She did the only thing she could, she sipped her drink until she finished it and then walked away. She walked as fast as she could to Troy and Ashley and dragged them out of the club without a single explanation.

He tried keeping up with her but there were too many people and he lost her in the crowd. He sighed sitting down and asking for another drink. He was frustrated. After one and a half months he still couldn't utter a word to her. He was still a coward.

Troy dropped her off at her apartment and she thanked him and apologised for her behaviour before running into the building her eyes tearing a little.

She sat down in her bathroom floor, tears cascading down her cheeks her make up smudging as she drank from a large bottle of wine. She didnt know why she was crying. Maybe because when she saw him, all the memories of them came rushing through her mind and she cried because she had lost him and there was little hope for her love life now.

It was around midnight when she finished crying and had a shower and felt refreshed before slipping into her sheets and closing her eyes.

*ring*ring*ring*ring*
She scratched her eyes before picking her phone up and looking at the screen it was Kalisa calling her.
She picked up the call only to hear her sister shouting.

"Kali what's wrong?" She asked worry evident in her voice as she sat up.

"My water just broke. I'm going to the hospital please come," she said hanging up.

What?what?what? Thought Keyna as she jumped out of her bed and ran to her closet.

She pulled out black yoga pants and a grey shirt before slipping into black vans, grabbing her phone and her keys and running out of the house. She got into her car and drove as fast as she could to the hospital she knew Kalisa would go to and she found a parking spot before she jumped out of the car and rushed into the building.

"Excuse me I'm looking for Kalisa Michel's she's giving birth and I need to know where she is," said Keyna to a nurse at the desk.

"Follow me," said the nurse and Keyna followed the nurse to the private ward where she was told to wait because it was too late for her to go in. Kalisa was already in labour.

"Thank you," she said as she sunk into the seat and her stomach clenched in nervousness.

She said a short prayer for her sister hoping that everything would go well and that the baby would be born healthy. She tapped her foot on the ground anxiously as minutes went by.

He saw the unforgettable figure seated on a chair in the empty waiting room and his spirits rose. He went to get her and himself coffee before finally getting the courage to go to her.

He sat down next to her and she starred at him rudely as he did it.He handed her the cup of coffee and she took it and looked away from him.

She sipped the delicious coffee, her favourite and started over thinking as she heard his soft breathing from beside her.

"I'm sorry," he finally said looking at her for a response.

"I'm sorry for everything that I've done to you, for being a selfish heart breaking jerk, for taking away what you loved. I'm sorry for hurting you and making you cry. I'm so so sorry Keyna please forgive me," he said.

She looked at him, at his sincere brown eyes, at his sorry face and unkept beard and smiled at his glorious sight. Even now at four in the morning he still managed to look extremely attractive with his hair falling to his face.

"I still hate you, you know and you'll have to make it up to me," she said smiling at him again and as he grabbed her face and pulled her in for a long, passionate kiss.

"I promise you Keyna I will even if it kills me," he whispered into her ear after breaking off the kiss.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"Joshua called me," he said looking at her green eyes.

"Oh. Okay," she said.

They sat in comfortable silence as if nothing had happened to them,her head placed on his chest and his arms wrapped around her body.She loved the way they were right now. She loved the warmth if his body against her and his sweet smell.

"I'm so glad that I have you back," he whispered after a while before placing a kiss on her forehead and pulling her even closer.

After two hours, a doctor walked into the room and asked for them. She jumped out of her seat and followed the doctor and Malcolm followed closely behind.

"Keyna," said Keyna and her eyes light up. "You came," she said looking down into her hands into her at her new born child.

"You're my sister. Offcourse I came for you.I'm sorry that I didn't make it here earlier. I should have been with you the whole time,"she said.

"Its okay, you'll be here next time and besides none of us new that she would come this early," said Kalisa reassuringly.

"Do you want to hold her?" Asked Kalisa looking into her daughters hazel coloured eyes.

Keyna took the child into her arms and looked at her beautiful face. "What's her name?" She asked.

"Amari. Her name is Amari," she said proudly.

"That's such a beautiful name," said Keyna handing the beautiful baby back to her mother.

"Well we asked you both to come for a big reason,"said Kalisa looking at her husband ,"well we want you two to be Amari's godparents.Will you?"she asked looking at her sister

"Off course we would love to," said Malcolm pulling Keyna close to him.

"Thank you so much," said Kalisa looking at the both of them

"When did the both of you get back together anyway?" She asked.

"Today, a few minutes hours ago actually," said Malcolm proudly.

They talked for an hour before Keyna stood up," We should probably go now. You need to get some rest Kalisa. Well be back later okay?" She said hugging her sister.

"Okay. I'll see you soon. Say bye to your aunty Amari," she said turning the baby to face Keyna.

They walked out of the hospital and after exchanging a few words and his kiss on her forehead, she got into her car and drove home.
