I didn't talk to anyone after that night. I needed time to myself. I didn't even want to talk to Craig. At least I have got started on my book. I decided to work under an alias name. I am thinking of making the book a 2 part series. The first being a girl in love with her best friend, she tells him but he rejects her. Second part is he comes back into her life although he is married. I know it is pretty much my life at the moment but no one needs to know that. I am sure some people will be very interested in reading it.
I am sitting at my desk in my office when I hear the doorbell. I head downstairs and see Craig outside. I guess I avoided him long enough. I open the door inviting him in upstairs. I sit back at my desk as he sits on the sofa.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"Here," I sigh. "I am actually working on a two-part novel." Craig looks impressed.
"So you decided to write a book after all. I think it's a great idea."
I shrug. "So many writers out there. It can either be a hit or miss."
"Are you going to take it to a publisher?"
"No, I am going to use a self-publishing on Amazon."
"Smart," replied Craig leaning back into the sofa. "So what happened the other night?"
"What do you mean Craig? I am not a mind reader and I am not in the mood. Just ask me what you want to."
"Kyle was in a pissed off mood on Sunday. He came by before heading out to start his season and to say the least he was off. More so than before."
"Did you try asking him what was wrong?" I asked. "I mean you almost seem more concerned for him than me."
"He is moody as fuck. Of course, I want to know why. I am sure Ike could find out. He tells him most things but I think he is keeping a lid on this. Catherine seemed okay and ignored his attitude." She does not love Kyle at all. What kind of fiancée would ignore her partner who is obviously upset?
"I couldn't do what we were doing anymore," I sigh crossing my arms. I still feel emotionally drained and don't really want to talk about it but I know Craig won't let this go. "I broke off whatever it was we had going."
"You guys are still friends at least right?"
"I don't know," I admit sadly. "I don't know if I can be friends with him Craig. I love him. I can't go back, too many lines have been crossed."
"What about the wedding?"
"I will still be the best man for his bullshit wedding but after that I am done. I am going to move on."
"You are actually going to go on some dates?"
"I am not ready for all of that. I am just going to focus on my work which you are interrupting by the way." I take a sip from my coffee.
"Well excuse the fuck out of me. I also wanted to let you know to keep your scheduled clear for the first weekend in December."
"Why, what's going on?"
"Kyle is flying us out to be fitted," explained Craig. "Well more so you and Ike, I am just tagging along for the ride. This is going to be so awkward with what I know is going on."
"Awkward," I exclaimed. "This is ridiculous. He is not happy with Catherine. I mean I am just so confused. This, this is why I am freaking the hell out." I put my face in my hands getting mad all over again.
"Man you really love him don't you?"
"Dude, you have no idea. I honestly don't think I could love anyone else."
