I had just left my meeting with one of my partners. As I was driving I had stopped at a red light. As I sat in my car, I had looked at the car beside me. My heart had dropped. It was Nova.
I had taken a closer look at the driver. I soon realized it wasn't Nova, she would never wear the color orange. The car behind me honks at me since I wasn't moving when the light was green. I get out my thoughts and continue driving.
Me and Nova divorced a month ago, and ever since then everything around me has reminded me of her. I couldn't even sleep in our-my house without waiting for her to come around the corner.
Forgetting she's no longer in the picture.
I run my hand down my face, frustrated at my own thoughts. Nova hasn't been able to leave my head, and I was starting to see things. Maybe a therapist wouldn't be such a bad thing.
I was on the way to a bar since my best friend, Kethan, invited me. He doesn't know about the divorce yet, Hell not even the public. The only people that knows are Serenity and I'm pretty sure Zryan. They gossiped like two teenage girls.
The public saw us as "separated". For the sake of public image. I didn't like the fact I had to lie to my peers but it was either that or be the laughing stock. So I was stuck wearing my wedding band everywhere I went, pretending.
Nova knows how much I hate lying.
I had made it to the bar and walked in to see Kethan already waiting for me at the bar. I had sat in one of the seats next to him. "Ah, look who decided to show up" he says as he takes a sip of his drink. "Why else wouldn't I be here?" I say as the bartender comes up to me. I ordered some scotch, something to hold me over.
"Well that fact that you've been acting really weird for awhile" he says. I look at him with a dumbfounded look. "How have I been acting weird?" I ask as the bartender gives me my drink. "For the past month you seemed way more...Tired. Are you getting any type of sleep?" he asks.
The truth was no. I've been lacking on my sleep schedule since the only thing in my mind was Nova. The night after our official divorce, I had a very realistic dream.
Key word: realistic, not real.
Ever since then, I've been avoiding falling into a deep sleep so I wouldn't have those types of dreams. So safe to say, sleep hasn't been my priority for awhile.
"Noah" he sighs deeply. "you are a CEO to one of the largest hotel companies in new York. You can't just not sleep." He was right. Kethan was always right about something. "And be honest man, is this about Nova?". My posture stiffens at the sound of her name. after our "separation" went public, people around the office didn't mention her name. This was the first time I've heard her name actually come out of someone's mouth.
I didn't answer him, which gave him the answer to his question. "well luckily you guys are only separated" he says.
I stayed silent again.
We make eye contact.
He catches the hint.
"wait don't tell me you guys divorced?" he says. I started looking at the ground, not even wanting to answer the question. It'll hurt me too much. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asks. "I just don't like talking about it" I say blankly, trying to keep my composer. This conversation wasn't the conversation I was hoping for.
"oh well, I'm sorry about all that." He says. I nodded my head in response. "actually, I know something that could ease you up a bit" he says. "I'm going to vegas for a vacation, if you want you can tag along with me. It could distract you, and hey, maybe even you'll find a new..." I glared at him. "nevermind, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go".
Vegas sounded like a great idea actually. Only reason is, if I go to Vegas I may run into Serenity who is Nova's sister. Which would probably hurt more.
