“I’m so sorry,” I tell her. “Fuck. I feel like an asshole.”
“You thought I was what? Friends with her and feeding her information on you? Seriously?” her voice rises, and I know exactly why.
“Honestly, my mind went into protection mode. I’ve worked hard to keep private, and then suddenly I was thrust into the public eye. Work is shit and I’m dealing with a whole of lot a shitstorm from the past.”
“And why would you think I would know that woman?” she asks defensively.
“My ex, Becky, is the reason I have a lot of people pulling their business out of mine. Why suddenly a lot of people are writing shit on the web about you and I. And that woman, sitting in the blue Lexus, she is the sole reason that all this shit is happening.”
“Why?”
“Honestly? I don’t know. Jealously?”
“Well, what did she want when you and her spoke last?”
“She wanted to get back together, and when I said no, she threatened me. But she’s got no backbone, and I thought nothing of it. Shit. I am so sorry that I accused you of knowing her.”
“It wasn’t cool. I would have thought that you would have known me better than that, that I would never.”
“Listen, you have to know. I wasn’t thinking.”
“Go. I think you need to take care of your business. I need to think.” She steps away from me.
“I need to make sure that we’re okay. I’m sorry.”
“I hear you. But I have to get ready for work. And you have a lot on your hands too.”
I want to bed for her to let me stay. But I know not to push. And there’s a lot that I need to do on my end as well.
Like confronting the woman sitting in front of this building in the blue Lexus.
