Fifty One Days

Chapter 43 'Just breakfast'

Chapter 43. Thank you for reading guys. Throwing these chapters out again. 📖❤

I whirl round to face the sink. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! My palms feel sweaty as I grip the counter and Jay chats away about how excited he is. Why has this made me so nervous? I shouldn't care what Milo thinks. In just over a month I'll be marrying the man I love. Who cares if Milo knows?

I care. I know I do.

"Babe, can I call you back later? Urm somethings come up".

"Of course babe. Call me later. Missing you".

"I miss you more. Love you. Talk later".

"Love you more" and with that he hangs up. I place my phone on the counter and take a deep breath.

Whatever he has to say about this. Fuck him.

I'm half hoping he's left the kitchen by the time I turn back round. I'm being weird. I've been facing this way for the longest time. When I do finally turn round...I'm disappointed. He's still standing there.

I pull myself up and stand straight, straightening my lilac top. Be strong. Oh my god why am I so worried about this. I fix my eyes on his and decided to wait for him to talk again.

"When were you going to tell me?". He barks at me.

"Tell you what Milo?".

"Don't".

"Don't what?".

"Don't be an arsehole Ali". I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Don't be an arsehole? You're seriously talking to me like that. All because I got engaged and didn't tell you? Sorry, are we friends? Did I need to tell you? I haven't seen you in two years and before that you broke my heart Milo...".

"You broke you're own god damn heart. It's not my fault...".

"Not your fault?!? You made me fall for you. You knew I was and you let it happen when you had no interest in being with me like that. So why you care if I'm engaged?".

"I care...I care because..."

"Have you once contacted me in the last two years? Did you even bother to find out how I was?".

"You left. The last conversation we had was you telling me you loved me and that things were.."

"And you didn't say it back and you...".

"Let me fucking finish a sentence please" He shouts at me. I didn't realise how loud we're being. I shut my mouth and let him finish. "I did...I do care about you Ali. I've thought about you everyday since you left" That hits me hard. He's thought about me everyday for two years.

"Why didn't you ring me or ask Steph where I was?"

"I did ask Steph and she didn't know. I tracked your phone and I came to London Ali. I followed you there. I was gutted when you left. Two days after you left I managed to track you down but when I got there I saw your Ex going into your hotel room and I thought....".

"What? You came to London?" This is too much information to process.

"Yes I came to London. Two days after you left" He almost looks proud of himself. He still hasn't moved away from the kitchen door.

"And you saw Kyle coming into my hotel room?".

"I mean yeah. It was late like 2am but yeah. I knew it was your room, I phoned on my way up and told the receptionist I was your boyfriend".
