We came to work a bit late due to the traffic and I was surprised to see Xander's ex again
Waiting for Xander anxiously.
Go to your office Jennie. But..... Fine I'll go
I went straight to my office annoyed, that girl just had to ruin my morning!
Thirty minutes later and they were still not done and curiosity got the better of me as I headed to his office
I knocked and got no reply, I knocked again and came in
And what I saw made my blood boil!
Mia's hand was on Xander's chest and they were just about to kiss
At least get a room!
Xander's head whipped to my direction and he was beyond mortified.
Jennie wait I... I didn't want to listen to his excuses so I picked my bag and left.
I didn't go straight home because I knew he would come to find me and give me silly excuses
I went to Zoe's place, thank God I still have her spare key
Xander was calling me non-stop and sent loads of text
Jennie please let me explain, you've misunderstood the situation
I just read and text and gave no reply
All men are the same, he was no better than Zack, my ex boyfriend who also cheated on me
Jennie where are you? We can talk this out he texted again and I turned off my phone
Few hours later...
Zoe arrived from work and was surprised to see me in her house
What are you doing here? And why do you look so messed up?
It's Xander.... I saw him making out with his ex
"Handsome men are the most evil" she said angrily
I don't how I fell asleep but I woke up to Zoe dumping a nightie on me
Go take a shower and let's have dinner she said going to the kitchen
I showered lazily and went to the kitchen
She dished the food and passed it to me I'm not hungry I said shifting the plate away
You plan on starving yourself to death just because your boyfriend cheated on you?!
What happened to the old Jennie who dump guys like thrash? He's different from my ex!
"Okay then explain how he is different? she said folding her arms
He.... cheated on you! Zoe screamed at me completing my sentence
He didn't! He almost... "Yeah if you didn't barge in they would've kissed!.
Now eat your food!
I ate half of the food and lost my appetite.
I'm full Zoe I said pushing the plate away
What do you mean you're full? She said open your mouth I'll feed you myself she said standing up and sat next to me.
She grabbed the plate and shoved the rest in my mouth emptying the plate
I finished it, are you happy now? Very happy she said with a big smile
Come, let's go watch TV she said dragging me to the living room
I saw my phone on the table, turned it on and saw ten missed calls from Xander
He texted me again, why are you not at home?
come back Jennie let's talk this out.
"I'm an adult and I can go anywhere I want"
I texted back and switched off my phone
We watched TV for three hours and I was about to change the channel when Zoe talked
When do you plan to leave?
Are you seriously asking me that? I said raising my voice a little bit
"Yeah my boyfriend's coming tommorow and I don't want a third party ruining our moment"
So I'm a third party?! I said astonished
Yeah obviously! are you gonna watch us make out Infront of you?
No it's fine I'll leave tommorow morning
Are you mad? No I'm not I'll leave sooner or later anyways I said smiling faintly
I'm sorry babe she said giving me a side hug
Aren't you sleepy yet? Yeah let's go sleep she said and turned off the TV
Next morning....
Zoe woke me up and was all dressed up for work
Go take a shower and let's eat breakfast she said and went to the kitchen
I quickly took and shower and wore her clothes
We ate breakfast quicky and she dropped me off at home
I got out of her car and she came out too hugging me tightly
"Everything's gonna be okay_ she whispered and released me from her hug
Who knew Zoe could comfort someone like that
Well that was unexpected I said and she pecked my cheeks
Go on you'll be late i said and she got into her car and drove off
I turned around and saw Xander coming out of his house
He saw me and walked towards me
I tried to go in quickly but he was quick enough to catch up
He grabbed my arm but I yanked it off
What do you want? I said blankly
At least give me a chance to explain he said pleadingly
Okay fine what do you have to say
I... I'm sorry, I really didn't know how it happened
I had to clench my fist so as to not slap his fucking face
"You aren't at fault here, I am".
I was stupid enough to believe you I said with a sad smile
Jennie i.... Just stop!
I don't wanna listen to your excuse, and I don't wanna see you for now
Xander's pov...
I knew I messed up, but the thruth is.. I really didn't what happened yesterday and how it happened
But but who would believe I didn't know how Mia got so close
I loved Jennie and I really didn't want to lose her, so I have to figure out a way to make her forgive me.
I went to work feeling like shit and was in a very bad mood
And Mia came again
Good morning Xander, she said smiling faintly.
"Yeah what do you want" I said clenching my jaw.
I came to apologize she said looking down. I....i didn't know you were in a relationship
"And I thought you want me back when you didn't push me away yesterday"
I wasn't in my right mind yesterday
And what do you mean i want you back?
Have you forgotten what you did?!
I'll always regret my actions Xander she said looking down.
"You and I are done and done for good get that into your head"
Okay fine, but can you do me one last favour? What is it?
I won't cause you any trouble again just forgive me
"I'll think about it, you can leave" I said
Now that Mia was out of the picture, I had to figure out a way to get back with Jennie.
I wanted to go to her house but then I remembered I have a fucking plane to catch!
The business was important and I can't afford to miss it, it's a three days trip and I quicky went home to pack my suitcase
I stopped by Jennie's place and knocked on the door but she didn't answer
I waited for a few minutes and still no reply
Damn it! The meeting is in 4 hours and the trip will take 3 hours. I went back to my car and rushed to the airport
