FIXATION

Chapter 25

Eden POV

4 days had passed and I had barely heard from Ross. He sent a message here and there and I talked to him a couple of times but he was always in a rush to either hang-up or leave and we barely face time.

Olivianna surprisingly had become a friend of sorts and I found myself talking to her more about my personal dilemma. She was a very efficient and good worker, I was surprised. She was always on time and barely if ever missed a day of work. Not only that. She was always making sure everything was running smoothly.

"Is just not like him to act this way" I said between getting everything ready to open our doors.

"I saw Monique the other day she came here with her group of crazies," Olivianna said.

"I know I've been meaning to talk to her"

"About what! You don't owe her any explanations" she said.

"Actually I do. I'm not even sure if Ross even ended things with her the right way before proposing to me and the last thing I want is to break up a couple, no matter how much I love Ross, I don't think I can be fully happy on someone else's misery, is not right"

"Eden, you are truly one of a kind. They were barely a couple. They just fooled around and had sex that's all. Ross never took her seriously. You don't owe her anything and if so Ross is the one that needs to apologize and I doubt he even cares so don't worry"

"I'm a woman too Olly. I sympathize with her and you should too. As women, we shouldn't be hurting one another"

"That's how life is Eden!" She said and walked away kind of angry. Did I say something wrong?.

I did feel bad for Monique but Ross had assured me that she was never his girlfriend and like Olly said they just had sex all of the time and that was pretty much it. Nothing ever serious.

Maybe I should let it go. But I felt bad regardless. I wiped the last table before I went to open the door so people could walk in. A couple of people were waiting outside already and my day was just getting started.

"But you did break up with her though right?"

"I didn't have too we were never together Eden, and besides I don't know why you care so much about Monique's feelings, you hate her".

It was sad that the one chance I got Ross on the phone for longer than 10 minutes I was talking about Monique and not about us.

"I don't hate anyone Ross, I mean I did hate her but then is like I'm not going to be a miserable hateful person forever. So, if you say you never dated her and I didn't come in between you two then ill let it go"

"Trust me," he said.

"What about Olly why do you think she got mad at me? she barely spoke to me all day"

Ross took a deep breath I could tell he was getting aggravated with me talking about other people so much.

"I don't know remember she's sleeping with my dad and he is still married to my mom so maybe you hit a nerve I don't know".

"oh my Gosh! I completely forgot about that detail! Oh Gosh I probably offended her without even realizing it"

"Don't stress about it love you think too much about other people."

"I feel bad though"

"I doubt Olivianna cares what other people think of her no offense. She's a lot like me. We don't give a crap what people say about us. Or think about us. She's used to it by now."
