MY CAREER

Chapter Fourteen

Katsen

There was silence at that time. Grey continued to sub. I was speechless and shocked. I thought he was just a playboy. But it turned out he truly loved me.

Guilt filled my heart. I had hurt him. I am the bad person here. But I can't undo this. Michael has been nothing but sweet to me. I can't go back to Grey even if he wants me back.

"Ok. I accept my mistake. But Kat. I meant every word I spoke to you. I love you. I meant every fucking word. And even though you admitted to sleeping with him. I will forgive you for that. But don't you fucking talk to me the way you did earlier? I can not survive that. It hurt right here". His middle finger pointed at the position of his heart. "It hurt. And you don't know how I tortured myself by keeping you away from me all these years."

Micheal was angry. Katelyn was shocked. And I also could not believe what Grey just said to me.

Suddenly, Ari joined us. At that time, I was getting scared of other people seeing us.

"Kat. Are you okay? " Ari asked looking confused.

"I am fine". I replied.

"Kat. Do you think Michael cares about you? Is that what you think? ". He chuckled and continued. "Michael is only trying to get at me by coming close to you.". Grey added

"Shut it Grey. You lied" Micheal cut in.

"I lied? Why don't you tell her what you and I have been doing after college? Tell me. Why did you go after Katsen?" Grey asked

"Enough! That is enough. Are you not ashamed of yourselves? Both of you, fighting over a nobody like her?"

"Shut up Katelyn. How dare you call her a nobody? Stay out of my business". Micheal warned

Grey turned to face Micheal. He went so close. "Michael, I apologize one more time for what happened in college. Pleases, let's put a stop to this nonsense. How many of my girls would you sleep with just to take your revenge?". Grey asked Michael and I was shocked.

This is new. What is Grey talking about? No, I refused to believe Michael is the bad guy here. But I just heard Grey confronting him right now before my eyes. I was suddenly feeling dizzy. Then Grey continued

"Please. Leave Kat out of it. She isn't just any girl to me. She means much more. I will forgive whatever might have happened between you both. But, let's end this. Enough. Please.". Grey pleaded

I was expecting Micheal to say something in his defence. I was hopeful. He is a good person. I don't want to believe that all we had was a game for him. No. It can't be.

I was so tired. I could not stand it anymore. So I spoke. "I can clearly see that both of you have
something you are hiding. But honestly, I don't care. But please, stay away from me. And that includes you, Michael.". I warned.

Ari and I left the scene and we left in Ari's boyfriend's car.

The truth will always hurt you. I could sense that Grey was telling the truth. But I was afraid to hear it. Maybe not now. I thought Michael was different. He has been a perfect friend and a good support.

I don't know who to trust. But, I trust myself. Now, I just want to focus on my work. I should have known from the beginning. Why would someone like Michael approach someone like me?

I should have known from the beginning. It was too good to be true. What makes me special? He is too good for me. Likewise Grey. What was I thinking about living in the world of these rich people?

Am I some kind of a Cinderella or something? A poor black girl like me. Thinking of a perfect relationship with these wealthy people. Something is wrong with me. It seems I have read too much of romance Novels.

Ari's boyfriend dropped us home. Ari and I walked to my apartment. She opened the door and I walked inside. Ari locked the door behind her. She dropped her bag and came to me. I was already sitting on one of the sofas in my apartment.

She hugged me understanding what I was going through. I started crying in her arms. She hugged me tightly and could not say anything. She knew I was hurt. So hurt that I could not speak.

I pulled out of the hug and went into the bathroom to have my bath. When I came out. I changed into a pyjama and went to bed.

Ari came and kissed my temple. She also went into the bathroom to freshen up. And when she left. My phone beeped. But I ignored it. It beeped the second time. And it started ringing. But I refused to pick it.

Even though I did not check my phone. I can guess the caller. Right now. I just want to have a new beginning. A world of reality. And not living a life of fantasy. Which was what I've been living in for a while now.

Ari came out and changed into a nightwear.  She joined me in bed. And she slept off. She thought I was asleep because I pretended to be. I just want to be like this. Starting afresh is all I need now.

Everyone has a past. Whatever has happened between me and those two is now in my past. And I want to free myself from that past.

I tried to sleep. I couldn't. My head is hurting. So, I got up and looked for an analgesic to ease the pain. I got one inside my drawer. I took it and went back to sleep. After a few minutes, I was able to sleep.

*******

Waking up this morning was refreshing. "Come girl. I've made us breakfast. You need the energy to face work today.". Ari advised.

Honestly, she is a good support. A good friend who knows me well.

"Good morning Ari. And, thanks for the food.". I greeted

So, I got up and brushed my teeth before eating. The food smells good. And it tastes delicious. She had made us spicy noodles with a rolled omelette served with juice. But she drank coffee instead. I don't like coffee. She knows that.

"About yesterday," Ari said. But I quickly cut her off

"Not now Ari. That is in the past now" I looked her in the eyes with a smile. "I want to start afresh without those two. They are nobody to me now. Let it go" I concluded.

She nodded in agreement. But I know her well. She has something to say. But she just wanted me to get better. Honestly, I prefer it that way.

My career. Is more important to me now. I have reached this height to the glory of God. I don't want to mess it up. So, I will focus on my work. And with God's will. I will survive.

This is a new chapter of my life. And my goal is to reach the top.
