A week had passed and I decided not to tell Avi about Vic's text. But I didn't respond, either. I don't know what he meant by his words, but there's no way he could figure out where I live. Right? I plopped down on the new couch Avi and I had just bought for the apartment. It's reasonably comfy, one of Avi's choice.
I took out my phone, opening it and once again reading over Vic's message. I really wonder if he meant what he said, or if there's some other meaning behind it. But to me it just sounds like he's going to show up here, at my front door, with a pleading look on his face and possible flowers in his hand. And as if the universe is messing with me, a knock sounded at the door. "I'll get it babe!" Avi called out from the front of the house.
I listened closely, standing up so that I could near the front door. There's no way Vic is here right now. There's no way. "Um- hi," I froze where I stood, trying to grip my phone so it wouldn't drop from utter shock. That can't be Vic, there's no way.
"Who are you?" Avi asked, and I found myself asking the same question. I emerged from behind the wall, walking straight towards the front door when I saw him. Vic. My eyes widened and I felt my phone that I was trying so hard to grip slip from my grasp as I stated at a pair of familiar brown eyes. "Babe, do you know him?" Vic's eyes widened at the use of the word.
"Y-yes," I gulped, stepping next to Avi. Shivers went down my spine. How'd he get here? "Avi this is Vic- the baby's father, and Vic, this is Avi- my b-boyfriend," I felt guilty as the words left my mouth. Vic and I aren't together, why should I even feel the slightest guilty that I'm with Avi? Avi looked at me, then at Vic, confusion in his eyes.
"He's the father?" He choked out, chipping off little pieces of my heart. I feel so guilty in this situation, like I've done a terrible crime and escaped from prison, now living in some secluded area from all my issues. "I think-I think I should give you two time alone," Avi concluded, reaching over to plant a kiss on the side of my head. "Call me if you need anything," I nodded and watched as Avi walked out the door, past Vic.
Vic invited himself in, closing the door behind him. "How'd you find me?" I questioned, the whole situation seeming insane.
"Your post, about going to New York. I know that in such a big city you wouldn't want to live in the center of it all, so I knew to look in the out skirts." I nodded, pushing away the butterflies I felt as Vic stepped closer to me. The way he looked at me with tired, sunken eyes made me want to reach up and kiss him. But it was my decision in the first place to leave, so now I'm here. "Your almost to nine months, right?" I nodded.
I never realized how calming just his presence was. I don't know what it is about him, maybe the way he speaks, it his enter smile, or the way he's standing, but despite the awkward situation we're in, I feel comfortable. "Do you want something to drink?" My voice this time came out quiet, unsure about what to say.
"Sure," I nodded, scampering off the the kitchen to make both of us a coffee. He followed me in, leaning on the counter beside me. "I'm sorry," I looked over and quickly looked away, not wanting to meet eyes with his teary ones.
"For what?" I feel like I already know the answer.
"You know," I nodded, wiping away the non-existent tears from under my eyes as I stirred Vic's coffee.
"Here," Vic grabbed the coffee from my hands, a shiver going up my arm as his finger tips brushed mine. As cheesy as it sounds, I know he felt it too. I lifted the coffee to my lips, taking a sip and favoring the taste of it.
"Perfect," Vic and I said at the same time, a chuckle escaping his lips as I looked toward the floor.
"Am I allowed to see the baby?" Vic asked me, the pleasing eyes I expected now making their arrival.
"Of course," Silence lingered in the room.
"How'd you meet your boyfriend?" The last word sprung off his tongue with venom as he looked towards me.
"At McDonalds, our story isn't the most romantic one," a dry chuckle left his lips.
"You can say that again," I couldn't help but laugh a little at Vic's words. Even in the most awkward situations he could make anybody feel comfortable. I know I've said it before, but it's more than true.
"Are you dating anybody?" I didn't want to know the answer to that question, for some reason.
"No," he trailed off, looking at me before looking at the liquid in his cup. "I quit my job- or activities I guess, after you left, and worked at Walmart." I chuckled a bit. He hates Walmart. "I know, worst job ever. But I didn't want to continue that, and I didn't want to start a relationship either." I nodded, hiding my small smile with the rim of the coffee cup.
"I mean, why would I be in a relationship when I love someone else?" And just like that, my heart broke in a thousand pieces. It's clear to me that I still live Vic, but I have Avi now, and I have to remember that. And Vic now just made it clear that he loves me, or still does.
But is he referring to me? I'm in a relationship with Avi, and yet I still have love for Vic. The live for Vic I have been shoving away from me, but now that he here, right next to me, I can't help but love the man I even knew in my dreams. But for now, I have to push that away and remember the thing I've been telling myself for months.
I have Avi.
