Chapter Fourteen

Henry

Her tiny cries grip me from the inside. I was her Dream, but her dreams were to travel and find her soul mate.

“Henry, you will always be My Boo, always and forever. But it is time for us to let go. You have a beautiful lady; she is elegant and graceful; I know she loves you. You have the rest of your life together. Go and enjoy it.”

I was about to reply to her, but the line suddenly went silent. I tried to compose myself, wiping away my tears before pressing redial, only to feel dejected when the call didn’t connect. I keep pressing and pressing, but nothing. I wanted to tell her I love her and that my love will never fade; it will stay forever.

“Henry, are you in the bathroom?”

Clara’s voice is like a lullaby, drawing me out of my thoughts. “Yeah, I will be out in a second.”

“Okay, darling, would you like me to pour you a drink?” I smile as a few more tears escape.

“That would be lovely.”

I had to let go of my past, but I still held onto the faintest glimmer of hope that she might come back. My love for Clara is strong, yet my love for Alice is incomparable.

Taking a deep breath, I splashed cold water on my face, preparing for the hardest goodbye I’d ever have to make. I kept clinging to that little hope, the only thing that kept me going.

Seeing her the other day stirred up so many emotions. It made my heart flutter with delight.

“Hey, boss, what time are we leaving this evening? Clara asked me to find out.”

“I’m not feeling all that well. I will take a rain check. Could you take her, and I will get Pete to pick her up? You can take the rest of the night off, Blake.”

Standing in front of the vanity unit, I gaze at the unfamiliar face in the mirror.

“Mr Parson, are you okay?”

“Yes, I think it’s something I’ve eaten. I will be fine. Enjoy your night off.”

“Thank you, boss. I will see you tomorrow. If you need anything, I will have my phone on me.”

“Thank you, Blake, your too kind.”

Why does this feel the same as when she walked out three years ago? The old me would go out and fuck to numb the pain. The new me is feeling the same way.

As it grew late into the evening, I found myself looking back through pictures from the past. The pain is too much to bear, and the worst part is I can’t show it.

I need to get this out of my system; I head to the gym, jumping on the treadmill, pounding it until I can’t feel my feet. This is therapy, but I can’t help but play Make me feel by Elvis Drew. The song Alice played that night when I watched her get undressed. As well as code blue by the Dream.

After running on the treadmill for an hour, my feet and legs were throbbing with heat, so the water in the pool gave much-needed relief to my aching body.
