Chapter 8

Jane has left leaving me confused and very much bewildered.

And now I am just sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about everything she has just said, and honestly, there are a lot of things I don't understand at the moment, but the only thing that I know for sure is whatever story she told, I was not a part of it. I never cheated on her. Never even thought about it.

She was the woman of my lifelong dreams, no one even got close to how I genuinely felt about her. And it hurts me so much to think she didn't feel my love for her and she would think I would even look at another woman. Let alone think that I cheated on her.

That explains why she disappeared so quickly, she won't talk to me, won't answer my calls and won't open the door at her house. I really can't blame her because If I were her, I won't talk to me either.

I can't imagine the pain I made her go through, without ever meaning to.

I got up from the bed, decided to go see Rafaela and to eagerly tell her what happened with Jane, and think together about the next step. She will know what to do, she always does. I don't think we are going to go with the old plan, or maybe we will. I don't know.

This literally changed everything.

I knocked gently on Raf's door, and she immediately opened the door, looks like someone is eager to know what has happened.

I was in the middle of telling my story and when I started to tell Raf what Jane said to me, instantly Rafaela slapped me.

"You lying little pig!" Rafaela got up from the couch and started smacking me in the arm, in the head, in my back, literally everywhere; her hits were quick and not oriented. She definitely didn't hold back. She was angry. "I am here to help you and be with you, and the problem was that you cheated on her? What's the matter with you? How could you not tell me this? And why would you think that I am okay with this? You selfish bastard!"

I got hold of her hands and forced her to sit on the bed "Okay, first. Calm down. We can't talk like this and you won't be able to listen to me.

Not if you are just screaming at me without letting me finish my side of the story."

Raf just looked at me and started breathing a little bit slower, after a few moments passed, "Well, I am waiting."

"I am highly offended that you could think that I actually cheated. You know me. You know me better than a lot of people. You know the type of person I am. And please, I beg you, don't hit me again you know how hard you hit!"

Her breathing returned to normal and she stopped giving me deadly eyes, but she was still of course confused "How come you didn't cheat yet you cheated? I don't follow."

"I think it was Ben at the house."

"Ben your brother?"

"Yeah," I got up from the bed and started to pace around. I was very nervous, and a million thoughts raced through my mind but I think now I understand what happened.

"Because at that time I went visiting my parents and I wasn't even in the city, I thought it would be a good idea to go and see them since I didn't in so long. I came back the same day at night."

"But she said she heard your voice at the house, how would you explain that?"

I stopped and look at Rafaela "Don't be stupid, Ben and I have exactly the same face, let alone our voices. People mistake us as twins all the time. She could have heard him but thought she heard me."

"Ummm, I don't think she's going to believe that."

"Well, she has to. That's the truth." I started to think for a moment, I don't even think Jane will agree to see me again. I can't just go up to her house after this. She might kick me out.

"What's the plan?" Rafaela snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Honestly? No idea."

"What happened to find Ricky's flaws? We put a hold on that thought?"

"I actually forgot about Ricky" I laughed a little."I know that Jane is a secretive person and there's no way, she would have told Ricky about all of this. She would just say that we broke up for any made-up reason. And it has to stay that way."

"Okay, I never understood how your brain works, so just tell me the plan and I'll do it. I don't even have the energy in me to argue with you."

"You should seduce him,"

"Say what now?"

"Not seduce him as in dress provocatively and wait by his bed! I mean talk to him, flirt with him a little bit, get him to trust you. Then, we will be able to figure out his dirty secrets."

"I don't want to do that."

"What happened to tell me the plan and I'll do it?"

"Well, I didn't think you would come up with such a stupid idea."

"Please Rafaela, we have to distract him so that I can try to talk to Jane. Him out of the picture and me in would be great. Don't you want to help your favorite person in the world?"And I gave her the best puppy eyes I could ever do.

"You are not my favorite person in the world, keep the confidence and the ego to a minimum when I am around, could you?" Rafaela smiled and walked towards me. "Yeah sure, I'll help. What's the worst thing, that could happen?"

I smiled and hugged Rafaela with all the love in the world; I don't know what I would do without her.
