What She Wants

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

The door opens and I see Lilly. She wasn't supposed to be here knowing the plans Devon and I had tonight, but she looks like somebody is holding a gun to her back.

"Hey. You okay?" I walk up to the door then I see somebody is behind her.

"I'm sorry." She says then moves over to the left a little bit.

I see a tall figure. Muscles just as big as Devon's and eyes lighter than his.

"You've got to be kidding me Lil." I stare into his eyes for a second then Devon comes up behind me.

"Who's this?" He asks, looking at Lilly then me.

"My" I pause between words not knowing what'll happen in these next few moments. "My ex."

"Ciao amore mio" He says to me with his Italian accent knowing I was a fool for it.

"Oh don't call me that." I step out of the house, push Lilly inside and close the door. "Why are you here? How did you find where I live now? What the fuck Mal."

His name was Malcolm and I said Mal. It just slipped out. We had dated for 2 years so I guess I can't blame myself.

"That's not how you greet an old lover now is it?"

"I don't love you"

"But you did."

"Then you broke my heart. Now tell me why you're here."

"I thought we could try again."

"No thanks." I walk away and he grabs my hips.

"Come on love" He whispers in my ear.

"Get off of me."

"No can do. I'm still in lo-"

"I have a boyfriend." His hands fall from my hips and he is silent. "Will you leave now?"

"Was that him? In the doorway?" He asks, sounding sad almost.

"Yes. Now leave. Please" He could tell I was serious because I would always stiffen my back.

"Anything for you love. I'll see you tomorrow." He walks off to his car and pulls out of the driveway.

I go to walk back inside but before I do I take a deep breath and let out any tears that were forming.

"You're ex" Devon asks me as soon as the door opens. "Really?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know he was coming here. I didn't even know he knew where I was." I walk up to him and hold his hand.

"Don't." He pulls his hand away. "Lilly you should go."

"No she can stay. Whatever you have to say you can say it with her here." I want her here for when he storms out and I have someone to cry to.

"Did you love him?"

"Of course I did. We dated for two years. What do you expect?"

"Do you love him?"

I take a second before responding. Remembering all those nights I spent crying over him. Texting him.

"You do," He says with a scoff.

"No, no I don't. I love you." I paused before I heard what I just said. We'd been dating for two days and I just told him I loved him. Before he can say anything back Laura walks in the house.

"Ohhhh bad time?" She asks, looking at me with tears now rolling down my face, Devon staring at me, and Lilly in the corner of the room.

"No you're fine." Devon tells her and walks out of the house.

I stand there with waterfalls coming down my face. Lilly is apologizing and Laura is trying to figure out what was going on. I get my jean jacket and car keys then leave.

"Wait Nenna, where are you going?" Lilly asks going to block the door with her body.

"Get the fuck out of my way Lilly" She's a little bit shorter than me so I look her in her eyes with the straightest face on.

I get in my car and open snapchat. I had blocked Malcolm a while back but I unblocked him and go to the snap map. I look at his location and drive right there. The tears don't stop. I told Devon I love him and not only did he not say it back but he didn't say anything. I arrive at Malcolm's house and ring his doorbell. He was the youngest of 4 but his two older sisters had moved out already. It was just him and his brother but his brother was home from college for summer break.

"Sienna?" Alexander asks me looking concerned as I had tear marks on my face.

"Where is he?" I sniffle and walk inside.

"His room. Are you okay?" Alex grabs my arm but I just shake him off.

I walk up the steps and slam Malcolm's door open. He was sitting at his desk with his headphones on while doing work. He turns around, gets up, and opens his arms to me. I hug him feeling at home. Peaceful. Then I remember who he is and start banging on his chest.

"Fuck you!" I hit his chest with tears falling to the ground. "None of this would've happened if you just stayed out of my life."

"Calmati amore" He speaks Italian to me knowing I took it as the language class in our old school. He knows it's my weakness.

"No, don't pull that Italian shit. You fucked this up Mal. I was happy and you fucked it up."

"I didn't mean to. How was I supposed to know you had company?"

"YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!!" I shout then take a deep breath. "You weren't supposed to be there." I repeat myself then leave. I entered his house and cried in front of him. Hugged him. Just like how I used to when we were together and I was sad.

I get home and nobody is there. The kitchen is clean and there's a note on the fridge.

If you need anything just text us. We love you Nenna. Lilly and Laura

I pull out my phone to text them but see I have a missed call from Devon. He left a voicemail. He never really did that.

"Hey. I'm sorry I left like that, I was really angry but I should've stayed and talked to you. Call me back when you listen to this. Night lamby"

Tears form in my eyes when  he calls me lamby but, the tears are there because he still didn't say it back. Maybe I shouldn't have said it. I should've waited but it just slipped out and I wasn't going to say I don't mean it. I call him back after taking some breaths and drinking water so I don't sound like I've been crying for hours.

"Hey" He says

"Hi" I respond

"I'm sorry Sienna. I'm sure you heard the voicemail but I really am sorry."

"It's fine." Somebody knocks on the door making me put my phone down for a second. I open it and it's him.

"Hey" He says

"Hi" I respond

"I love you too" He says while I was walking away from the door.

"What?" I turn around and look him in the eyes.

"I love you Sienna Maria Garcia" He smiles and cups my face with his hands. We kiss and he holds my hips so I don't move. "Now can we finally finish what we started at the party?"

"I'd love to but I'm exhausted." I speak with my lips still on his.

"To bed it is then" He smiles at me and carries me up to my room.

I go on the right side and he goes on the left. I get under the comforter and put my head on his chest.

"Goodnight lamby" He looks down at me and grows a smile on his face.

"Goodnight Dev"

"I love you"

"I love you too"
