The Woman Dividing |GagaxCooper

I guess you're Staying

Stefani

Of course, I made a promise I did not want to follow through with. Having a general conversation about the last four days with Bradley was not on my agenda for "Getting back to California to deal with things". Let alone do I want to be alone in the same room with him.

This was the man I used to stay up late on top of the late nights on set thinking about. This man gave me butterflies every time he laid a finger against my skin. This man was the reason I left my Fiancé.

Now I can't even be around him without wanting to literally-

"Stefani please look at me" Bradley was leaning against my old desk in my childhood room

I was facing the window that looked over the busy streets of New York.

"Stefani Please" he whimpered again

"I have nothing to say to you"

"You don't need to say a word. Let me tell you everything I know" he stayed in his position, but I could tell he wanted to get closer to me

"Explain what? Why you literally had me shipped off the moment I came back into your life?" I faced him

"No!" he defended himself pretty quickly "It was Irina I swear-"

"Give it a break! You don't have to make up an erratic excuse" I looked him in his eyes.

Let me pause for a moment to just talk about this mans eyes... Jesus, they could sail a billion ships and make you instantly fall in love with him. These eyes could do wonders. When you're staring at them for a bad reason all you want to do is change your emotions. Okay, continue.

"Irina told me everything!" he quickly blurted "When I came home a cop was there holding my child and Irina was in the shower" his once beautiful blue eyes were now full of rage

"She told me thing's that I did not want to hear, and then when she said you left the country I needed to call you" his eyes glossed over "she had your phone and I knew instantly you were in danger"

I couldn't believe what he was saying.

"I am so sorry what she did to you" he stood up and walked closer to me

My body was numb. I couldn't even move if I tried.

"Bradley" I whispered

He didn't reply.

All he did was close the gap between us with a hug.

A fucking hug.

"I really don't want to be touched" my voice was a whisper down three octaves

"I know. I just want you to know that I..." he stopped himself

"You what?" I pulled away

"It's not the right time to say it yet" he frowned

I instantly knew what word he was holding back from saying.

"Stefani if only I would've ended things the exact moment I knew I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life this all would've been so much easier" his voice full of pain
