The Wretched And The Divine
The Bones In The Closet
The same day
Isis POV
Ben, Gemma and I were all chatting about something random when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey." He said. I look up to see Ashley leaning in for a kiss and I casually looked away, dodging it. He looked at me confused.
"Let's go." I said, standing up. I waved to Gemma and Ben as we walked out.
"So we needed to talk?" He asked, I carried on walking to the car and waited for him to unlock the door.
"Well?" He asked.
"We'll talk at home." I said.
"Can I have a clue what this is about?' He asked.
"Nope." I said, "Not till later. Now unlock the door."
"Fine." He huffed and opened the car, we drove home in silence while I looked for other stuff on their profiles. Once we were back home I pulled out my phone and found the picture and showed it to Ashley.
"So what's going on with you guys?" I asked, "I thought you weren't talking to her anymore?"
“We’re not,” he said, “But she sent me that photo to use for my clothing line!”
"Right.." I said. "And I'm sure the flirting is just innocent then."
"What flirting?" He asked, "it's just a photo!"
"And the conversations you guys have on twitter?" I questioned, "it looked a lot like flirting."
"So me talking to a friend is flirting now then is it?” he raised his voice in frustration.
"Not to her it isn't!" I said, "She swore she was going to break us up! So you talking to her at all isn't helping."
“She didn’t say that!” he said, “She was being a good friend, like what you did with CC and I did with Gemma when those two started dating!”
"There's a huge difference between giving a friendly warning and being malicious about it." I tried to explain.
“How was she malicious?” he asked with his arms folded.
"You really expect me to remember that, with my memory loss?" I said, getting frustrated.
“Exactly,” he said, “You don’t know what was said, she told me exactly what you said to her, and her feeling threatened. Do you really expect me to believe something you can’t even remember?”
"Of course she's going to change the story around! Why would I threaten her? I barely met her!" I said, "I thought you knew me better than that, I'm not like that unless the person gives me a reason to. I can't believe you're letting her get to you like this." I said, "this is what she wanted to do to us from the beginning."
“How do you know?” he asked, “You don’t remember meeting her. Look, I know you get insecure, but she’s just a friend, and that’s all, nothing more. Why don’t you get that?”
"I remember bits and pieces and the pieces I do remember is mostly the bad." I said, "how about you 'refresh my memory'," I held up my fingers making quotations, "and tell me how I threatened her." He sighed.
"She said that because you were feeling insecure,” he said, “you were going to tell me to stop talking to her, like you are now. She also said that you would try and tell me stuff like this to turn me against her.”
"I give up! It's not like you're going to believe me no matter what I say." I said throwing my hands up, "you'll just have to see for yourself." I sighed as I walked towards the room and sat on the bed. Soon after I hear Ashley talking. It seemed like he was in the phone. I stood up and walked near the door to where I can hear him more clearly.
“I dont wanna do this anymore, Kina,” Ashley said, “I’m hurting her and I can't stand it, I wanna end it.” So was I right? She was trying to cause a rift between Ashley and I. I had a feeling that Kina could make or break this relationship, and so far it was looking like the latter. Just wait till I get my turn with her.
I went and sat back on the bed and pulled my phone out. I scrolled through my inbox and pulled up my conversation with Gemma.
‘So he’s cheating on me’ I text her.
‘WTF????? I’m gunna kill him. What did he say?’
‘I overheard him after our talk where he was actually defending her, and I heard him say something about not wanting to do something anymore and that he didn't want to hurt me, which is too late now’
‘OMG! He’s dead when I see him, so slow and painful or fast?’
'Lets not get carried away.. Lol'
‘so fast?’ I rolled my eyes.
'Sure'
‘Awesome, I’ll message my mate to come over here and help, he’s good at that type of stuff ;)’
'I better not see her plastic face while we are in Vegas or I'll get a blowtorch and melt it myself'
‘Oooo can i help?’
'Of course, someone has to hold her down.'
At that moment Ashley walked in and I quickly hid my phone.
"So I called Kina," he started, "she thinks that you're overreacting majorly, which I do too, there is and will never be anything more than just a friendship between me and kina. It's you and only you, that I want and need. Yes me and her have a history, but it's just that, history. Nothing else."
"But why believe her over me?" I asked.
"I don't know." He said looking at the floor.
"Well you need to think of a reason," I said, "if you love me like you claim to, then it should be me over everyone else, especially an ex."
"I know." He said, "I think, because before you I haven't been in a serious relationship since Kina then I guess I forgot how to be in one, be committed to one person, this is all new to me."
"Well it's new to me too," I said, "but I haven't ran into the arms of another man, like what you seem to have to kina, do you see what I'm saying?" He nodded.
"Yes, and I get that," he said, "but she's been there for so much lately, and I don't want her getting in between us. Tell me what you want me to do."
"I want you to stay away from her." I said, not looking at him.
"That's not fair." He said, "she's one of my closest friends, I can't cut her out of my life altogether."
"When we're in Vegas you don't see her," I said, "and stop flirting with her, no matter how much you deny it, she still likes you more than a friend, or why would she send you a picture like that one! And until you stop sending her signals she won't stop." He nodded.
"Ok," he said, "I'll try my best to get her to back off. I love you, you know."
"I'm still mad at you." I said. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder as he came and sat down next to me.
"Well I know one way to get you to not be mad at me." He smirked, I looked at him and he winked. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the bedroom.
