to go though.
"Yeah, you're married to your job I get that. Was that all?" I put a spoon full of ice cream in my mouth to stop me from hurting him even more.
"I'm not married to my job. It's just really important to me."
"More important than I am? Got it." That was selfish and I know it.
"No... god Sacha. I'm leaving here in two days. Can we talk then?"
I exhale and put the spoon down. "There is nothing left to say Henry. I'm going to bed. Goodnight."
He sighs. "Night."
I hang up and feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. I eat the ice cream while I am trying to find some good alcohol to forget about this whole situation.
So what do you guys think? Stay safe.
