He's My Ruthless Billionaire

Chap. 23

Errin Blake

      It had been six months since I had seen Stella. I refused to see her and don't worry, I have been doing good. She said that she couldn't fight for me, so was her love strong enough for me as she said it was?

I called bullshit on this charade that we had, I punched the boxing bag. I was in my home gym putting all my burdens on anything I could find. I was really discountenanced by the whole situation. She broke my heart. I didn't know how she was doing but she must be doing well.

Feeling tired, I stopped and sat on the floor. Leon tried talking to me but why should I? I love her and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't remember. She reminded me of what it felt like to have your heart hurt every time you hear her name or see a picture of her.

I was stressed out but no one knew that because of the facade I built which made you feel like I was the happiest man alive. The worst part was I became drunk on work, totally neglecting that I'm human.

Sex? Haven't had any, just the last time with Stella.

Nevertheless, I needed to get to work because I had things to sort out before the charity benefit party that I was hosting later on in the day.

Some days I glimpsed her strolling through the stores if I was meeting with someone downtown. I won't deny the fact that I miss her...so much.

Kane would look at me and shake his head but held his tongue. No one spoke of Stella after I told them that we broke up. We gallivanted as though they didn't know I was one hurt kitten. I went through so much and she just declared it so easily to me that she couldn't, she had to go.

I remembered the night vividly however I wish not to reminisce. She sobbed so loudly when I told her, it didn't make any sense if she couldn't just enjoy my company without us being together.

"Rebecca, tell Kane that I'll be back around 6." I told my maid before leaving the house.

Currently on my way to the office, my mind kept drifting telling me to go and see her. I wasn't going to because a part of me knew she was coming to this fundraiser tonight.

Going up to my office, I was on edge now. She would be there, I knew it. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw her. I rubbed my eyes a little, wondering if I was in a dream dilemma.

She smiled at me, she looked so beautiful. I wanted to hug her but knowing the situation I couldn't because it would just be too much.

Proves my point, she had been doing well...

"You look well Stella." She closed her eyes before looking at me once more, "As do you Errin."

"I came here to talk."

I sighed, "How did you know I'd be here?"

"It was a chance that I was willing to take plus Kane told me that you might." She said a bit flustered.

Guess I needed to have a talk with Kane.

She took a seat as I followed on the couch, "So the Charity Benefit for Phillips Children Hospital tonight..." I nodded, "I know you're hosting the event..." She smiled, "And I'll be attending..." I felt my heart heaved a bit.

"I was thinking that you would be while I was on my way here."

She run her hands over her skirt and sighed, "I just wanted you to know so that there wouldn't be any awkward vibe."

I laughed, "Isn't this awkward enough?"

She forced a smile but I could see that this, the situation was taking a lot from out of her, "Pretty much."

She got up and grabbed her handbag, "You know you could have just called me?"

She laughed and it was just music to my ears, "Would you have answered?"

"Probably not..." I trailed and she shrugged, "you could have left a message."

She exhaled loudly, this conversation must be really depressing.

"I wanted to see you Errin. God I missed you." She started to cry, oh my Jesus - this was the exact thing I was running away from. I got up and took her in my arms. Such a foreign feeling, I missed it.

My heart was so putty when it came to Stella, I tried to keep a tough exterior as I soothed her. "Shh baby..."

She held my shirt for dear life and cried harder. I decided that I'd just open up myself too and tell her, "I missed you too Stella." I felt her body relax a bit as she remained silently sobbing. I also decided to go in for the kill and ask what had been eating me out the whole morning, "Will you be my date tonight?"

She pulled and looked at me, "Really?"

"Will you?"

She eagerly nodded, I had to stop myself from laughing.

"Well go on Stella, bet you have a lot you need to do before our date tonight." I kissed her temple. Such a wuss...

She smiled before hugging me again and I allowed her to due to my nostalgia.

I didn't know why I had done what I did. I said that I wouldn't but its hard for me to let her go. I just loved her so much, I couldn't help myself...

Walking into my office, I felt exasperated and as soon as I closed the door, I cried...I cried because it was something that was so overdue for me...I let myself cry for what I was missing out on, I let myself cry for not giving her what she wanted and I cried to know that her love for me wasn't as strong as she thought it was or is....she left me out in the cold, she couldn't fight for me and it hurt like a motherfucker... and the tears never stopped...

I was right... They were long overdue.
