A Striking Unrealized Truth Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Bo jerked awake to loud knocking. It took him a moment to realize it wasn’t his door. He heard a loud voice. He cracked his door opened to see what was going on. Bo saw Justin at the door.

“OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!” He knocked the door again. “NORA. You can’t do this.”
Bo walked out of the door.

“Justin?” Justin’s face grew hard when he saw Bo. “Justin what is going on?”
“Like you don’t know.” Justin threw a punch at Bo before he knew what happened. Bo fell to the floor. “You slept with my girlfriend.”

Bo quickly stood up.

“I have never slept with Nora.”
“Like hell you haven’t. Your ex-wife told me, she told me just after I proposed.”
Bo jaw clenched.

“Justin she is lying, I NEVER had Nora in that way.”
“Then why did she tell me no when I proposed?”
Bo heart soared.

“She said no?”

“She said she couldn’t and ran out of the restaurant. I thought we were ready, then Sarah told me the truth.”
“I have never had sex with Nora.”
Justin’s hands were clenched in fists as he hit the wall.

“You are telling me you have no feelings for her?”
“I didn’t say that.”
Justin laughed and shook his head.

“So it’s true, you left Sarah because you love Nora.”
“Yes.”
“Does Nora know that?”
Bo nodded.

“I told her today.”
Justin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“You son of bitch. I love her too. You think you can just walk in and take her now that you are free?”
“No, nobody can take Nora. She can never belong to anyone.”
Justin laughed

“You are an asshole. I won’t give her up so easy, I will fight for her.”
“Justin I have no idea if she even wants me.”
Justin turned away from and walked over to the elevator.

Bo looked at her door after Justin was gone. He gently knocked.

“Red are you in there?”
He stood there for several minutes. She never answered. He sighed then walked back to his own room. He stayed up all night listening for her, he heard nothing. She never came home that night.
