On My Way To The Love Of My Life

Chapter 18

My head was pounding. I look at the time realising that we were completely drunk last night "Leila! Wake up" I whisper. Yelling won't help my headache at all. I stand up to see I have 5 missed calls from Tony. "I made you coffee" I hear him say "You have exactly 20minutes to get dressed and go to the bridal shop. " Fuck this was the first time he saw me like this. Was he dissapointed in me for not being responsible knowing we had fittings today "Avaaaaa!" I hear Leila scream I rush to my room "What? what happened" she looks at me "I have a hangover" she moans. I release the breath I didn't realize I was holding "me too, get up we need to get going. " She looks at me confused "Shhhhhhhh" she puts her finger to her mouth telling me I should keep quiet. "Shit!" she got out of bed "We need to get going, I don't have clothes here nothing! " Tony walks in with her coffee "All of that has been arranged mam you just need to get out of bed and get dressed" he hands me 2 painkillers with water. I hug him tightly "You're the best Tony" he tightens his grip on me "No offense My cherrie, but you reek" I chuckle and went to go shower

I wore a black polerneck dress that covered just below my thighs with black boots that covered my legs and a white formal cardigan my make up was heavy because I tried to hide my tiredness I wore a red beani breaking the colour code of my outfit and we got in the car and were off.... "Ava you look gorgeous" my best friend claps her hands pleased with the dress I had on. It was a soft pink silk dress. To be honest it was really pretty and it complimented the colour of my skin "Listen I have to go but I'm seeing you tommorow for our nails the other girls will also be there. " I went to go change and came back to see Kyle standing next to Tony "I didn't know you were in town" he looked at me not breaking eye contact "Can we go grab a coffee?" he asks and I look at Tony "You have time my lady" i put my glasses on and start walking we went to the Cafe next to the shop. "We need to talk" he says and I look at him straight faced. I tried to look intimidating and by his actions I could tell that I was
"What do we possibly have to say to each other" I ask him and he looks at me reaching out for my hand but I jerk it off "Ava I loved you, I still do" I take off my glasses staring at him "You know I keep on replaying the day of my birthday it's been in my head like a broken record" he looks away "You sang Ali Gatie-it's you mentioning that you've been broken before and that you're still hurting" he looks confused "Yeah but...." I interrupt him "Nick slept with your girlfriend three years ago. That was before he met me, so tell me Kyle who was that girl" he reaches out for my hand and I let him touch it I gave him a sly smile, I'm not the girl I was back then. I'm stronger now "Why does it matter who the girl was" I looked at him. To be honest I felt sorry for him "The girl was Claire right? " He removed his hand from mine and stared at the table "Ava don't" I smile "Yes it was, but I forgave him, I wanted nothing to do with her. I gave her the world and she still betrayed me. He did it because he was bored. I didn't want to get involved in your relationship you were nothing but a stranger to me Ava look at me! I wanted you to choose me I wanted you to prove to me that I'm worthy of your love " maybe 6 years ago I would've believed him but I'm wiser now. " Wrong again Kyle, Claire loved you she made a stupid mistake by sleeping with Nick and she begged for your forgiveness. You couldn't stand her. You forgave Nick because that's what you always do. She became so frustrated she thought the only way to get to you was by using Nick except I was in the picture. I'm not defending him because he slept with her when we were still talking but after meeting me she wanted to get back at him because she blamed him for ruining her perfect relationship right? " he was silent." Every single one of you used me and I had enough of it so will you please excuse me I have a meeting to attend. " I walked out of the Cafe with confidence. I've been waiting years to confront him about it

Flashback

" Hello is this Ava? " claire asks and I wanted to end the call immediately" What do you want"i reply with venom in my voice "To apologize, I'm the reason you broke up with Nick and he's been battling depression. I never loved Nick I loved Kyle sleeping with him was a stupid mistake and I wanted to ruin his relationship so I forced him to make out with me." It's probably too late but I am sorry, Kyle and I made peace with each other and im pregnant expecting his child, he doesn't know about it yet " I listen to her "Are you done?" I ask truly annoyed with her " It isn't your fault Claire, he had a choice and he still chose you. I'm not mad at you infact I'm happy for you. Congratulations on your pregnancy. May you teach that baby to not be a hoe." I switched off the phone proud of myself. Everyone moved on and I should too.

" Are you okay madame" Tony asked truly concerned "I've never been better" I smile at him. "Shall we go to the producers?" I take out my phone scrolling through the latest news " I made a list of a few things I want you to buy me, I'm cooking tonight" Tony looked at me surprised "But you don't cook" I chuckle at that statement "Clearly you know nothing "
