Love at 51

Part 17

Brett's POV

*knock knock*

Emily walked out and opened the door.

"Hey, you're Antonio, right?" I could hear Emily talking to someone at the door.

"Yes, yes I am." Antonio said.

Wait a minute. How did Antonio know where I was? He doesn't even know who Emily is, none the less he was here. I should probably go out and talk to him.

"Hi Antonio, I thought that was you I heard." I said when I got out to the door.

Emily walked back inside to finish making her lunch.

"Wh... what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Gabby came to me this morning and told me that Matt never showed up at the fundraiser where they supposed to meet. She called Kelly and he told her that you and Matt were together that night." Antonio spoke.

"Casey stormed out of my place this morning looking like he regretted our night."

"I have another thing I want to tell you. But first you need to know that it really hurt Gabby to hear that her best friend was sleeping with her ex-husband who she, by the way, is still in love with."

"I'm so sorry. I'm going to apologize to her as soon as I see her again. But I don't regret it, I'm in love with Matt, I've been in love with him for a year now."

"Well, I'm in love with you. I know I left you. That I hurt you. Sylvie, I love you, I always have and always will." Antonio said.

My face lit up. He left me in a horrible way, I had imagined a whole future with him. Kids and everything. I didn't know how to tell him, but he had probably already guessed from my facial expression that I still love him.
