twist of time (18+)

Thirty-two

The house jiggled and danced to the sad music that filled her room, as the train passed behind her place. It was a nice and cozy tropical Sunday. The warmth seeped from the window, as sunlight bathed the swaying pine trees, houses, and a lot of flower shrubs that scattered just outside the windows, exactly beside the train track that went behind her room. She rented this room, not because this is small but cozy, but also because the sight was amazing, beach, train, and the flower pink shrubs.

Watching the train passed by, and left, her hand reached her phone, swiped it open and clicked chat application. Ronnie's face was there as the background. She snorted in disgust and changed it to cat picture. Her long manicured finger clicked phone and saw May's name in her history, deleted it. Emitting a low sigh, she looked out to the swaying flower shrub.

"The pink and purple flower is so beautiful, isn't it? "May wiggled her brows.

"Yess, May you picked up the most beautiful place!" 

"I know you will like it!" She smiled. "And you can see the beach, look!" 

"Oh my God , you are right! I can see the dock! And the beach!"

Biting her lips, something warm brimmed in her eyes as she remembered how she hugged the girl and felt very happy. Wiping her eyes she sighed,  stood and pour some of the coffee on the coffee maker to her mug, brought it to the table beside the window, and continued her sightseeing.  Britney bit her lips.

From all the fucking friends I have, the first person that I would trust for anything will be you May. And the last person that I will suspect to stab my back was also you. Yet...

The hot and aromatic steam touched her face and freshen it before she brought the smoky mug to her lips. She sipped a little bit of the liquid, bit her lips that threaten to spill sniffles.

You know, it felt really hurt May, especially when I fucking really care, damn it. You are more than friends to me.

Her hand massages her temple to ease her headaches. She took another deep breath. 

Someone knocked on her door.

"Yes?"

"It's me" A male voice.

Ronnie.

"Go home, I don't want to see you" A tear rolled down her cheek, and she held her head with her hand.

"I want to ask forgiveness"

"What for? You dumped me." She answered calmly, while the silvery tears streaming down her cheek.

"Yeah I know" He answered, heavily.

"Dumped me cos you want my best friend." Britney looked up, bit her lips to quell her sobs.

"She's just a slut. I was wrong to ditch you in the first place." Ronnie hit the door with his fist.

Britney couldn't answer that.

A desperate voice heard behind the door. "She seduced me! You have to believe me!"

"Then why didn't you with her? Didn't you say that you want to be with her, and that was why it has to be over between us?"

He took a deep breath. "She is crazy. She attacked me and angry when I said I dumped you"

Britney laughed between her tears.

As expected from May. The one that is so unexpected is the fact that she's the one that makes him cheat on me.

"Baby, you forgive me right?"

"Not a chance" She whispered.

"Baby, answer me"

Britney played with her mug and yell.  "NEVER" 

"Baby? I won't be with her. The whole thing with her is nothing."

She lazily got up from her chair and went to the door, talked without even opening it. "I don't understand why you even try to get back to me this soon. I don't." She folded her hand and sighed. "What I am, a leftover?"

Ronnie sighed, and when the door moved a bit, Britney knew that he leaned on that, thinking hard.

"Baby... you're not a left over. I just, when I ask to end our relationship I just thought that I  ... "

"You feel you win a lottery that you hooked up with a hotter girl like her right? So you thought that if you dumped me, maybe she will consider becoming your girlfriend?"

Ronnie fell silent.

"I knew it" Britney walked to the bed and hugged her pillow, crying silently.

"Baby..."

"Go away. It is over between us." She said between sobs.

"...No, let me explain..."

"No, you know what it means? You never really like me that much. I just someone in between before you got another girl that you really like. Go away!"

Ronnie sighed followed by footsteps fading out, further from the door.

Her hand groped the table and took her phone. Scrolled down, she found May number and deleted it. She wiped her tears and dialed.

"Hello, Lana? Want a girl night at my place?"
