The Message

Kris           - 8:53AM

Sophia,

I am so, so sorry for leaving you like that last night. It was never my intention to hurt you or be so rude towards you.

And not only that, Alayna, Lia and the guys made it very clear to me that I behaved like an absolute asshole towards everyone. I seriously messed up.

I did mean everything I said to you last night. I want to go on a date with you, I want to spend these two days with you, I want to kiss you again.

I know we've only known each other for a short time, but you're already so important to me and I don't want to lose you like this.

I don't want to make up any excuses for myself, but I would like to explain what's going on. If you let me. I completely understand if you never want to see me again though.

I swear there's a reasonable explanation, so I really hope you'll give me another chance.

Love, Kris.

God, that was a heartfelt message. The "Love, Kris" at the end makes me tear up again. Of course, I am way too curious to decline his offer. So I send a short message back, just to let him know we're not completely good yet.

Me: thanks for messaging me, I'm willing to hear your explanation. Just tell me when and where and I'll be there.

He responds immediately, as if he has been waiting in the chat since he sent the message. 

Kris: can you meet me outside the hotel? Then we can go wherever you like.

Me: are you bringing the guys?

Kris: we can meet them later, but I'd like to talk to you alone first.

Me: okay. I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Sending him these passive-aggressive messages feels just horrible. But he has completely violated my trust, so he deserves it for now. The only thing I can hope, is that this "Nina" is not his girlfriend. Because I would feel awful.

"I'm meeting him outside the hotel in 10," I say.

"Wow, that was quick! What did he send you?" I hand Alayna my phone, she and Lia read it in silence while I put on my sneakers.

"Will you be okay going there alone?" Alayna asks.

"Sure, I'll tell you when we're done talking and then you guys can come later. If you still want to,"

"That will really depend on what Kris tells you, to be honest," Lia admits.

"No, but, I don't want this to stand between your relationship with the other guys," I frown.

Alayna looks at the floor, obviously thinking about Jan. We were all getting along so well. I don't want to disappoint the girls.

"We'll be fine. Just go talk to Kris and keep us updated," Lia assures me. I nod, and walk down the stairs and out the door. Here we go.

Their hotel is not far from my house, Bojan of course told me the name of the hotel the first time I met him at the Tower Bridge, to show me where they were going.
