The next morning ..

I woke up and the first thing I thought about was what had happened between me and Blake last night.

I quickly shake the thought of Blake out of my head and turn to the side of my bed to check my phone. I had several texts, and some missed calls. Mostly from this unknown number. Me being Athena and all, of course I was curious to know who was calling me so I called the number before listening & reading the messages.

A deep voiced man answered the phone, it was Blake. I was in shock. I wanted to hang up but something kept me from doing so. It was silent for a minute, then Blake finally said something.

"I'm so glad you called me back." He said.

"Yeah... I didn't get a chance to actually look or listen to your messages.." I said back.

"Well all I said was 'We need to talk.' But how about we do it in person?"

You have to be kidding me I think to myself.

"Yeah Blake, whatever I guess."

"Oh great, I'll be by your place at around 2, see you then." And then he hung up..

First off, how does the jerk know where I live at?

2 o'clock...

I was sitting down reading a book and listening to some music, until I was disrupted by the sound of the doorbell ringing. I went to go open the door..

And of course it was Blake.

"Hey" he said walking in the door.

"Hi?" I said back.

"Well, I bet you're wondering why I'm here.."

"Yeah I am Blake, why the hell are you here?" I said raising my voice.

"Let's sit down & talk."

We then sat down in my living room.

"Athena, I didn't mean to make you emotional by showing you that picture of us last night... It just felt.. Righ-"

I cut him off.

"You're with Jen, you can't be doing this. I don't want anything to do with you remember? I'm with John."

"... Oh yeah, that fuck face John." He said mumbling.

"No but Athena, I want us to be civil.. Please that's all I really want. I really do like Jen and I don't want to mess it up."

"Well you're messing it up by being here, it's time for you to go Blake. I've heard enough." I said.

"Wait.. One last thing. Me & Jen are planning on going to the beach in a couple of days to have a barbecue, would you like to join? Please say yes, it will be nice. No bullshit I promise."

"Can John come?" I asked.

"... Uh, yeah sure." He hesitated to say.

I walked Blake to the door.

"I'll be there."

"Really you will? Thanks!" Blake said while having a huge smile on his face.

Before leaving, Blake hugged me, and for a minute, I didn't stop him, we just kind of held each other there. But then I snapped. I quickly pushed him away.

"I'll see you there Blake." & then I slammed the door.

I went to go sit back down, thinking..

"What the hell did I just get myself into???"
