5 months later

"It's finally happening, the last hearing is next week" I grinned over the phone.
"I know, I'm happy that it's almost over" Colson agreed, sitting at the edge of my desk.
James had decided to drag the divorce process on for a couple months- I'm guessing he was trying to come up with a reason for me to pay alimony- never happened though.
"You know, I miss having you around everyday" Colson said just above a whisper. I smiled and grabbed his hand.
I moved out the house about 3 months ago. I just wanted my own space- not that I didn't wanna be around Pete and Colson, I just needed a place of my own.
"You see me everyday at work" I reminded him
"....speaking of work" He said while rubbing the back of his neck nervously. My heart began to beat a little faster, as I was scared of what he might say.
"Are you quitting?" I asked
"Well..."
I let out a low gasp that was soon replaced by a small sigh. I knew Colson wouldn't wanna work for me for the rest of his life- it's just that it would suck not seeing my best friend everyday.
"Okay well, where are you gonna work?" I asked
"I'm actually starting a business myself." He informed me. I clapped my hands and got up to hug him. Our hug lasted about two or so minutes, I loved the way he hugged me.
"So, this is your two week notice?" I asked with a sad but proud grin.
"Yes it is. And can I say, Ms. Heart, that it was an honor working for you" My best friend said while dramatically kissing my hand.
I rolled my eyes and playfully pushed him.
"Well I'm very happy for you bestie. I just hope we don't drift apart, since we won't be seeing each other that much anymore"
"Please, I'll be over your house every weekend to see you."
"Or I may come over to yours, to see you and Pete"
He nodded, probably noticing my facial expression when I said Pete's name. I missed him so much- I mean, I just talked to him the other day but work has been so hectic for us lately.
"I gotta come see him" I said
"Just call him"
"We try, but work has been so busy. I mean, with the opening of my second location this weekend and all the press and stuff I gotta do- we just don't have the time"
"Well, he's off this weekend. Why don't you invite him to come with you to the opening?" Colson suggested
I smirked, immediately agreeing.
"That's a great idea, I mean- of course I would want you there too"
"Oh, I was coming anyways. No need for an invitation" He laughed
I looked at my watch and seen it was about two hours past when it was time to leave.
"Colson, you could have went home two hours ago" I pointed out
"Zi, one thing I'm not gonna do is leave you alone, not after what James did that one time"
"That was a while ago Col"
"Still doesn't mean I'm leaving you by yourself- not until these two weeks are up" He joked. We got up, gathered our stuff, and left the building. We hugged tightly before parting ways.
The entire ride home was just me thinking about everything that went down only a couple of months ago.
James coming home late, which lead me to stay with Colson- which got me involved with Pete.
I really do miss him.
Once I arrived home, I sat in the car for a second. I pulled my phone out and began to text Pete, asking if he'd want to come to the opening.
Within a couple of seconds, he said yes.
Satisfied, I walked in the house with a smile.
