What's Meant To Be

Part 32

I called Chanel over and walked her to the room. "Did you say something to her?" - "Unbelievable. You think I did something? You bring her here behind my back and she runs away and its my fault" - "Well you always got something smart to say to her. You have such a problem with her yet you never bothered to be there for me when I needed you. Aubrey was the one there, not you!" - "I know that. That's why I try to let everything with her slide I was trying to follow my dreams too Bruno. What would you have me do?" - "Oh don't give me that! Aubrey was following her dreams too! Going to school and working a full time job. She still found time to be there for me! Look I don't wanna argue. I apologize, I was out of line. I should have told you she was coming" I said and started buttering her up. I didn't wanna mess things up with Chanel until I knew for sure what was on Aubrey's mind about us. So I decided to make the best of the next couple of days that I was here in Hawaii with Chanel. I only heard from Aubrey once after she left. She texted me one time just to tell me she made it safe. That was it. I texted her a few times but she didn't respond. I guess I was going to have to wait until I got back to LA to talk to her in person. The two days went by slow and it was finally time to go back to LA. I took Chanel home and told her that I had to go meet Phil at the studio. Which wasn't a lie. I just didn't tell her what I was going to do afterwards. I met up with Phil and after we were done I drove to Aubrey's house. I knocked on the door and when she opened it I could tell she was surprised to see me. "Oh, Bruno, hey!" - "Good to see you too" I said and walked inside. "Sorry, I just wasn't expecting you" - "Well what good would it have done to text you if you haven't been responding?" I asked and she just said "Sorry" - "Sorry? Aubrey, why did you leave? What happened that night? Talk to me?" - "Bruno, it was just a mistake okay?" And turned to walk away. "Just a mistake?" I asked and grabbed her hand to make her face me again. I felt something on her finger when I grabbed her hand and glanced down to see what it was. It was an engagement ring.
