Chapter 23 - SOMETHING NOT EXPECTED

The man in front of her... She meant her ex-boyfriend, laughing at the question from Rebecca's tiny lips. He didn't even answer Becca's question but shook his head as if something was wrong with her.

"You'd better eat your breakfast and let's go," said Tommy.

Becca, without feeling nervous, shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. In fact, in her heart, she was really curious about whether Tommy really asked her to come back to him or not.

"Before going to your parents' house, let's go to mine first. Lily really wants to meet you."

Lily was Tommy's mother. A middle-aged woman who really liked Becca and even treated her like her only daughter. And they hadn't been home in a long time.

"You weren't there all this time?" Becca asked.

Tommy shook his head. "With you is the last time."

"Hah ... you're a total jerk, Tom. You should have visited your mother."

"Don't you remember my vow that I would come home if I was with you?"

Becca blinked a few times until she remembered Tommy's vow that he would not come home if not with her.

Huft ... Becca sighed. Living with Tommy... No, she meant, during her relationship with Tommy, she realized that her ex-boyfriend was really a man who was full of promises and never broke.

She could see that there was a true side to Tommy. That showed the man being held in his speech. And Tommy really proved it.

"If there's something good to do, you shouldn't have to wait for me. It's a good thing to visit your parents, you should know that," Becca advised.

"I'll think about it. Coming back home with you is peace, Rebecca. The only difference is it's in the apartment that might be the exception."

Tommy's cell phone beside him, which Becca could see on the screen, rang. Paige's name appeared on the screen of her cellphone, making Becca's heart feel like it was gone for a moment.

Tommy, who realized there was an oddity, immediately grabbed it and then hung up the call. He also turned his phone screen upside down.

"Hmm... why don't you pick it up? Maybe your new girlfriend needs you," Becca asked.

She didn't expect Paige to still have the courage to contact Tommy. She did give her a condition not to appear before Tommy again, but who knew that she was still calling him? It sucked.

This makes Becca reluctant to be friends with her again. Maybe she should cut off her friendship again after Paige begged her.

"I told you, I'm not dating her. Not even anyone!" said Tommy, exclaiming.

Several times Becca sighed and then she finished her breakfast which was still quite a lot left. She had absolutely no appetite after seeing Paige's name on the screen for herself.

"If you've finished with your laptop, we'd better get going. The sooner, the better," said Becca. She stood up and started to enter the room.

With a body that she felt shaken at the name Paige, Becca hurriedly grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. And there she began to cry silently.

***

Never blame girls if their mood has turned sour. Moreover, the main cause is jealousy of the presence of other girls in her relationship with her partner.

Becca realized that she and Tommy were no longer dating, but fellow exes. But what made her so hurt, again and again, was when the cause of her breakup came back.

If girls remember something that hurts their hearts, they will remember it forever. Especially infidelity that is clearly visible in front of their own eyes.

When Becca thought she had cried enough for herself, she washed her face and was silent for a few moments until she felt that all was well.

Coming out of the bathroom, apparently, Tommy was ready. Just wait for Becca and she'll use that time to make up to refocus on her revenge.

"Lily's outside. So we'll meet her outside," Tommy announced.

"Okay."

The short answer was enough for Becca considering she wanted to ignore Tommy as much as she could. But for Tommy, the short answer was the beginning of doom.

"Don't you want to buy something for her?" asked Tommy.

"Yeah, we can stop at the bakery as usual."

Tommy's jaw tightened at the short answer Becca gave him. Even though she seemed ordinary, he knew that there was something out of the ordinary about Becca from the moment she saw Paige's name appear on the screen of his phone.

He waited quietly on the edge of the bed playing with his phone while Becca stole glances at him in the mirror. She was ready with her makeup but the zipper on the back of her body was not completely closed.

"Tom, can you help me close the back zipper?" Becca asked.

Tommy lifted his head. He saw Becca's back, which was exposed. He stood up and so did Becca. Then she put her hair aside for a while with silence and thoughts that were starting to run wild, Tommy closed the zipper slowly.

But suddenly his hand stopped, he touched her smooth back and suddenly he turned Becca's body.

His breath was already ragged. They looked at each other and Tommy returned his focus to his ex-girlfriend's lips. He had been wanting to make love to her for a long time. Ask her to go back to the great sex. He knew making love would reduce everyone's sense of gold, and according to Tommy, asking Becca to come back after sex was the right thing to do.

When their lips were about to touch, even though they had greeted each other for a while, Becca immediately turned around and covered her back.

She knew that Tommy was looking for an opportunity to touch her lips with his and that Becca, who had been teasing him on purpose, had managed to thwart Tommy's lust.

Tommy grumbled and cursed in annoyance at the same time. He even chuckled while thinning his lips because of his failure.

"I'm ready, come on, let's go," she said triumphantly.
