Sorry, I Don't Date Singers.

One More Chance

"Well, that was.. unexpected but needed." Blake muttered after Behati was gone.

I took a deep breath, deciding that the next series of events I was going to attempt needed to be done now or never. I had waited too damn long for what was mine. I yanked my coat off of the coat rack near the door, grabbing my keys and my shades after that.

"Adam? Adam! What are you doing?" Blake asked.

I slipped my shades on and looked at him, "Take care of Bones for me, okay? I'm getting the women I love back."

He smirked at me and crossed his arms. "Atta boy." He muttered. "Go get her tiger, we have things covered here."

I smiled my thanks before slipping out the door and jumping in my car, hoping my plan would work.

I had just rang the doorbell, I was impatiently waiting for an answer. My foot tapped and tapped, the anxiety of needing to see Mimi, and see her now, was getting to me. I looked up as the door swung open, a wide eyed Vince looked me up and down. He was on the phone, speaking a conversation in his native tongue that I partially understood. I had missed Mimi so much that I was actually taking lessons in Italian. I wasn't near fluent or anything but I could say sentences and follow along if they weren't speaking too fast.

Vince nodded me inside, his eyes slightly suspicious but his tone was normal. I could tell he was talking to someone about booking one of his models on a job. A small part of me hoped somehow it was for her, even I  knew how much of a long shot that was though. We were standing in the kitchen when he said his goodbyes and hung up.

"Mind telling me why you're showing up at my doorstep after all this time?" He asked, a raised eyebrow that almost reminded me of hers.

"Please, Vince, I need your help. I need to see Mimi. I can't take this anymore, she's everything to me and I need to tell her that. She deserves an apology for all I've put her through." I begged.

"Why should I even let you near her? So you can destroy her again? She saw that picture of you and your girlfriend after the night she slept with you! How could you do that to someone you claim you love?" He growled at me.

I was stunned in realization momentarily, so that's why she left like that. She thought she was just a one night stand to me! Just something to accomplish. Fuck, I was so stupid! I would hate me too.

"It's not like that, I swear! I know this looks terrible, I know it must have killed her inside after seeing that. You have to believe me when I say I was only with that girl to try and get over Mimi, so she could be happy without me. I never would have done that to her if I had any feelings for the other woman. Mimi has always been who I wanted, that's why I was so eager that night when she showed me she felt something for me. I never meant to be the one to do that to her, I would go back and change everything if I could." I said, near tears at the thought of the kind of pain she must have went through.

Vince sighed, his facial expression was as if he was thinking something over. The minutes we stood there silently felt like dreaded hours, as if he was the one who decided my fate. I was holding my breath once he spoke again.

"I couldn't even help you if I wanted to. When she left you, she left me, too." He looked away and out of the kitchen window, a tinge of pain in his voice.

"What? What do you mean?" This couldn't be happening, he was my only hope!

"She said she needed time away from everything, she needed to find herself. I haven't heard from her in six months." He seemed downright depressed now.
