| TORI |

Josiah picked me up around 7 and took me to Rioja. One of these fancy restaurants in Denver. I had been here over 7 times in my life time. It was a good restaurant but I was kind of tired of eating the same thing. "So have you been here before?" Josiah asked , as we sat down at the table waiting for our waiter. I nodded , " You took me here before , Josiah. " I said simply. His lips curled and he put his head down a little. The silence finally broke when our waiter came to us and asked what we would like for dinner.

I ordered the usual and Josiah ordered some weird stuff. I was really interested in what he had to say.

"Jordan is really big. " Josiah said.

I nodded. " Yup. You missed out on a lot. "

" Tori-- I'm -- I'm sorry. Honestly. "He said.

"Look. If this is all your gonna do I can leave. I'm tired of hearing excuses of how you left your own damn kid ! I swear it's like you love playing the victim. Period ! YOU LEFT. That was YOUR choice. " I said getting up and heading towards the door. Josiah chased after me and tried to stop me by reaching for my hand.

"Don't touch me ! I'm sick of you !! You and your fucking step mom ! " I shouted.

Josiah was speechless , and I didn't want to hear anything else. So I left.

I went to pick of Jordan from my mom's house and went home. I didn't want to deal with anybody. Nobody at all. I picked up dinner for Jordan & I so once we got home, We ate dinner and I put him to bed. "Jordan. Go Pee before you go to bed. " I told him while brushing my teeth. Once he did he went right to bed and I went to my bedroom and stared at my wall with no emotion. Until there was a knock at my door .

I sighed and rushed to the door . I looked through the peep hole on my tip toes and seen Josiah standing outside my door . I opened the door and sighed . "What do you want ? " I asked him .

"I just wanted to apologize---"I cut him off .

"I don't want to hear your apology !"  I

"Here me out !" He said . I sighed and let him continue . " I just wanted to apologize . For everything , again. I know .. I messed up Tori & I guess it was too soon to try and get you back but truth is ... I miss you , T... I miss us , what we had . When I left & got married I --- I- wasn't thinking straight . She was nothing to me . She was nothing like you . But that's what I needed . I needed you , Tori. I want you . What we have -- we have chemistry . And I can tell this is a sign. Us meeting again ... Me reuniting with my son . It's meant to be .. I know you probably think I'm feeding you bullshit but I'm not . I love you , T. And I---I ain't never stopped loving you ... "

I was in awe.

But it felt like I fell in love with him all over again ..

"This might be too quick to say all that to you ... But that's what I needed to get off my chest .. I'm sorry ." He said . "But I just need you to forgive me .." Josiah put his head down and walked away.

"Wait !" I shouted .

"I--I... I for--I forg-"
He must've took that for a yes because he came right to me and kissed me . And it was like I was on the Josiah Rollercoaster. He came into the house , still not unbreaking the kiss and pushed me up against the wall. We made out for about 3 minutes & it was very intense . & It got even more intense . It felt so good having his lips on mine again . I couldn't resist telling him to stop . "Oh my god..." I moaned . It was actually turning me on . Feeling his kisses all over my body . His sweaty body pressed against mine . I missed him ... And I know it felt wrong but when we made love is felt right.

It felt like we were meant to be .
