[Mevrick's POV]
It's almost five months after Nickson was arrested. It hurts you know, to loose the people you truly care about, one which you pushed away and the other who always wanted to see you fall. I guess the one to blame is me. If I was good, open to others feelings I wouldn't have hurt Nick and I would've seen that all Theresa wanted was my good but I'm just a fucked up human. A fucked up human that deserves to be alone.
My investigators have searched for her everywhere but there have been no lead until last week.
"Sir, we've gotten her location."
"Send me the details." I ordered and it was instantly sent to my email
Turns out that Theresa Martins made something out of herself. I smiled, that girl isn't one to give up. She started a mini restaurant a month after she left and it grew rapidly. For a fast food joint she did gain quite the game but who am I kidding, she's a good cook. Gosh! I miss her cooking. Her address and other important stuffs where with me as I booked the next flight.
I'm coming Tessy.
I didn't feel as thrilled as I was when I stood in the airport. She wouldn't want to see me, what if she turns me back in an instant? What if she've moved on?
Damn! A lot of what if questions filled my head but no matter how I tried to push them away, they came back and with force.
I checked in a hotel close to where she set up her fast food joint. I will meet her but what would her reaction be? Surely there's going to be hate and disgust on her face I won't be shocked if she even hit me. The next morning I got up and walked down to her mini restaurant. With my hood on I stood across the street as I watched her attend to her customers with her ever huge smile. Her eyes met mine and she froze. I bet she can recognize me anywhere and under any disguise. Her smile dropped but just continued what she was doing. I left before she could see me again.
How am I going to talk to her? I messed up, I freaking messed up! I kept blaming myself until I reached my hotel room. Well I wouldn't know if I don't try. After giving myself the most encouraging and motivational speech ever, I walked up to her the next day.
"Hey." Was the only word that got out of my mouth
She looked at me without saying a word. After about three seconds, she shook her head and attended to a customer who walked in. Her smile as bright as ever, I just stood there.
"What are you doing here?" She asked
"I..." All the words wanted to come out but they all got stuck.
"If you don't mind -which I don't care- I have people to attend to. So you can either place your order or get out." She put on a fake smile after speaking.
I told her I'm paying for everything she's selling today but instantly regretted it.
She laughed at my reply "If you think money can buy you an audience you must be sick."
I am sick! "Look, I'm sorry I said that. I just...can we talk? Please?"
"You said what you needed to months ago so every other thing is irrelevant."
That hurt, badly. "Please." I could only beg. "Hear what I have to say and if it still doesn't make sense or matter, I'll walk out of your life for good."
"First, you're already out of my life. Second, You're going to leave immediately if I listen to you."
She really wants me out of her hair doesn't she. I mean, I can't blame her I practically sent her out of my house, a place I couldn't stay due to her memories hunting me.
"So you're saying I only get one shot to talk to you."
She nodded. "Right. Can we meet at my hotel?"
She burst out laughing "You think I'm that stupid? We'll meet in a public place."
"We can't, Tessy.." I pleaded
"Fine, my place by 6:00 pm. A minute late and..."
"I'll be there on time." She wrote her address on a paper which I took.
There was no need for me to return to my room, so I drove down to her place to wait for her. She came by 5:00 pm.
"I should've known you'll be here an hour earlier." She opened her door as I followed her in. I couldn't help but think of how I held her waist that fit perfectly in my arms or the time I trapped her against a wall or kissed those lips.
Damnit Mevrick! Focus
"So spill." She said after dropping the bags she held in the kitchen.
"Tessy... I'm sorry I...I really am. I don't know how to say it or show you how much I regret what I did..."
"I take it, Nickson's behind bars?" She cut in but all I could do was confirm her question.
"But that's not why I'm here, Tessy..."
"You said things, yes and you were mad at that time hurt by the thought that I betrayed you and blah blah but none of it matters."
She spoke so casually that I was convinced I'm the only one hurt. Who am I kidding? She's mad at me and not the one filled with guilt.
"I'm sorry."
"You don't have to Mevrick. I never held anything against you."
I was taken aback "You don't?"
"Yeah, what happened happened and there's no reversing the clock."
I'm freaking trying to apologize here "Tessy...I ...what I did was unacceptable and..."
"Mevrick please! Just...just go, okay? If you came here to apologize or bring back old wounds? You're failing, just go."
"No. Not until you let me speak."
"And say what! That you're sorry? There's nothing to be sorry about Mevrick! Don't you see?"
"I want to take it all back, the pains, hurt I caused."
"You can't." I heard her voice break "You can't take back the past, you can only mend it and there's no mending here!"
"I didn't expect our discussion to be like this."
"Yeah, you didn't."
I walked closer to her but she took a step back. It hurts, it's clear she wants nothing to do with me. I don't blame her but myself. I took a step back also letting her know I'm on her side.
"I messed up..what I did...I...fuck I love you." I whispered the last part
"Fuck love." She spat right back
"Tessy..."
We stayed in silence, hurt, pains, emotions around the atmosphere until she spoke up.
"You and I are different. We don't fit. I saw that when Ieft. I've moved on Mevrick, do the same." With that she walked to her door and opened it. I instantly felt a wave of deja vu my heart fell into pieces.
"Two weeks." I said
"Two weeks what?"
"Give me two weeks and if what I say still doesn't make sense, I'll walk out of your life for good."
She hesitated before nodding. That was easy.
"You do know nothing you'll say or do would convince me, right?"
That's why she agreed, to give me two weeks of hurt and torture but I think I deserve it.
"Yeah, so two weeks?"
"One day's gone."
I nodded and stepped out hearing her door lock. I shouldn't have just blabbed my feelings like that, what did I expect? That she'll run right into my arms? This isn't a novel Mevrick, it's reality and you're dealing with Theresa Martins not one of those horny rich girls.
