Buzz Buzz.

Harry’s phone vibrated on his night stand. He lay face down on his bed, but turned to reach out for the phone at the sound. Seeing Mari’s face light up on screen, with the text reading “We need to talk.”

He sat up quickly as he felt his stomach fall.

“He typed back, Can I call you?”

And a few minutes later he got a  ‘Yes’ as an answer. He took a deep breath before he clicked the phone icon by her number and the phone started to ring.

“Hey.” She answered with a dry tone.

“Hey baby. How are you?” Harry said nervously.

“Look we aren’t going to push this aside like we always do, so you can stop your whole bubbly talk. There has been too many coincidences Harry, this is serious. If I’m being completely honest here I’m tired of it. Yeah, I do know what I signed up for when we got into this relationship. Of course I love you I just… I know we aren’t supposed to believe what we read but when they have proof in pictures, it’s really hard not to. How could you? Does this relationship, me, not mean anything to you? Don’t give me the excuse of I was drunk. I will not accept it. You kissed this woman in a very public place; did you really think no one was going to find out? That I wasn’t going to find out. Was I going to have to bring her up again for you to tell me what had happened, would you tell me about the kiss if nothing had been published? It hurts Harry, a lot.” Mari said and breathed out profoundly.

Harry rubbed his face before starting.

“I wasn’t going to use I was drunk as an excuse babe. Yeah, we did hang out that night but everyone was there. I walked her home and before I knew it she was pulling me in for a kiss. I pushed her away. I didn’t kiss her back.”

“Oh, okay. Did you talk to her after that? ” Mari asked

“No I have not.”

“Okay?”

“Look, I’m sorry I never tell you first when I see her before you bring her up. It’s not my fault she is so insignificant that I forget about her.”

Silence.

“Look like you said you knew what you signed up for.”

“Excuse me? What are you trying to say? I knew and should except the fact that you will be kissing girls often who are not me, your girlfrend?”

“You are really moody aren’t you?”

“Wow. Seriously Harry? My boyfriend kissed another girl and I found out by looking at a daily magazine. Do you know how stupid I feel?”

“I didn’t mean it..”

“Yeah whatever Harry. I’m going to go.”

“Wait we promised we would never hang up the phone if one of us was mad.”

“Yeah we also promised to never be unfaithful. Too late right?” *click* the line went silent as Mari hung up the phone.

…

……

Two days had pasted since that conversation. Mari had not even tried getting in contact with him and harry had given her, her space. Aside from a night text saying he loved her.

Mari was making food in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door. She turned to face the door, before wiping her hands on her apron and headed to the door. She unlocked and opened it. Standing in front of her was Jade.
