BACK AGAIN​- ᴊᴜᴅᴇ ʙᴇʟʟɪɴɢʜᴀᴍ

42

We were back in Spain, but had heard we were going to London for an event next week, which made my intentional schedule a lot tighter.

What happened in Greece stayed between me and Jude, but there was tension. Not like before, this time is was pleasant, oddly sexual.

Josie apparently was out of the picture long before Greece, I just hadn't payed enough attention to him to notice.

I had tried to avoid Gavi for a while, but evidently I knew I'd have to talk to him. I was out with Naomi, talking about London and Jude. It was in another part of town, so hopefully no chance of seeing anyone familiar.

Then, all of a sudden, Naomi started squealing and pulls me to the literal floor.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Look!" She points to the entrance. There stood Gavi in a suit, a girl by his side.

"Is that Josie?" She was wearing a blue dress, her red hair tied up. You could see her baby bump almost breaking her dress, a baby she claimed to be Jude's. She clung to Gavi and he didn't seem pleased. He was glancing around nervously, hoping not to get recognised.

"What's he doing here? With her?" Naomi asked.

"I hope he's cheating," I reply, getting a look from her.

"It would make everything so much easier," I defended.

"Come on, let's get out of here." She pulls me up and walks past him casually.

They kiss.

My heart is jumping. I try to keep calm, but I didn't have to pretend to be upset. He didn't seem the type to cheat. I still feel awful for what I did, and I wanted to tell him. I never intended to betray him, but it felt justified.

I decide to throw a fit. The good thing is he doesn't know about Greece yet, so in everyone's eyes, he's the one in the wrong.

Right as we're about to exit, we lock eyes. I look at him, hurt and he immediately let's go of Josie. She only looks at me with a smirk.

"Davina," he tries, but Naomi already threw a glass of water in his face.

"How could you? With her?" I point at Josie.

"It's not what it looks like, trust me," he walks to me but I push him away.

"Don't try to justify it. We're done." Tears were running down my cheeks at this point and I grabbed Naomi to storm out the restaurant but Josie grabbed my arm.

"I guess you're not good enough for anyone." She sneered, giving me an awful smile.

"Lucky you." I replied and ran off with Naomi.

My eyes were still filled with tears and I didn't know why. I wanted this to happen but it hurt knowing he wanted it too. It sounds awfully selfish and cruel, but I'm still glad it happened. If I could've made it work, I would. If I got over Jude, I'd give gavi everything. But he didn't think the same.

"At least I didn't have to do it," I yell to Naomi, driving back to her apartment on my bike.

"So what're you going to do now?" She replied, holding on for dear life.

"I don't know. I can't go back to Jude now, right? It'll look weird."

"Do what you want girl! I don't think anybody will care. Everyone liked you better with him anyway," she replied as we entered the property.

Jumping off my bike, I knew Jude only lived a ten minute drive from there. I thought about going, but changed my mind, not even knowing if he wanted me to go.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Naomi," I said and left her to go inside.

I drove past Jude's house and glanced up at his place. The lights were on, so he was home, but I didn't go up, not wanting to disturb him. I also didn't know what to say. After Greece, everything was more comfortable between us but at the same time also awkward. Neither of us knew if I could figure out anything with Gavi but I sure knew I couldn't immediately go back to Jude tonight.

I hurried home, my engine booming through the empty streets, hoping to have a better plan tomorrow.
