Chapter 20 –The Breakup Flop

“Honestly, Alex why don’t you take her out of here and have a talk with her. I am ill, tired, and now, I am having a headache. Please take her away from here.” I said and laid down without saying another word and closed my eyes to believe that if I did this, maybe, the world would again become normal. No contracts, no hurt and no… feelings.

Oh, don’t take me wrong, feelings come from being close to a person for a long time and with the amount of time I have been spending with this guy, if I don’t get feelings that would be a lot weirder.

In all honesty, if the number of feelings is directly proportional to the time spent together then, surely, it is indirectly proportional to the time not spent together. And right now, I have decided to not meet him for a week. Before the engagement, we will have the brightest and biggest break up of the year without hurting our parents that’s my promise.

“I want to talk to her and not you, she is a fucking–”

Of course, before the breakup I want to personally handle a woman who keeps irritating me.

I slowly sat on my bed and looked at the two people fighting at my door.

“Alex, allow her in.” I said and Alexander who was standing at the door looked at me before allowing her inside and stood close to me while placing his hands on my shoulders as if giving me his utmost trust. Bah! Keep acting.

“So, while I was ill and hospitalized, your husband died and you, whose husband died is standing here in front of me well dressed in no woes. Darling, do you even know what you’re doing right now and what it seems like?” I very much wanted to reason with her but honestly, it clearly seems who is behind the fake evidence against me.

“And you,” I pointed my finger at Alex, “If you can’t handle your ex, then don’t get one! I am ill and I need rest, but you can’t get her out of here because she will create disturbance and drama? You are a CEO, so get into your form. Call security, throw her out! Do anything but get her out of my face!!!” my shout could’ve woken up the dead’s and it did. It woke the dead CEO in Alex and in seconds, gold-diggers’ was out of here.

“You rest, I’ll be–”

“No need, just be away from me and do not come in front of me. Keep your ex away from me. I have read and seen enough that whatever happens to me doesn’t matter to you and it shouldn’t. it’s the contract anyways.”

“Amy, I know you are angry, but I promise–”

“How many times?”

“What?”

“How many times will you promise me and then break it? And I am not telling you to stay away because of them getting hurt anymore.”

“Then why?”

“Because it’s not them who are going to get hurt more by you…”

“Amy–”

“Get out, now.” I didn’t listen to anything he said and closed my eyes to sleep.

May be if I stayed this way, I’ll feel fine and won’t feel anything for anyone at all.

I heard the door closing and slept halfway to Monday.

“Amy, are you okay? And where’s your boss?” Alisha said as she helped me get off the bed and helped me pack the stuff.

“He is busy.” I said and she looked at me once before nodding and picking my bag and checked around to check if we left something.

“Hey, everything’s cool with you both?” she said, and I looked at her and nodded with a smile.

“let’s go and get home before aunty blows up my cell again.”

“Alisha, what if I say that I don’t want to be in this relationship?” I said and looked at her as she buckled her seatbelt and drove out the parking lot.

“I’ll say, do what makes you happy and not something that makes you sad. Go for it, whatever you think is right for you.” She said and throughout the ride we were quiet, but it was a nice quiet.

If I weren’t into boys, I would have fallen for my best friend with no problems at all. And the fun fact, she would have loved me far better than anybody else.

I smiled at my thought and finally reached the one place I am always home.

“Dad!!” I drawled as I saw him as soon as the door opened, and he handed a cute home-made candy filled bowl in my hand and hugged me.

“My baby’s back and is looking so good. You look beautiful, a little thin but we will fill it up with lots of love.” I smiled at his cheesy lines and watched my mom trailing behind him and hugged her.

She kissed my forehead and I noticed how she seemed a little uneasy because her smile kept twitching and we went to the living room where our sweet neighbor with her oh-so-nice son was there and there was a sudden tense air and I turned to look behind me to see my boss and his mom together.

Well, it couldn’t get any better.

There will surely be a breakup here today!!!

I pulled my phone out of my pocked and wrote a long text to send to my boss and tried my best to let him know to check his phone, but he didn’t even look at me the whole time but rather kept talking to my mother causing me to almost get choked.

Dude, we are losing the chance to breakup if you didn't listen to me, do you know that?
