Someone Else

Forty Two

Chris.

I have been busy this week with work and been with my friends. However, tonight I'm just spending time with Pia. We was going out but in the end we just wanted to chill and watch a movie together. We are cuddled up in bed, watching some romantic movie. I wasn't really enjoying the movie, Pia liked it though so I didn't complain.

My phone beeped next to me, with my spare arm, I reached over and grabbed it.

I thought I should give you a update, I got the job! - Tinashe, 9.51pm.

I asked Tinashe to tell me if she got the job in the end. I felt myself smile, I felt proud of her.

Congratulations! Well done, T. Proud of you. - Chris, 9.51pm.

She's really improved her life... I stopped myself from smiling when Pia looked up at me.

"Who was that?" She asked me.

"Uh, T, she was jus telling me she got the job." I informed her, without lying.

"Oh, okay, that's good." She looked back the TV afterwards.

I hope Pia don't mind that Tinashe texted me. I know no one would like their partner talking with their ex but me and Tinashe will always have some type of bond togher, which can't be broken.

"You're not mad with me, baby?" I asked Pia.

I felt a bit of awkward tension building up. She removed herself from my arms then sat up and looked at me... Here we go.

"Do you still like her, Chris?" She looked dead into my eyes.

"I like you-

"Chris, do you like her?" She repeated.

I don't like Tinashe, I fucking love that girl. I spent the whole week with her on my mind, I can't help it. I know it's wrong, I should be thinking of Pia, I just can't help it. Don't get me wrong though, I do like Pia, but she doesn't come close to Tinashe.

"We have history, I will always have love for her, I'm sorry." I felt beyond bad.

"Do you like me?" She asked lowly.

"I do like you, If I didn't I would have never asked you to be mine." I honestly told her.

"Why do I feel like I come second best to her? I feel like a side chick-

"Babe, It's not like that. You're my main one you know that." I cut her off.

"I don't want to do this but I feel like we will never work unless it does... Me or her, Chris?"

I looked at her in surprise. Her or Tinashe? Who even knows if Tinashe would even want to get back with me?

"You know I can't do that." I mumbled.

"I'm sorry but I want to know you want just me or is it her?" Pia's voice crooked.

I sat up in the bed, taking her hands in mine. I can't play with Pia's feelings like this, it isn't fair on her. We both know my feelings are with T.

"I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt you. I want you to know, I did and do like you. I-I just-

"Like Tinashe more." She finished off.

I nodded lightly. I felt her hands disconnect from mine, she got up from the bed then started to get changed.

"I'm sorry." I told her again.
