Janae's POV:

I pulled up to Lucy's a nice restaurant in Brooklyn and when I saw Cayla my mouth dropped and started to water.

She was looking so beautiful, I was shocked she wasn't looking as bad and tired as I was. I missed her a lot and I felt bad not talking to her for so long.

I parked the car and rushed out. She waved at me and had a soft smile on her face.

"Hey Cay." I said walking up to her then I gave her a hug.

"Hey. You look nice today. I like your purse." She said while hugging me back. I took in her scent and squeezed her really tight. She felt like home and hugging her like this brought back so much memories.

"Thanks. Ready to go inside?"

"Yeah."

We started walking inside the restaurant and I couldn't stop staring at her. It was like all the feelings came back once I was right next to her. I hated that I was starting to fall for Cayla again because I have Octavia. I'm scared to tell the poor girl that I cheated on her with my ex. She would go crazy and start acting out again.

"So how have you been?" Cayla asked as we took a seat at the table. I licked my lips and looked into her eyes. "I'm doing good. How have you been? How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"I'm doing better. Just taking care of Gabi and living life." She smiled her beautiful smile.

"Thank you for coming out with me tonight." 

"You're welcome... What did you want to say to me?" She asked looking through the menu.

I scratched the back of my neck and stared at the menu. "Ummmm... I just wanted to apologize for the way things were that night. I really didn't mean to run like that. I was just scared that I would of gotten arrested if your mom saw me there." She sighed and looked at me. "You still could of come to see if I was okay. She wouldn't have pressed charges..."

I gasped and my eyes popped wide open. "She pressed charges?!" I asked scared of the answer. "No...she was thinking about it but I told her that we're even now." 

The waitress came over and looked at Cayla and smiling at her. "Hello my name is Vivian  and I would be your waitress for the afternoon. Can I start you ladies off with something to drink?" She looked at me and I cleared my throat. "I'll have the strawberry lemonade." 

"And for you love?" She asked licking her lips at Cayla. I rolled my eyes and watched Cayla flirt with the waitress right in front of me. 

Vivian then took our orders and rushed away and stuck it to the stove area. "What was that about?" I asked Cayla.

"What was what about?" She asked smiling. "You and the waitress flirting..."

She laughed and flipped her hair over her back. I don't know why I was so jealous. I mean she is single and I do have Octavia so what's the problem. "Ummmm last time I checked I was a single woman. Janae is there something you're not telling me?" She asked. I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes again. "No." She laughed again and shook her head. 

We sat there catching up on the weeks we missed together and I was starting to rethink my relationship with Octavia. Maybe I didn't really love her and just said so because she helped me get through my break up. I don't feel the way I do with Cayla, when I'm with Tavia. Cayla makes me feel loved and comfortable . Octavia just makes me feel like I'm forced to be with her. 

I'm really starting to think that I really and truly belong with Cayla. 

The waitress came back with our drinks and food making sure to really bend down in front of Cayla. I looked up and saw Cayla staring right at her ass as she was walking away so I flicked her fork. "What?" She asked sounding annoyed. "Nothing...just thought you were on a lunch date with me and not that hoe's ass." I whined.
