In The End It Doesn't Even Matter-Sequel To, "Tell Me Who You Love!", chapter 13
"What's going on?" I ask, looking from one man to the other.
"I'll go and get some coffee," Tre mumbles, getting up and heading to the counter, leaving me with him.
"Billie, what's going on?" I ask him again. He just looks at me and fiddles with the menu in the stand, peeling away at the corner.
I just sigh and look over at Tre, who is looking over his shoulder at me. As soon as our eyes connect he quickly looks away.
"Coffees," Tre says, shuffling back down and placing the hot china mugs on the table.
"Will somsone please say what we are all doing here," I urge, wrapping my hands around the warmth of the mug.
"We need to clear things up," Tre starts, taking a careful sip of his coffee.
I just look at him, searching for answers. "I need to know what happened," he says. I feel a familiar gurgle in my stomach, and I wasn't hungry this time.
"How long has it been going on?" he asks. I look at Billie, not knowing what to say.
"Er, a few....a couple....maybe...since," Billie starts.
"Since we were 15-" I start, seing Tre's face cloud over. I take a deap breath. "Since we were 15, Billie and me...have always had feelings...I can't deny, they have always been there. We were together a few years back...when he was married. It stopped. Then, it's been going on again for about a 5 months now," I ramble, letting it all out.
"All that time?" Tre asks, trying not to let his anger shine through. I could tell it was there though.
"I'm sorry," I sigh, feeling the warmth of my soffee burning into my skin.
"Do you love him?" Tre asks.
"What?" I ask, almost spitting out my coffee, Billie choking on his too.
"Do you love him?" He asks again, calm in his voice.
"I...yes...I mean no. I did...once. It's all gone. Of course not," I stutter, flushing scarlet.
I look into Billie's eyes and can tell he's suprised.
"This is going to be hard, but I have to do this," Tre says.
Both Billie and I look at him, waiting.
"Cassie, if you we are going to be together, this needs to work. I love you and I don't want to lose you, but if feelings are still there...then it can't happen. So, I need you to chose," he starts.
"Choose what?" I ask, feeling rather sick by this point.
"Who do you REALLY want to be with...Billie...or me?"
"I'll go and get some coffee," Tre mumbles, getting up and heading to the counter, leaving me with him.
"Billie, what's going on?" I ask him again. He just looks at me and fiddles with the menu in the stand, peeling away at the corner.
