"You bitch. You asshole bastard who pronounces ass like arse!"

"I don't do that..." Cole exclaims.

"Yes you do! Why the hell did you have to do that? Lying to your mom? Really? That's a new low, even for you."

"Alyssa I..."

"Don't Alyssa me you bitch!"

"Stop calling me a bitch Alyssa." Cole pouted.

I had called Cole to come to my office and he obviously came, bounding like a lost puppy-frickin 2 and a half hours early from when we were set to meet- thinking I wanted to talk about our relationship. Pfft no. I wanted to talk about how that bastard lied to his mother and stuck me in the many web of lies.

"Then don't fucking lie to your mother Cole! Why would you fucking do that? Why didn't you already tell her?"

"You said you didn't want to talk about this."

"No, I said I didn't want to talk about this right now. That was in the car a day ago. This is today. And we are going to talk about you lying to your mother about our relationship for years."

"Fine...I'm sorry okay. I should have told her. But she would never talk to me had she known that you and me had gotten divorced. She would have disowned me...especially after everything I did to you. And I also didn't want her to worry, she's already so sick Alyssa, this news would've killed her."

I take a deep breath thinking about everything he said, processing. Especially the last bit. Yes, Cole was a coward who couldn't function if his mother never talked to him. Yes, he was a bitch no matter how much he objected to it but this wasn't about him being stupid and not telling her, this was more. This was now about Rosa's health.

"So...what are going to do. Are you going to tell her?" I asked him after.

"Do you want me to?" He looked at me intensely.

I sighed, "No, I don't think you should tell her. Not now anyway. Not if she's in such a bad condition. I don't think we should tell her. Ugh you psycho, now I have to pretend to be all lovey dovey with you every time we meet her."

"Thank you so much Alyssa. You don't understand how great and kind hearted you are."

"You certainely didnt." I scoff.

We both go quiet for a while. Just thinking. How could have today been if Cole hadn't been a jerk and not divorced me? Would we still be happy? Would we still be in love? Would we have had a ch...

I suddenly get up, not wanting to think about my crooked life and how I still could imagine a 'what if...' future with Cole. Especially after all the things that had happened to me.

"Well is that all?"

"Well...I did bring us lunch..." He says gesturing to the bag of Chinese takeout in his hands.

Mmm Chinese. I absentmindedly lick my lips, smelling the aroma of the food.

No Alyssa stay strong! Food is great but eating with Cole is worse.

"I already had lunch." I lie with all my willpower.

Cole frowns at me, "No. I know you. You never have lunch unless your forced to have lunch."

"Uhm...uh...Henry forced me today. Right Henry?" I call out knowing he's been listening to our conversation this whole time.

He doesn't say anything for a few seconds, hoping I won't be able to tell that he's not listening.

"Come in Henry. I know you've been listening."

The door opens and Henry's head peeks out.

"Hi..." He grins sheepishly.

"Hmm, hi Henry." I smile tightly. "Why don't you tell Cole that I've already eaten?"

"No you haven't."

I facepalm. How could he not understand I was hinting him to say yes?

"You are in a whole load of trouble Henry."

All he does that little git is smile and wink at me when closing the door, leaving me here with Cole.

"Well I've eaten but I guess I'm not hungry. So you'll just have to leave now." I say trying to usher him out and trying not to breath in the Chinese food smell.

"I know you like Chinese Alyssa. Besides I did get all your favorite...lo mein, egg rolls, hot and sour soup, chicken ter-"

"Stop right there. I give up! Give me the bag now!" I say and take away the Chinese from him.

I dive right in starting with the egg rolls and look suspiciously at Cole and he just chuckles and takes out the lo mein.

"Bho bin ver vit mings bhts bhe loo min bhist? Uv Inshan!" I point out with my mouth full.

"What?" He asks.

I swallow, "I said, who in their right mind eats the lo mein first? Your insane."

"Who eats nachos with ketchup? Your insane."

"I don't do that anymore!"

"Mhmn sure you don't."

"I eat it with salsa and maybe sometimes ketchup. At least I don't eat pizza with a fork and a knife!"

"Hey, I don't do that anymore either." Cole defends.

"Sure you don't."

"Fine I'll prove it. We go out for pizza tonight and I'll show you that your wrong."

I glare at him. "No mister. Your not fooling me again. I only fell for this today cause its Chinese. I'm not falling for Pizza. I can get it myself tonight. And I will pay for the Chinese too."

"Lyss stop it! I'm not letting you pay for anything! Can't we just hang out as friends or soemthing? I know you don't want me but can't we at least be friends?"

"No Cole. We can't. This arrangement is only for Rosa and not for you. You hurt me before Cole and I can't let you do that again."

"I promise Alyssa I won't ever hurt you again. I'm sorry. I was so stupid back then and I really want you back. I need y-"

"Well I'm sorry but I'm already seeing someone." I blurt out. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Why did I frickin say that? I'm not fricking seeing anyone why the hell did I have to lie.

"What?" He says looking completely heartbroken. "Who? Who are you seeing?"

"Uhm-uh Wy-Adam! Adam. I'm seeing Adam." I say trying not to sound like I'm lying.

"Your biting your lip. I've known you for a long time to know that you bite your lip when you lie, Alyssa."

"I...um...no I don't. I am seeing someone and his name is Adam."

"But I checked and you weren't seeing anyone." Cole mumbled.

"You what?" I ask.

"Nothing." He mumbles.

"Right. Ok. Are we done here now? I won't pay for the Chinese now. But next time for any reason we have to pay for something-" He looks hopeful at my words, "I don't mean that there will be a next time but if there is I'm paying."

"Okay. I guess I should go then. Bye, Alyssa. I love-I'll see you soon." He says looking at me sadly.

The door closes and I look at it for a couple of seconds but it opens back again.

"Henry do you have the Warsaw Enterprise documents for me?" I say thinking its Henry.

But it's not. Its Cole. Again.

"Cole." I say a bit surprised that he's back.

"Did you forget anything?" I ask looking around.

"Yes," He says, "I should have told you before. But I forgot to say I love you. I know, you don't want to hear it from me but I do love you. I love you so fucking much and I'll never stop staying it, no matter how much you hate me for it."

And with that, he closes the door and leaves me speechless.
