Sapphire (MaJim Fan Fic SERIES)

Remorse

The next weeks, Mayim reevaluated her actions and regretted how sinful she became because of Kaley. She turned so lascivious that she actually engaged into a sexual relationship with her. Nevertheless, her relationship with Kaley helped her to forget things like what she wanted. She also felt bad for hurting Kaley and letting things go that far with her when she knows that she can never love her back the way Kaley loves her. She wanted to be alone. She rented a small apartment for her to stay for the mean time.

She thought about going back to Sapphire but the chances of seeing Kaley again is likely to increase when she goes back to Sapphire so she took some more time to think whether she'll go back or not. For the mean time, she worked as a cashier on a small coffee shop near her apartment to have some source of income.

Her new apartment was quite far from Kaley's scope and from Sapphire making Kaley unable to find her for the next weeks.

Ever since she moved to her new small apartment, she would always hang out at the small playground nearby every afternoon to have some quiet time, to be able to reflect and have some epiphany of her life.

One day, a young boy handed her a piece of rose while she was sitting alone in the playground's swing.

"For me?" She asked, curious of why the boy suddenly gave her one. The boy nodded. "Thank you, that is so sweet of you." She took the rose and took a sniff of its scent. "You're welcome, but it wasn't from me." The boy informed her. She slightly curled her forehead in curiosity. "Then who's this from?" She asked. The boy pointed somewhere behind her. She looked back and little did she expect to see Jim standing from afar watching them. The boy ran away, Mayim stood up fascinated to see him again. She didn't know whether to cry, smile or run to him as she saw him smiling at her as if nothing bad happened between them in the pass.

A smile grew on her lips as tears formed in her eyes. She walked towards him and welcomed him with a tight embrace that he reciprocated. He smiled as she hugged him. "I missed you." He uttered and kissed the top of her head. She withdrew her face from his chest and looked up to him. "I missed you too." She replied. "Really?" He uttered with joy. He grabbed her hand and they sat on the playground's bench.

"I've been seeing you here every afternoon for quite some time already." He confessed. "You knew I was here?" She asked. "Well... Sort of." He replied. "Why didn't you talk to me sooner?" She asked. "Uhm... When I saw you again, I felt scared. I thought that maybe you're still mad at me and I don't know how to respond to that. I mean, I... Don't wanna cause another reason to upset you." He explained.

Mayim felt bad for making him feel that way. "I'm sorry..." She apologized. "No. It's fine. I understand. You don't have to apologize." He retorted and smiled at her. "Come on. I don't wanna see you sad. Aren't you happy to see me again?" He cheered her up. She couldn't smile for she felt so bad for hurting someone like him, he was so nice. "Okay. How about I cook dinner for you tonight? At my place." He invited her and she agreed.

He drove her to his place and cooked some white sauced pasta and garlic bread for her. They shared some conversations and laughs together as they went through their meals.

"It's getting late, I should get going." She informed him. He escorted her outside. "By the way your pasta was great." She complimented his cooking. "Thanks to the recipe book." He joked. It was quite late already and Jim preferred to drive her home instead of making her take the bus.

"Thanks for the ride." She thanked him as soon as they arrived on her place. "No problem." He replied with a smile. "Well. So... Good night!" She uttered. He missed saying good nights to her. It took him a while before he was able to reply. "Yeah. Good night, Mayim." He replied. He knew it wasn't a good idea to kiss her a good night and so did she thought that it is unlikely for him to give her some good night kiss. Their thoughts generated an awkward silence.
