~Leo~
I wasn’t ready to face Tamia yet, so when Max and Kyle accosted Sylvester and me, I used the opportunity to part ways.
I knew seeing Tamia was inevitable, and I wished it would be easy, but I knew it won’t.
The last time we spoke, she was hurt.
I remembered the hurt in her eyes that day. I saw her give up completely, and it was all my fault.
I knew she was happy with Sylvester, but I still found it hard to move on.
She was mine right from when she was seventeen. Who would have thought our time together would be short-lived?
I felt ashamed of myself.
She had done what I failed to do.
When she reminded me of my promise the night she returned home naked and in pain, I sat on the couch and could not speak.
The truth was, I did not expect her to understand. I did not expect her to see things my way. I was afraid to let go of the rare gift given to me, and I expected her to accept it.
I knew that that was my inner truth.
When she complained and showed disappointment, I often told myself she would do the same thing in my shoes.
Even though I knew Tamia was very loyal and devoted, I believed she would do the same in my shoes.
I had told Devin that she would have rejected him for my sake, but I did not believe my words. I just wanted to discourage him from pursuing her and getting her in trouble with Sylvester.
After hearing that she rejected Devin, I felt ashamed of myself.
How could I face her knowing I had failed her?
Sylvester Volkov was a better man for her.
He made a promise and stuck to it.
She made a promise and kept it.
There was no way anyone or anything could come between them. There was no way.
I needed to prepare my mind for my friendship with Tamia. It will be hard. It would be difficult to see and talk to her, being in the same space with her and having limits around her.
It will be difficult because she was once mine.
I needed to prepare my mind for the torture I would experience through the friendship, but I was grateful to Sylvester for his kind gesture.
A challenging friendship with Tamia was better than silence. It was better than being estranged from her. At least I get my confidant back, someone I know I can trust and rely on. I was excited about it. However challenging it will be, I was excited about it.
