XXVII Making amends XXVII

Ava's pov

Today is the day, the day that Alphonse and Seth will sit down in the same room and have a conversation. By the time I got up, Seth and Robin were nowhere to be seen but Emily and the others were here to cover the morning shift. They said that Seth wanted to take care of something and Robin went with him. At first I didn't know what to make of this but when I thought back to the moments that happened last night, I think that there might be a slight thing that was going on, they just don't know it yet. At least I think they don't know but that's something that I will ponder about another time; for now, I've got to get to Al's place and make a start on breakfast and the cinnamon rolls.

"Oh man, these cinnamon rolls smell good, with the coffee too and then is my favourite snack of all," Alphonse said as he watched me opening the oven and pulling out a freshly made cinnamon roll.

"The toast?"

"No no, not the toast, you. Though some buttered perfectly toasted homemade bread, that is hard to beat."

"Are you comparing me with toast?"

"Hey hey hey you still beat it, I’m just saying, toast. Trust me, my appetite is far from spoilt. After last night; hell I’m ready to stress he every single one of these roles."

The moment he said that I couldn't help but to suddenly get nervous. I know that I already talked to Seth, I even invited him to sleep at the shop, I have nothing to be scared of. I'm doing this for a reason and it's already too late to back out.

"Yeah sorry, I shouldn’t bring all that up. This is our time and my extracurricular gotten nothing to do with our little breakfast date. Right?"

"Something like that," I said as I began to pipe the icing on the bun.

"Hold on, what's that face you're making? Normally you’d make like a lewd face when you drizzle the ooey-gooey sauce all over the rolls, but this face is like you just ate a sour patch kid. Did you get into my stash?!" He said as he made a beeline to his package of sour sweets to see if there was a shortage but of course, there wasn't any missing.

"No no, still there."

Despite the slight nerves that are somewhat building up, I still couldn't smile at his behaviour. Though it doesn't help that he just stares at me as I set the breakfast on the table, he's clearly trying to figure out what's going on in my head.

"You weren’t upset with me needing space last night, were you? I just needed some room to breathe, you don’t have anything to worry about. I knew that one day we’d have to have that talk; as much as I wanted to run away and pretend, my whole life got a fresh new start when I came home and then all over again when I met you. That's not really how life works."

"I understand Alphonse. By the way, do you have Betty with you?"

"Betty? Yeah, she's with me. Why? Do you want to see it? It's just a knife."

"If it's alright. I wanted to see her, just to get a better look," I said to him with an honest tone. I can that Al was sceptical about showing me the knife, but he still pulled her out nonetheless.

"There. So what, are you bout to tell me that you knife play or is there another reason you acting funny."

"Even If I do you wouldn't find it weird would you?"

"No, you know I’m not one to judge. Look, I don’t know what your love life has been like before me, I don’t know what love really means to you but I loved Seth. I love him with my whole heart and we went through some shit, we went through things me and you will never experience, the good and the bad. As much as I want to hate him and hate what happened and hate all of it before it all went to shit, he was an influential and important part of my life and you might not want to hear it but if things hadn't been a mess things could have been different. I probably would still be with him and if you think that's a hard pill to swallow? Then yeah, it is a really hard pill to swallow, but that's not how things played out and I’ve accepted that but the heart doesn’t just forget, at least not mine. if you’re scared that I don’t know, that like lingering feelings are going to screw up what we got, trust me. I know we haven’t really been in any situations where you had to trust me. Shit, things have been downright peaceful but if you're willing to trust me you won't regret it. I let Seth come and steal me away once and it was terrible. This time is nothing like that."

As those words left his mouth I was actually both shocked and happy to hear Alphonse saying that. No matter how much he denies it, he still cares about Seth but just wouldn't say it. And then there came a knocking on the door which took Al by surprise.

"You, expecting someone?"

"Yeah actually, I do," I said as I walked up to the door.

"Oh babe, you didn't." His answers have been confirmed as I opened the door, only to reveal Robin and Seth. I can already tell that this is going to have a rough start.
