Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE

Chapter 15

Rebekah's POV :

The past few days at London with John turned out to be real fun actually. At first I was sulking about the life I missed in Seattle with Rex around.

But John didn't leave my side even for a minute. He took me to meet all his friends.

Firstly they mistook me as his girlfriend who was in Rome for education purposes as he was literally sticking to me. We went to all the best places in London, we partied in all the bomb ass clubs for like entire nights, I drank to my heart's satisfaction and I danced till my feet turned sore.

I was enjoying would definitely be an understatement. When I came back home today after dinner with John and his bestfriend, I went up straight to my room.

I was lying on my bed while humming along to Ed Sheeran's kiss me song when there was a knock on the door. I sat straight when I saw that grandma was standing there with a tray of freshly baked cookies.

The cinnamon aroma filled my nostrils and I quickly licked my lip. She came inside and rested the tray on the bed between us while she sat by my side.

"Becca are you okay and should I believe you when you say that you have no other motive of coming to London?", she said while picking one of the cookies and giving it to me. I took it from her and while taking a bite I said, "Yes grandma. I just wanted to come here and meet you. I missed you and that's it. Trust me!"

I was feeling a bit guilty after lying to her but I didn't want to stress her. Finally she is happy because of Rafael and I don't want to pull her in any of my messes.

She then said to me, "Becca there is something that you need to know." She now had a serious expression on her face, the one that tells me that it isn't good news.

I held her hand and said, "What is it? Are you fine?" She smiled a bit before saying, "It isn't about me girl. Your father has been lately calling me and asking about your whereabouts. He called me two days before you came here and I just told him that I don't know where you are. Obviously he didn't believe me but I knew that you wouldn't want to meet him so I just lied to him. And so seeing you here made me a bit worried because I thought that he came to Seattle and you ran here in order to avoid him. But I am happy that you didn't have any unwanted meeting with him. This is your home Becca and you can stay here for as long as you want. I love you."

I hugged her tightly, clearly melted by her affection for me. I so wished at this moment that my grandma lived in Seattle with me.

Life would have been so much easier then.

I took a shower after completing the tray full of cinnamon cookies. I checked my phone and I almost dropped it on the ground when I saw that I had a voicemail from Rex.

He sent it to me 10 hours ago. I literally had no strength to go back to the trans state I was in from the past  days.

It took me a lot of strength to keep everything behind and get out of the mental hell that my mind was pulling me in after that quarrel with him. So I decided to ignore his voicemail and sat on my arm chair to read a book.

I read the same words again and again but my mind was stuck on what does he have to say in that voicemail. I hated myself for giving him the authority to distract me by just a voicemail.

Here I thought that I was doing good but whom was I kidding. A single message from him and here I am stupidly smiling that he still remembers me or maybe he misses me.

I took hold of the phone and sat on the bed still contemplating if I should listen to it or not. After many useless attempts to avoid the voicemail I finally heard it out.
