Torn Between The Carter Brothers

“Oh wow.” I blurted out, feeling genuinely surprised. I had also caught Aisha cheating, but I hadn’t bothered to mention it cause I thought he wouldn’t care since he revealed that he loved me.

“Yeah, so I ended it last night and severed everything. We’re no longer together as it is.” He continued and I felt more surprise fill up my insides, along with a deep feeling of relief. This was all the final confirmation I needed to fully confirm that that damned Aisha was fully out of the picture.

“I didn’t know you left halfway through the wedding. I searched for you relentlessly, and even after I called off the wedding, you were the first person I looked for.” He revealed into the phone and I felt my heartbeat skip a little as early settled in my chest.

“Oh… I had no idea.” I whispered almost immediately I found my voice.

“Where did you stay last night? You should have stayed on the island till this morning, at least that way you wouldn’t have been all alone last night.,.”

At that question, my heart jumped in my chest and I awkwardly cleared my throat. I wasn’t all alone last night like he had thought. Last night, I got fucked till I forgot my own name…

I awkwardly cleared my throat as I shoved that thought out of my mind as I responded. “Oh, yeah. You’re right.”

He hummed for a bit before continuing. “So… you’ve ended things with Zane, right?”

I chewed at the inside of my mouth before responding. “Yeah,”

A sigh of relief filled up my ears, one which made my heart flutter. “That’s good, that’s good.” He said in response and i shifted around in my seat a little, wondering how he’d react should he discover that my relationship with Zane was never real.

“I’ll return back to the states in two days, then we’ll meet up and have a full conversation, yeah?”

I nodded right after he spoke even though he couldn’t see me.

“Yeah.”

“You want that, right? To meet up and all. I’ll explain everything to you by then without leaving anything out.” He continued and I nodded again, my heart accelerating a little as I responded.

“Yeah, I’d like that.”
