Leahs pov

Never have I wanted someone this bad. It's almost halfway to week three without her. I stopped texting her. I felt like I was being that crazy ex. But she still views my stories and likes my posts. It's like she wants me but doesn't. So confusing.

"Leah..I have a mission for you to go on today" my boss says. "Where to boss?" I say with sarcasm. "Same place. Drop off these papers to that foot massage woman" he joked. "Oh..wow. Haven't been there in a while." "Yeah. Well consider it a reunion with her" he says and places the papers on my desk and leaves.

The sad thing is that, that could've been my chance to see Jen again. But she doesn't work there anymore..

I later arrived to the building and walked in to find the new receptionist. A guy.

"Hi. I'm here to drop these off from Mr. Chapman." I said to him and he got confused.

"I'm his secretary. I come here all the time" I said. "I'm sorry but there's no Mr. Chapman in our files."

"No! I-" I pause and breathed. "I'm from Chapman. He had me come here to your company to drop these off." I said. "And your name?"

"Leah remini..usually when I come here that wouldn't matter." I said. "Just a sec" he says and starts typing. I sigh and roll my eyes and looked away. Then saw Jacob walking.

"Hey" I said with a tone. He looks at me and nervously waves. "H-hey!" He says and walks over attempting to hug me but I pushed him off.

"You're fucking sick. You caused me to lose Jennifer and also! You could've gotten me pregnant!"

"Okay let's not get crazy now." He says. "You fucking asshole. I get you're a man whore but don't start ruining people's relationships! Why can't you just be with Camila and move on?!"

"Well..actually we're dating now"

"I-well- good.." I said.

"Ma'am" the receptionist says. "Tell your new coworker that I come here all the time and I'm just tryna drop these off so I can get back to work" I said to Jacob.

"Fine" he groans. Then he talked to him and convinced him that I wasn't fucking around and I'm actually here for a reason. So I walked over to the lady's office and dropped them off. She's not even in here. She's at a meeting. Oh well. I could leave. I did what I had to do.

After work I went home. Poured myself some wine and relaxed on my couch while watching TV. I forgot how boring it is to not be with someone. I mean I use to be so busy before I met Jennifer but I pushed so many things off for her and it's made it's way into my routine. But now that we're not together it's different.

A few minutes into a good show I was watching and my phone lights up. I see a picture of me and Jennifer kissing since that's her contact photo and then her name on top. She's calling me? Why?

"Hello?"

"Hey.." she says with a sad soft tone.

"Hi" I responded.

"I-i-i miss you.." she says. I put mine glass of wine down and laid back onto my couch. "Yeah? So you come back to me and I nicely respond but when I say I miss you, you leave me on read?" I said.

"I'm sorry" she says.

"I am too but nobodies forgiving anyone these days are they?"

"Leah.."

"I've been through shit so this better be worth the call." I said.

"It is! I-can I just come over? Or something?..I don't know" she says sounding doubtful.
