My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (summer reading list TXT) 📗

Chapter 43. I'm better off without you.

 

We arrive at Isa's house, the truth is that I am devastated, this hurts me a lot, I love him and he doesn't love me, Katy realizes what is happening, but my princess doesn't say anything, I only notice her very sad, she loves Dante very much, there is no doubt about that. Why does he have to be such a jerk and an idiot, and why do I have to love him so much?

"My friend, everything has to have a logical explanation to everything you've told me, you should talk to him." Isa sits down next to me.

"That's what I wanted Isa, I wanted to talk to him but he ignored me, he didn't care."

"I'm sure what happened with Iam he just used as an excuse, because he was tired of playing happy house with me."

"Paula are you listening to yourself? That man is dying for you, and they're going to have a baby for God's sake."

"No Isa, I already told you I wanted to talk, to solve things and he didn't want to listen to my explanation, as he said you had more important things than me, surely one of his many lovers was waiting for him and I Isa won't be the stupid one who stays waiting for him to decide to talk to me."

"I don't know friend, but I think you rushed things, I'm glad you are here with me, but I think he will be like crazy looking for you."

"I don't think so Isa, and if so I don't care, he only brought this on himself, and I won't give my arm to twist anymore, many times I have forgiven him but not this time."

"And going back to Marc friend, what do you plan to do?"

"I don't know Isa, he's crazy."

"I think I'll talk to him."

"No Isa, don't even think about it, you'll lose your job because of me."

"And then what will we do? I won't stay calm either Paula, knowing that the idiot can hurt you and your baby."

"He won't Isa, I'll be careful, don't worry."

"And with your job what do you plan to do?" asked Isa.

"I don't plan to work there again."

"What, are you crazy Paula, no that I don't agree with, of course you will continue to work there."

"You're crazy Isa, do you know who will be there, do you know who owns the company?"

"And after everything that happened at the Gala, everyone will look at me like I'm Dante's woman, and I'm not anymore."

"I don't care Paula, you're not leaving that job, period. You need it now more than ever, for Katy and your baby."

"You'll have to carry the party peacefully with him, you're going to have a child together, if you're not going to give him a chance to work things out with him, at least carry the party peacefully."

 I think what my friend says and I think she is right, it will just be so hard to see him there, to know that he is my boss, the father of my child and to be away from him.

 But you wanted it Paula, you ran away without waiting to talk to him, my conscience reproaches me.

What's done is done and there's no turning back, I'll go on with my life alone, with Katy and my baby.

My princess comes next to me in the room where we are, she lies on my chest, I caress her little head.

"We're not going back to Dante, are we?" She looks at me with those little eyes that turn me into nothing.

"Don't be sad my child, we are together, that's what's important."

"Has he misbehaved?" she asks sadly.

"No sweetheart, we just have adult differences."

"Won't I be able to see him again?"

I look at Isa.   "I don't know princess,we'll see later okay?" Katy just nods.

"Paula, can I take Katy to the park?" It's Katia who asks me to cheer up my princess a bit.

"Of course you can, but be careful."

"Can I really go, Paula?" katy asks excitedly.

"If little one goes and plays a little, take the bike," I say, giving him a smile.

"Thank you, thank you." she gives me lots of kisses, to which I laugh with her.

"And you? How are you doing with Santiago?" I turn again to Isa, when Katy and Katia had left.

"Don't even remind me, I don't want anything to do with that idiot. He keeps sending me flowers, going to the restaurant, he insists, he's a jerk."

"Won't you give him a chance?" I asked.

"No Paula, what he did to me hurt me very much, I won't forgive him." I hug my friend, we are both bad in love. Suddenly Isa's phone rings, she lets go of me to answer, she frowns looking at me suddenly.

 "What's wrong?"

"An unknown number." she answers. My heart starts pounding.

"No wait, don't answer." I exclaimed quickly. "What, why?" Isa asks.

"What if it's Dante?"

"Well, talk to him." I roll my eyes.
