28: Stood her up

"I'm sorry about that." Ezekiel said.
"Zeke, you should talk to your little girlfriend." she said.
But Ezekiel was offended, he knew that Ivy did that on purpose because she was upset.
"Ivanna, Geez, what is that girl doing there?" she asks her.
Ivanna and Ivy decided to go to the canteen by the lobby, it's almost time that's why they decided to leave.
"Let them, they love each other.'" she said.
"Ivanna, you're his wife and you have the right." she said.
Ivanna just groaned.
"You know what, we saw them kissing a while back." Ivy said.
Ivanna's eyes widened, she didn't see that coming.
"Oh well, maybe they still love each other." she said.
But Ivy noticed the bitterness at her voice.
"Wait, are you jealous?" Ivy asks her.
Making her more stunned.
"What? No!" she said.
She keeps on denying but Ivy was right. Ivanna couldn't just admit at inside her. Ezekiel called at Ivy and she told him that they were at the lobby.
"Let's go?" he asks Ivy.
"Wait, Ivanna, aren't you coming with us?" Ivy asks her.
Ivanna thought it was better for them to take chances, she wants her best friend to have a happy love life.
"No, I'm going to wait for Ash." she said.
Ezekiel didn't think that Ash might not call her but he chosed not to say. they left and she was left there alone, it was getting cold and she even left her coat at Ash's office.
"Ash, where are you taking me?" Rhea asks him.
Rhea was extremely flirting with him. Ash thinks that they might give each other a time to hang out and gave themselves another chance.
"Let's have a dinner." he said.
Rhea was so happy, They prepared and Ivanna's coat was even dropped at the floor that he didn't even notice it. Rhea holds his arm, they were at the lobby but Ivanna didn't see them. Ivanna was waiting for like an hour, she was staring at her phone but no sign of text and calls from her husband.
"He told me to wait for his call." she whispered.
She was sipping her coffee when she saw Mrs. Dorris.
"Mrs. Dorris!" she called.
Mrs. Dorris turns her back to see her, she was so curious.
"Madam, why are you still here?" she asks.
Ivanna was very curious.
"I'm waiting for Ash, Is he still there?" she asks.
Mrs. Dorris freaked and frowned. She told her that they already left an hour ago. Ivanna's face was downed, Mrs. Dorris was feeling sorry for her.
"Thank you." she said to her.
Mrs. Dorris left, Ivanna went outside. she was very cold, and it's hard for her to catch a cab.
"Damn it!" she whispers.
Ash and Rhea decided to eat in a restaurant, Ivy and Ezekiel freaked out to see them.
"Wait, so where is my best friend?" Ivy asked.
Ezekiel was also shocked. Ash and Rhea sitted to the front.
"Wait, I'm just going to talk to him." Ezekiel said.
"No, let them be happy." Ivy said, very mad.
Ivy was trying to reach contact to Ivanna. Ivanna was shivering while walking, she can't grab a cab. She was alerted when her phone was ringing, she smiled thinking it was Ash but she frowned that it's Ivy.
"Ivy." she said.
"Where are you? Ash and his ex were here having dinner." she said.
Ivanna smiled bitterly.
"I know." she lied.
Ivy was so worried about her. Ivanna told her that she had arrived to their house, but she lied. She doesn't want to ruin their date. Lucky for her, she gradually saw a cab. She was relived when she got inside.
"Ash, do you miss me?" Rhea asks him.
Ash was feeling unusual, he can't stop thinking why is he feeling like that.
"Ash?" Rhea asks again.
Rhea was bewildered to see him acting so weird.
"Sorry, what is it?" he asks.
Rhea sighed.
"Nothing." she said.
They were eating when Ash's eyes landed to Ezekiel and Ivy.
"Wait, Is that Ezekiel and Ivy?" he asks.
Rhea turned to see them, she was stunned.
"yeah, the heck he was dating that woman." she said.
Ash was being offended again.
"Rhea, you don't know her besides every thing has changed." he said.
Rhea was being hurt and hit by his words.
"I'm sorry." she said.
Ash told her to stop offending and judging people around them. Rhea  went mute, because before she was being like that he totally accepts and loves it as her flow but now it had changed. Ash was petrified when he thinks about his wife.
"Candice." he whispered.
He might be waiting for her.
"Oh my God." he said.
Rhea was shocked.
"Are you okay?" she asks.
"I forgot about her." he said.
Rhea already knew it was his wife, Ash stood up to call for her. Ivanna's face brightens up to see who was calling.
"Hello." she said.
"Sorry, Where are you?" Ash asks her.
Ivanna smiled, he might just thought of her. She also lied to him that she was at home.
"Okay, I thought you're still waiting for my call." he was relieved.
Ivanna ended the call without saying anything, she was very hurt at that moment. She spent hours to wait for him and wait for a cab. Rhea was rolling her eyes while he was on his phone with her.
"Ash, what are you doing?" she asks.
Ash turned to see her.
"Rhea, I called my wife." he said.
"Ash, what about me?" she asks.
Ash groaned, he doesn't know what to do.
"I'm sorry, It's just that I'm worried that she mgiht still be waiting for me there." he said.
Rhea scoffs and just eats her food.
"Can I come over to your house tomorrow?" she asks.
Ash thought it was a good idea, for her and his wife to get along.
"Sure." he said.
Rhea was very happy, that her plan was getting well and good.
