Eye to eye | Book 2 - Trent Alexander Arnold

Chapter 15🤍

"Hi babe." Trent spoke immediately as Ella answered the phone, trying to conjure up the confidence to tell her. He didn't want to upset her at all, but he had to be honest. Relationships were supposed to be fuelled by love, loyalty and honesty.

"Hi." Ella greeted her boyfriend back, sounding as if she was softly smiling, hearing his voice again. She had been busy all evening but she had her phone with her.

"You okay?" He questioned her before he was going to tell her the news which he guessed that she didn't want to hear.

"I'm okay. You?" She spoke back, with a tone that Trent knew all to well. He closed his eyes before he answered her question.

"I'm okay." He confirmed, pinching his eyes closed again as he was about to finally be able to tell her everything. This was something he never wanted to do again. "I need to tell you something."

"Mhm." She didn't verbally respond, but she let out a sound so that Trent knew to carry on speaking.

"So, you know when I told you that Sabrina wanted to speak to me?" Trent muttered as the nerves were still very much present in his stomach. Ella let out the same sound as a reply to his question, wanting to know the rest. "We talked it out and she apologised but then after the conversation, I got up to leave and she tried to kiss me. I pulled away immediately though."

"I know." Ella confessed to him and she sounded like she was getting out a sweet packet out. It was like 10:30 pm in Spain and she was eating sweets. Classic Ella.

"You know?" Trent was shocked to have heard what his girlfriend had just said. If she knew, then why didn't she sound angry at him? He would've thought that she would be.

"Yeah, the girls told me." She affirmed to him. Ella's phone had been spammed an hour ago by them. She couldn't ask for better friends. Of course they had told her.

"So you're not upset about it?" Trent noticed her tone sounded different to what he had imagined it would in his head. He had expected her to be fuming.

"I was at first. I was very upset.  I was really annoyed but then I remembered it wasn't your fault. The girls told me that you were angry at her for trying to kiss you and that you walked away straight after. I don't know why she keeps going, but I trust you baby and I know you would never cheat or anything." Ella stated, causing Trent to be relieved. She knew how much he loved her. "And then I wondered why it wasn't you telling me first but Jess told me that you were driving back to Tyler's so I get it. You know I don't like it when you call and drive cos' you get distracted."

"Yes baby I know." Trent chuckled softly. Ella was perfect. She was so understanding, more understanding then he could comprehend. How was she so amazing? "I'm sorry I didn't tell you first. I didn't know how to tell you."

"Well, you've told me now and everything's fine." Ella replied to him with a smile on her face. Trent was so grateful that it was Ella he was in love with because he didn't think anyone else would be able to have the patience to deal with this ongoing situation. "Let's stop talking about it now."

"How's Jude?" He asked, changing the topic of the conversation, finally. He hadn't seen Jude in a while but it wasn't the longest he had gone without seeing him.

"He's fine but he's being annoying as ever." Ella rolled her eyes thinking about how demanding he had been of her. He missed his sister and so when he would see her, he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Now with Jaida being there, they both had too. It wasn't that she didn't like hanging out with her brother, it was that she was exhausted and wanted to sleep sometimes. "He's been asking me and Jaida to go everywhere with him. I'm tired of being a third wheel. Next time, we should do it to him, see how he feels."
