A Sweet Mistake

Twenty-nine

🦋🦋 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

I went downstairs after I had gotten out of the shower and i dressed up, The sweet aroma of pancakes radiated around the house.

"Morning" I greeted Nana immediately I came downstairs

"Morning, I thought you'd never wake up" she joked, I made a face and sat at the dinning table where a plate of pancakes was served, I quickly began to munch on it while sipping my coffee and reading a newspaper

"Tommy left two hours ago" Nana said

I really wasn't interested but I just nodded

"What do you want to do today?"

"Leave" I answered and folded the newspaper and placed it on the table then took a sip of my coffee

Nana's eyes widened from shock

"Why?"

"I want to go home"i said sullenly

"No you sound like you're tired of being here, is it the food? Is it me.."

She was too pure and kind hearted

"No no it's me I just um I need um I just um I just need a me time you know alone" I exhaled deeply, clearly exhausted "I..." I hesitated

"I understand"

I smiled ruefully at her, secretly thanking her for not letting me mumble words

"Just come back, okay don't..don't get lost in your 'me' time it will break hearts"

I didn't want to ask her what she meant by 'it will break hearts' does she mean Tommy's or hers? Of course she meant Tommy my subconscious rolled her eyes at me, I just left it like that and nodded at her

"I know it's not a big deal but Can you not tell Tommy I want to be the one to tell him"

"Of course"  She smiled and left me alone

After breakfast I sat in the living room scrolling through my Instagram page, I hadn't done that in a while, after I got bored I got up and found a book and a pencil and I began to sketch dresses, I sketched tight fitted gowns for dinners, I sketched wedding gowns, I sketched suit trousers and blazers alongside big hats on my model, I sketched midi-length gowns, I sketched strapless gowns and so on they looked really good, it's had been so long I sketched and it kept me busy that I'd didn't know time
had flown until my phone beeped with a message

*hey it's Mike, how are you*

My world spun 360, Mike texted me how did he get my number?, how did I feel?, I wasn't happy I wasn't sad I was..confused, I didn't know what to reply I was stunned for a while, taken aback, I began to remember him in every detail, every laughter we shared, it was a miracle for me being with Mike, he was my everything until I blew it off and threw my happiness all away, so it was hard knowing what to reply not how to because, I was feeling guilty, I never texted him, I never checked on him, I just moved on with my life like he wasn't the love of my life...I fell for someone else like he never existed it made me wonder if I ever did love Mike? Or was it the fact that I was with someone better?
