Open Marriage [PUBLISHED]

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:WILDER HAD A CRUSH ON ME?

IVY'S POINT OF VIEW.

"You are so dramatic." I gasped pretending that's the first time I have heard that description of me.

"I am not." And that's what I say to everyone that calls me that.

Cole and I are lying down, cuddling reliving old memories. I love this position, his hands around me, under the covers, my head on his chest.

"Oh please, you went all off when you asked me to marry you." Yeah, I asked him to marry me.

Here's how it went down, Cole and I were on a date and I honestly thought he was going to ask me to marry him, so I said yes excitedly, turned out he wasn't going to ask. So I did then and there, I wasn't going to wait for him, he was taking too long.

"You went all off when you asked me on our first date."

"I never asked you out on our first date, you did." I looked up at him in confusion, I remember him almost shitting in pants when he asked me out.

I don't remember ever asking him out.

"Your memory must be fuzzy, you asked me out." I sat up, having a proper view of his face.

What?                                     

"No, I was going to but you did." I raised my eyebrows, trying to understand what he's saying.

"You did, "I argued.

"You really don't remember? I bought flowers and everything to ask you out, which by the way is one of the boldest decisions I have ever made." He brings the blanket up to his chest. " Then, of course, I met Wilder and he made fun and tried stuffing my flowers into the trash, I put up a fight and you came, fuming at Wilder and asked me out in front of him, staring him right in the face." Wait is that what happened? I don't seem to recall.

"Really?"

"Yeah, at one point I was thinking you were only with me to piss Wilder, you guys hated each other. I don't even understand how that worked." Wait, what? I don't even understand where this is coming from?. My hate for Wilder had nothing to do with asking Cole out back then.

"Of course not," I assured, looking him right in the eye, so he could see how serious I am.

"Well, I know that now." He smiled.

He puts his arms around me, resuming our cuddling position.

"I know." He whispered again as he plants a kiss on my head.

I couldn't help it but my mind wandered off thinking about what Cole said.

Was it really like that?

I couldn't sleep, I just kept on thinking and thinking, just then I heard my phone ring.

It's probably Meghan, she's to arrive in the morning, I took out my phone heading to the bathroom not to disturb Cole's sleep.

I checked my phone to see the last person that I thought will call me, my twin sister.

Lili.

I rolled my eyes, picking up the call. I stared at my self in the mirror getting ready for my sister to annoy me like she usually does.

I appreciate the vacation but I was hoping not to talk to her for a very long time.

"What's up girl?"

"I am good." It's not like my sister is someone I can vent to, she will make it all about her and rub it in that her life is perfect.

Her life is actually perfect by the way, she sent me pictures of the Porsche Jason got her for not being able to spend the summer with her. Have you know, the only time my twin and I talk is when she got new stuff she wants to brag about.

"No seriously, what's up?" Maybe she noticed through my voice that I am not okay.

That's the first.

Lily is self-involved, she never notices anyone but herself ever since when we were kids.

"Hmm..." I was about to explain but she interrupted.

"You are in Cuba and your Instagram is stale as fuck." There I thought she's actually going to behave like a normal human being for a day.

Obviously, I thought wrong.

"Oh," I said in disappointment.

"Yes, where are the pictures girl? You still have pictures from your pregnancy of Kitty, those were not your good moments." I was fucking hot during pregnancy, what's she talking about?

"Didn't you block me on Instagram?" I recall her indirectly calling me a cow and how she can't see my pictures anymore.

That's not the first time she blocked me on social media even in real life, back in high school she tells everyone I am adopted.

Bitch, we look alike.

"Yeah, I unblocked you to see pics from the vacation but nothing."  I rolled my eyes once again.

"Is your phone camera bad? I noticed you still use your iPhone 6, I can send a better one to you, think of it as an early birthday gift." I see no reason to change my phone, nothing is wrong with it.

Ignored her indirect insult and insinuation that I am poor and focused on more important things.

"Can I ask you a question?" She was also in high school with me so she should know.

"Wait a minute, did you see my recent picture? I sent it on your WhatsApp?" Yes, I did and I wish I can unsee it.

"Hot." I set aside my own opinion about her nudity and said what she needed to hear.

"I know right, " She's probably smirking at the moment. "So what did you want to ask?"

"Do you think I asked Cole out back then to piss of Wilder? I don't know why Cole apparently thinks so. Isn't that crazy?" I asked.

"You could ask a frog out at that period to piss of Wilder, you guys hated each other and you knew Wilder had a crush on you, everyone knew." I knew that Wilder was an ass but I don't think I asked Cole out to annoy Wilder, I asked him out because I liked him.

Wait a minute, Wilder had a crush on me?

"What's with the questions? Is Wilder there?" She asked. 

"What?"

"He kinds of owns the resort so, I figured he might be there."

Does Wilder own this place?

I decided to write something real quick for Valentine (sorry is short). Happy Valentine's Day guys.
