More than friends?

Chapter 22

I walk to Yami.. My heart is pounding out of my chest. I have so many emotions of feeling used, raged and just hurt. Like I know that I had been in an awkward relationship, but at the same time he had been giving signals and flirting.

Like how can do you give those signals, but yet go for it with someone else? I just don't get it.. I have no idea what I'm going to say or what he's going to say to me. I get to where I am 5 feet away from him. I look him and he looks so defeated. I can tell he knows that I know something.

"Yugi, can we sit in your car? I think we have some stuff we need to clear..". I nod my head and I unlock the car doors. I look at the clock in my car and it's past 11. What a day has this been and we still have so much we need to talk about. I just hope he's honest with him and tells me everything that I need to know.

I'm going to start the conversation and see how he responds... "So, I heard the other day while I was in the office that you messed around with someone... like a few weeks ago. I know we aren't officially anything or have a title. Plus, I know that I have been in a weird place with my previous relationship, but I know we were getting somewhere. I just need to know the truth and know why..".

Yami sighs and looks at me with those beautiful crimson eyes. "Well, I'm not going to lie, but yes I did mess with someone a few weeks ago. It didn't mean anything to me, it just kinda happened. You were at work and I was well, you know.. and Tea happened to messaged me and I told her to swing by..".

My heart sank, because he's never even offered to have me come over or anything like that. We have to plan to hang out, but once he's in the mood he invites someone over? Just like that? Like that's hurtful..

"I know it's not a good reason, but I am sorry. I really do want to make this work and have no secrets or anything else come out." I can tell from his tone and his eyes that he means it. I'm just scared that something like this will happen again and I start to get in my head that maybe I'm not good enough...

"Yami, this just makes me feel like I wasn't good enough or that you can keep secrets from me.. I just wish you had told me this sooner. Like I get that I wasn't in the best relationship either, but I told you and kept you in the loop." I can see that Yami looks a little tensed up after me saying all of that. He did need to know that though. I want him to know that this is serious and I'm taking this seriously. If he doesn't want this then I need to know now.

We sit in the car in silence for a minute. I look at home and he's looking down at his hands. Then Yami finally says, "You're good enough, and you don't need to worry about me keeping things from you. I promise I won't do anything like this again and I will keep you in the loop with anything that does come up. I'm sorry, I really am Yugi. I promise that I'll make this up to you."

I look at him and I smile. We both smile at each other and both sigh with relief. I really hope that we can get passed this and actually grow from this. This honestly has been the most stressful day and I don't want to have days like this...

Let's hope that we both learn from this and make this work..
