My Dearest Ex-Wife, |✔️

Chapter Two

Audrey's POV
I glance at my phone, waiting for a text or call from Luca. He is supposed to call me so I can say goodnight to the boys. I nervously tapped my foot. Of course he won't call because he always forgets, like usual. I let a tear slip from my eye. I quickly smeared it away. You can't always be so strong echoed Maggie's voice in my head. She doesn't know how it feels to be weak and lonely.

My phone rang. "Hey, Luca," I said, wiping my tears with my hand. "Are you okay?" He asked, seeming concerned. I ignored him for a few minutes. "Audrey, I'm so sorry that I failed you and hurt you." He said with a pained voice. "Are the boys awake?" I asked, changing the subject. "No." He said too quietly. I wish I could tell you how I feel, but I can't be used again. I kept repeating the words I wanted to say, but I couldn't get them formulated. "Luca?" I asked, biting my lip. "Yes, Audrey?" He said.

I stared disappointedly in the mirror. I'm so pathetic. I hung up the phone. Ugh. I looked over at my phone. 4 missed calls. What the heck. I call back. Anxiously tapping my foot. "What?" I ask, annoyed. "You hung up on me?" He said with a chuckle at the end. "Oh right," I say through gritted teeth. "Luca, listen to me. I can't do this." I say, looking down at my feet.

"Audrey, I love you so much." He said, starting to cry. "I'm so sorry, baby." He said again, letting his sobs escape. "It's not okay," I said, wiping my own tears away. "I don't know what to do," I said, moving on to my bed. "I'll try anything and everything to win you back." He said sternly. "I don't think that will work," I said, rolling my eyes. "How do you know?" He said.

"Go on a date with me. Please, I'll show you." He said persistently. "No," I said, getting mad. He breathed heavily. "Audrey." He said softly. "No, Luca," I said.  I remember when he used to whisper my name like that every night. I traced my lips. The tingle he left is still there. "Just give me a chance." He said, pleading. "I don't know," I said, as if I was asking. "Then I'll try to get you to say yes." He said confidently. "Okay?" I said, confused.

"You know I will win and I will get you back." He said excitedly. "I miss you so much. I love you so much. I can't live without you, Audrey Blair Moretti." He said. "I have to go. Goodnight, Luca." I said sadly. I hung up the phone. I want him back. I love him so much. Ugh. Decisions. My heart says yes, but my mind says no. I lay in bed and waited patiently until I drifted off to sleep.
