Story II – It isn’t mutual if he doesn’t find out

null

– Hi Eric, how are you?

– OMG Martha, you wouldn’t believe what a bad day I am having!! I should have never left the bed this morning

– I am sure it is not too bad. Come on, tell me about it.

– Last night I went out with Marc to this new trendy bar in Soho

– So you went out last night?! But it was Tuesday..

– Focus Martha! And I met this girl. You wouldn’t believe how attractive she was.

– You met someone last night? Wait! Are you sure you want to meet someone who also goes out on a Tuesday?

– After buying my way with a few jokes and stories, she ended up leaving with me.

– And she went home with you?

– Why are you repeating everything I am saying?

– Sorry…

– She stayed at my place all night and it was brilliant – Really amazing!

– Oohh

– But you wouldn’t guess my bad luck, do you remember I was hoping to get a promotion now that Lucas was leaving the agency? Well, the director decided it would be better to bring someone new, with fresh ideas. Can you imagine who it is?

– Did you prepare breakfast for her?

– What? Whats the matter with you today? Focus please

– Of course, continue.

– Isobel, the girl from last night, she is my new manager! Can you imagine? And the worst thing is that I actually really like her. Help me Martha, what can I do? I want to keep seeing her but I want her job

– Why should I know what to do?

– Well, you always get what you want.

– Do I? Do I really Eric?

– Of course you do! You have a great job that you love and people respect you. And the only reason why you have no partner at the moment is because you don’t want to.

– What? Is it really what you think? As a friend you really suck… You could know me better if you wanted, but that is not the case, is it?

– Martha, I am lost here..

– Of course you are

– So are you going to help me or not?

She got up and left.

Story I – Choices

null-2

It was impossible to deny it anymore, it was over and there was nothing she could do about it.

She took her bag and left the house, got in the car and drove away.

She couldn’t blame it on Alan, it wasn’t his fault. They had been trying to save their relationship for months but nothing had changed. If only, she was feeling even more guilty and alone than before.

She didn’t know where she was going when she got in the car, but she knew now where she was heading to.

She hadn’t stopped seeing Rob all this time, she couldn’t help it. There was no point in lying to herself about it, no more excuses.

Alan was safe, warm, loving and always there for her. Rob was cold, distant, rude, and above all that, he didn’t need her. So why was she doing this? Was it worth it? She asked herself like as if any answer would matter and make her change her mind.

She was there. Got out of the car and walked to his house.

She knocked on the door and waited. He opened the door and she could see on his face that he wasn’t expecting her.

–          Are you going to invite me in? – She asked.

He moved aside and let her in.
