behind the spotlight [NEEDS EDITING]

Chapter 15 the paris trip

When I reach to the place Gigi told me to come, it was a club. I used to come here with Bella before. I headed straight to the VIP room knowing where they can be since this is the place we used to come frequently. I knocked the door and to my surprise Hailey, Bella’s best friend, opened the door. They were there, Bella, Gigi and Hailey.

Hailey: “whoa! Now I believe you honey” she said looking back at Bella who is sitting on the wide coach.

She was standing by the door not letting in.

Gigi: “omg Bella he really come, come in abel”

Hailey: “sorry I didn’t ask you to come in, I was shocked” she let me in.

Bella: “I know you still care” she walked to me looking totally normal.

Abel: “how can I not care Bella? Are you alright? Gigi told me…”

Bella: “I am alright sweetheart, the girls were telling me you don’t care about me since you got a new gf, so I wanted to prove them wrong, I made Gigi call you.” she kissed my cheeks hugging me from the side.

Bella is taller than me added to the high hells, I look too short in front of her, one thing I hate about taking a photo with her is this!

Abel: “so nothing happened? It was just a bet?” I said getting furious

Bella: “not only that, I missed you, I wanted to see you and I also know you missed me, that is why”

Abel: “tell me you are joking Bella! Wtf is wrong with damn it?” I said pushing her away from my body.

Bella: “okay sorry I lied, but you care that is why you are here, let us talk things out, I know you didn’t cheat on me”

Abel: “are you out of your mind or something? When will you be serious with relationship Bella? Why after all this time? Coz I moved on? When will you care about my feelings? You putting a bet on my feelings, is a joke to you? Yes I care but just like any other human being would!  Now you win the bet but you loss me! I thought you cared about me for doing drugs to kill the pain, just like I did, if it wasn’t for Maria I would have ODed, but you… why am I even here?” I stormed words after words and with that I left, slamming the door hard behind me.

I drive home as fast I could hoping to see Maria at home. When I reach home I headed straight to my bed room to where I left Maria.

Abel: “marry” I called as I open the door but she wasn’t there! I saw a note on the bed.

“Don’t worry about me I am fine, and she will be fine too”

I read the note and sat on the bed. I scratch my hair as guilt invade my body.

“Fuck me! Damn it!”

***********************

It been 3 days since I heard from Maria, no call, no text no nothing. I missed her. I missed the jokes she make, I missed the foods she cock, I missed her presence and I just missed everything about her.

Lamar: “are you ready bro?”

Lamar: “bro! Are you even listening?” Lamar stormed while I was gone thinking about Maria.

We are going to Paris today for my performance.

Lamar: “what is wrong?”

Abel: “nothing, is the flight ready?”

Lamar: “you missed her?” he asked not caring to answer my question.

I looked at him not saying a word.
