She Was Who I Paid Attention To (Vauseman)

Chapter 9

Alex POV

After everything that happened with Piper at the bar I realized that I had to be honest about everything. Piper wasn't something I wanted to just put on the back burner, the feelings I have for her are real. They were feelings I could never have for Sylvie, so I decided to tell Sylvie the truth.

"Sylvie, we have to talk." I say as I motion her over to the couch, she looked worried but deep down I was the most worried. If I worded this wrong in any way, she would flip out and I could not afford to feel her wrath.

"What is it love?" She asked as she plopped down next to me. 'Great shes in a good mood' I thought to myself.

"Okay," I say as I take a slight pause. "Sylvie, I don't think this is working out," I blurted out before I changed my mind. Her uneasy look turned into a cold stare in a matter of seconds. 

"What the fuck do you mean 'You don't think this is working out?'" She spat while her eyes shot daggers at me. "We just started getting good again and now you're fucking ending it?!" She ranted then her face came into realization of why I was leaving. "It's that Piper whore's fault isn't? She messed your fucking mind up" She screeched.

"Sylvie it is NOT Piper's fault. I have tried SO hard to keep this relationship going for the sake that we used to be best friends until you had to make me your girlfriend. That's when everything changed."  I shot back. Her being mad at me was one thing but she had no right to blame Piper for this. Suddenly the mood changed, instead of a heated argument, we were actually talking.

"Then why did you keep this going for so long?" She choked back tears. "Why did you make me think you loved me?"

"Because I cared too much about you to hurt you." I admitted. I wasn't lying because I genuinely cared about her. I just never wanted her to be my girlfriend. "You were my best friend Sylvie, but I could never actually see you as my girlfriend. I didn't want to lose you."

"Well you did lose me," She said calmly. "I'll be out of here by Friday." She stated before she stood up and went into the bedroom, locking the door behind her, then I was free. I was free from her and I could finally be with Piper officially.

 Although everything was fine between Piper and I now, there is something that I HAVE to tell her and it could ruin everything. It's basically about my 'double life'.

I already told her I worked for an International Drug Cartel, but she thought I was joking obviously. But if she finds out from anybody else besides me I know it will be over but it's not only that, I'm also supposed to leave for Bali in a week.

 I just don't want my job to ruin my relationship when I'm finally happy. We'll just have to wait and see.
