Chapter 24

Mike

Is this what karma felt like? Please let me know. My heart was heavy. I hadn’t spoken with Lucinda all week. The first couple of days were by choice. I was tired of refereeing her and Aldris around each other and even more tired of having her second-guess my feelings for her over bullshit behind Aldris. My stance against talking to her was pretty easy because Lucinda didn’t reach out to me either. After a couple of days, I began to feel bad and really miss my baby, so I tried to reach out to her only to find out that she still wasn’t talking to me. No answered calls, no return phone calls, and no return texts. Nothing. I even went to her condo because surely she couldn’t avoid a face-to-face conversation, but she wouldn’t even answer the door. Now I would think that maybe even if her car were sitting plainly in front of her condo, she could’ve possibly left with a friend, but not when I could hear her inside the condo laughing at whatever was on television. Yep. She straight ignored me.

How did I know? Well, after the fifth ring of the doorbell, which I could clearly hear was working, through the blinds I saw her get up, turn the television off, and go to the back of the house. I wasn’t being stalkerish. I simply missed my lady, that was all. Didn’t she miss me, though? Didn’t she even care? I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. I was starting to sound like a complete bitch.

I knew what was really bothering me, though. All our issues had one common denominator—Aldris. How could my relationship grow if her ex was a constant concern? Even if that ex happened to be my former best friend. For that, dating Lu was fucked up on my part. I’d never denied that. All I was saying was that I couldn’t help that I loved her. Was it really wrong to date Lu after she broke up with Aldris? I mean, I didn’t cause the breakup, and I damn sure didn’t approach her even when I wanted to. She was never his actual wife. There was no scandal, no affair. Aside from pissing off Aldris, how was I wrong? And why was karma fucking with me when I tried to do everything right? I didn’t tell Lu to fall for me. I didn’t force my feelings or hers. In the grand scheme of things, I believed we had these feelings for each other because it was honestly meant to be. Either karma was being a bitch right now, or Aldris was the problem. Maybe it was both. Whatever it was I didn’t like it. Not one bit.

“Hi! You’ve reached Lucinda. I’m unavailable to take your call at the moment, but if you leave your information, I will call you back as soon as I get a chance. And if not, you have to try to catch me again. Have a good one, mis amigos! Beep,” I said along with her voicemail.
