Thankfully the next day was Saturday which meant I got to stay at home in pj's and wallow in my despair by watching 'The Great Gatsby' and well crying yet again. I think every girl wants a guy to love them as much as Gatsby loved the oh so undeserving Daisy.
By around 12 I got hungry again and had exhausted all my supplies, I begged Celine to go out and restock but she refused , thinking I could use some fresh air in my lungs. I on the other hand disagreed and was perfectly content with my new living arrangement , basically never leaving the apartment. But due to circumstance that being my growling tummy I went out and I encountered what I feared most right outside my door, Mikhail.
"we need to talk" He said with a sudden urgency in his whipsy voice
"so talk I'm listening" was all I managed to say and resisting the urge to retreat instantly
" what happened last night was a mistake , I am sorry and it won't happen again" He said , short , blunt and straight to the point.
I knew I'd regretted it but hearing him call it a mistake severed my heart , but if there's one thing I have learned is never let them see what you're true feelings , they just use it to their advantage.
'whatever you say , I should go now" I said while swallowing the huge lump in throat
I ran to the elevator as fast as I could before shedding a tear , one tear is all I managed . I was stronger than that and I was not going to be feeble and weep over a pathetic boy. It was done , there's no going back , only forward towards my better and brighter future.

I couldn't believe how fast time went by , truly in the blink of an eye , it was already early November and things in my quaint little hallway had settled. Tom and Celine were about to celebrate their two month anniversary by having a dinner at Nando's. Things with myself and Mikhail were none existent apart from acknowledging each others presence for the sake of Tom and Celine , but I still wasn't mentally prepared for that bloody anniversary dinner. Why couldn't they be a normal couple and do this mushy stuff alone.
After seeing Celine dress to impress , I decided to do the same , I could use a night out , in fact I deserved it! Black skinny jeans , a blue top with a pearl encrusted collar and tailored blazer is what I dawned. I was not a girly girl or a tomboy , I was kind of just on the borderline.

I'd just like to make a toast , non alcoholic of course , to my amazing girlfriend Celine, you make me laugh , you make me happy and you're the only girl who I will watch a chick flick for" Tom said
You didn't have to listen to Tom's toast to know he was in love with Celine , you could see it in his eyes when he looked at her.
I was sadly seated across Mikhail , seeing as it was only the 4 of us and we didn't breathe a word to each other.
" soo" he said
"soo what?"
"what's new lately?"
why did he even bother asking?
"oh you know the usual , entertaining my many suitors, getting my hair and nails done and just being the fabulous person that I am" I said layering thick with sarcasm
" you could at least try to at civil , it's just a question" he said trying get his point across and failing miserably at that
" I preferred it when we didn't talk at all , because honestly it's none of your damn business" I almost yelled
he has no right to even look at me after all this time , I was finally starting to forget.
^^
so there it is , next up a trip back home for a wedding and Christmas for Celine
