Another Heart

Date?

"He said the same thing? Girl he is right, focus on yourself some more" Olivia said, taking a sip of her wine.

We just got home from work, and Olivia really wanted to know the details about what happened. We are sitting on my couch right now, and I am telling her everything and what happened.

"I told him he was right... and then he asked me, if I still loved him and if I wanted to start over. He repeated his question because I didn't answer it" I said, running my finger over my wine glass.

"And?" Olivia asked, moving closer towards me.

"And, I said that I do love him and I will always care for him but we should take things slowly" I said, taking a sip from my wine. Olivia groaned and got up.

"What? Are you drunk already?" I asked, looking up at her.

"No but I wish," Olivia said, "Girl, you still love him? Sure, he can't control his feelings but you can't too! Go for it, and I'm sure Amara will understand" Olivia said, crossing her arms. "You are ruining this chance"

"I know, but-"

"No buts! Why did Noah leave Amara at the alter? What was the reason?" Olivia asked me. I look down and thought about it.

He left her at the alter because of me. Amara knew right away why he didn't want to marry her. He still loved me and I still loved him.

Amara called me over the next day, saying that she wanted to talk. Amara seemed like she got over it really quickly. Maybe she doesn't seem to mind? But, my problem is, if I do end up with Noah, I feel like a home wrecker and I feel like a bad person.

I don't listen to others advice, and I should. I should focus on myself. I love Noah, and nothing or no one can change that. I love him so damn much. I always did and I always will.

That's my final answer and choice. I love Noah and I am going back to him.

Even if I am dumb for this, I still love him. Like I said, no one can change that.

"He left her because of me.. he still loved me.. you are right! I should start focusing on myself and I made my final choice Olivia.." I said, rubbing my forehead in stress.

"What is it?" Olivia asked, sitting back down beside me.

"I'm going back to him.. I still love him and no one can change that. He was mine first, and he was always there for me when I needed him the most. He defended me when my parents spazzed out on me, he comforted me when I was sick or when I had my period, he treated me like a princess, and most of all, he treated me like I was a queen" I said, tears now streaming down my face. "What should I do? Should I call him? Call him over for some dinner?"

"Yes! Do that! That's my girl! I totally say fuck it!" Olivia said, raising her wine glass and I did as well. We banged our wine glasses together and we took a big sip.

"You should call him now" Olivia said, picking up my phone from the coffee table and handing it to me. My eyes widened and I checked on my wine.

"Are you crazy? I was thinking calling him later because I literally just talked to him two hours ago!" I said, scrolling through my contacts.

"So?" Olivia asked, shrugging.

I then remembered his words. 'I will wait for you, even if it takes seconds, minutes, hours, years'

It took hours to make realize that I love him and to make my choice. I tapped on his contact and I called him. Olivia placed her wine glass down and clasped her hands together excitedly.
