《We Weren't Acting》Chapter 29 - I Am The Boss Lady
Advertisement
I keep my head down as I walk into Starbucks and walk straight into the washroom.
I pace back and forth while running my fingers through my hair.
I just broke up with Dante.
Damn right.
I broke up with him like a boss lady.
I am the boss lady.
But why do I feel sad?
I laugh at myself and slap my forehead.
Maybe it's because the guy I thought was such a sweetheart turned out completely opposite of one.
I let another man hurt me.
Turns out I don't have good luck with relationships.
I can't believe he called me a princess, who the hell does he think he is?
A king? I don't think so.
Mark is my King.
Speaking of Mark, I'm going to give him a call and hope he can pick me up.
I can't walk because I don't want paparazzi crowding me.
I grab my phone before dialling his number.
"What's up munchkin," He greets as soon as he picks up.
"I'm stranded."
"What do you mean you're stranded?" he replies.
"I mean I'm hiding in the bathroom of Starbucks hoping you can pick me up."
He sighs on the other end of the phone, "I'm across town."
"What are you doing?" I ask confused, I thought he would be at my condo waiting for me.
"I went sightseeing," is all he says.
Damn, I was looking forward to taking him around LA.
"You went without me? How could you sugar?" I reply extra dramatic, and also added a bit of betrayal to my voice.
"Okay drama queen, I swear you're an amazing actor," he says grumpily. "I was bored and didn't feel like looking at the walls of the condo while waiting for you."

Damn who pissed in his cereal?
Haha... me.
Just joking, it was only apple juice.
"Okay drama king, what am I going to do now?"
"Walk," is all he says.
Stupid idiot.
"I can't."
"And why not? Walk like a normal person," he says before he scoffs.
"I'm not a normal person you dufus, if I walk the paparazzi will chase after me and they'll find out where I live."
Mark is silent over the line for a couple of minutes before muttering lowly, "Oh I forgot."
"What am I going to do idiot?"
"Call Dante," Mark pauses, "Wasn't he supposed to pick you up anyway?"
"I ended things."
Silence fills the line before he exclaims, "Bitch why didn't you tell me! Does that mean you're a free woman now?"
"I'll always be available for you my love," I reply sarcastically, "And I'll tell you what happened later, right now I need to call Chris," I say before hanging up not bothering to hear his response.
I know I'm rude, but I'm a woman on a mission.
Scrolling up on my contact list I find Chris, I click the little phone icon beside his name and wait for him to pick up.
"Not the first person I thought would be calling me on this fine afternoon," he says right when he picks up the call.
Damn his voice sounds husky and slow on the phone.
Imagine how his voice would sound-
No shut up, stop thinking about that.
God forgive me, and please give me strength.
"I didn't have anyone else to call, you were my last option so don't feel so flattered."
"You wound me, Lola, I'm on the floor heartbroken."
"Good for you make sure to kiss the floor for me." I say with a smile, "Anyways are you busy?"

"I'm just with my mom over at my place, why?"
"Dante left me stranded on the side of the road, I'm hiding in the bathroom at Starbucks, can you come to get me?"
"He left you where?" Chris asks darkly.
"He left me on the side of the road when we got into an argument, now can you come, I'll send you my location?"
"I'm going to kill him."
"I give you permission to kill him after you come to get me."
He scoffs over the line sounding very pissed off, "I'm coming to get you, stay in the washroom."
"Great thank you so much, I need to lie down at my place I have a killer headache," I say with a sigh and touch my throbbing temples.
"Oh no you're not going home, I'm bringing you back home so you can meet your future mother-in-law." He replies, with mischief in his voice.
What the what?
This guy needs to come down, I can't even tell you what day it is today.
Besides we're not even dating, let alone getting married any time soon.
"Keeping dreaming lover boy."
"You're in my dreams every night, nothing new." He says lowly, "Anyways be ready to meet my moma, she's going to love you." He says before hanging up and not giving me a chance to protest.
If I start running right now to my condo, how far will I get?
