I Trusted You

A few minutes later, the waiter brought us our things. Luke then spoke again, "You've either just moved here or have been hiding under a rock because I would've noticed a face like yours anywhere." It was like his eye sparkled as he said that. I laughed, "Yes, I moved here two weeks ago." He smiled, "See I knew it. What made you come here, if you mind me asking? You don't have to answer if you aren't comfortable." I smiled again, "A job offer. Don't worry I'll let you know if I'm not comfortable speaking about something." He nodded in understanding. "That's awesome. I hope it works out well for you. Now to turn this back to my first question. Are you ok? Like really ok? Did the boyfriend hurt you? Do I need to whoop some butt?" I giggled, I was doing a lot of that in the short amount of time we were sitting there. "I mean you don't have to tell me. I noticed it's a touchy subject." I nodded but laughed. He looked at me oddly. "If only you knew. I doubt you'd believe the recklessness of my life right now. And if I tell you I might scare you away." I laughed so hard at his facial expression, he had cocked an eyebrow up and looked at me shocked. "I'm just kidding, I mean I hope it doesn't drive you away..." He smiles, "I highly doubt it will. If you would like to talk about it to someone that doesn't know the situation and wont take any specific side I am all ears." I liked that... A lot. It made me smile. "You sure?" He nods.

And I explained my assumptions with every detail I could. He looked so upset, yet so sad, by the end of my story. "Wow. No offense but if this is true, which to me seems so, you have a shitty boyfriend. And an even shittier best friend. And so what you're telling me is, they have been sleeping together for God knows how long and now she's pregnant and it's most likely his baby?" I nod. "Wow. They don't deserve you. How are you feeling about it?" I honestly didn't know how I truly felt. I love Jacob I truly do but this hurts. And Paola, how could I ever be happy for her? How could I ever be ok with her? How could I ever trust her again? Jacob I can eventually get over, it'll always be a hurtful subject. But I know the day I find Mr. Right, I would be ok. But Paola, she's a different story. What happened to the girl code? He grabbed my hand lightly, as if giving me comfort and letting me know he's there. "I honestly don't know. I know I'm not ok, I probably won't be for a while. But maybe it's just time to let go and start fresh. I'm already in a new state, might as well start fresh with everything else." He smiled at me, a very big smile and squeezed my hand gently. "You are one strong girl for that. That is awesome."
