Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

ATHENA

"Just tell me the truth. I won't be mad." Isabelle says as she jumps in my bed.

"Something happened between you two, right?”

I play dumb.

"Nothing happened."

"Girl. Did you sleep with him?" Her eyes widen.

This is why I hate Isabelle's good observation skills. It's impossible to get something past her.

"No. I mean not in that way. We just shared a bed because only one was left. Besides, I was on my period!"

My cheeks warm at the memory of how cute he looked as he fumbled with words not knowing what to do. I've never seen him hesitate as much as he did that day.

It was as if...

Woah!

Why am I thinking about him? Like that?

"Bitch, you're smiling!"

I whip the pillow at her face. "Shut up!"

Isabelle dodges it dramatically like she's in an action movie, then grabs it and hugs it to her chest.

"That smile was not innocent," she eyes me. "Spit It out! Did you get back with him?"

I slowly shake my head.

Did I though?

"Athena-"

"You're going to give me a speech about Zayan aren't you?" I lay down facing the ceiling.

She sighs.

"He is a good man and wouldn't hurt you. Alex on the other hand is the worse of the worst. The man has no morals and the law doesn't apply to him. With that tattooed guy by his side, they look like they kill for sport and work at the company as a disguise."

I snort, turning my head toward her.

"You're make them sound like they own a cartel and they sell human parts."

She doesn't laugh.
