      It's been a good week for me, quite busy about the company proposals budget and spending time with Lewis makes my day. Now I can visit my three girlfriends. How I miss them so much, especially Edzy and Jenny. I am done with my paper works time to do my favorite thing. As Lewis told me we need to go to his parents home in Abu Dhabi this weekend it's already been Thursday so I guess tomorrow Friday is the day that I couldn't wait for. Meeting Mr. and Mrs. Adam is the one I'm looking forward too.
    I am ready to pack my things to go out and try to buy something for Lewis and his parents. Grab my car key and my Fendi bag and my phone kept
On ringing.  If I got lock away .... yeah same ringtone I wouldn't change it. While walking outside my office carrying my bag I was busy on searching my phone and I gotta answered who's calling me. " Hello? " I answered. " Hello, is this Courtney ? The other line answered." Yes whom I'm talking to I replied? " Can we meet in Dubai Mall? I have something to tell you, by the way this Vienna. I'll wait you inside Starbucks level 1. Thank you and see you there." Toootttt. She hangs the phone without asking me if I want. Wait I heard that name before but I couldn't remember when. As I reach the private parking I drive directly to the mall where I need to meet this lady. I feel weird but I'm curious.
As I was walking to the said place I recall the lady it was the same girl whom I saw in the office of Lewis. I never knew what relationship they had but if I'm not mistaken she'll the ex- girlfriend that he was telling me before. I don't know why she wanted to meet me but I'm curious and excited about what's coming next. I reached the place and look around I saw a beautiful lady sitting next to the counter. Tall and sexy with long haired brown complexion lady. I came direct to her table and she's looking to me directly. Once I reach her she smiled and offer me a seat.
"I guess you know me but let me introduce my self again, I'm Vienna." She said directly looking straight to my eyes. As I was sitting I feel a little discomfort about the way she looks at me an envious feeling she has with me. She looks down and sip her cappuccino and I look at the counter a humble smile of the server gets my attention and I smile back nod my head signal that I want to take an order. It's so hot that I wanted to drink a cold Frappuccino with strawberry flavor. My stomach was aching for sweet taste and a piece of caramel cheese cake. After she took my order she went back to the counter and I look back to the lady in front of me.
I asked her why she wanted to meet me. She answered straightforward without hesitation " At first I never love and felt the feeling I had with your boyfriend now, I was after with what he can give me to help me support my self and my family. I was having a decent job but what I had with Lewis was an extraordinary one. Lately I began to miss him even though he doesn't love me he spent nights for one or two hour with me for the sake of borrowed love. You can judge me or laugh at me or humiliate me but I never regret anything I did. I will be an hypocrite if I will not say I didn't like nor enjoy what we did. But he clearly told me only that we can be together not love no marriage no kids the agreement that I accept but I'm only human I fall in love get demanding and he wasn't liking it. Then you came and he slowly fading away from me." As she was talking I felt numb to all the words she's saying I felt hurt but I'm trying to control myself not to be emotional I tried to sip because my throat gets dry as the server looking worried after she served my order and accidentally we look together.
As I look back at this lady I saw tears forming in her hazel brown eyes. I felt pity instead of anger. I know that I don't easily judge people but I admired her strong personality to meet me with courage. I was about to ask her when she continue " I called you to say something I didn't meet you to fight or argue I know my place I was hurting yes but I'm not stupid to push things that will not happen even in a dream. I wanted to tell you that after this I won't bother him or you again, love him and understand him always he is such a moody he wants neck massage and a deep talk and do all the things that will makes him happy. Do things outside yourself don't feel shy to explore the reason why men cheat it's because when a lady is boring or lazy to do funny and nasty things. I'm sharing this because I know he loves you and as what I've heard in the office you're a very kind person. I don't have grudge nor hate on you yes I'm jealous coz I can't be you. I hope you won't tell Lewis that I meet you because for sure he will do something on me. I'm not a bad person just I'm a practical one but I fell in my own trap." She said while smiling at me with pain on her lips.
I fell what she had the betrayal I had with my ex and my mom before but I was healed now I'm strong and matured enough to understand her and I assured her that I won't tell Lewis that I met her. I even offer help if she needs anything. She even told me she's a single mom.
Then I open to her my situation that I'm pregnant no one knows yet but because I feel her sincerity that's why I let it release my burden and I saw shocked on her face and turn smile with happiness. I was surprised when she stand and hug me. I felt like I gain a friend who understand me without blaming me for what Situation I am in now.
We talk a lot she gave me advice about pregnancy and his to take care myself and my emotions not to trigger so the baby won't be affected.
It's been three hours passed since I left the mall I was driving to my condominium unit and can't forget this day. She's right I need to make a decision to talk to Lewis and forgive him for my baby's sake. I reach my room and directly take a warm bath after I wear my comfy pajamas I lay down in my bed and drift to sleep easily.
