After breakfast, which was more like brunch, Corey dropped me back at my place so I could prepare for another crazy week at Java, Java. Laundry waits for no one… unless you don’t want clean underwear. It’ll wait forever if you don’t mind going commando. I’m elbow-deep in dishwater when my phone starts ringing, interrupting my Pink concert for one I’ve been having. 90s music might be my favorite, but sometimes, a girl just needs some Pink in her life.

I don’t recognize the number, and I almost don’t answer, but it’s a local number, and the thought that it could be something important has me answering the call.

“Hello?”

“Babygirl.”

The relief in his voice with that one word makes my heart constrict. It sounds like he’s been denied water for days and can finally quench his thirst. It does something to me, and I want to hate it, but I don’t. I’m a freaking idiot.

I don’t respond because I don’t know what to say. I’ve said my piece already, and he pushed me away. The only thing keeping me from hanging up on him is my conversation with Corey this morning. I hate it, but he’s right. As much as I want to deny it, and despite how badly Hudson has hurt me, I still love him more than anything and want to be with him. If that’s what he wants, he will have to work for it. I’m taking Corey’s words to heart. I won’t be diving back in headfirst. If that’s even why Hudson wants to talk.

The silence stretches for long moments, and if it weren’t for the fact that I can see the call is still connected, I would think he'd hung up. I don’t know if he’s waiting for me to break the silence, but I won’t be. I’ve done enough talking into the ether for one lifetime. It’s his turn.

“I’m so fucking sorry, babygirl.”

The regret and apology are strong in his tone. I can’t help but wonder if he’s sorry yesterday happened or just the way it ended, or is he sorry for the whole clusterfuck that is our failed relationship. Again, I say nothing. I don’t know where to begin. I want to ask, but I don’t have the courage. I won’t put myself out there again. Not until I get more from Hudson.

“Layana, love, talk to me. Please, babygirl,” he pleads, sounding desperate.

Tears fill my eyes, and I have to blink them away. I’ve cried so many tears for this man, and I’m tired of it. I’m emotionally exhausted and mentally drained.

“What do you want me to say, Hudson?” I ask, finally breaking my silence.

“I’m sorry, babygirl. I never should’ve approached you at Ivy’s…”

I snort a laugh of indignation. “Approached? That’s what we’re calling it now?”

“Fine. I never should’ve spanked and fucked you in Ivy’s bathroom.”

The broken pieces of my heart crumble a little more at his admitting yesterday was a mistake. I already knew it shouldn’t have happened, but knowing he regrets it makes it feel that much worse.
