making things right
Chapter 29 (Becky's POV)
I was a miserable woman for more than a week already.
And even now, Aron didn't stop sending me texts every day.
Like what the hell dude? He broke up with me but wasn't willing to let me get over him.
So right now I was blasting music on my earphones so loud I could turn off everything else.
I was also cleaning my house.
After all, I had to finally get rid of all the evidence of Aron ever living here.
I didn't want to be reminded of him every day after all.
I also had to get my phone number changed as soon as possible, but I just didn't really feel like going out of my house just yet.
Maybe in a couple of days. But definitely not today.
So I continued cleaning and singing to the songs playing in my head.
Of course, it was a special playlist made for a broken heart.
So there were songs such as, Didn't I?, You broke me first, Leave before I love you, and so on.
I guess you get what I mean.
Suddenly my singing got cut off by a ping from my phone alerting me that I had a message waiting for me.
I huffed in exasperation but still took out my phone to check who was disturbing my pity party.
To my surprise- not really- it was Rachel and Ana in our group chat.
Ana: Hey girls. Are we still up for tonight?
Damn it. I forgot. They wanted to take me out and cheer me up.
But I was really, really not in the mood.
I was thinking about a good excuse when another text came through.
Rachel: Yep. We are still on, and Becky if you are not lying dead in some hole, no excuse will get you out of our night.
Damn it!
Sometimes it was not good to have a best friend that knew you practically since you were born.
Ah, I give up. Sometimes it is best to admit defeat.
Becky: Fine. Pick me up at 6.
They both gave me a thumbs-up and heart emoji and that was it.
I still had 2 hours to get ready but if I wanted to look presentable I had to hurry.
15 minutes before the girls were going to arrive I was all done.
I had a light blue dress that hugged my upper body perfectly but flared out from the waist down.
I curled my hair and pinned it back from my face, adding some light makeup and earrings that my parents gave me on my 18th birthday.
Just when I was done making sure it was all as I wanted it to be, girls arrived and blasted the horn to let me know.
I grabbed my purse, locked the door behind me, and joined them.
Tonight we were expanding our circle once more and adding another person.
Vicky.
So right now we were on our way to her restaurant and honestly, I was kind of excited.
Once we parked the car we entered Vicky's place and as soon as we did she jumped on us, starting us in the process.
"You girls have no idea how happy you made me by inviting me tonight."
All three of us chuckled at her enthusiasm, but I did remember Aron telling me that most women found her intimidating and stayed clear of her.
Which I kind of found funny.
Sure she was over the top happy all the time but she was also the sweetest person I ever knew, and I think I knew quite a few people.
When we finished our hug she took us to a table for four and told us to take a seat while she checked on the food and brought our drinks.
So far I didn't regret my decision to go out tonight.
The evening was nice and maybe the company of my friends was exactly what I needed for my broken heart.
A few minutes later a delivery boy stopped at our table and I looked at him confused when he said my name.
"Uhm yes, that would be me. Why?"
A huge grin spread across his face at my words.
"Thank God. This place is so crowded that I feared it would take me hours to find you. Here I have a card for you."
As I took the card I turned it over in my hand to see who it was from but no name other than mine was written on it and underneath was a message.
We first met here for lunch,
I felt you were special, call it a hunch.
Next time it was just a drink,
But the evening was over in a blink.
Maybe I messed things up,
But remember this tonight,
You are always on my mind.
Xoxo
I was looking at the card in my hand with confusion written all over my face.
What the hell?
When I lifted my head all three of my friends were looking at me expectantly.
But since I had no idea what this was supposed to mean I just shrugged my shoulders and started chatting with them again.
They wanted to know about the card but as I was not willing to tell them anything they dropped it.
Our food just arrived and was placed in front of us when I noticed the second card, pinned under my plate.
I lifted it slowly and again there was no name except mine on it so I started reading it.
You made your way into my heart with such speed,
I had no time to go over the fine print.
But suddenly it all felt perfect in my life,
And someone decided to mess it up.
I said the final words of course,
But try to ask yourself,
Did it sound like the words that came from the soul?
Or like someone tried to ruin it all?
There will be another card coming your way
I will reveal myself after that,
But be prepared because this time, I am going to stay.
Xoxo
I had a feeling who was sending me these cards, but I didn't quite understand his words.
Hopefully, the last card would make things clear to me.
Girls wanted to know about those mystery cards and this time I told them. Even who I was thinking was behind it.
Ana confirmed my suspicions and Rachel and Vicky just nodded their heads letting me know they agree.
So we confirmed it. Aron was my mystery man.
But what was his point?
Well, guess I had to wait and see when the third card arrived.
And I didn't have to wait for long.
A few minutes later it arrived with my dessert.
But there was still no Aron in sight so I got to reading it.
This time though it wasn't a poem.
Dear Becky.
I know I messed things up big time.
But know that when I broke your heart, I broke mine as well.
Leaving you was the hardest thing I ever did, but I had to do it.
I had to protect you from the evil person in my life.
I wish I could say this story is taken care of, but she would probably continue to mess with our relationship.
That is if you are willing to give me another chance.
Always yours Aron
Xoxo
My eyes started to tear up when I lifted my head only to realize I was now sitting with Aron and my friends were nowhere to be seen.
Traitors.
"Hey, Becks. I know it's no excuse for what I did to you, but I swear I had a good reason. My mother wanted to ruin your reputation and I couldn't let her do that. But when I told everything to Mason I realized I don't have to fear her. We took care of her threats and are building up a case against her, to get her away from us both. Now the only question I have is if you are willing to forgive me and give me another chance?"
I only thought about it for a minute before planting my lips on his and letting him know my answer.
But if he thought he was getting off the hook that easily, he was wrong.
As I moved away from him, I gave him a stern look before speaking.
"You ever pull that kind of stunt again, and I will castrate you on the spot. Are we clear?"
He laughed and gave me a light peck before he answered.
"Understood. And if you were wondering, I love you, Becky."
Am I weird to melt at those words? I think not.
"I love you as well Aron."
You can guess that night wasn't long enough for all the make up sex we had planned.
