Chapter 19. Out with It

Gemma decided to give me privacy with Brice by getting back hours after me. I was antsy when I arrived back at our apartment and quickly took a long shower and then put on my makeup.

More concealer under the eyes, crying every damn night has its downside. I was wearing my jeans and my most comfortable sweatshirt. I was feeling like shit, it was the best look I can pull off for him and I was done lying.

It was exactly eight in the evening when the front door buzzed. My hands were sweaty and I could feel the warmness in my eyes, my tears were threatening to fall when I took a deep breath and told myself to get it over with.

"Come on Ella, the sooner the better," I said to myself as I walked to the door.

Nothing can prepare me when I saw my handsome honey bun bun, my hands were aching to touch his face, I'd missed him so much. But I stepped back and let him into the apartment.

"Ella," he said as he walk past the doorway and closed the door behind him.
