Breathless Love | Asensio

Chapter 23

Carmen's Pov

*Ding dong*

I heard the door bell ring. Isco and i were in the bedroom and he was sleeping.

"Who is that?" I muttered to myself and got down from the bed,walking downstairs to the front door. Tidying my hair,i opened the door without asking who it was. It was probably Marco.

"Hey."

My heart skipped a beat when i saw the person at the door step. I didn't know when i stared the person in the eyes.

It was my best friend. She,who i haven't seen in 3 whole years. No contacts,no phone calls,nothing.

Fabiola stood there with a faint smile on her lips and a happy glow in her eyes.

I was still holding onto the knob,  shocked.

I had mixed feelings. I was upset and happy at the same time. Upset,she didn't make any move to contact me. Happy,she was back.

She dropped her bag and rushed to me in a quick hug which i couldn't resist. A tear dropped from my eyes and i could hear her sob lightly.

We stayed there hugging each other,eyes closed,door still open. I couldn't believe she eventually came back.

"I'm so sorry,Carmen. Please forgive me my dear friend." She whispered into my ear.

Fabiola pulled away from the hug and kept her eyes low. I wiped the tear in my eye.

"Come in." I said to her. She walked in with her bag and i offered to help her with one.

She walked in swiftly and placed her bag beside the door.

Pulling her to the dining chair,i sat opposite her.

"Start Talking." I ordered.

"Listen Carmen. First of all,i want to apologize. I didn't mean to do all this."

"3 years? You didn't mean that? Wow." I laughed hysterically.

"Jose was on my neck. Marco said he wanted space. That really hit me in the heart." She touched her chest area. A tear wanted to drop but she wiped it off,sniffing . "I said i wouldn't cry anymore and that's for sure."

I just looked at her. She has really changed these past years. Looking radiant as always.

"You haven't finished fabiola."

"Yes. So i went to Milan,Italy. With the money i had,i was able to settle there. Weeks later,i applied for a job at FILA and i got it. I wss surprised i must say but they were willing to trust me. I began working there,and yeah everything changed for the better. Jose found me but later left."

"That idiot found you?"

"Yes. But he's married now." She smiled. "He's been a friend."

I scoffed. "And me? Marco? What did you think? We had it easy? Of course not!"

She touched my hand. "I'm really sorry." She gave me a pleading smile. "Forgive me?"

I looked away. "Carmen?" She stared at me.

"Oh! I can't deceive myself. I still love you!" I rammed into her and we hugged,laughing.

"Te quiero mucho,mi Mejor amiga." She said.

I smiled at her.

"Carmen?"

I looked back and saw Isco.

His eyes widened. "Fabiola?!" He cleared his eyes. "No way!"

We laughed.
