My Love for Auction (MLFA 1)

MLFA Chapter 20

Chapter Twenty

I sat on the hotel bed, staring at an old wooden dressing table, I could see my own reflection, there was tears streaming down my face, my eyes looked red and puffy, I was a mess.

I looked at my phone not one call or message, that's how pitiful my life was, I was alone, nowhere to live, two weeks off work for Christmas, spending it in a cheap hotel room with no one to share it with. This is not how I seen my life would have turned out.

I left my cases at the door, and fell asleep in my work clothes on top of the bed sheets.

The next morning, I opened my eyes to see my phone in my hand, I must of falling asleep with it there not knowing, I looked at the screen, the battery was flat, there was no point charging it, no one was going to call me.

I felt awful sitting up, then I could feel myself wanting to hurl, quickly I ran to the toilet to be sick, this is all I needed to be ill, I stripped for a shower, to freshen up and to start thinking what to do? Number one, where to stay over the holidays? Her grandparents' home still hadn't had tenants, a wise decision would be to stay there and she wouldn't be spending money she can't afford on this hotel room, my bags are still packed, today would be good as any to go back to Little Hampton.

I checked out of the hotel room and made my way to the train station, I caught the train to Little Hampton and sat on the seat close to the window, I placed my bag in the seat next to me, I just stared at the scenery not taking in anything , the journey was quiet, but all was on my mind was Mitch, my stomach was in knots, my head was all over the place, but what hurt the most was my heart, when they say heartbreak, boy do they mean it, it's painful, like you lose a part of yourself and nothing else matters.

I managed to get to the cottage, thankfully I remembered to pack my keys when I cleared out of Mitch's hotel suite.

I unpack and just laid down on my bed for hours thinking, when I finally lifted myself up I felt giddy, to think about it yesterday felt a lifetime away, so much happened, how happy I was when I had my lunch, now it's just gone.

After a lot of debating I decided to go outside and visit the local stores for a few things. I went around the isle's, not paying too much attention, I managed to pick up the necessities and paid for them and walked out of the stores with two bags of groceries not looking where I was going and walked into a hard chest....

Mitch's POV

"That was painful man?" Blake was talking about our extra-long meeting.

"Tell me about it" I started to rub my eyes,

"Do want to go to the bar?"

"Great, order me a drink, I'm going to call Cole, see how she's doing?" I just want hear her voice before I turn in for the night.

"Isn't it late"

"Yeah, your right I will call her in the morning" that was disappointing but Blake is right.

Blake smirked at me while he waits by the bar.

"What?" what is he thinking?

"Who would have thought you and her"

"I'm not catching on to what you mean"

"I'm not judging, I actually like Cole, not like her. It's nice to see you happy"

"When you say her, you mean Ali?"

"Yep, I can't stand her, I was worried when you said you were in still contact with her and met her few weeks ago?"

"Nothing happened?"

"Did you tell Cole?"

"No, I feel bad not telling Cole, but I didn't want to compromise our relationship" it's been eating me up, but I didn't want to tell Cole, she gave up her apartment and agreed to marry, I didn't want to jeopardize that?
