Chapter 7

The next day, the weather was more than great. I woke up and opened the windows to freshen the room a bit, I went to the bathroom and fixed myself a shower, I got out of the booth, wrapped a towel around my waist and was checking my hand and making sure it won't hurt or bleed during the day. Yesterday, we just agreed to call it a day and get a little rest before deciding on anything. We agreed to know what we will do today.

I heard a knock on the door, sounds like Rafaela woke up. Little too early if you ask me, she's never the early bird kind of a person.

I walked off the bathroom to tell her open up the door for her and then to go back to get dressed.

But it wasn't Raf

It was Jane.

My eyes were wide, I didn't move for a couple of minutes, my hand was still on the door knob and my mouth a little bit hanging open.

"I should have guessed the reaction," Jane smiled and then looked me up and down. "It's been a while since I saw you... like that."

"Can I come in?" She shifted in her stand and was moving her right foot around; she still didn't look me in the eye. It almost seemed like she was avoiding eye contact at all.

"Um, yeah sure," I moved from the door and gave her room to get in "I'll be back, I gotta get dressed."

"Sure sure, sorry for the unexpected visit."

Why was she here? Did she break up with Ricky after seeing me and realizing how she missed me? No that's a long shot, like a really long shot. Did she and Ricky get in a fight? That's a long shot too but not as long as the first, my head is about to explode. There's only one way to find out. Not asking her of course! Calling Rafaela, she will know what's going on and what to do. Thank god I took my phone from the stand when Jane turned her head, I called Rafaela from the bathroom. She of course didn't answer right away. Such a heavy sleeper.

"Yeah." Rafaela's voice was husky and low, obviously still sleeping.

"Wake up, Raf!"

"You seriously need to stop waking me up like this, let me have my beauty sleep. Bye"

"No, no. Jane's in my room."

Silence.

"Wait, what?"

"As I just said, she came out of nowhere and I am calling you from the bathroom."

"Did she say why is she here?"

"No, any guesses?"

"Not a clue."

"I have to go back to her now, when she leaves, I will come by, okay?"

Silence again.

"Raaff, okay?"

"Yeah, sounds cool." And she hung up.

I got dressed quickly, having hair that's pointed in all directions is a tough job so I did what I could do with it and got out of the bathroom.

I found Jane looking by the window and her face was glowing under the sun rays. I just noticed her outfit; she was wearing a stunning beige sun dress and her black hair fell a little bit under her shoulders. It looked different in her, she used to always cut her hair short. Just a little bit under her chin, needless to say both looked gorgeous on her.

When she noticed me, she smiled and sat on the couch, I sat on the bed facing her and was waiting for her to begin talking.

"Don't look at me like that," Jane started "My hands are already trembling and it's getting hot for me here."

"Why are you nervous?"

Jane looked around and kept rubbing her hands together.

"Jane, look at me."

Jane did anything but that.

"Jane, I am serious. Look at me." I pleaded. "Why are you nervous?"

"You. You make me nervous."

I don't know how many silences are there going to be today, but I didn't know what to say.

"This has been on my mind since last year, and I was always thinking about what would I say if I saw you, if I got the chance to not only see you but talk to you. Will I scream? Shout? or just slap you across that handsome face."

"Woah, can we scroll back a moment? Why do you want to do all of this? You were the one who left the city and ended the relationship!" I got off the couch and started to walk around. I can't sit still in heated conversations.

"I ended the relationship? I barely put a comma on it. You cheated on me!"

"What?"

"Don't act like this is news to you!"

"Of course this is news to me, I didn't cheat on you. That's not why we broke up!"

"Then why Dave? Why did we break up?" Jane got off the couch as well and started to walk towards me.

"I asked you to move in with me and you said no!"

"Of course I said no! You cheated on me! How could I merely be with you let alone live with you."

"What cheating are you talking about? I could never do that."

"Don't lie to me like that. I think I deserve a proper explanation. That's why I am here."

"Explanation? I don't have anything to explain."

"Why are you still denying this?"

"Because I didn't do anything in the first place."

"Remember my business trip?"

"The one in Asia?"

"Yeah, that one. I came back early to surprise you but of course I found a girl in your house. I walked in and heard the sound of you two coming from upstairs."

"I am very confused right now. That didn't happen."

She didn't seem to have listened to what I just said.

"Why? Why was I not good enough for you? We've been together for a long time, but were you bored? Did you want something different? No excuse is ever valid for cheating. You shouldn't have done that, no one should ever do that." At this point, Jane wasn't talking. She was practically screaming. Her nose got red and tears were streaming down her face. "I don't even know what I expected from coming to you. Bye"

With that she got out of the room and slammed the door on her way out.
