Just Friends: The Sequel.

Chapter Fifteen.

Chapter Fifteen.

REINA:

            Entering into the restaurant, I slimmed out my black dress and started my search for Jonah. He offered to pick me up but I just told him that I'd meet him here. Did I really want to spend my Saturday night doing this? Not really. I just wanted him to say what he had to say so I could leave.

            His hair caught my eye in the back corner. He wanted to go to Valentino's, the place he had taken me for our first date, but I told him Buffalo Wild Wings seemed like a better option. Less romance, a little more sports. It seemed like a good place for this talk we were about to have.

            "Reina." He smiled, rising from the booth. I think he expected me to hug him but I didn't. I just sent him a small smile back and slid in beside him.

            "Thirty minutes." I reminded him. "That's all."

JUSTIN:

            "I just don't understand why we can't watch the game at home like normal people." I spat from the couch, already in my sweats. "I don't want to go out."

            "Dude do you know how many people go to watch the game at restaurants? Tons of people. Scott thought it'd be a cool idea and let's face it, we get to watch the game on the big screen man. Not this crappy piece of shit."

            Colby tapped the small TV that we had and I had to admit, he made a good point. Seeing the game on a bigger screen would probably make it more enjoyable.

            "But that means I have to get changed." I groaned. "Ugh, fuck. Hold on. Let me just get some jeans."

REINA:

            "So explain yourself." I said once our drinks had arrived. "What did you want to tell me?"

            I felt like I'd throw up from being in a two-foot radius of him. The way he's looking at me reminded me of how he used to and I'm not ready for it yet. This was all too much.

            "Look, Reina." He started, setting his drink back down. "When I cheated on you I was an idiot, okay? I had just started college and my friends were telling me that two timing would make it cool. That doesn't make up for what I did but I feel horrible about it. I honestly do."

            "Well that's great that you think that now Jonah but it doesn't change anything."

            "Reina I'm a different person. These past couple of months I've started going to church again, I've found God in my life. I've cleaned up. I don't party anymore and I especially don't two time. The only girl that I've been thinking about for these past couple of months is you. You've gotta believe that."

            I could tell he was being serious. He was meaning every word he was saying but does that change anything? No. The only man who will ever have my heart doesn't exactly want me at the moment and that killed me.
