BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 36. Edited.

"So, see you soon..." I answered back smiling.

We said goodbye and I hung up.

Next day I had to go to the magazine's office because Jolene was going to tell me what I had to write this time. I walked through the hall and there was Matt. I hadn't seen him since last year; literally.

"Linda!" he hugged me. "Long time no see," he was always smiling.

A little girl ran behind him and I recognised her, she was the little girl that gave me the chocolate. She hugged Matt's leg; she was his daughter, then a woman like about 30 years old came behind her. She was alike to the little girl's grandma so maybe she was her mom.

"She is Lily, my daughter and Lana my wife."

Both of them were more than pretty, he was a very nice man and he deserved the best family ever. It was obvious he had it. I greeted them.

"Did you eat the chocolate?" the girl asked me.

"Actually I," I didn't. I toss it away when Emily scared me when she called me.

"You didn't," she snapped. "I made it with my own hands and it was delicious," she was mad.

"What?" Matt asked me laughing.

"I knew before your girl. We met in a bus station and she gave me a chocolate." I explained.

"Because she was crying," the girl added.

"Were you?" someone asked behind me.

"Yeah," Lily answered, "because of a Harry hoe. Mom, what's that?" she lifted her head and her mom opened her eyes.

Oh, my god. I taught a little girl a curse. I turned around and there was Carter, staring at me with concerned eyes. A little girl just betrayed my feelings in front of my ex-boss and Carter.

"I'm hungry daddy, let's go for my happy meal," Lily complained.

"Well, see you soon guys," Matt said, "I must feed this little thing."

He said goodbye and walked away with his family. I was still where I had been since I arrived and I knew Carter was behind me.

"Why were you crying?" he asked me.

"That girl is crazy... she is starving so she can say whatever comes to her mind. According to some doctors-"

Carter interrupted me.

"Linda, why were you crying for Harry?"

"I wasn't crying for him," I didn't need to answer this but after these 'dates' we've had maybe he had the right to know "a girl from college called me a hoe and I was crying because of it,"

"Hoe?" he was surprised "why? Who?"

"A girl, I don't know who. And because she said I was the new hoe to Harry," I wanted to cry.

"Why?" he hugged me.

"The same reason you told me the other day I slept with him," I didn't want to say so but I didn't it.

I pulled him away.

"I truly am sorry... I never meant to make you feel bad. I just don't think that boy is for you. Look what he has done to you, you are always hurt and he doesn't like you like I do,"

Oh, not now. Hell no.

"Carter..." I sighed.

"Okay I know," he looked away, "just believe me when I say you are just suffering for nothing." he snapped.
