I finished curling my hair and pinning it halfway up I searched my closet for a long red silky dress. I tried it on and it fit just right.
I grabbed a pair of black heels and slid them onto my feet. I fixed my makeup and hair and I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good.
I was getting a phone call. I didn't recognize the number so I decided not to answer it.
I grabbed my keys and looked at the time. It was already 6.
So I definitely have enough time to stop by Nicoles and talk to her for a while maybe even update her about how Jack and I are.
Having to drive Jacks car around was annoying but I kind of had no other choice. While I was in the car I was getting a call from Jack. Shit.
I answered immediately, I just hope he wasn't cancelling on me. I really needed this.
"Hey Jack, everything okay" I wondered.
"Yeah everything is fine. I'm on my way back from work, also you never told me where we were going" she admitted.
"I sent you the location of the place we were going" I sighed. "If you would've checked your messages you would've seen it" I mumbled to myself. "Pardon me?" He coughed. "Nothing, forget it" i rolled my eyes.
"Cristina whats the matter? you haven't been acting like yourself lately," Jack admitted.
I mean at least he was noticing my change in attitude. "I'll see you when you get here, goodbye Jack" i hung up the phone before he could say another word. I sighed and drove directly to the restaurant instead of Nicoles.
While on my way to the restaurant i got a text but i didn't wanna look to see who it was from. I just played it safe and waited til i actually arrived outside the place. I parked in the back and saw the text was from Jack, he was letting me know hes inside. What the hell, how? i didn't even question or say anything back. I just grabbed my stuff and headed inside. i walked in there and looked for Jack, i later spotted him right next to a window. He smiled at me and i smiled back.
"Wow, Cristina. You look stunning" He gawked at me. I simply thanked him and sat down. He seemed to already get the menus and our drinks. "You ordered our drinks huh?" I giggled.
He didn't say anything and remained silent. "Listen Cr-" He stopped as he heard i was about to speak. "No, go ahead" I told him to continue. "I was going to say something but i didn't know how to exactly start up this conversation" He sat back in his chair. He stared at the napkin in front of him and worry had overcome my face.
Why was he spacing out like this? Oh my god. He's going to tell me he's having an affair with somebody else. Or even worse, he's in love with Bella. OH my goodness, this is not happening. Okay Cristina, get your shit together let him talk. "okay" i cleared my throat.
"This is why i kind of didn't want to come to dinner, i'd rather discuss this in a more uhm" He coughed and looked around us. "Private place" he gave me a side eye. I scoffed and crossed my arms, sitting back in my chair. I knew it. "If you're leaving me just say it Jack, stop stalling" i said a bit loud.
"What? are you insane?" he said louder. We gained a few looks over at our table but i didn't care.
"Well from the sounds of it, it sounds like you're breaking up with me" i felt my eyes begin to water. He laughed and sat back. He put his head in his hands and sighed. "Cristina, have you- have you lost your fucking mind? what would EVER make you think i was leaving you?" He scooted his chair closer to the table.
I didn't say anything. "Hello? i'm speaking to you, you address me not ignore me" He began getting angry. Oh so now HES angry? Great. This night is going the exact opposite way i wanted it to. I face palmed myself and just sat in my chair. "Forget it" He laughed, i knew he was mocking me from earlier.
Jack stood up and left a twenty dollar bill on the table for drinks im guessing. Is he joking right now? What the hell was his problem, im the one worried about him leaving me for some whore he met or better yet i walk in the house and there Bella is making out with him on our couch.
He stormed out the building and headed to his car. I saw him get in the drivers seat and drive off. I apologized to the waiter and told her there was twenty dollars on the table. I left and got into my car. I unlocked my car doors and started up the car. I backed out carefully into the clear street out by the back and shook my head. God why does it seem like lately all my days have been bad days?
I tried calling Jack but he declined my call. Oh hell no. He absolutely did not just do that. Anger filled through my bloodstream and i rushed home as fast as i could. I took the stairs to the penthouse because i parked out back and i didn't park my car in the garage with all of Jacks other cars.
I walked into the penthouse and saw Jack sitting down at the island staring at a bottle of tequila. i saw him and asked what he was doing. "I'm staring at this bottle of tequila, isn't it obvious?" He gave an attitude. "Don't get smart with me, i'm seriously not in the mood Jack" I whined.
"i'm going to bed" He dragged out as he proceeded to walk upstairs. I just called it a night and decided to leave it alone. I'll discuss this with him in the morning.
