Chapter 40: Nerves
Rory
I felt beyond pleased with myself as I headed home from the cafe. For the first time in ages, it felt like I have done something for someone instead of it always being done to me over and over again.
I spent about three hours in the cafe with Raya before we finally parted ways. She told me she was gonna start packing her things before he returns from his trip tomorrow, and that she’d present him with divorce papers once he arrives. She also took her time to thank me for doing this, explaining that this just means I was indeed a good person because whereas I could decide to start fucking her man after she threw me out, I still did the right thing at the end of the day.
I admitted to her that I was beyond hurt by how she instantly believed I could do that, along with the fact that she said I was just like other omegas. She apologized profusely for that and I assured her that it was alright.
I genuinely felt pity for her in all of this, because when trying to look at it from another perspective, then I could understand why she’d believe the man she loved and have a child with, over someone she has only known for a few months.
I wished her all the best and even handed her the $5k Trevor sent to me last night. She tried getting me to take it and use it for anything I wanted but I insisted on her taking it before she ended up accepting it.
Before we parted ways, she asked me if I’d be open to living with her again, and I politely declined. She helped me tremendously when I had no one else to offer me help, and for that I’d be forever grateful, but the trust I had in her was completely gone after she threw me out that way. Throwing me out of her house that day hadn’t even been the real issue, the real issue was her not even bothering to listen to my own narrative before coming up with a conclusion.
She tried promising me that something like this wasn’t gonna happen ever again and that we could be besties again and start living together when she moves out from her husband’s house, and once again, I declined the offer and urged her to not be worried about me because I was managing fine on my own. I also made sure to remind her that I wasn’t angry with her and that we could definitely still hang out, and that I’d also be there whenever she needed someone to talk to.
That night, I slept peacefully.
