My English Muffin (Interracial Romance BWWM Black Woman White Man) (8 page)
I moved on to reading some books on my Kindle. I was just having a look to see if there was a new Lena Skye novel out then I heard the door buzz.
I figured it was one of my girlfriends. They knew that he was supposed to be leaving today. I ignored the buzz, I didn’t want to talk to any just yet, I needed to adjust to the second loss in a month. I needed time to just be sad before I could let them cheer me up.
I know that I was just being silly, and had I known what was really going on, I’m not sure I would have ignored it. The buzzing continued. I tried to ignore it. It was incessantly painful and was driving me crazy. I sunk myself into the ice cream and ate one of the chocolate chunks that were swirled through the entire pint of creamy cold soul healing goodness.
I knew that if it was Ada or Andrea they weren’t going to let me out of this so easy. I finally relented and buzzed them up without checking who it was. I unlocked the door and plopped back down on the couch to wait for the pity party I was about to have with the girls. I tried to wipe the tears from my eyes, but they just kept being replaced my more.
When the knock on the door came I just shouted come in through my sobs. I didn’t even pay attention to who walked in the door. The arms wrapped over my shoulders from behind the couch and I just continued to cry.
“
It’s OK, love.” The softness of that deep British accent shocked me. I turned to see his face looking down on me.
“William! You came back?” I asked him. I wasn’t sure that I wasn’t hallucinating.
“
I couldn’t leave you.” Tears were welling up in his eyes. “I called and arranged for another week of vacation. Another week won't hurt me.”
“You’re here for another week?” I didn’t know if I was thankful or upset. “Why?”
“I wanted to spend it with you. I couldn’t leave you behind.” He leaned in and kissed me. It was a wet kiss that was full of our mingling tears.
I looked down after we kissed and finally realized what I was wearing. “Oh my God!” I shouted and ran off to the bedroom. I couldn’t decide what to change into, but I couldn’t let him see me in my break up outfit. I rushed to change but ended up throwing my entire closet onto the bed. “What am I going to do?” I asked myself.
I heard a response from my doorway. “Remember to close the door before you panic over your outfit.”
“I can’t believe you’re seeing me in this.” I threw my hands up. “You shouldn’t see me like this.”
“
Why not?” He asked. “You look beautiful in anything you wear. You’d look even better if you took it all off and didn’t worry about a new outfit.” He was smiling at me, and there was lust in his eyes.
“Ha ha,” I laughed sarcastically.
“I’m serious. Anyway, before we do anything, I have something I need to talk to you about. Something important.” The words had an ominous touch to them. It was the kind of statement that would haunt someone forever. The kind of words that said that bad news was coming. I couldn’t even think about what he was going to say to me. I braced myself to impact as I walked out of the room.
I had no idea what was going on and I was afraid to find out. I excused myself out of the conversation for a few minutes by going to the bathroom.
I spent the next few minutes going over the worst case scenarios in my head. I sat on the toilet and hung my head in my hands until I finally decided that I was probably making it out to be worse than it was.
I walked out of the bathroom into what felt like a firing squad. He sat me down on the couch and he sat next to me perched on the edge of the sofa.
“OK Mimi, I have something to tell you....and you’re not going to like it.”
My face dropped when I discovered what he told me. Oh no...
Thanks in advance xxx
