AN- I can't remember if I've already written anything that's sort of the same concept but I hope you enjoy.
I have kept quiet for too long. For the past two years she kept telling me she would tell our friends and then later on the public. It's not even about me wanting to go out in public with her but I just want to be with her like the couple we are in front of our friends.
Today we separately (emphasis on separately) went to Gigi's dinner party. It was always the same thing she arrive separately but then she gives me a ride to my house after, typically we just went back to her apartment. And tonight I reach my breaking point.
At first the sneaking around was thrilling and amazing it felt like the world was in our hands. She has promised to much but she has never completed any of them, which is why I'm done.
At the party she sat at the other end of the table, she not once made eye contact with me. Like usual. When I would talk she would just look the other way or just look down at her plate. At the end, like usual, I waited for her outside Gigis apartment until her car picked me up. I guess she forgot because after waiting 20 minutes I ended up getting an Uber back to her apartment.
I had too much self respect to keep letting her treat me like that. When it was just us she was the most caring and loving girlfriend, why couldn't she be like that in public. As I entered her apartment she was sat in the living room on her phone with a glass of wine, like if she didn't have enough win at the party.
"So did you forget we were supposed to live together?"
"Cara asked for a ride and I couldn't say no Charlie."
"A text message would have been enough. At least I wouldn't look like a dumbass waiting for you in the cold. Which by the way, when are you gonna tell them? It's been two years I think this is serious enough isn't it? You don't even have to tell the public I just want to hold your hand when we are with our friends."
"Can we talk about this some other time? It's late."
"No we are talking about this now and if we don't then I'm leaving and never coming back. I'm serious about this Taylor."
She put her drink down and then walked over to me. Her facial expression worrying me a bit but I knew she would never hurt me, not physically.
"You'll leave me because I don't want to tell my friends? Who by the way were my friends way before you even made it to the picture. Have you ever thought about why I won't tell them? How am I at where I am in my career dating a nobody like you. Don't you think it's embarrassing? And you want to know something? You were just a good fuck, I never really loved you but I thought you were hot and then you turned out to be easy."
I was trying not to let my tears fall. The person I was looking at was not the person I fell in love with.
"Fuck you Taylor." I walked to her room to collect everything I had which wasn't much but I never wanted to step foot here again. As I was leaving she tried to talk to me but I just kept walking.
"Charlie wait, I didn't mean that. Don't leave."
I made my way to my apartment as it wasn't far from here I decided to walk. I fell asleep crying that night still not believing what had happened.
As the weeks went by I focused on my work. Spending my time between working and just reading not really socializing not wanting to accidentally bump into her in the city or with her friends. I couldn't escape from her on social media seeing as sh was everywhere with a new girl. I wonder if she was an easy lay too.
Fuck her.
It was now a Friday and my friend Jess invited me out for dinner. "So have you slept with anyone since you know who?" I wasn't surprised Jess brought her up. I had sworn her to secrecy but she was just nosey. "No I'm not that interested. Don't want to seem like an easy lay."
As we were finishing our dinner I noticed Gigi walking by our table so I reached up to her. "Gigi Hi!"
"Hey girl! You guys should come join us we haven't seen you in a bit!"
"Say less where are y'all at?" Jess spoke out before I could even stop her. I was just praying Taylor and her girlfriend wouldn't be there.
But as we made it to the table I was wondering what the hell I did to the universe mad at me because there she was sitting with the woman. "Look who I found guys!" Everyone welcomed Jess and I but Taylor.
"Hi everyone it's good to see you all, I hope we aren't intruding" Jess said.
"No never! It's good to see you Jess! And Charlie why have you been AWOL? We missed you." I always loved that Cara was so welcoming.
"Oh you know I didn't want to embarrass you guys I mean I'm practically a nobody."
"What? Did someone say that to you?" Cara was also nosey but I guess that was expected because I really didn't need to make that comment.
"I did actually by some loser but you know what lets forget about that fucker and lets have some fun!" I raise up my glass and we all cheer except for Taylor. "Here's to me getting laid tonight" I add just for fun. I could just feel her staring at me but I didn't give her the time of day.
As the night went on the group decided to hit up a club. "Come on Charlie you said you wanted to get laid maybe you'll get lucky." I rolled my eyes but I couldn't deny it. "Alright."
It didn't take me long to find a woman to dance with the best part was that we weren't really tipsy at all. "I'm Charlie, what's your name?" I spoke into her ear so she could hear me. "Amelia." We danced for what felt like forever. I had my back to Amelias front her hands all over my stomach.
"Hey I need to go to the restroom do you mind getting u a drink? I'll be back soon and we can continue this."
"Alright." I made my way to the restroom after kissing her cheek.
After I did my business I walked out to Taylor standing by the sinks. Great. I went to wash my hands in the furthest sink.
"Do you want something?"
"So you're just shutting yourself out for strangers?"
What the fuck?
"So what if I am? What's it to you."
"And you wonder why I didn't go public with you."
"I'm not wondering why, you told me already. You shouldn't care what I do you have a girlfriend. You have no right anymore. So fuck you and fuck off. Leave me the fuck alone. Now if you excuse me I've got a hot ass woman that I want to let fuck me, since you know I'm an easy lay."
I left before she cod say anything else. Finding Amelia quickly by the bar I grab her hand and tell her "would you want to come home with me?"
"Sure let's go."
"Wait I've got to say bye to my friends." I hold her hand and take her with me to the lounge area the group was sitting at. "Guys I'm heading out. It was so good seeing you all."
"Bye girl, get some."
"Have fun!"
"Charlies about to get luckyyyy"
I blushed with embarrassment I quickly pulled Amelia away, she just thought it was the funniest thing. As we walked out the club I let go of the thought of Taylor and the part 2 years we spent together.
