Eliza's Elation (Kingston Spin-off #1) ✔️

Chapter 14

**(Edited)**

Eliza's POV

I park in his driveway as I look and see his truck. He wasn't lying, for once he wasn't lying. I never realized how much I loved Grant until I saw him with Brandon, it's like Brandon was nothing compared to him. I know Grant will be pissed off more when I get back but I'm doing this for me. I want to know why, not just a 'I needed to fuck' excuse because I know there's something more here than that.

I shut off the car and grab my purse as I go to the front door and knock. I'm not even scared, I cross my arms and set my face is stone as I hear footsteps and then he opens the door.

"Hey love" he whispers as I take a solid look at him, he looks horrible and that makes me happy although it shouldn't.

"I'm not your love. I want an explanation for all this shit." I demand as he nods and opens the door for me to walk in. I do and go directly to the kitchen table and sit down. I don't talk as he asks, "Do you want a glass of water?" I just stare.

Knowing me, he sits down next to me and fiddles with his hands.

"Did you like the flowers?" He asks as I set my jaw straight and look at him.

"The flowers sitting on the table when you made your whore dinner?" I ask sarcastically as I look at him directly. He shakes his head as he rests his elbows on the table.

"Eliza, I've been dying without you" he whispers as I look away from him.

"Cut the bullshit, I want a answer. Why did you fuck her? Why was I not good enough? I gave you everything except for my virginity and I'm so glad I didn't." I scoff while holding my bag in my lap.

"I'm sorry okay, but I did it because I needed what you weren't giving me. Eliza I was celibate for you and it killed me, I fucked everyday before I met you and I needed anything possible before I lost my mind" he rasps out as I shake my head no.

"That's not why you cheated though" I add as he shakes his head yes.

"I refuse to believe for one second that you actually wanted to marry me. I think you liked the idea that I was always here for you. I cleaned this place, I cooked, I brought home a paycheck, I was perfect. I felt so broken when I walked in and saw that shit. Do you know how bad I felt? Like my heart was shattered?" I ask as he looks down. I normally would be crying or feeling bad but I don't. I'm not crying because I don't feel sad anymore. I love Grant and this isn't going to change that.

"I'm sorry. That's all I can say, over and over again. I love you Eliza and I would take it back in a heartbeat if I could, it was a mistake, a total mistake and I'm sorry" he whispers while looking up and meeting my eyes while his are almost in tears.

"Sorry doesn't fix it" I tell him as he nods.

"I'll do whatever it takes, I'll do anything you want" he says as I look down at him and almost feel bad for this.

"I love another guy" I tell him truthfully as he stares at me, "What?"

"I love the guy that brought me here, I have for years. I never told you but I met him my freshman year of high school and knew I loved him. We were best friends before he went to the NFL and now his daughters in my class at school. I thought I was over him, I really did but seeing him brought back everything I've been trying to hide forever because I thought I was over him but I'm not" I tell him honestly as he looks at me.

"Did you cheat on me too?" He asks as I shake my head no.

"I never have, I didn't even really see him until I was at dinner with my grandparents. He showed up and we just talked, we just talked and I knew. I knew I was fucked when I met his daughter and fell back in love like that" I tell him while snapping my fingers to make my point.
