Me: I thought you would want to know, Matt received a job through our Seattle Washington location. He’s coming to New York for Thanksgiving and wants to thank me in person. I’ve decided to meet with him.
Her: Wonderful. Thanks.
Me: How are things?
Her: Couldn’t be better.
Me: Are you doing okay?
Her: Just great!
Nothing but fucking one-liners from her, spouting the same monochrome responses.
However, enough is enough. Tonight, when I call her, I’m going to ask her straight up if we are over.
Sin has texted me three times in the last hour, asking me to call her. If I hadn’t been in a damn meeting, I would have done so. Now that I’m free, and in my apartment, I can call her back.
And whatever happens, I’m not going to let her see me sweat.
Contrary to what my mind wants, my heart races when I dial her number.
She answers with a breezy “Hello, Royce,” and memories of our last day together flood my mind.
I shake my head, trying to dredge up the pictures of her and Thomas so I can stay strong. Stay in control. I can’t. All I see is her smiling at me. Onlymeand no one else.
“Sin, can we FaceTime?”
She lets out a deep sigh. “No, that is not necessary for what I have to say.”
The ice entering my veins is nothing compared to the coldness of my tone. “Well, well, let’s hear it then.”
“We’re done, Royce. Isn’t that what you’ve been waiting for?”
I stay silent as the wordsIt’s over… It’s over,go round and round in my head.
“Do you have a response?”
“No,” I say, finding my voice. “No, I don’t. I just hope you and Thomas will be very happy together.”
I’m being as sarcastic as shit. I hope they rot.
“Thomas?”
She is such a talented actress; she really sounds surprised.
“Yes, you and my prick cousin have become very close. Don’t try to deny it, I have proof.”
“I wasn’t going to. Wehavebecome close.”
I breathe fire through my nostrils. “How long did it take you to sleep with the heir apparent once I left?”
“What the hell are you talking about? Thomas is in love with Tiffany. Sorry he stole her from you. I guess that’s why you’re angry, huh?”
“Thomas and Tiffany?”
WTF?
Was it true? Tif never said who she loved. And damn me, I never asked.
