[So it's really over then?]
La Grande Dame stared at her screen, the blue light illuminating her face. Marina was in bed beside her, sleeping dreamily, her lip quirking every few seconds. She wasn't snoring like Tia did, didn't have her leg thrown over the covers like Tia had. She wasn't going to be made to feel guilty about what she'd done. This was Tias fault.
[It was over when you got a boyfriend, Tia. It was over that night in the hotel.]
[But we have an open relationship- Dada i still love you]
La Grande Dame screwed up her face, sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose. How dare Tia think she could do this.
[So I'm just supposed to wait around and be your side piece every time you come to France, or every time I'm in England? No, Tia, that isn't how this works. If you want to sleep together, fine, but I'm not keeping myself exclusive just so you can feel like we're still together.]
Marina sat up and hugged around Dada's shoulders. "What's wrong baby?" she asked sleepily, her eyes not yet focused on La Grande's phone. "Listen, Tia saw our kiss. Why did you post it on Instagram where you knew she would see it?" La Grande questioned softly. "I didn't think she checked my story anymore, and you resposted it."
"I did, thats my fault." They sat in silence, waiting for Tias reply.
[You're right, I'm being selfish. Im so sorry Dada. I should have put in the effort when we were together. You're such an amazing girl. I wish you didnt have to go to university in France, I wish i could have gone with you instead of staying in England, i wish id never met Jordan. Then maybe we could have reuinited and had a perfect lesbian romance haha. I miss you so much, every day.]
[I love you, mon coeur.]
Marina had gone to the bathroom. Dada stared at the phone, tears welling in her eyes.
[I love you too ma fille. I wish I'd stayed in England. I wish youd come to France like marina did. Then we could have kissed all day and made her jealous. Hehe. But i cant just wait around forever.]
[I know, Im sorry.]
[Do you remember the night in the hotel?]
[Remember it? My legs are still shaking from it.]
[Why are you always so dirtyyyy]
[You made me this way!]
[Do you remember afterwards? How i held you?]
[You said it was the perfect end. I didn't want to believe you meant that.]
[Titi.]
[I know..]
[Do you still have the necklace?]
[Of course, i wear it everyday. Jordan wants me to take it off, but im refusing.]
[Im always kissing your boobs!]
[Haha, yeah.]
[Is marina good in bed?]
Dada laughed through her nose at the question.
[Yes, but not compared to you.]
[Good.]
[I love you.]
[Just wait it out.]
