A second chance

Your the past

Elanoras POV:
I walk in the small coffee shop,looking for a specific man,Epifiano Smith.The beige walls elegantly designed with cute patterns,I watch amazed on how beautiful and simple it is.The rich smell of coffee burning my nostrils in a good way,
it smelled like heaven in here.

I look around till I spot his hazel eyes on me,I walk over to his table which is at the corner of the shop,where there's not a lot of people surrounding us.

I pull my chair out to sit down,I watch curiously as his gaze follows my every movement.

I stare at his hazel eyes questionably,my eyebrows raised.He looked the same,except he looked a bit bulkier and older.

"Hi"I say softly watching his face soften up and turn into a small grin.

"How are you my tigresa"(tigress),
he says making me cringe inwardly,I used to love that nickname,it brought tingles to my stomach but now its just a nickname,there's only one nickname that makes my stomach tingle.

"I'm good"i whisper hating the nickname now,
if he told me this nickname like years ago,I would've been on my knees begging for him,but Maurizio seemed to change any man for me.Gosh that man put unacceptably high standards for me,I bet there will be no one out there for me who will make me feel like Maurizio did,he had me on some kind of magic poison.

"You"I ask politely

"I've been okay"

"Good,that's good"I say looking at his eyes that seemed to darken.

"What is it you want Epifiano"I ask trying to get to the point,so I can leave.I want to go back to Mauro.

"A chance"he says genuinely making me smile softly,hmmm a little to late for that don't you think.Ughh men.They think women are objects to play around with.

"I'm sorry,Epifiano but you and me will never happen again,I gave you a second chance and you sabotaged it,I don't give third chances,plus I don't know if you know but I'm still head over heels for one man only and that's Maurizio"I say sternly watching him get a little angry.His eyes darkening if possible,turning a brown color.

"And I suggest you don't look for me again,
I forgave you a long time ago Epifiano.Forgive yourself so you can truly love someone,don't let your insecurities make you lonely in the future,find someone new,I'm not the same girl I was years ago"I say getting up to leave,I watch as he pulls me back by grabbing my wrist gently.

"Yes"I ask questionably,trying to wiggle my hand out of his grasp.

"I'm sorry,I just love you so much,but I guess I need to move on because you seem to have really fallen in love with Maurizio,and I won't ever forget you Elanora,letting you go will be my biggest regret,I'm sorry I ruined us"he says watching me lovingly and regrettably.

I grab his palm gently"I won't be your biggest regret,when the times comes you'll see that I'll be your biggest realization"I say letting his hand go.

I'm not sure if he'll ever find love again but if he does he'll thank me for leaving him.Hed thank me because he had just found love,I wish him nothing but the best.

I walk out of the cafe,heading to my car as Marcus drives us back home.

Enjoy 😊
I know short chapter,but enjoy.
