I woke in the afternoon, I really needed to nap after my revelations. Life has totally been an emotional rollercoaster ever since I met Bradley.
Walking in the kitchen to get some water I find Bradley on his laptop with a bunch of paperwork strewn on the kitchen table, I thought he was taking the day off (workaholic).
He looks up and smiles as he see's me walk in. I smile back at him retrieving a bottle of water from the fridge and sitting across from him.
"How are you feeling?", he asks smiling at me.
" I'm good now, thanks"
"You must be hungry, how about you get dressed so we can go out?""OK cool", I say getting up to go change. I notice he is already in jeans, sneakers and a casual v neck T-shirt, he must have changed and waited for me to get up.
I get to the room and quickly freshen up before changing into skinny jeans, sneakers and a casual T-shirt too. I tie my hair up and apply a bit of make-up.
Walking out the room I hear Bradley talking to a familiar voice. What the hell is he doing here. I walk into the living room to find a beat up Bob.
"Luthando!", he exclaims when I walk in. "How are you feeling? I came to apologise about last night, I was drunk and emotion". He says walking towards me, I take a step back and he takes the hint stopping in his tracks looking hurt.
I notice Bradley look angry with his hands balled in a fist." Just say the word if you don't want to talk to him."
"No its fine Bradley", I say." You didn't have to come here Bob"
"I had too, I really love you and I feel like crap hurting you", he says staring into my eyes with a sincere look.
" I'm over it Bob, I'm over last night and I'm over what happened over a year ago", I say realising that I really was.
"I want us back together!" he says walking up to me and taking my hand.
"I can't Bob,not after everything that's happened. After you I decided to go back to my old ways and not date", I say pulling my hand away.
I notice a hurt expression in his face. "I understand but I'm not giving up on you. Can we at least be friends?", he says giving me a weak smile.
" Of course", I say returning the smile.
"If I may ask,what did you mean when you said there is no baby? Did you just say that to hurt me?"
I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me, I look over to Bradley who nods at me giving me strength to talk.
"There is no baby Bob,I had an abortion", I say looking down.
"What?! You killed our baby? How could you do that?", he asks with a hurt expression in his face.
"You left,what was I to do? I couldn't drop out", I say getting angry. He had no right to judge me when he was the one that walked out.
"I would have come back for you. I came back in town and was planning on settling in before looking for you". His words sting making me feel bad about my decision, but how would I have known he would come back.
"That's a lie!".Bradley speaks up, I had forgotten he was in the room.
"You wouldn't have come back, you only came back after you got divorced. Luthando I ran a background check on him. He got married straight after he got a job after varsity. He got divorced three months ago,his wife left him for someone else, and moved here. He is just trying to make you feel bad."I look at him angrily and he lifts his hands in the air in defeat. "Fine that is true but after it did not work with her I really came back for you".
How could I believe him now after he lied?
"Please leave Bob", I said emotionally exhausted.
All I needed from him was an apology for leaving, not excuses and lies.
