Soul Mates?

Is he really so bad? (3)

I haven't heard anything from Cole, not that I was expecting to or anything. I was sitting in my room texting Anastasia about our favorite show coming back in 3 days but who's counting? Actually we are-it's three days until Once Upon a Time comes back. The doorbell rings but nobody makes a move to go get it so you know I'm left to answer the door. Once I open the door there's a giant teddy bear sitting there with a note in front of it. I pick up the note and drag the bear inside and up the stairs. I hop on my bed and read the note:

I know we got off to a rough start. We are soul mates for heavens sake! I honestly can't stop thinking about you even though we had but one conversation and I was a total jerk. please let me make it up to you by taking you out to dinner tonight at the diner-I'll be there at 7 if you show up great if you don't I know I have messed up bigger than I thought. "Without you, tomorrow wouldn't be worth the wait and yesterday wouldn't be worth remembering" Please give me a chance... -Cole.

You know maybe I will give him a chance. I text Anastasia, Anabelle and Kate telling them the news and obviously telling them exactly what the note says and a picture of the bear.

6:30

I sit at the diner knowing I'm early but I was nervous.

6:40

The waitress has checked on me several times now each time I tell her I'm fine

6:50

You'd think he would be a little early

7:00

Nope no sign

7:30

if he wanted to stand me up then why the big gesture??

7:59

"Hey Layla!!! I'm here, right on time 8 o'clock sharp," Cole says out of breath.

"You told me 7...I've been sitting here for an hour and a half," I snap

"I'm so sorry I could have sworn I wrote 8..." He trails off.

"Whatever, I came here to give you a chance and now let's see if you even deserve that chance,"
