He watched from afar, happy to see her success although they didn't last.
He would forever be proud of her.
A smile tugged at his features before he grabbed the class of sparking champagne sauntering over to where she stood. Theirs eyes locked on one another's as she stood frozen in place.
"Hey," he smiled. showing off those dimples she immediately fell for the first time they met. "Uh.. I just came to tell you I was proud of you, the bakery looks just like I imagined it would. I also got you these." He said barely above a whisper as he handed her a bouquet of baby pink roses; her favorite color.
"Hey, wow! "She smiled in a moment of gratitude. "Thank you so much, I'm surprised you came."
"What?" He chuckled. "you didn't think I wasn't gonna support you still?, after all we've been through?"
"I don't know, maybe." She said her heart fluttering in her chest as he gave her a once over. They stood in an awkward moment, she bit at her bottom lip in thought.
Did he have more to say?
"Listen Shelby, I wanted to also see if maybe we could sit down and t-"
"There you are baby, I was looking all over the bakery for you. Are you ready?, I wanna take some more pictures before we head out."An unfamiliar male voice made its presence known as he approached the two of them, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Trying to keep his facial expressions calm and relaxed Amir twisted his lips to the side scratching the back of his neck.
"Yeah, I'm ready baby.. Amir was just giving me these beautiful flowers, can you give us a moment?." She smiled smelling them once again.
His heart was breaking as he stood there watching the woman he loved move on from him.
"Of course baby, I'll be back." He said kissing her cheek before making eye contact with Amir as he walked away to give them some privacy.
"Now, what were you asking me?"
"You know what," He chuckled bitterly. "don't even worry about it Shelby. Congrats again, you deserve it mama." He said as she swallowed down her sudden emotions, she wanted to hug him.
The truth was that she missed him, she believed that he was her soulmate.
"No, tell me." She pleaded holding the flowers tighter in her hands eager to hear what he had to say.
"Nah, It's all good.. I'm gonna head out, you and homeboy have a nice life." He said turning away from her.
"Amir, please.." She said grabbing him but his arm only for him to jerk away causing her to step back a little.
"No Shelby!," He whisper yelled. "you moved on already and I can't sit back and watch the woman I'm still in love with be- forget it. Just forget it." He said lifting his hand as her current boyfriend stood off on the distance with his friends watching it all unfold.
"You- you still love me?" She whispered seeing the tears forming at the brims of his eyes, his heart ached for her.
"I never stopped loving you mama," He cleared his throat as her gaze peered over to the man she was dating, it suddenly all clicked for her... She still loved Amir and her heart had been calling for him since they broke up. "come back to me.. Please?, I miss you, I miss us, I-"
"We gotta go Shelby-" Keion demanded trying to pull her away.
"Man give us a few minutes please!" Amir stressed, his chest heaving up and down as his naturally arched brows furrowed.
"Who is this dude Shelby?!"
Shelby looked between Amir and her current boyfriend Keion, a tear rolling down her cheek.
He's... the love of her life...
