💙Chapter 30💙

Do a good deed and throw it into the sea.
~African proverb.

My anxiety felt like a size of a planet.

I kept breathing heavily, as I felt extremely worried about everything. That meetup would determine if I would ever be friends with Xavier again. I really needed to resolve everything with him.

I walked into the coffee shop and spotted all three of them seated. I guess I was late.

"Sorry for being late," I said glancing at all three of them.

"It's okay, could you please take a seat?" Tristan suggested, pushing a chair so that I could sit next to him. It was positioned in such a way that  I could be facing Xavier.

Xavier had been staring at the floor in silence until he suddenly looked at me with slightly watery eyes." Luna, I am sorry."

Seeing him like that made me feel like I needed to get out of my seat and hug him. He was apologizing even though I was wrong too.

"I am sorry Xavier. I should not have done what I did. I---"

"I am sorry to interrupt you both but before you guys can say anything, I need to say something," Tristan said running his hands through his hair.

"I am sorry, this goes to all of you; especially to you Luna. I am sorry for coming into the picture and ruining everything. I never thought it would cause that much trouble for you." He said staring at the floor.

"Kassy, I am sorry for being a bad boyfriend. I am sorry that we had to end things this way but I hope we can be friends." He paused and glanced at Xavier.

"Xavier I am sorry. Luna is such a lovely girl and I know she didn't mean to hurt you. I am the one you should be angry at."

"I think I need to say something too." Kassy suddenly uttered.

"Tristan, you shouldn't apologize to me, I was wrong too.  I have never been the best girlfriend to you. No wonder you needed to get away from me. "

"Luna, I am sorry," Kassy said causing my mouth to fall open." I have been rude to you from day one even though I know you do not deserve that treatment. I am sorry for kissing your boyfriend and for everything. I hope we can be friends someday."

Her eyes were slightly tearing up and I could not believe that she was asking for my forgiveness. There was no way she was being genuine.

"I know you don't believe me but, being away from Tristan made me examine reasons why he wanted to get away from me. I am a horrible person and I need to make a change that's why I am starting by saying sorry to you." She said when she noticed my silence.

"Kassy, I accept your apology and I am sorry too. I hope you can forgive me for kissing your boyfriend." I chuckled.

She giggled slightly." Yes, I forgive you, after all, I did the same thing too. So we were both wrong here."

" I promise to stay out of the picture. I do not want to ruin anything between you too." Tristan uttered suddenly.

"Me too. You and Xavier were such a cute couple." Kassy added making me furrow my brows. Forgive me, but it sounded so strange for her to say that. I was not used to Kassy being kind.

"Kassy, can we talk away from both of them so that they could get their space?" Tristan said and I mentally agreed with his idea.

"Okay, bye y'all." She said getting out of her seat and then proceeded to get out of the coffee shop with Tristan.

I glanced at Xavier and a flush appeared on his face.

"I am sorry." We both said in unison causing us to smile.

There was an awkward silence that followed so I had to break it.

"I like you, Xavier and I mean like like. I have always been afraid to tell you but now that I lost you for these few days, I came to realize how much I need you. You're one of the best things that has happened to me ever since I came to Germany." A smile spread across his face and his cheeks flushed red.

"Luna, that's so sweet of you. You know how I feel about you already. It's just when you kissed Tristan I got jealous and hurt that I wanted to seek revenge. I feel terrible for doing that to you. I went too far and it hurts me to even remember that I allowed my emotions to get the best of me."

" It's okay, I am not angry with you at all. Let's just pretend like none of this ever happened. Let's start over. What do you think?" I said rubbing my left arm nervously.

"I agree, we were both wrong and that is all in the past now. I want you to be mine, Luna." He said, making my belly produce a swarm of butterflies.

"Let me rephrase that. I want you to be my real girlfriend now." He chuckled.

"Yes, I will be your girlfriend." I got up from my seat and hugged him.

I have no idea why I felt so happy but I liked the idea of him being my real boyfriend.

I stared at him and began to draw closer to him. He bent down until his lips were against mine, brushing them so lightly, and yet that light touch was enough to send warmth to my stomach.

I never thought I would ever be in a coffee shop kissing a guy. Neither did I ever think I would ever be in Germany but yet there I was. Comfortable as ever.

                        THE END

*****

Okay, so we made it to the end!

*Tries to dance but soon realizes how bad it looks. But keeps dancing anyway.

The meetup went better than I expected. Kassy apologized. How weird.

I can't believe this book has ended.
