"Lets go tough guy" was the last thing I heard from Athena before she got in Anthony's car
After Anthony drove to her house I just stood there and watched his car drive to her house
I stood there not knowing what to do
I probably stood there for a good 10 minutes after they drove away, I finally got into my car driving to my office
The loud speakers of my car rings in a tone, telling me I'm getting a phone call
I press the green button keeping my attention on the road
"Hey Mason what's up?"
He paused and didn't say anything, you could probably tell in my voice something's wrong
"How did everything go, you know with Athena" he reply's, "Anthony told me everything before he started heading over there when he called you"
I sighed not really wanting to talk about it
"Mason" I paused, "It all went to shit, she found out about this"
"What do you me, this?" He questions
"She found out about my business, the type of business I'm in" He sighs in frustration, taking deep breaths
There's a slight pause, "How did she react?"
"Terribly, she didn't let me explain. It was like all that trust we built just feel apart." I reply, "It was even worse because prior to that, she was almost raped and kidnappe. That was the reason why I called Anthony. So she had all these feelings all mixed together and I just made them worse"
"She probably hates me, Mason"
"Jake, don't say that" he chuckles, "You have been obsessed with this girl sense we were young. Even after she ditched us your feelings stayed the same. And I'm no expert but Athena totally has feelings for you. She just knows how to hide them better"
"She just needs some time to think about everything, use the New York trip as an advantage to talk to her."
"Thank you Mason, I'll see you in a few seconds I'm pulling into the office right now"
He gives me a quick okay hanging up on me
I give myself a second before heading inside
How is she gonna forgive me?
She hates me
She found out at the worst time, how am I gonna fix all of this?
How am I gonna go on Vacation with her?
Thoughts were killing my head, a headache was starting to trill into me
"Fuck Athena, what do you do to me?" Sighing laying back into my seat
Why do you make me feel all these weird feelings?
