Whatever love cost, heartbreak cost twice as much!
My best friend has the best husband ever and now she's gonna ruin it
Rose rolled on the bed, cursing under her breathe whoever was calling her phone by this time of the night.
Beep, beep
"Didn't you know texting was the first thing you should have done" she said to herself as her phone chimed instead of ringing
She tried going back to sleep but couldn't, "let's go see who that is then" she thought and walked towards her desk where she dropped her phone.
Tapping the tesxt;
Bitch wake up!
She smiled and headed to the fridge, "Now this is the only person that should be keeping me awake" she said
Has Mike changed his mind again?
She typed before taking a big gulp of bottles juice
Beep,beep, she dropped her phone down and pour more juice into a glass
Clicking on the text with one hand, she began to close the bottle
It's fucking Ibrahim, he has a recording of that night
Rose spat the juice in her mouth back into the bottle, her eyes widened in shock as she read the text over and over again
Bitch say something!!!
Was the text that followed
(Typing....
Please
Rose couldn't pull herself to make up any word, so she typed the phone call icon
"Tell your husband we're going for a girls only vacation" she said, her voice still laced with shock
"Okay" Alexa agreed
"Would we be back before my anniversary?" She said between close teeth afraid it might spike her friend up
"Bitch its just one week" Rose said
"Okay....." Alexa began to say
"And Alexa" rose cut her off "Don't you dare go see him" she warned and ended the call not giving Alexa any chance to but in
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
A mistake? Did she just say A mistake?
I can still remember her coming all over me and yet she calls it a mistake. I can't be the only one who feels this way, it it was nothing as she claims why then did she keep on trying to reach me when I decided to cut contact with her.
Ibrahim rest his head on his steering wheel, stuck in thoughts, he had sent Alexa an address using a new number but its been over an hour and she still hasn't showed up, flashes of Friday night kept playing in his head; how he broke up with neche, how neche doused wine all over Alexa, The slap that followed, Mark and Alexa walking away, Alexa ignoring him, Rose stopping him and how he had planned on killing Neche.
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
"When you said Vacation, I imagined you meant it as an excuse to get away and not the real thing" Alexa stood amazed at the beach house
"Me too" Rose chuckled as she helped Alexa with her bags, "Stop it" she rolled her eyes jokingly at Alexa fixed stare which was screaming spill the beans babe
"Well...." she began, surrendering because she knew her best friend wouldn't stop at staring
"After that call, Emmanuel called too and said he booked me a beach house for the weekend" she paused as she directed them into their room "so when I told him about our hangout, he made it 1 week" Rose explained and Alexa grinned even wider as
"What?" Rose asked
"Girl I think he's gonna propose" she
giggled as they rolled her bags into the wardrobe
"Girl you're delusional" Rose objected,
rolling her eyeballs as she walked towards another room
"You know how much you love the beach at
night" Alexa whined even more from behind as she sat on the chair Alexa already
pulled out for her.
"So tell me, how do you think you'd react when
he does it?" Alexa was literally screaming like something from a fairytale "No wait
don't I know how...." She was trying to continue but Rose used mouthful of Tacos
to shut her up but instead she continued mumbling not minding that her cheeks were
bulging with food
"we broke up" Rose confessed quietly
"what?" confusion plastered on Alexa's face as
she hurriedly swallowed her food
"I
finally told him after running our medical compatibility test that we are not fit
for marriage" Rose answered, feigning a chuckle before tears would betray her
"so basically, he paid for the vacation as a way to say goodbye" she knives
into her chicken with concentration until she couldn't hold the tears anymore
"So yeah it's just us, two best friends each
dealing with secrets they held…." She was trying to say when Alexa wrapped
her into her warm bossom
"Bitch now you're only going to make me cry louder"
Rose whined as she sobbed loudly, relaxing her cheeks onto Alexa's firm breast
"yeah I know you feel like shit right now"
she continued, closing her eyes as she felt warm fingers running through her hair
"But I feel way shitter than you do, you always open up to me whenever you're having
a hard time and all I do Is keep things to myself" she owned up
Alexa stayed silent knowing its time like this
Rose just want to cry and rant it all, she doesn't want cliché advice or words of
comfort, all she wants is a good listener,
a silent one at that and she was ready to stay still until Rose felt better.
"You know I always knew" Rose tattled as
she pulled away from Alexa's hold, "I knew we weren't compatible, I ran the test
myself when we had just started dating" she paused and motioned that they sit
"I knew but instead I chose silence" she continued as she dried her eyes with
the paper cloth on the table
"Alexa?" she called out as she turned "you need
to tell Mark" she suggested, blowing her nose
"what?" Alexa was shocked that she didn't know
when she stood up, "Do you want my marriage to end?" she questioned, disbelief and
fear fighting to take control of her face
"Remember
how you used to say you trusted Ibrahim, that he'd never do anything to hurt you?"
Rose stood up too "Girl, he'd do more than that" she warned
Alexa began to pace around
"You
can tell him it was before you guys got married" Rose suggested as she leaned on
the table
"As
much as you think this is reasonable, Mark is so gonna lose it" Alexa said as she
crossed her arms over her shoulders, panicking at just the imagination of Mark listening
to the voice note if she hadn't deleted it.
Rose walked towards her
"Breathe,
Alexa" She said softly, using her finger to control the rhythm of her breathe
"Its
either you tell him first or he would" Rose said
