Chapter 13
It has been a week since I talked to Christian. Lina had been acting a little distant lately and I felt alone. I do have other friends but I don't hang out with them as much as I hang out with Lina. I needed to get out of this lonely apartment. There was nothing to do. I would call Lina but she would talk to me for a few minutes and then had to get off the phone. What was going on with her? I didn't know but I did not want to think about it because it would make me really upset. I then heard my phone begin to ring. I looked at the screen and it said Layni and a picture of the blonde hair, blue eyed beauty. Layni was a good friend of mines from high school. She was really beautiful but a little geek when it came to school work. She has two jobs now and she is already married with two children.
"Hello", I said answering the phone.
"Hey, Malia, it's Layni", she said to reassure me that it was her.
"Yeah, I know. What's up?"
"I was just wondering what you been up to. I know we spoken last week but I haven't seen you in over a month girl", she said.
"Oh, I know. I've really missed you though", I said.
"Yeah, me too. So I was seeing if you could stop by my house tomorrow. Kent(her husband) and I were throwing a little cook out for our friends and stuff so if you like, you're welcome to come", she said.
I was really happy about the invite and I immediately said that I would love to come. It was time for me to get out of this house. She said that it would be tomorrow around six o clock. But first, I needed to go check on Lina and see what was up with her. Although I was a little upset that she didn't come to see me any this week or even really talk to me, she was my best friend and I had to check up on her.
As I opened my door to leave, to go to Lina's, there was a manly figure in the door way. Blonde hair and green eyes. It was Christian. I walked out the door and stood in front of him, waiting for an explanation.
"Malia", he said.
"Um, yeah. Look Christian, I really don't want to be with anybody right now and especially not you. You have a wife at home", I explained to him.
"I'm so sorry. I don't want to be with anybody else but you", he said.
I was tired of hearing what he had to say. "Bye, Christian", I said and then I began to walk away.
I then felt a strong hand grab my arm and pain shot up. I let out an ouch sound. Still holding onto my arm, Christian stepped in front of me.
"I love you. Why can't you get that through your fucking head, Malia", he said. I couldn't believe that he was doing this to me right now. How could he do that? He was hurting my arm even worse.
"Let go", I demanded. But he didn't ease up one bit.
"Say you'll be with me", he said. My arm began to go numb.
"Let Her Go!", I heard a female voice say. I looked and it was Lina.
Christian then let go and I stepped away from him and went right to Lina. How did she know to come over here at a time like this?
"Wow", Christian laughed. "Best friend to the rescue, huh?"
"Whats wrong with you?", I asked.
"I think you should leave before I call the cops", Lina said.
"Yeah, sure", he said. I watched him as he walked straight to his car. He then turned back to look at me. "Malia, just know that I will always love you", he said and then got in his car and drove away.
Lina hugged me and asked me was I ok. Yeah I was ok. Not because I was hurt physically by Christian just a minute ago but because I felt free from him for good. Now I knew what kind of person he was. He was not the right guy for me.
Lina and I walked into my house and sat on the couch and turned on the tv.
"What made you come over?", I asked. I just had to know.
"Well, Bryson told me that Christian was going to pay a visit to you and I didn't want him talking anything into your head to get back with him. Knowing you, you probably wouldve gave in", she said. I laughed at her comment.
"Well for your information, I told him no", I told her.
"Really?", she said.
"Yeah, of course. I just had to follow my heart", I said.
We sat quiet for a few seconds and watched tv. I looked over at Lina and I would see her lean her bead down and mess with her nails. Thats how I knew that something was bothering her.
"What is it?", I asked.
She looked at me and she knew that I was not going to stop messing with her until she told me. "I told myself that I wouldn't tell you about this, and I didn't want to upset you", she said.
"What?", I asked.
"Well, you remember when I told you that I overheard Bryson talking to Christian about his wife?", she said.
"Yeah", I said and wondering where she was getting at.
"I heard Bryson say that his wife name was Kimberly", she said.
"Wait, but the woman said that her name was Shana", I said. I was a little confused.
"I know that and that's why I think that maybe he is married to not just Shana but a woman named Kimberly too", she said.
"Wow, but I really don't care anymore. Thats their problem. Let them have to deal with them. But thanks for looking out for me", I said. I gave her a hug and then we turned to our favorite tv show,'Teen Wolf'. We were so into it.
I now know that Christian isn't the right guy for me. I haven't found the guy of my dreams yet. So who was the right guy for me? I didn't really feel like looking for love but maybe one day, I will Find Him.
