Chapter 11

Bishop

I. fucked. Up. I’m pretty sure it happened yesterday while explaining what was going on between us, who Cara was to me. I’m not sure what I said wrong to her, but I know I fucked up somewhere. My explanation didn’t satisfy her curiosity and seemed to only complicate the situation more. I could see it in her eyes, the trust I was starting to build, gone. The way she was wary of me getting near her. I felt it in the silence on the way home and how we left things when I dropped her off. She didn’t want me touching her.

It went against my better judgment to leave her alone. I had eyes on her though, and I knew she was safe. I am determined to give her the space she said she needs. I know I had bombarded her with a lot. I’d need a break too, after all, she had gone through.

I wasn’t ready to have that conversation with her. I wasn’t prepared for what I should tell her. I should have told her how she made me feel, like I was finally whole, that the missing parts of me have been found. I would have said I felt blessed with her as my soul mate, that God couldn’t have chosen a more perfect match for me. Fuck I’m such a pussy for her. No way in hell am I letting the guys know about this.

Trying to give her the space she asked for, I don't call or text her. Instead, I decide to go talk to my Nono Peter. I tell him about what happened, and he shakes his head at me like I’m an idiot. Yep, I fucked up.

“You better take care of her son. I know your father, bless his soul, raised you to be smarter than that. Think about everything that she has gone through in the past month.” He tells me.

I shake my head, pissed at myself for being a selfish asshole, remembering some of the things I had said to her. “Yeah, Nono. I get what you mean.”

He nods at me, and when I turn to leave, he grabs my shoulder. “You’re an Arnetti, Bishop. You'll figure this out. We aren’t always perfect, but you’ll know what you need to do when it counts.”

“Thanks, Nono. I’m gonna get going.”

I make it home and decide to call her, but no one answers, so I leave a message. I go for a run around my property hoping to get rid of some of this energy I’m carrying. When Greg calls me back, he tells me that she’s asleep, so I attempt to sleep myself. I keep waking up checking my phone hoping to see a missed call or text from her, my Princess. I don’t.

Waking up for the last time, I decide I’m done. I send her a text and let her know I’d be picking her up for school at 8:00 so we can talk before class. I didn’t hear from her, but I don’t expect to.
