Another Chance

Risking It All

Dario POV

I was currently sitting in my spot back in LA drinking which I never ever do. Janet was heavy on my mind since seeing her. I was thankful that she let me continue to visit Eissa while he was there, and I was happy that Eissa was doing better. Every time I came to see him, she'd never be there though. I didn't know if she was ignoring me or not. Not that I blamed her.

I don't know why we started arguing. I have no idea what set it off. I can't believe I called her a bitch, but what she said really pissed me off. I could've strangled her for that comment. After all of that though, she still told me she wanted us together. That made me... I don't even know. Thinking things over now, I don't know if I ever really gave her a chance to talk. And I knew she wanted to. I don't know why I kept arguing with her. Maybe just trying to prove I was right. To prove that she was wrong with this whole situation. That was my fault. If we ever got the chance again I knew it'd be different. I'd handle it different. 

Afterwards, Gil gave me weekly updates on Eissa since Janet and I weren't talking since Eissa had been home. Seeing her did bring up a lot of things that I had suppressed. You could see that she was tired and sad, but she was still gorgeous as ever.

Man! I missed her so much. I was good for a while until I saw her again. Like we'd seen each other at rehearsal, but this was a different setting and situation. It was just us and no other distractions. I don't know what made me do it, but I had to kiss her. Maybe it just the emotions of seeing Eissa hurt or maybe just missing her. Probably both. Maybe it was having her in my arms again. When I kissed her, I knew she still loved me. I couldn't help it, but to kiss her again especially with how she responded to me the first time. I hoped it wasn't the last time.

Something switched though when I was there. I wondered if she heard my phone conversation and that's why? I knew she was easily jealous. I was pretty sure that's what it was. I had no proof , but I was confident that's what it was. But we never got a chance to finish the conversation. Now I didn't know if we'd ever get that opportunity again. That chance to really talk. Damn!! Again I fucked that up. Why did I keep arguing with her?! She was trying and I couldn't help it.

I wanted to text her so bad and this is probably the worst time is when you've been drinking. The drinking gave me a little courage, but I still couldn't do it... I couldn't... I put my phone down and sat there. I didn't want to open that door again unless I knew for sure. Wait...she did tell me. She had told me that she still wanted me. She wanted me, her, and Eissa together.

My phone vibrated. Glancing at it I was caught off guard.

Well damn! She must have been thinking about me because she texted me. Shit I couldn't believe it! She actually texted. Holy shit! It had been weeks at this point since I last saw her.

My❤️: I miss you

Did she actually tell me that? I thought I was gonna throw up. I didn't know what to say at first. I looked down and also chuckled to myself. I forgot to change her name in my phone. Not sure if that was intentional or not. I paused....what did I tell her? I didn't know. So I told her the truth. 

D: I miss u too

I'm sure she wouldn't even respond. Surprisingly she texted me back shortly after.

My❤️: Can I see you?

I took a deep breath in. Never in a million years did I think she'd ask me that especially after everything that transpired the way it did at the hospital.

D: I don't know if that is a good idea.

My❤️: Please babe

She hadn't called me that in so long. I didn't know how to respond.

My❤️: I'll come over and we can talk

D: That's fine. I can come to you. Whatever is easier.

My❤️: No I'll come to your place. I need to get away and no one will suspect that I'm there.

D: Okay I'll see you in a bit

My❤️: Thank you

D: For what?

My❤️: Texting me back

D: You're welcome

My❤️:Give me 1-2 hours I'll be there. Let me make sure Eissa is okay with the nanny

D: Okay

That sobered me up with a quickness. Not that I had that much. I jumped up and straightened up real quick and got in the shower quickly.

Janet POV

I couldn't believe that he texted me back. I was shocked that he did. I wasn't even sure what to say at first. So I told him that I missed him because it was true. I did. I couldn't believe I was opening this door again.  I needed to see him again though. I couldn't deny how I felt about him. I had already told him that I wanted it to be us together again. He never gave me a response since he took that phone call. I felt like he didn't really give me a chance to speak. Maybe we finally could.

Seeing Eissa wake up from having Darius there was a miracle to me. How he interacted with Darius made me feel... After our last encounter, I thought he was done with me. I knew he was talking to a female on the phone when he was there so I wasn't sure what that was about. But I had to take a chance again. I didn't care. I was tired. I needed him. I wanted him. I knew I needed to just be up front about everything and put it all out there. Hopefully he'd let me this time.
