-Astons Pov-
"I, hm, I came to say, well i" I stood there stuttering while Talia just stared at me. I expected her to slam the door in my face or to hit me, but as always she remain composed.
"Aston?" She asked me.
"yh?" i replied as if I was a naughty school boy getting in trouble
"would you like to come inside?" She offered
"Are you sure?" i confirmed
"I wouldn't ask otherwise, come on in" She said.
I followed her inside, it was a nice place, cosy & warm, Talia had put her touch everywhere, I would be able to know she lived here without even seeing her inside. She led me into a medium sized living room. Cream walls, white sofa, flatscreen on the wall, colour scheme throughout, candles burning away giving off a cinnamon smell, it was lovely!
"Do you want a drink?" She broke the silence
"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked.
"I don't really know what I'm doing, I guess" She said
"What do you mean?" I questioned

-normal pov-
seeing him standing at my door was overwhelming. I didn't actually think he would do it. I mean why would he do this? I guess this could be my one and only chance to get some answer out of him, before he runs away again. Surely him being here means something? I asked myself a million similar questions, until I realised was stumbling all his words due to nerves so I had to let him in. It was weird thinking we hadn't seen each other for years ! I wonder how he found my address? Marvin? I let him take in the appearance of my living room which was weird. But after a few minutes, i offered him a drink.
His response was weird. A question. Why was I being so nice to him? I didn't know how to answer so I told him exactly that. truth is, I didn't know why I was being so nice to him. He certainly didn't deserve it, but it was all them years ago, and im too tired to hold grudges for that long, I guess I just moved on from hating him.
He question me further.
"What do you mean?" He asked
"I guess, I don't hate you anymore, it would be unhealthy to hate someone for that long" I replied
"you hated me?" his voice buckled
"I mean, for a while yeah, that's why you left me isnt it? Because we just couldn't get on. I don't want to bring up the past, but you cheated on me, how was I supposed to react?" i said
"Yeah, I guess your right. Listen I didn't come here to bring up the past, I came here because I thought I overheard your friends, they said you haven't slept with anyone after me, or even been in a relationship after me, why?" Aston asked.
"I guess I havent thought about it, I don't really have time, flying from country to country all the time. I don't want to slept with the first guy who wants it, im not like that. im always turning down opportunities because I don't want to rush" I spoke.
"Rush? it's been three years" Aston said
"yh well, time does go quickly, besides I slept with someone the night before I came here" I sort of boasted
Aston burst out laughing. my cheeks instantly flushed red.
"What?" I asked
"Who did you sleep with?" he asked confidently, as if he knew
"I-i don't know, I was too drunk, I don't normally do it, im not a slut" i defended myself
"I know your not, if anything you might aswell be a nun, you slept with me" Aston said laughing
"it wasn't you" I stated
"It was, that's why I came here" Aston become serious.

Holy shit, I didn't, I couldn't have..
