Gloves off

For the best

Ryan POV

I looked at my phone realizing that it 1:30am and I have been sitting here in my car for the past hour and can't bring myself to get out and head into the house.
While I was sitting here I had the time to think and I decided that I can't stay here while her fiancé is here,
I'm really not in the mood to see her with him and acting like nothing is wrong.
I got out off the car making my way down to the beach to get some fresh air before going inside the house.

"Your home early."
A voice said startling me.

I looked to my right seeing Aluna sitting by the shoreline.
My eyes instantly glanced at the empty wine glass by her foot.

"Where is your fiancé?"
I asked walking towards her.

"Sleeping,"
She said bluntly.

"Well that's fuck up,"
"he haven't seen you in a month and the first thing he does is get drunk and fall asleep?"
I said looking at her laughing.

"He is not drunk."
She said rolling her eyes at me.

"Or is it because he is pissed to find out that you bought a car."
"Now he probably thinks that you like it here and you're not interested in returning back home."
I said making her look at me with a pissed look on her face.

"Well he is smarter than he looks."
I said taking off my shoes standing at the edge off the water.

"Go away I don't want to talk to you."
She said grabbing some sand trowing it on me.

"Why is that?"
I didn't intensionally meant to cause the problem with the car.

"I don't give a fuck about the car thing!"
She said rolling her eyes at me.

"Are you upset that I went on a date?"
"Are you jealous?"
I asked looking at her smiling.

"I'm not fucking jealous, but I have to ask, was the date planned before or after you found out Theo was here?"

"What difference does it makes, you are the one with a fiancé."
I said infuriating her.

"You know what you are a asshole,"
"I didn't know he was coming,"
"And I asked you to give me some time to think,"
"You told me how you felt about me but how am I supposed to believe those things you told me when the first thing you do was take a girl out to dinner when you got upset."
"Tell me what did you prove by doing that? "
She said looking at me breathing heavily, I really didn't know my actions would upset her so much.

"I didn't take the girl out Aluna!"
"I stood her up."
"Yes I admit I did message her but only because I didn't want to sit in this house and hear about your wedding."
"I can't fuck bear seeing you with him,"
"It drives me crazy knowing that you are not mine's."
I said keeling down in front off her.

"I know this is the worst fucking time to say this but
"I really care for you Aluna and I think I'm falling in love with you."
I said watching as her eyes widen and her lips parted.

"And I don't want you to say anything back to me, at least not right now, I want you to take your time and think about yourself."
"Think about what you want, what makes you happy,
"who makes you happy."
"So I think to make things easier for you
its best that I go back to my place until he leaves."

"No please don't."
She said shaking her head.

"It's for the best Aluna,"
I said getting up.

"I'll leave in the morning after my run,"
"I'll have someone come over everyday to pick up my meals."

"And what about training?"
"You train here."
She said following me.

"I'll start back training at the gym."
I said as we make our way up the stairs.

"But."

"No buts Aluna, it's for the best, I have a match coming up and I need to focus, I need to be mentally ready,"
"And that is not possible for me to be in a positive mood if stay here watching you two walk around like a happy couple."
I said while opening my door.

"Then let me leave, I will get an apartment nearby for Theo and I until he goes back to Paris,"
"I don't want you messing up your schedule because off me."
She said whispering while following me into my room.

"No,"
I said shaking my head.

"Why?"
She asked looking at me with her puppy eyes.

"Because I invited Bela"s mother to come spend some time with us,"
"we haven't spent time together as a family since we broke up,"
"she will be staying at my place."
I said randomly making that up because knowing Aluna she wouldn't give up.

"Oh, ok I understand."
She said stepping back looking at the ground.

"Good night."
She said walking out off the room closing the door behind her.
I instantly brought my hands to my face taking a deep breath,
my heart sank, I hated lying to her but it was for the best.
