FORGIVE ME

ELOISE MICHAELS

smut warning

"How could you not tell me this?" Lorenzo shouted, as he stormed out of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Please wait, Enzo," I begged, rushing after him.

"No, Eloise. You don't get to sleep with someone else and keep it from me for this long," Lorenzo argued.

The bartender had mistaken Lorenzo for Levi to which he connected the dots shortly.

"I didn't want you to react like this. Stop walking away please. Can we talk about this?" I pleaded.

"Y'know. It's hurts most that you thought you couldn't trust me with this. Instead, you've lied for months," Lorenzo snarled. "Did this happen whilst we were together?"

"What? Of course not," I defended.

"So why didn't you tell me?" 

I shot up from bed, waking up Lorenzo. My heart raced and my breath eventually caught pace with myself.

"Love. Are you ok?" Lorenzo asked, rubbing my shoulder. "Bad dream?"

"I-. I'm fine," I lied, running my hand through my hair.

Remembering my mother's word, "You can always change the course," I muttered under my breath.

"Oise. What's wrong? I can see it on your face," Lorenzo said, poking my cheek.

"Um. Enzo. I-. I have to tell you something," I replied hesitantly.

"OK. What is it?" Lorenzo questioned.

"Well. When we were-" I stammered, exhaling sharply.

"You can tell me, Oise. Take your time," He assured.

"Please stop being nice," I begged, burying my face into my hands.

Lorenzo face turned confused, "Wh-. What did you do?"

I'm just going to have to come right out and say it.

"When we were broken up and I was really upset. I did something and I don't think you'll forgive me after I tell you," I sighed.

Lorenzo's eyes turned cold, "Did you sleep with someone else?"

I avoided his gaze, unable to make eye contact.

"Eloise. Did. You. Sleep. With. Someone. Else," He repeated.

"Yes," I muttered.

"Who?"

"Lorenzo-"

"Who was it?" He quickly interrupted.

"Levi," I spoke quietly.

Lorenzo exhaled sharply, staring deeply into my eyes. 

"I'm really sorry. It didn't mean anything. I promise but I understand if you don't want to be with me anymore and I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," I rushed my words.

"It didn't mean anything?" Lorenzo sighed.

"NO. I promise. I was just drunk and sad but I know that's a poor excuse," I responded.

"I'm not mad," Lorenzo said.

"What? You're not?" I asked.

"No. I get it. You thought I had cheated on you at the time so I can understand. Even though I really don't like it had to be Angelos," Lorenzo scoffed. "Does he think you two will continue seeing each other?"
