The conversation had gone long last night between these two girls.
"Amy?" He asked.
" Yeah Grey?" Amy said, while going up to Eric and giving him a tight hug.
"Have you spoken to her?" Greyson asked
"Estella?" She asked.
Greyson nodded.
"Yeah..." She swallowed.
"So what she say?" Eric butted in.
"Not much..." Amy responded.
"Why did she call you yesterday sooo desperately?" Greyson asked.
"well um.... Work...has been stressing her out." Amy said.
"Um weird... she could have talked to me about wo--.... Wait.. that's not true...I asked her about work and she said her boss was being hard on her... but that she needed to speak to you about a girl problem." Greyson said.
"Yeah.. that too..." Amy added.
"Is it too serious? I mean is it really bad that I couldn't know about it?" Greyson asked.
"Yeah.. I mean no... I- Just stop.. please... Don't ask me about it. If she didn't tell you it's because it's not that important.. Sorry Greyson...." She said.
He sighed and said. "I'm going to trust you when you say it's not that important for me to know." He got up.
"Greyson, let it go. She probably 100% fine. I mean Amy would tell you if it were a very serious problem.." Eric spoke to him, While hugging his wife from behind.
Greyson nodded his head while staring at his phone. "Shit. I forgot, Jazmin wanted me to go with her to the museum." He rolled his eyes.
"Why are you playing with her?" Eric asked.
"huh?" Greyson was confused.
"You don't like her... like you know, the way I like Amy, but you still go out with Jazz?"
"Um... I'm not understanding.." Greyson confessed.
"You are playing with Jazmin's feeling, She thinks you like her. That's why she invites you to places.." Amy said.
"You better clear thing up with her, it might end bad." Eric said
Months had gone by.
Greyson stepped up his game with womens..But not enough to say I like this girl to be mine forever. A girl who does think Greyson's might be her knight in shining armor is Jazmin. Even tho he told her,he didn't want a girlfriend at the moment. Didn't mean she would change her mind. She was willing to wait for him.
She has been texting,flirting and even kissed him once or twice by now. Greyson being a good person, he is didn't want to burst her bubble again. So he let those things pass.
A couple who has been going through ups and downs are the lovely new married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Aveyard.
Their relationship has been tough throw out the pregnancy. Eric had discovered that when his child gets hungry, the mom gets angry. So these last 6 months, since Eric was informed he was going to be dad. Was the toughest 6 months so far, and he still has 1 month till mini Aveyard hits his life.
But that doesn't mean all they did was fight for stupid little things, like 'Why did you take long to get back from the store' and ' I said I love you more, so cork it Eric.'
Their spark was still there to lighten the tunnel.
Poor Estella, Her life hasn't been the best.
She was 100% sure she wanted to go back to Greyson. She was happy with him. She had a good life with him. She felt loved by him. But the fact that the last time she spoke with him was 2 weeks after the conversation she had months ago with Amy, Was making her guilty enough to not even go to her best friend's Baby shower. For multiples of reasons.
She didn't know how she would react to seeing all the attention on Amy and her baby.
She didn't know how she would react if Greyson moved on.
She didn't know if Amy wanted to see her, Because Amy hasn't been in touch lately with Her. Last time she texted her was to tell her the baby shower was in two weeks. About a month ago.
And the last reason was she didn't know how to tell Greyson the truth.
'The baby is due this weekend.'
Estella read the message that had just appeared on her phone screen.
Reading the message for the second time made her wondered.
"Is this her way of rubbing in the fact I lost mine?"
Estella didn't want to get sad again because of the baby. But it was kinda hard not to. Tears fell on her phone. She was convinced on not going to LA that weekend. She wasn't needed there. Otherwise Amy would've called but instead she texted her.
After a while, Estella had freshen up and had got on her computer,surfing the web for a new job again. During that her phone rang.
"Yellow?" She said.
"Blue." He replied.
"What's up Nathan?" She said giggling.
"Nothing... I just got off the phone with Your ex." He said.
"What?"
"Remember Jordan?" He asked.
"Oh yeah.. Blond headed Jordan." She said.
"Well,He is getting married, He invited me and told me I could bring a plus one..... So wanna go?" Nathan asked.
"Wouldn't it be weird?" She asked.
"No, I mean Do you like him?" He asked.
"no"
"Then there wouldn't be a problem.."
