Inevitable

Chapter 2

H.S

It's been a week since that 'thing' in the bar had happened. It's been a week since Nadine was here. After I drop her off at the airport she said she didn't really go back to New York. After I hooked up with Stass I found her on the lobby of the apartment building with her suitcase. She was almost falling asleep on the sofa. I asked her what she was doing here and she said she doesn't want to leave our problem hanging. Even though I go to university everyday it was okay with her. And I must say we're getting better. It's not that easy throwing a year away.

I feel guilty that I had sex with a random girl four hours after I kissed and told her I love her. I wanted to confess what I did but I don't want to ruin what we are working for the past days. I've been extra affectionate to her since then just to pay back the sin I caused.

"Babe?" I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard her voice from the bathroom. I stand up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom. She is standing there only in her underwear while fixing her hair. I decided to take her out before she goes back to New York for university tomorrow.

"Hey." I said wrapping my arms around her waist. I placed small pecks of kisses to her shoulder up to her jaw. "Are you done?" I ask her.

"Almost." She said. "Go put on a shirt on." She kissed my cheeks and ruffled my hair. I kissed her temple before going out of the room. I pick a black button up shirt. Leaving three buttons opened. Grabbing my boots near my dresser before sitting on the chair and putting it.

Nadine walks out of the bathroom wearing a dress. I squint my eyes I thought about the dress, and then it hits me. She was wearing a dress the same to Stass. The dress fits her but it doesn't fit her as Stass. I shake my head trying to get rid of the thoughts of the girl I met at the club. There's a slim chance of meeting her again and if I do I hope he doesn't remember me.

I stand up from the chair and walk towards Nadine. "Done?" I asked her. She nodded before turning around and wraps her arms around me torso. I hug her back. We stayed at our position for a couple of minutes. "Come on. Our reservation is at seven thirty." I pull out from the hug. She walks to the bed and pick up her purse on the bed. I hold her hand, intertwining our fingers before walking out of my apartment.

We walk out of the apartment, sending a small nod to Dave the bodyguard. I opened the car door for her and she muttered a small 'thank you' going in the car. I round the car and opened my car door before going inside.

The car ride to the restaurant was full of small talk and a few stolen kisses. There was a time we will just be silent and the car will be filled with slight of awkwardness but Nadine tries so hard to come up with a new exciting topic and it warms my heart. But I can't help but feel a little shitty. Despite her efforts my mind still drifts on Stass.

I pick up her hand on his lap. Intertwining our fingers and giving her hands a little squeeze. I brought her hands on my lips pressing kisses on her knuckles - eyes still trained on the road - she looks at me smiles a little.

The dinner was also filled with small talks, reminiscing the past couple of months as a couple. Its crazy how we manage to work this out even she was in New York and I am here in L.A. It's crazy that all of these can end by the mistake I made and I regret it.

No you don't regret it because you enjoyed every single bit of it.

I shake my head trying to get rid of the annoying voice in my head. "So do you like the food?" I ask Nadine.

"Mmh. Really good." She smiled. "Thank you."

"For what?" I look at her with confusion.

"For giving us another chance. For believing in us." She placed her hands on top of mine.
