Chapter Twenty-One — Reconciliation

Irene’s POV:

I had such a rough and sad day. I was still sulking over what Davis told me about them kissing when they called everyone for an important announcement about their engagement party. I can’t believe I felt for all of Will’s sweet words and started letting myself love him to the point where I’m hurt by his actions.

I wish I never met him. I feel even worse than how I felt when Mark my ex said he was in love with someone else. I didn’t even have time to think about it at work because my boss sent me a new deal I had to work on. She said it was really important and I had to work on it before tomorrow and I have been trying to focus but I can’t. and now that I was trying to focus the loud Music playing opposite my house wouldn’t let me.

I just don’t get it. He has broken me in ways I never thought he would or could now he was out to continue frustrating me. How did he expect me to concentrate with all the noise and all the heartbreak? Why was he even sleeping here now? He hasn’t slept at his house for a while now. Maybe his fiancé was with him.

I stopped all I was doing immediately and made my way to his house. After hitting the doorbell over and over, he heard and answered.

Immediately he saw it was me he chuckled and walked back inside with the door open for me to go in. he turned down the volume of the music to hear what I had to say but there was no need because I was shouting at the top of my voice.

“What is your problem Will? I’m trying to come up with Ideas for tomorrow’s presentation and you just wouldn’t let me be. Why are you bent on frustrating me to the end? Now I see well enough to realize I made a mistake for ever having feelings for you, you turned out to be just like my ex and I am not even Surprised, it seems it’s a thing with all guys called ‘Mark’ just leave me alone and turn off this music!"

He paused. I didn’t plan on telling him I had feelings for him this way but I just couldn’t help it.

“You have feelings for me?” he asked as he stopped the music from playing.

I scoffed “Does it matter now? Your engagement party to the one you love is in 3 weeks"

“That’s…That was all a lie” he brushed his hands through his hair “You caused all of this, Right after I confessed my feelings to you I heard from Davis that you were going on a dinner date with him, and I didn’t believe him at first but then I got to the restaurant just to see that he was right and like that wasn’t enough You said Yes to being Davis’s girlfriend, that’s why I was upset and jealous and I thought announcing the engagement will make you see that I wasn’t a fool you could choose someone else over” he said.

I can’t believe he did all that because he was trying to make me see I couldn’t choose someone else over him. That’s the most childish thing I’ve ever heard.

“Well that’s so childish and just so you know I never said Yes to Davis. I do not have feelings for him at all and I have made it known to him already. And who even told you all that lie” I asked.

“If you do not like him why were you out kissing him and saying you love him?” he asked.

“Because I was mad at you and jealous and I wanted to make you Miss what we had. Or even make you jealous. And why are you even asking when you were also kissing Megan in the elevator?” I asked.

“What! Kissing Megan? I never kissed Megan again after that time you walked in on us and she was the one who even forced it then. But after that it never happened again I made sure of it. Wait who told you all these lies?” he asked.

“I’m guessing the same person that told you all those lies about me” I replied and shook my head.

“Davis!” he scoffed “He’s such a bastard, I will beat him up at work tomorrow"

“You can’t do all that. He was obviously setting a trap for us to hate each other. We have to play along now and get to know what he’s really up to and after I turned him down today I am pretty sure he would be planning something else. And what are you even going to do about your engagement? see why you don’t just make decisions when you’re angry?"

“I’ll call it off. I have to.” He replied.

“Do you think Megan’s working with him?” I asked. Since she was crying the other day after she heard Will confess his feelings to me.

“I don’t know. Why? Did she also say something?” he asked.

“No. but she heard you confessing your feelings to me the other day. Turns out she was by the door and she heard everything. I bumped into her while I was walking out and she was crying” I said.

He scoffed “Now I get. She should be in on it too. That day she pretended and said she was crying because her dad was sick and she was scared so I wouldn’t talk about ending the relationship. I can’t believe it"

He stood up and walked closer to me and put his hands on my shoulders “I’m sorry I foolishly fell into their trap, I’m sorry I let my anger get the best of me, and I’m sorry I hurt you. I love you so much Irene. And I would never do anything to hurt you or choose anything or anyone over you. And I promise I will fix all the foolish decisions I made while I was Mad. Please forgive me?” he said.

I loved him too so much and I know how seeing him with another woman made me feel. There’s no way I would let him go again.

“Yes, I forgive you and I am so sorry for not talking things out with you, and even more sorry for kissing Davis. I love you Will. I love you so much” I said as he placed a kiss on my temple and put his arms around me bringing me into a hug, a really warm and comforting one.

After the reconciliation he wanted me to stay longer but I explained to him I had to work on an ad for some clients we had tomorrow.
