Bliss
No. No, this couldn’t be happening. Not to me, not to us. How could he do this? How could he do this to me after everything? The tears threaten to fall but I blink them back. He won’t see me like this. I can’t get the image out of my head. The dark-haired beauty with her hand on his chest, he’s close to her, holding her hand, looking at her the way he looks at me.
It hurts so much to breathe but I keep moving, I have to get out of here. I hear his footsteps closing in on me as soon as I reach the elevator, pressing the button desperately, pleading for it to hurry.
“Bliss, please.” I hear him beg. “It’s not what it looked like. Just let me -”
“Let you explain?” I swing around to face him. “I know what I saw Cuba, you don’t need to explain!” I snap.
He actually has the audacity to look upset, to look like he's the one that was betrayed and let down. He rubs the back of his neck and runs his other hand over his hair.
“Baby-” he starts.
I cut him off. “Don’t fucking call me baby. Don’t you dare call me anything but my fucking name.”
He blinks back, shocked. I never curse in front of him, ever. I barely do it at all. But ugh, he deserves it. He doesn’t deserve my tears, he doesn’t even deserve to be around me right now.
I turn my back to him, hitting the call button again. What is taking it so long? “You should go back to your company, you’re being rude.” I just want him to leave. I need him to get away from me.
He reaches out to grab me, but I shove his hand away. “Don’t touch me.” How dare he after he touched that girl. How dare he speak to me after telling her I was no one? No one.
“Bliss, just fucking let me explain,” he begs again. “Please.” The need in his voice breaks my heart more because I want to believe whatever he says but I can’t do this.
The elevator doors finally open and I quickly walk in and turn to press the button for the lobby that will take me to my car, so I can drive far away from here. From the hotel where my heart broke and crumpled.
Looking up, I lock my eyes on his. “There’s nothing to explain. It’s over, but I guess since I’m no one there is nothing to be over.”
The doors start to close but Cuba blocks them with his hand and they reopen.
“Let me explain,” he grits out. “Just please hear me out, and I’ll let you go.” He swallows. “I’ll let you walk away from me.”
I don’t reply, I just stand there shaking with every breath, as my heart is shattering. Tears are still threatening to fall, and it’s take everything in me not to break down right now in front of him.
He takes a step forward, but I shake my head and he stops, frowning. “Baby, nothing happened. She came to say congrats, and I was telling her she needed to leave when you came in.”
“You touched her,” I accuse.
His brows bunch together like he’s thinking on what he’s going to say, how is he going to spin this.
“She touched me, and I was pulling her hand away.”
I choke out a laugh. “Wow, just wow, Cuba.” I shake my head. “That’s the story you’re going with?”
He opens his mouth, but I cut him off. “I’m done.”
“Are you serious?” Cuba shouts, making me take a step back deeper into the elevator. “You’re just going to keep cutting me off and walk away?”
“Yes. That’s exactly what I’m going to do.” I glare at him. “You had a half-naked girl in your damn room, and you want me to let you explain? Are you serious?”
His jaw ticks. “I didn’t do shit with Priscilla!”
“Oh, so she has name, she must be someone.”
“Will you fucking stop, Bliss. You’re not even letting me finish explain-“
I cut him off again. “I don’t want your explanation because no matter what you say there was a girl in your room.” I pause sniffing. “And is that alcohol I smell?”
Cuba shifts on his feet and looks away.
