I Blame Wattpad for My High Expectations of Men

Chapter 63 - I'm not going to cry.

I don't know how smart it is of me to share this last fond memory right before the one that I've referred to as 'my living nightmare' all these years, but fuck it. I've been pushing it off for a while now to spare the pain in my chest that still haunts me to this day, but you guys have stuck around for this long enough and thus deserve to know how it all blew up in flames. Nevertheless, it's possible that it might confuse you all much like it did me back then, and even now, because despite the face that it's been three years since the incident occurred, I still can't fully wrap my head around how it all happened. I don't know if I'll ever have the right words to describe the feeling that lies behind what I thought I had known then and what I know now.

I know, I'll admit it, this confession of mine probably sounds psychotic as hell. But if it all doesn't make sense by the end of these following flashbacks, it'll definitely make sense by the time I fill you in on everything else. Until then...

~ Friday, February 5, 2021 - Only a Month After Ace's Last Book Release~

My film crew and I just finished wrapping up the last scene of our big production, and I can't wait to see the final product that Thelma Schoonmaker -the famous film editor that I have the privilege of working with- will come up with. It's been nearly two months since I've been asked to codirect one of the first screenplays I've ever written into a motion picture and even now, after having spent all of last month traveling the globe to shoot some amazing ass scenes, I still can't believe how far I've come in life.

My family ties are as strong as ever, I've made a name for myself in the Hollywood industry and I've been learning so much more about myself as a person, all while still having someone to come home to at the end of the day. True, this last month required a lot of long distance -for God knows what time since the two of us have been together- but that's only made mine and Ace's relationship that much more special.

Not to mention the fact that Ace joining me at tonight's wrap party is making me all that more excited that filming is finally over.

Speaking of Ace...

The Clyde to My Bonnie ❤️: I'm boarding my plane, baby. Fuck, I can't wait to see you. I've missed you so damn much 😩😘

Me: Trust me, I know the feeling. Ever since you told me that you'd be able to make it, I've had this creepy smile on my face.

Me: I think I've low-key been scaring everyone on set 🥴😅

The Clyde to My Bonnie ❤️: Shit, I know your creepy smile scares me, so...

The Clyde to My Bonnie ❤️: But you know I still love you 😂❤️

Me: Yeah, yeah, yeah...just get here already, will you?

Me: Home never feels the same without you 😓

The Clyde to My Bonnie ❤️: I'll be there soon, baby. I promise 😘

The Clyde to My Bonnie ❤️: And just to let you know, you don't have to pick me up. I've already scheduled an Uber.

Me: What? Why? I wouldn't have mind.

The Clyde to My Bonnie ❤️: Lol I know. But my hotshot director of a girlfriend has to get ready for tonight, so I'll just be waiting for you at home. I'll make us dinner in the meantime. How's chicken parmesan sound?
