Three Years Too Late for Sorry，Just in Time for My Freedom novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

That day. Nicholas came home to grab some stuff. And I honestly couldn’t remember the last time we’d actually talked to each other.

He didn’t even give me a heads up that he was coming by.

only ran into him because I went downstairs to get some water.

When he spotted me, he looked a little scared. He kept opening his mouth like he wanted to say something, then closing it again.

Finally, he managed to get some words out, all careful and hesitant. “Itey, so tomorrow’s Saturday. Me and some buddies are going camping. You, uh, wanna tag Along?”

His whole body was practically vibrating with tension when he asked.

Did he actually want me there? Or was he hoping I’d say hell no?

[couldn’t stop myself from laughing, which made Nicholas look even more panicked.

Suddenly I felt like screwing with him a little.

Sounds fun! God, it’s been years since I went camping!”

He just stood there frozen.

Nicholas knew damn well I’d never clicked with his crew.

So that whole invitation thing? Politeness bullshit.

He got down on his knees and started yanking all his clothes back out of the bag.

Wouldn’t even look at me. Obviously pissed off.

‘Actually, I just remembered I’ve got some crap to deal with at the office. Gonna bail on the whole thing. You should just stay home.”

“Okay.” That was all I said before heading back downstairs.

Got myself a giant glass of water and felt pretty damn good about myself.

A few minutes later, I heard his car start up.

Nicholas was so worried about me following him that he’d tiptoed out with his bag.

Before, he probably didn’t want me embarrassing him in front of his friends.

Now, he probably didn’t want me screwing up whatever he had going on the side.

I watched his taillights disappear down the street.

So Nicholas, when are you gonna ask me for a divorce?

Because I’m ready for it.
