~Leila's P.O.V.~
I sit staring at the person who has caused so much havoc in my life right now. Her acrylic nails tapping the small wooden table. The table is the only thing ,that's keeping me from reaching over it and pulling her hair out. A grin sits on her face,as the waiter takes our drink orders. The waiter walks away and we sit in silence. I'm trying my best not to slap that smile off of her face, but I know that this isn't just her fault. Ethan knew what he was doing,when he slept with her.
"What do you want with me,Leila?" She asks.
"Why, Rebecca?" I ask.
"Why what?"
"Why did you take the only thing I have away?" I ask.
"Oh please,Leila. You have it all. You have everything. You have the company,the money,and the ring." She says.
"I do,but none of that stuff matters to me." I say.
"It matters to me. You haven't had to lift a finger a day in your life. That's not fair to the people who actually work." She says.
I sit up in my seat,appalled by the things she's saying.
"First off,you don't even know me. The only things that you know about,are what you see from the outside. Yes,my company was passed down to me but that doesn't mean I wouldn't work any less harder if it wasn't mine. You sit here and have the audacity to say something like that to me,but you don't work for anything either. You're sleeping with a married man,just so you can feel better about yourself." I say.
I start to walk away from her,but she calls me back to the table.
"Leila,wait!" She says.
"What?" I say.
"Stay,please." She pleads.
"Why should I? You have showed me that you are nothing,but an immature little girl." I say.
I sit back down,across from her.
"I know what I did was wrong,and I'm so sorry." She says.
I can hear the sincerity in her voice. She truly is sorry for what she did,but that doesn't matter because what's done is done.
"I know you're sorry,but do you have any idea what you caused. There are dishes smashed,from me and Ethan's last encounter. Pictures snatched out the frame. I scratched out your name and your face. What is it about you that I can't erase?" I ask.
She doesn't answer me. She stares at my face.
"You're in love with him. Aren't you?" I ask.
She nods her head quickly.
"I can tell by the look in your eyes. You are head over heels for him. It breaks my heart knowing that you love him,but I know he loves you too." I say.
"What are you saying?" She asks.
"I'm saying that I will find love again,but you have found love in someone that isn't yours. So, I will gladly step away from this situation." I say.
"What?" She asks.
"I'm divorcing Ethan."
****
Baptize me...
...now that reconciliation is possible.
If we're gonna heal, let it be glorious.
One thousand girls raise their arms.
Do you remember being born?
Are you thankful?
Are the hips that cracked...
...the deep velvet of your mother...
...and her mother...
...and her mother?
There is a curse that will be broken.
