Eric looked at her affectionately and put his arm around her signifying that she can.
Michelle burst out in tears and said tearfully,"I met him again.."
She paused and stopped crying while Eric got question marks on his face.
"....My ex boyfriend",she completed her eyes filled with hate.
Eric understood the situation and took her to a private room.
She cried all the way their and continued her story once they got their.
"After my mom died,I had only my dad to take care of me but their was only so much that he can do,he can't possible be with me every f**king time..."
She paused and looked outside the window before continuing,"that was when he came in,he was the best friend I ever had and later on a more intimate relationship was unavoidable...soon enough I started to ear rumours about him having multiple girlfriends but when I went to question him.."
She paused and took a deep breath,"I met him in bed with another woman.."
She completed and went still,even Eric felt her pain,judging from the look in his face.
"Not only that but when he saw me..when he saw me...he didn't get up.. no he didn't...he remained in the embrace of that woman and broke up with me right at that moment saying I wasn't his spec and I forced myself on him...I left their immediately and never saw him again...well not until now..I only heard that he had traveled abroad to continue schooling"
Michelle told her tale painstakingly and Eric listened carefully showing comfort when needed.
"Michelle...I understand how you feel.. trust me I do...but I have to tell you,since you have endured it this long,just have to act like he no longer has any impact on you,don't show any signs that he got to you,act like he isn't their and you can't remember him when he is present and believe me he will regret it,he will regret ever leaving you,am speaking as a guy myself."
Eric advised and left her to decide whether or not to take the advise,the ball was in her court now.
