Oscar brought out his phone from his pocket, went to his recent folder in his g allery, clicked on the picture, and pointed his phone to her face so she could s ee it.
“That bastard!!!” Victoria cursed.
“Don’t tell me you believe this?”
“And what should I believe?”
“You really think I am fucking your best buddy?”
“Put yourself in my shoes.”
“And tell me why I am just aware of the fact that you and him had a thing befor e we were together. You wouldn’t forgive me. no matter how much I begged a nd yet you allow him to come close to you?”
“Do you think that shallow of me? Do you believe I would actually fuck your fri end even if I was done with you a long time ago?”
“Watch your tongue, woman. There’s no way you are done with me. We have a daughter and we still have feelings for cach other.”
“Do you know how seeing this made me feel?” He pointed the phone to her, referring to the pictur e on the face of it.
“Do you know how I feel knowing you are friends with Bessie who angers me all the time?”
“Oh. I see!” Oscar mumbled, trying to calm down a bit.
“What sort of silly friendship do you have with a lady that you have known for j ust less than a month? Do you know how the silly thought of both of you havin g a close relationship drove me insane?”
“This picture was definitely photoshopped. I have nothing to do with Greg. He always had eyes for me but I never gave him attention. I only regret doing one thing with him.”
“What?” Oscar found himself asking, hoping it wasn’t what he had in mind.
“That was long before we started dating. He was always throwing advances at me and one day he overheard me on the phone. I couldn’t afford to pay my re nt and my landlady was on the verge of sending me parking.”
“Greg offered to give me the money if I stripped for him.”
“And you stripped for him? For fucks sake Vicky!!!” Oscar ran his fingers harsh ly through his hair, trying so hard to control his temper.
“You want to know the truth and here it is. I’m sorry I kept this away from you but I tried in so many ways to tell you that Greg isn’t the friend you think he is but you wouldn’t believe me.”
I had no idea where to get strength from to say this because this is not someth ing that I’m proud of.”
“He didn’t touch me. He only saw me naked for a few minutes and that was ho w I was able to pay my rent.”
“Trust me, I didn’t want to but I had no choice but to accept his help if I didn’t want to sleep in the streets.”
“I tried to refund him a few months later but he refused to accept the money, cl aiming he had bought me and that I was his property.”
“It was so much torture having to deal with him and his filtering every time he came over to the company.”
“I had a hard time giving in to you when you started throwing advances at me because Greg was your friend and I thought you both were the same, trying to pass me around to take advantage of me.”
“But I got to know you were different from him and at that point, I wasn’t ready to lose you which was why I didn’t say anything to you
“I never loved Greg and I honestly regret what happened. I never had anythin g to do with him after that and you can tell that I always hated his guts
“He called requesting that I have lunch with him but I declined so he showed u p two days ago. I was in these exact clothes in the picture and same with him. The only contact we made was my hand on his cheek. He was so rude and n asty and I dealt with him the best way I could.”
“You are probably here because you now know the kind of person your best friend is. I didn’t mean to keep the news away from you but I was just scared that you would want nothing to do with me afterwards.”
“Call me selfish but I was only trying to protect my relationship and I honestly do not regret it. I’m deeply sorry if you are in pai n about it but I promise you that nothing else ever happened between Greg an d me. Vicky said, trying to get a reaction from him but he kept staring at her wi th a very plain expression.
“Do you love me?”
“Oscar, don’t do this to me.”
“Do what?”
“I want to know if you still have feelings for me or you just enjoy hurting us bot h by pushing me away.”
“Greg confessed that he was the one who got my mother involved. He told her about us and filled her head with lies and there came an arranged marriage f or me and She sent you away from my life.”
“You see that I never hurt you intentionally?”
“You may not hurt me intentionally but people around you did. I was all alone and h ad to deal with my pregnancy with Sophie. I would have been homeless and w ould probably have lost my daughter if I didn’t reunite with my brother.”
“I know you are sorry and you made it clear but apologies won’t make the pain in my heart go away instantly.”
“I already moved on. I built walls around my heart and never did I think I was g oing to see you or have anything else to do with you ever again”
“You may not believe me but I was planning to come over to California this we ekend.”
“I’m sorry about the encounter at the airport.”
“It was not my intention to tell Sophie that her Daddy was dead but She would n’t stop asking and since she is still young to process everything, my response to her at that time just seemed right.”
“Believe me when I say I know how it hurts to be rejected. Sophie was really mad at me when I told her the truth about you being her Daddy.”
Vicky sighed, using that therapy as a way to push back the tears that were bui lding up in her eyes.
Seeing that she was almost in tears, Oscar felt his heart fall. “I’m sorry. Her teary voice came through.
“Come here. He reached for her hand and pulled her closer; he snuck his han d around her waist and did what she least expected.
Victoria’s breath hitched the moment she felt Oscar’s grip around her waist. It was so firm and possessive that she couldn’t. even escape being in his hold.
She had no idea what was going to happen by the time he pulled her closer to himself and before she knew it, Oscar leaned closer to her and took her lips in his.
He sought for entrance by biting into her lower lip and she slowly loosened up, giving him the entrance he wanted.
Vicky was holding on to her bag in her right hand but she eventually let go by l etting the bag fall to the floor, not caring that valuable items like her phone, ta b, and other stuff were in it.
Now that her hands were free, she was able to wrap them around Oscar’s nec k as they both continued to explore each other’s sweet taste.
Sensing that she was getting out of breath, Oscar slowly and unwillingly pulled away.
He hugged her and placed a deep kiss on the crown of her head. “I miss you s o much. Oscar shut his eyes for a while, inhaling her scent, not believing that she was right here, with him, in his arms.
He heard her sniffle against his chest and that caused him to open his eyes. H e pulled away from their hold a little so that he could look into her eyes.
A tear instantly rolled down Victoria’s cheek but Oscar was fast enough to wip e it away with his thumb.
“Why the tears? You regret it?”
She knew he was referring to the kiss so She instantly shook her head.
Oscar cupped her face in his hands, looking deep into her eyes. Even though they were wet, he could still see the glow in them.
“Talk to me, baby.”
Victoria’s lips quivered. She had no idea why she was emotional too.
