Chapter 18

Two days later.....

Walking around London after a week was nerve-racking but also nostalgic. Today was my last day in here as I went to sell my house here. All of my stuff were shipped into my new apartment in Barcelona. Mapi insisted that I could stay with her, but I knew I needed my own space.
As I walked to the house my phone lit up with a notification:

Maps🌹: Your milion things has just arrived to your new mansion ma'am.

I laughed at her saying mansion as if I just brought a whole ass castle. I asked her if she could guide the couriers into my apartment to set things down.

Nat ☄️: Thank you my knight. <3

Maps🌹: Anything for my queen. :-*

I closed my phone as the customers came and handled me a check with money for the house.

===============================

After calling myself an Uber, I started walking toward it.

„Where to ma'am?" I hesitated for a minute and then told him the address of a house I knew by heart.

As the Uber stopped I stepped out of the car, thanked the driver and headed to the front door.

But my finger froze as soon as I attempted to press the ring. Am I really doing this?

I took a deep breath before pressing the ring. Nobody knew I had come to London earlier and neither did I tell anyone about it. So when Leah opened the door her surprised look wasn't something I wasn't surprised to see.

„Hi." I said almost whispering. She stood there looking at me not saying anything back.

„You said you wanted to meet so...I came." I muttered when she didn't reply.

Suddenly I was embraced tightly by her. I hugged her back.

We stood there outside herhouse with our bodies tangled together. Neither of us wanted to pull away.

„I miss you so much." Leah whispered into my ear.

I replied: „I missed you too. Whenever I mentioned the hospital, she freeze in spot, I told her "I'm glad you are no longer in the hospital."

She hesitates before letting me in and says, "Nat, I need to tell you something.".

We sat on her sofa on the opposite side of each other as she began to talk: „ Look I know this may sound so so hurtful, and I know it can ruin our friendship, but I can't hide it anymore. I didn't want to admit it for a long time. However, when you broke up with Rachel and we started to spend even more time together, it grew and it became increasingly difficult for me not to say anything. So after you told me you're leaving I couldn't let this slip away. I can't let YOU go." She took a deep breath in.

" Natalia Elsa Jain, i love you" she said.

"I am sorry." I said back.

===============================

In Barcelona a day later.....

"Are you planning to tell me what happened, Bonita?" Mapi asked as I cried into her shoulder in my new apartment. I didn't respond, just cried harder.

Mapi ran a circle around my back allowing me to relax for a while, but it still didn't help the pain.

„You are aware that you can talk to me about anything and everything. But I won't pressure you." I was glad for that from Mapi. I know deep down she wants to know what happened, why is her girl crying, but how can I tell her?
