Unforgotten love

Chapter 15 || make up

Erin's POV
I gathered my mind trying to figure out how to tell him  best and just decided to go straight for it.I looked at him. " look ... Jay ... first of all. I'm so sorry for how I just left. You didn't deserve it. We were partners for years and I didn't even say a proper  goodbye ... but I just couldn't. It would  have made everything harder than it already was. ", I admitted softly. He looked at me. " I have to be honest, it wasn't easy for me , to just let you go. I couldn't even reach out to you or hold you back. But I know you did it for a reason and I'm not mad at you at all. I'm just glad ... that I'm here rn having this convo with you. I couldn't just leave it in the past without not talking about it anymore. ", he answered.
I nodded in reply and smiled softly. I wouldn't have expected him to react that calm. I mean I just left him. Without saying anything. He didn't deserve it. He interrupted my thoughts by talking again. " I think it would be best if we both move on now and leave it in the past , knowing we talked about it. It happened. We can't change it. It's in the past and that's okay. "
" I don't get why you are still so nice towards me. I ... I just left. Hurt you. And even if you don't admit it I know it." , I said now looking down at my hands that are resting on the table. " Because I still care about you Erin. A lot. Even after all those months we didn't see each other. I couldn't stop thinking about you and still can't. That's why I came to find you. The thought that I may never would see you again .... It killed me Erin. Even if we were not together anymore you were still a big part of my life. A important part.", he admits , looking at me.

Erin's POV:
I nodded a little, trying to process what he just said, but then got interrupted by the waiter bringing our food. We started eating, left the deep talk behind and just started chatting about random stuff. It felt like before, when we used to work together. We started talking about how we would  tease each other and just enjoyed the evening together. I wouldn't have thought it to get that way , but to be honest I was more than glad. After we ate and payed our food we made our way outside. Since he came here by plane and didn't have a car ,I offered him a ride to his hotel.
Some more time passed and I pulled up in front of the hotel, turning off the engine. I could feel him staring at me. I hesitated but looked at him too. He was smiling and I could see the love in his eyes. I still could read him perfectly... that never changed. Then his face got more serious but in a loving way. I still stared into his eyes. I could feel my heart beating faster as he leaned closer to me...
