CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

BERTRAND

I had been up for almost an hour now. My mom and sister were both out of town. They went to Chicago to visit my grandmother. I was in the kitchen cooking breakfast when I heard a knock on the door. I peeped through the eye of the door and saw him standing outside with a coffee and donut in his hand.

What was Josh doing here? And that's when the memories of last night hit me. I opened the door.

"I brought coffee and donuts." He start off.
" she sent you. Didn't she?"
"No. Can I come in?"
"Sure. But make it quick."

When we arrived to the kitchen he handed me the coffee and donut.

"Let's get straight into it. What do you want?" I say

"Look Bertrand, i know that you I have put you through so much shit, I know that and I'm sorry, but Bertrand this is not about me and you. It's about you and Ella. She needs you Bert. You two belong together. She loves you Bertrand."

"That's not what she was saying when she was fucking Alexander."

"Alexander had gotten her drunk. She did not know what was going on. She wasn't awake. That Eleanor you saw yesterday that wasn't her. You and I know that very well. You know how much she loves you. How passionate about you she is. You're all she talks about. She's literally your biggest fan." He debates.
"Bertrand you know how much she loves you. She only loves you." He adds.
" cheating isn't love." I reply.

"Look, people can make mistakes it's true, it's human nature. Some are bigger than others, some are worse than others. At the end of the day all of them can be forgiven. All except this one, cheating." I added
"but..." I immediately cut him off.
"No buts. Can you please leave now? Tell Eleanor I'll call her when I'm ready."
After he left i took the coffee and headed to my room.

"Berty, I'm so sorry for what happened. I can't believe it. Are you okay?" Daisy asks.

Daisy came over. I had invited her. She's always the right person to call when I'm sad.

"I'm definitely not okay, but i will be eventually."

" if I'm being honest, she doesn't deserve you. You deserve so much better than a cheating girl."

I turn to her and look her straight in the eyes. She shoots me a smile and I lean in and kiss her. I kiss her so patiently it knocks the both of us down to the floor.
One thing led to another and at that moment we were both getting undressed.

"Are you sure you want this?" I ask her.

She nods so I continue kissing her. I pick her up and I lay her on my bed. She drops her head back and sighs heavily as i make my way down her body while kissing it. She takes a glance in my direction as I start pushing into her. I could sense a grin slowly spreading across my face. I slowly trail my fingers on her belly and wrap my fingers around her waist, pulling her towards me.

She moans.

I run my hands on her stomach again and reach for her breasts. I cup both of them, then lean forward and kiss her.
"I love you Bertrand."
"I love you too, daisy."

I pull her hips towards me and, at the same time, lift myself ever so slightly.
She grips harder around my shoulders as she lets out a big sigh. "Oh berty." She lets out.
I guess will was right. Watching porn does help.

"Want do you want for dinner?" I ask her.
"I don't know. What ever you want."

" Okay then get up. Get up and get dressed we're going grocery shopping. I'll cook us a nice meal."
