Never Again

Stalking the ex

" Emily ! " Someone called out to her . f**k ! He knew her name . Who the hell was he ? The person that was standing behind her knelled to the floor .

Emily was freaking out , she held the fork tightly . She gathered all the strength of her body and turned around to attack but the man held her hand .

" Matt ! What the hell ? "

" I should say this Emily . What the hell ? You just tried to attack me . Are you out of my mind ? "

" I could have died . "

" How could have you died ? You were the one who attacked me , and that too with a . . . . . fork . Are you serious ? "

" From a heart attack . "

Emily tried to get up but she slipped again and fell down . Matt gave her a hand to help her .

She asked him suspiciously " What are you doing here ? And how the hell did you get in ? "

" You left your front door open . You are so careless Emily . You should thank God that it was me otherwise it could have been a thief and maybe with a gun . You could not have defended yourself with a fork . "

" I thought that someone broke into my house . "

" In that case you should have called the cops . "

" Oh ! And do you think that I lack something which is called ' the brain ' . My phone was in my room . I was goi g to call for help from the telephone but I fell . "

She looks around " Oh God ! Look at the mess that I have made . "

" Do you need a hand ? "

" I guess I could need some help . "

Matt helped Emily to clean the mess . He picked up everything and Emily wiped the floor . Emily thought why was he even there . She tried to ask him ones or twice but something or the other happened . Like when Matt accidently threw the bucket of water on the floor , thereby increasing their work . But still he helped her a lot or at least we could say that he tried his best to help her .

It took them almost an hour to clean everything . They both got tired . Emily offered to make some coffee . Matt was sitting on the dining table eating cookies " These cookies are delicious . Did you bake them ? "

Emily nodded her head in yes while beating coffee . She asked him " What are you doing here Matt ? "

Matt came and stood by her . He took the coffee from her and kept it on the side . Emily was wondering what was happening here . He held her hand and held them close to his chest .

" What are you doing Matt ? "

" I am Sorry Emily . I am very sorry about everything . I mistreated you but you didn't deserved any of it . You were right I thought that I would use you as a rebound . You were right I want to move on from Jessica but I am not able too . Our relationship , our memories are holding me back . I wanted her back and frankly speaking I still want her back but I have realized that I don't mean even a percent to her like she does to me . I was very angry because I thought that she was using me but then I realized that I am doing the same to you . You don't have any part in all this then why should you suffer . "

" And how did you realized all of this . "

He left her hands " I . . . . . I . . . . did something that I am not proud of . But you should think this way that because of what happened I have realized my mistake . It is good right ? " He was trying to avoid eye contact with Emily .

" What happened ? " She turned his face towards her .

" I . . . . . I . . . slept with her . "

She turned back " What ? . . . . When ? " She said walking away from him .

He held her hand but she pulled it back " No Emily please don't go . Look at me . I will tell you everything . "

" I don't want to look at you . . . . . . Just tell me what happened . When did you sleep with her ? "

He said in a low voice " Few hours ago . When I drove away with her from the boutique . "

" So are you back with her . " She said hiding back her tears .
