Just a Heartbeat Away

Chapter 3: Im sorry...

<><><><><><><><><><>
Previously:
Mari gets to be part of Smosh Games and it's her 22nd birthday! Kalel had arranged a surprise B-Day at the bowling ally where she tied with David for 1st. We continue where our group see Peter, Maris ex!

Mari:

"Congrats on getting a tie with that loser." Peter smirked.

"First of all he's not a loser, you are. He's better than you'll ever be. Why are you here?" I said getting a little angry.

"I'm here to say I'm sorry for what I did to you back when we were together in New York and in college."

I was shocked. Peter isn't the type who says 'I'm Sorry.' He usually is selfish, conceited, mean, and not caring. Of course, that was after 'it' happened. He used to be wonderful, caring, loving, nice, and everything I would want in a guy.

"Huh? You're saying sorry?" I asked a little confused.

"Yea. Umm, Mari," he started, "I now know what I did to hurt you. I was dumb and it was my fault, not yours. I'm so sorry. Can you at least forgive me?

David:
Who is this guy? What did he do to Mari? They...dated?

"Wow, Peter I never saw this side of you..." Mari said surprised.

"I'm a changed man." He laughed a little. "Can we start a new leaf and forgot what happened 2 years ago?" Peter said.

"Peter, that sounds like a...like a... great idea. Yeah, I would love that."

"Thank you." After that he walked away because his friend was calling him.

All of us looked at Mari with confusion. We all wanted to hear what Peter had done.

"What happened between you and him?" asked Josh.

"It's too personal." Says Kalel. "But what we should be focusing on is why Mari would still want to be his friend!"

"Yea Mari why would you do that? I know I wouldn't." Ian commented.

Everyone else agreed with him.

"Guys, he has changed can't you see it?" Mari assured us.

We all sat there in silence. People began to leave. It was late.

"I should get going guys. See you tomorrow Mari!" Anthony said. Matt, Josh, and Ian left as well.

"Mari I want the best for you and I know being friends with that bitch isn't going to be the best for you. He may do it again." Kalel said caring.

"Kalel, thank you for caring so much, and I love you for that, but I want to give it a shot."

Kalel nods her head and leaves. I follow her.

"DAVID"

I heard my name. It was Mari.

"Yea, what's up?" I asked

"I just want to say that you are the best guy out of the group I will be working with."

I began to blush a little.

"You are super cool and a very very good friend. Loving, caring, thoughtful...UGH I COULD JUST KISS YOU!"

My heart skipped a beat when she said that. However we didn't, we just laughed.

"Wow Mari, I think the same way about you."

We hugged and we could feel each other's heartbeat. I didn't want the hug to end but she let go.

Mari asked, " Wanna come to my house for cake? Chocolate flavor!"

I nodded without hesitation and she grabbed my hand. We went to our own cars to her apartment.

Mari:
*In her car*
When I said all that stuff about David, I couldn't focus with his eyes on mine, o those beautiful eyes. And when we hugged, why did I let go? I loved it more than I thought! My heart skipped several beats when we did.

Maybe I like-like David...he is really handsome, charming, funny, and cares about me. Man...I should have kissed him when I had the chance.

And now he's coming to my house for a slice of my cake...
