🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - TWO🌹

"My name is Rose Ace" I tell Eric after I've cried for a good half an hour or so. "Glad to meet you, Rose. A beautiful name for beautiful girl" He says and I look down. "I'm going to make us some lunch, I can tell that you're hungry by the sound of that lion in your stomach" He jokes and I half smile but smiling doesn't feel right to me right now, not after the sadness that I've felt.

I nod my head. I don't really feel like talking that much, in truth I just wanted him to know my name. Speaking does hurt my throat as there is a lump that I'm unable to get rid of and perhaps I do deserve that lump and this sadness. But, what have I done to deserve this?

Eric stands up and walks to another room, the kitchen I would guess since he is making us lunch. I take the time to look around the living room now that I've stopped crying and my eyes aren't as blurry anymore. The tears in my eyes have completely drained and I feel like I can't even cry anymore.

There are pictures with him and his family I would imagine but some are with a football team and I also notice medals and trophies decorate the living room on shelves and everywhere. This man is clearly is good at football and I almost smile at how much he has won.

He doesn't look like the type that is a sport man but then again looks can be deceiving. Soon Eric comes back holding two plates of sandwiches. "I know it's not a lot but I've not gone shopping. I was on the way when I saw you" He says awkwardly as he puts the plates down on the table in the living room and the one in front of us.

"Thank you" I whisper to him quietly, my voice is a bit hoarse from crying this much but I clear my throat. "You're welcome" He says as he sits down and we start eating the sandwich and I must say, this is so good. "Judging by your face, I'd say you like it" He says and I almost smile at him.

It's like he knew what I was thinking but then again my face could've failed me when hiding what I'm feeling but I know that I can trust him and I don't need to hide the feelings inside me as he's seen me at my very worst and he hasn't run away so perhaps he can know what I'm feeling.

"Do you want to stay here while I go shopping? It's shopping day and I really want to go before everything will be stamped with people" He asks me. I nod my head at him. I don't even think I would stand up from this couch as I am comfortable here.

I would not even have enough energy to stand up anyway. "Do you want anything from the store? Ice cream? Candy?" He asks me and I half smile at him. Can this man be any sweeter? Because as far as I'm concerned, he's been thinking so much of me and we've only just met.

Lightly I shake my head at his questions but I do know they are with the right intentions as these are the things that women often have when they go through break up but not me. I've never gone through a break up before as Alexander was my first boyfriend and my first fiancée but now he's neither.

I suppose he has turned now into my ex. "All right then, I will write my phone number on the fridge if you change your mind. But, I'll not be that long" He tells me as he stands up. We've already finished our food or he finishes his but I only ate half of the sandwich.

As good as it was I just had no appetite to eat as inside my heart there is just too much pain to even try to eat even when I am starving. I just can't eat when I feel this horrible inside. Eric leaves and I'm left alone in the apartment. The silence takes over and my thoughts start to lurk around.
