Hey guys so I'm still working on chapter 5 and rather than leave you guys high and dry until I can finish it (I'm shooting for having it finished this weekend, but no promises) I decided to do an interlude about a few of the characters, while I fight with Melodi and Kaiden about them continuing to stay silent (yes I'm one of "those" authors who lets the characters tell their own stories and when they act up, I can't write). I want to try and put one out in between the next few chapters to give people more insight to the other characters. I hope you enjoy them
- C
To be read between GOL Ch.04 & GOL Ch.05
Interlude: Trinity
'I shouldn't be jealous. I really shouldn't. Not only is she my best friend, but also she just met this guy. A lot could still happen, nothing is set in stone. I just wish that Micah would do the things he used to do. He's extremely distant and I feel that distance growing larger everyday. We've been together for almost 4 years and we still have yet to get past the living together stage. I need to do something before I end up losing the man I love. I just don't know what...' My inner monologue plagued my mind the entire drive home from the shop.
After hearing about what had happened between Melodi and Kaiden Andretti earlier and leaving her daydreaming over the wedding cake order we had coming up, I fell prey to my own insecurities and my relationship.
I wasn't the tall, athletic type like Cassie nor did I have the sugary sweet relationship like she did with Camryn. And I sure wasn't the petite and thick type like Mel was and it seemed like I didn't have the raw passion that seemed to exude from her short relationship with her savior. I was just me, some where in the middle, completely average.
Pulling into my parking spot at the condo I shared with Micah, I tried to shake off the pity party funk I had seemed to dive into and tried to find my happy place. Hitting the locks on my car door, I headed for the door, nodding to Ralph, the building manager as I passed.
He gave me a look that kind of reminded me of pity but I decided to shake it off as I walked through the already open elevator doors and pressed the number for my floor.
As the car started moving upward I absent-mindedly picked at the leftover-crusted flour and chocolate that stained my jeans, while trying to work up the courage to talk to Micah tonight about how I was feeling.
I give everyone this confident face to protect my inner self, the Trinity that no one ever sees except for Melodi, and even then I keep myself guarded to a certain extent. I guess when you've been hurt as many times as I have you always want to protect yourself, even from the people who supposedly love you.
Reaching my floor, I started digging around in my purse for my keys, the sounds of R&B music filtering out through the closed door. 'Micah must be setting the mood tonight for a date night in.' I thought to myself, a small smile taking over my face as I slid my key into the knob.
