ADRIAN CASTILLO POV
I read and reread the message Sophia sent to me for the umpteenth time now and as much as I tried to get over it, I just couldn't.
I wasn't angry with her but I was disappointed because she didn't tell me. After all, she was worried that I wouldn't let her go.
I might not have let her go but I will eventually let her go because it's her life and she is free to do what she wants. I trust her too but now she broke my heart.
I had to switch off my phone yesterday because if I answered her call, I would say some words to her that I would regret later.
My phone buzzed in my hand and Sophia's name appeared on my screen.
I wanted to answer the phone and at the same time, I do not want to because I was still angry with her. She left her phone with a man and he dares to answer her phone call.
I just couldn't help but want to see how she saved my line because if she had saved it as her husband, then he should have know not to answer the call and the words he said to me angered me.
If I was in the States when that all happened, I would have gone to her location and taken her back home.
The audacity for him to ask who I was made it seem like he had something going on with my wife and she left to use the restroom.
Was she drinking? Fuck! A lot of thoughts ran through my mind at that moment. I wanted to smash my phone on the wall after I ended the call but had not done so.
I answered the call when it rang for the second time.
"Thanks so much for Answering, I'm so sorry my love. Please let me explain. I did not intend to lie to you about where I was going to..."
"But you lied," I cut her off.
"Yes and I'm sorry for my actions," she apologized.
"Who was that guy?" I asked her.
I want to know who he is to her for him to have the audacity to answer her phone call. I'm sure she doesn't know him for that long but still, what gave him the right to answer her phone.
"I do not know him," she said and I scoffed.
"You do not know him but you left your phone with him? Seriously? Are we doing this right now Sophia?" I asked her in disbelief.
"Yes. I do not know him. I'm telling you the truth. I forgot my phone not as I left it with him. He was hitting on me and so I left after cautioning him and by the time I went back, he was answering my call. I wouldn't dare leave my phone with him when I know that you will call me at any given time," she explained.
Okay, she is telling the truth.
"So what do you want me to do now? You lied to me and that's it," I told her.
"I'm not asking you to do anything. All I am asking for is for you to forgive me and talk to me. I do not like the way you are speaking to me now." I could feel from the way she spoke that she was on the verge of tears.
I felt my heart tighten, feeling her pain but I was angry too.
"I'm speaking to you now, aren't I?"
"Yes you are but it's not like you want to. You haven't spoken to me how you would." I heard her sob, it was obvious now that she was crying.
I sighed, running my finger through my hair. "What should I say and do?" I ask her.
"And now you are asking me that. I'm sorry," she apologized again.
"Stop apologizing Sophia," I said before realizing that I had called her by her name.
"Ouch!" She said.
"Sophia." She called.
I knew she was going to take it the wrong way. She'd think I was really angry at her when I am.no longer mad but I just need some space to gather my feelings.
"Can we talk later? I'm kind of busy right now," I told her.
I needed to get prepared and leave and if I kept talking to her, I might not get there on time.
"Okay," she said and I ended the call, feeling bad that we didn't come to terms.
SOPHIA CASTILLO
I lie on my bed all through. I couldn't go to class because I was disturbed and as much as I wanted to sleep, I just couldn't sleep.
He called me by my name and also said he'd speak to me later which I doubted because I would be the one ending up calling him.
FROM EVELYN: He still hasn't spoken to you?
I told Evelyn about the issues between Adrian and me and how I couldn't reach him this morning.
TO EVELYN: We spoke this morning but he said he'd speak to me later.
FROM EVELYN: So that means things are okay between the both of you?
TO EVELYN: I don't think so. He is angry with me. He called me by my name Evelyn and he ended the call with me. I don't even know what to do right now. I'm not thinking straight and I want to call and hear from him but I can't because he might be busy.
FROM EVELYN: Ouch. Did he call you by your name? Don't take it personally, I do not think it comes from a place of anger. He will come around. Call him later okay.
TO EVELYN: I will. I just hope he is in a better mood. I really don't want to think the way I'm thinking or maybe it's because I think too much but I just feel he might not love me again.
FROM EVELYN: Baby girl, that's impossible. He can't just fall out of love with you because of this. Don't think so, okay.
