Chapter 171
Nicolas
I was staring at Anton’s number on my phone I wanted to get this over with but I also didn’t, I mean if he says something I don’t like, I know myself I won’t ever speak to him again. And just the fact that he must have said something to Karen to make her think she could come to my business and demand to see me and tell me she will be waiting and she knows there is still a change for us, that in itself made me so angry. After about 10 minutes of staring at my phone I decided to press the dial button. It rang a few times before Anton’s voice came over the speaker. “Thank fuck I thought you were ignoring me.” Was the way he answered the phone. “Well to tell you the truth I was ignoring you.” “Well, we need to talk.” “About?” “I did something stupid.” Anton said. “More stupid than giving Nicol the third degree after you knew why she left and why she’s back, you mean?” “Yes, okay I was an ass to her but I did something stupid and I just want you to know I was drunk when I did it.” “Well Anton I’m all ears. What did you do?” In the back of my head, I already knew the answer but I would like to hear it from him, what exactly did he tell Karen.
“Well, I did ask you and Nicol to come with us to a club if you recall.” “Yes, Anton I recall.” “Candy and I went hard on the tequila…….” He stopped because he wanted me to remember what tequila does to him, but I’m not letting him off the hook so easily. “Yes, then what?” “Well, we bumped into Karen.” I made like I didn’t know who he was talking about “Karen?” “Fuck Nicolas Karen the model you sort of dated before Nicol came back into your life.” “Oh, you mean Karen I fucked and took to the Gala where I saw Nicol. I didn’t sort of date her Anton.” “Well in my eyes you did, because any women you fuck more than once you are in a relationship with.” “Fuck you Anton you know that is not true and I was most certainly not in a relationship with Karen, never.” “Well in my mind you were.” “Let me make it crystal clear to you I WAS NOT IN ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP WITH KAREN!” I raised my voice as I said it which had Anton keep quiet because I never raise my voice never ever, I hate it when people scream or raise their voices.
Anton was quiet for a minute. “Okay fine I made a mistake.” “Is this the first or second mistake Anton?” “Let me start with what happened at the club after we had the tequila.” “Fine I’m listening.” “While Candy and I where drinking, Karen bumped into us like in literally Nicolas she actually bumped the drink out of Candy’s hand.” I know Karen that was on purpose. “Okay then what?” “She made a big scene of how nice it was to run into me because you did introduce us that one time, you surely can remember?” “Yes, my mistake it shouldn’t have happened.” “Well, it did. I poured her a glass of tequila as well and she started to drink with us.” “I take it you were pissed because Nicol and I didn’t come with?” I knew that was were this was going. He kept quiet for a few minutes before he said “Yes I was, I mean you always go clubbing with me.” “Just carry on with your story Anton.” “Well Karen started talking about you and how much she missed you and then I said, she doesn’t have to worry you will leave Nicol sooner or later.” I knew he said something to that effect I was just not ready to hear it from him. “You did what?” “You heard me.” “And what, that was said Saturday night would have given you any indication that I will leave Nicol?” He was quiet again, “I’m waiting Anton. What gave you the idea I will leave her?” “You want me to be honest?” “That would be nice.” I said sarcastically. “Well, I don’t see you as the settling down type, the guy that goes home on a Saturday night because his child is waiting for him. It’s just not you Nicolas, it never was.” With every word he spoke I was losing my shit. I wanted to scream at him, I wanted him to fuck off, I wanted to hit him, there was so many things that went through my mind. But I calmed myself and went with. “People change Anton. Maybe you will grow up some day and will feel exactly the same about a woman.” “Never going to happen I enjoy my freedom I enjoy going out to clubs and get fucked up drunk and fuck whoever I want.” “Well, I don’t anymore there is more important things than getting drunk and going to clubs and fuck random girls.” “Oh, please like what? Going home to the same women every night, having the same boring sex and not having sex because there is a child in the house. Really Nicolas you will leave Nicol I’ll bet my fortune on that.” “You know what Anton the only person that is being left is you. I’m done with you and I’m done with this friendship. I thought we could talk like grown ups and you will respect the decisions I’ve made in my life but clearly you have other ideas.” “You can’t seriously throw away a friendship of years for a woman, you won’t. Not for a woman that left you that kept a child from you for years” Anton said shocked, trying to throw Nicol under the bus. “Oh, believe me Anton I would and I will.” “We should at least talk about it.” Anton tried to back track. “There is nothing to discuss you said everything already. Cheers Anton.” As I started to disconnect the call, I heard him say in the background. “Nicolas please.” But it was too late I disconnected the call and I was done with my friendship with Anton forever.
