consider her a part of my history.

“Dad, that was years ago. I’m not worried about Chloe anymore.”

I roll my eyes and snort angrily. I’m annoyed at him for turning a nice conversation in to this, even if he does always have my best interest at heart. I just don’t need it; I don’t need to be brought down when I am so happy. I don’t need to think about the fact that I don’t have a girlfriend or a family or anything like that. Dad should realize I don’t need that conversation

“But she affected you, didn’t she? You had such a heart break when you’re so young that it turned you in to a playboy. It made you the sort of person that you never wanted to be. Someone who spends time with a lot of girls, but never serious time.”

Chloe was my only proper girlfriend, not that I like to think of her or count her as that anymore. I don’t even want to think about that time in my life because it was just a blip. Fourteen months which turned everything upside down.

She’s the only person who I ever really felt for and after eight months of us being together, I proposed to her. I really thought that proposal was going to lead to a long-term marriage as well. I wouldn’t have asked her to marry me if I didn’t want to marry her too. I really did see us together forever at the time. Even if that was only me being naive looking back.

But it seems that I was the only one who was fully in it. She had my college best friend on the go at the same time. She was playing both of us off against one another and causing far too much drama for my liking. I think she relished the drama more than the idea of having two men on the go at the same time. She loved how much we fell out over her and how the whole college was aware of what has been going on. It really put her on the map, and she loved it. I guess Chloe is the sort of person who doesn’t care who she tramples on with to get what she wants in life

Yes, I was heartbroken when I found them in bed together, and sure, I haven’t been with anyone seriously ever since, but I don’t think I’m damaged by the whole situation. It certainly hasn’t put me off romance. I just haven’t found anyone that’s all. I’ve been having my fun whilst searching for the right person for me. Someone who is lovely and caring, someone very unlike Chloe who never would have been good for me. Looking back now, I know for sure that our relationship wouldn’t have worked even if we had ended up getting married, even if she hadn’t cheated, we just weren’t compatible.

I could tell my father about Aisha and what I have going on with her, just to shut him up right now. But I don’t because there isn’t really anything to tell. That’s more of a fantasy inside my mind than anything real and telling my dad would probably only worry him more. There is no need for that.

“Dad, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me. I have a full life here,” I try to reassure him. “You don’t need to be worried about me at all.”

“Sure, well obviously I’m going to be worried about you no matter what you say. That’s my job as your father. But it’s good to talk to you anyway.”

“Yeah, it’s good to talk to you as well. Thanks for calling, Dad. Hopefully, I will speak to you before then, but I will definitely call you on Christmas Day.”

“Great, sounds good. I will talk to you then. But know that you can call me any time Marc, I’m always thinking of you.”

I know he is as well, just because he’s that nice a person. He was so unsure about leaving, but I told him he had to go to find his happiness. It seems like he has done that... I guess he just wants the same for me too. I am happy though, even if I don’t exactly have everything.

“Me too, speak soon, Dad. I love you.”

He sighs wearily and I can tell that I haven’t done anything to diminish his worries at all but without him coming back here to actually see me there’s no way he will be
