His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 82

“So, like a date?” Luis asked, putting a mug of hot chocolate in my hands. Ellis asked me to have dinner with him, and Vee took over and accepted the dinner invitation

“I don’t know if it’s a date,”

Love, you need to make it clear where you stand about your relationship, or else he’ll take it as a yes and continue to pursue you,”

“Well, I don’t know where we stand!”

Do you want to get back with him?”

“I’m not sure how I feel about that yet, but Vee has already decided. She wants our ex back,” I told him, frowning. He exhaled, and we sat in silence for a moment until I remembered something.

“Luis, can you help me find dirt on Charlotte? I feel she’s hiding something,” he said, looking at me with interest.

Charlotte Casa? Sure,” he said without asking my reason.

I lay in bed that evening, but sleep could not come. I turned and tossed. To make matters worse, Vee continued placing Ellis‘ unwanted pictures in my head. Erotic images. Moments when we stood close, I played in my head. I let myself enjoy the moments as flashes of our past ran in my head. We were happy and in love.

‘Yes, we were happy. He fucked up, but we also reacted too hastily in hurt,‘ Vee said.

I growled in frustration. I was scared to be with Ellis. What if the second time didn’t work out? I’d be forced to see him because of the twins. And there was a promise I made to David.

‘I understand your fears, and they are valid, but what if we try it and it works out?‘ Vee said.

‘And David?‘

‘He knew from the beginning you were in love with Ellis. He used your hurt to glide into your life,‘ she snarled.

I grabbed my phone to call David, and this time, he answered.

“David! How are you?” I asked, sitting upright. He was silent for a moment

“I’m Ashamed,” he answered. I regret how I behaved with you and the accusation I made.”

David, we need to talk,” I said, and he sighed.

“The words no man wants to hear,”

I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night,” I said and ended the phone call.

I would come clean to David about my confusing feelings for Ellis.

The following morning, i woke up early and went to the gym as always. An hour after the gym, I got the twins ready for school.

I did the drop–off before going to work. As I walked through the office space, I could feel people steal glances at me, but they were not hostile. What happened?

Jamie came to my side. He was enthusiastic.

“What’s going on around here? Everyone seems normal after what happened yesterday,”

Well, Mr Krayton spoke to the staff about what happened. He was intimidating,” be sani. Unum. That’s why they are not

gossiping I entered my office, and to my surprise, I found David there, carrying a bouquet of roses. I smiled as I took them from

him.

“They are lovely, thank you,” I said, smelling them before giving thera to Jamie. David grabbed my waist and pulled me for a tender kiss. I pulled away from him.

“I heard about what Charlotte Casa did. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you,” he said with sadness.

“I put her in her place,” I grinned, thinking back at what happened in the lobby. It was satisfying.

David’s eyes were far away, and I nudged him gently. He plastered a smile on his lips that was too rehearsed.

Of course you did, babe,”

What is that look,‘ Vee mumbled.

“I should leave now. I have a meeting with Carter,” he said, and I nodded, deciding we’d talk later. He walked to the door but halted to glance back at me.

You owe me a date. We should go tomorrow,”