"Fine, you win Nathan I'll go."
"Great, pack some things he Is getting married this weekend."
"What? Amy is due this weekend."
"Oh.. then don't worr-..."
"I'll go with you." Estella interrupted him.
"ok good. We leave Friday."
Estella kept surfing the internet for a job, while talking to Nathan. Once they finished speaking, She got off of her butt and went through her clothes seeing what was going to Las Vegas and what was staying in Mexico. By the end of the week, she had packed one gym bag and a suitcase. She hugged Nathan as they saw eachother at the airport, made there way through check out and onto the plan.
"Wow this hotel is beautiful, look at the view.." Estella said stepping into the hotel room.
" Yeah it's one of the best hotels of Las Vegas, and the closest to the wedding." Nathan said. "Wanna go out ?" He asked.
"What?" She quickly replied, her eyes going wide.
"Like go see the lands of Las Vegas, instead of seeing out the window."
"Oh.." She laughed. " Yeah."
"Casino and drinks?" He asked with a wide smile.
"Hell yeah.." She said while going to her room and grabbing her purse.
"Estella, Don't look now, but there is a guy looking at you, Like if he wants to eat you." Nathan said.
Estella turned around not making it obvious,that Nathan had told her. Once her eyes found the other guy's eyes she blushed and turned back around.
"Go talk with him... I'll wait here." He said.
"No." She immediately spoke
"What? Why?"
"I'm just not looking for a new lover." Estella said.
He laughed and said."The guys in Las Vegas aren't looking for love either. They just wanna fuck."
"No... I just... Can we go back to the hotel?"She was lost for words.
"What's wrong?" He asked,while lifting up her head with his left hand, meeting her eyes. "Does it have to do with what happened a few months ago?"
Estella didn't say anything, she simply got off the seat and started walking towards the exit. Nathan paid the drinks and went after her.
"Estella come on you're not taking a taxi. Lets go." He said.
"Are you sure? If you want you can stay." She said while not looking at him.
He took a hold of her hand and guide her to the rented car.
Once they got to the hotel, she went straight to her room and Nathan went to take a shower, he had decided it was better to let her calm down on her own for a while.
So after that while pass, Nathan knocked on her door.
"Come in" He heard and entered the room, going straight to her bed and sitting on the edge of it.
"Tell me everything." He simply said." you know I'm a good listener."
"It's just..." She swallowed. "I feel different. Since that day and I think Amy does too. She hasn't talked to me like we used to. She either doesn't reply until 3-5 days later or she replies me with the OK, Okay... the emoji... like I was passing one of the hardest moments of my life, and she decided to back out?...." she sighed. "I'm not gonna cry anymore."
"So this is about Amy?" He asked and she nodded. "I get it, You wanted to come with me because you think Amy deserves to feel alone." she shrugged. "Are you sure? I mean you have to understand her. She going through something special. Are you sure you don't want to be there?"
She kept quiet.
"I think you should go and be there for her, put a side your anger. She might have a good reason." He said. " she's due tomorrow right? Go."
"I'm not going, I'm going with you to that wedding. Okay, there is nothing you can say to convince me." She said.
"Think about it. Do you want your friendship to end because of some stupid misunderstanding?" He asked.
"Stop, I'm not going."
"I'm starting to believe that it's not only the fact that Amy stopped talking to you, But because you're are afraid of saying the truth to Greyson." He said.
"Don't name him." Estella got off the bed and started pacing to one side and the other.
"So it's that. You don't wanna face the truth."
"Tell me how would you react if I came up to you after not speaking for a while, but when I do it to tell you I lost your first child?"
"I wouldn't know because, that never happened to me, to know how I would actually feel."
"Well I felt horrible, I feel like I don't have a purpose on this world. I feel I let soo many people down. Including myself, My family, who by the way don't even know I lost a baby." She said.
" And you'll continue feeling worst if you don't speak with him." Nathan said.
"I rather feel the guilt,the pain for both of us instead of making him go threw this pain."
"I'll go with you." He said.
"huh?"
"we'll go to LA instead of the wedding.... you need to talk with him and your best friend. I won't take no for an answer."
"no."
"I said we are going." He said.
"And I said I won't go tomorrow."
"Okay, we'll go on Sunday..." He said with a smirk.
She shook her head no.
" You will speak with him."
