Tú y Yo (Prince Royce)

Chapter 37- Please Stay Forever With Me

*Prince Royce's POV*

I woke up and my neck was killing me.

I sat upright and looked around at my surroundings. White and mint colored paint, chairs with the coverings peeling off, a flat screen TV broadcasting the news and a sea of worried and tired Rfaces.

Of course, I fell asleep in the hospital waiting room.

It took me a minute to realize that yesterday I had finally become a father, but I thought that life would still feel so much... different now.

I checked my watch. It was only ten thirty. Ava wasn't to be released until six.

I sat there, half awake, wondering what I could do to kill time. Then a thought dawned on me. I guess there wasn't much to do but wait, was there?

. * * * .

I stood triumphantly as I finished getting the car seat situated in the car. I finally got it in, and just in time because it was almost one.

I started the car up and brought it around to the front of the hospital in order to wait for Ava to arrive. I didn't want her walking more than she had to.

She came out a few minutes later, with Alexiel bundled in her arms. I hurriedly got out to help her out. I was way too cold.

"Geoffrey, it's alright. I think I know how to buckle a baby in a car seat."

"I know, Ava.", I said. "But it's the beginning of December and you just had a baby. I got this, don't worry."

"I'm not completely helpless, you know.", Huffed Ava as she made her way to the passengers side.

For the first few minutes, the ride was relatively quiet. Then Ava spoke, breaking the silence.

"Are you sure were ready?"

I glanced over at her as I turned the corner. "Ready? For What?"

"This.", She nodded towards the back seat, where Alexiel was fast asleep.

I sighed, searching for an answer. "I don't know. We're just gonna have to figure all of this out, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so...'

Ava had this far off look on her face as I pulled into the parking lot if the apartment complex.

"You okay?", I asked her.

She nodded, but it wasn't very convincing. "Yeah, I guess."

I studied her for a minute once I turned the car off. "You sure?"

"Yeah," she practically whispered. "I'm fine." Then she wordlessly got out of the car and took the baby out, leaving me behind.

I sat in the car for a few more minutes, wondering what was wrong with her. Would there always be tension in the air if we were living under the same roof again? Was she back to hating me?

*Avadele's POV*

I sat quietly on the couch, with a blanket wrapped around me. You ever had those moments where you just think there and think about life? Well, that was me right now.

I looked around the apartment and recalled all the old memories that Geoffrey and had shared here. I never really realized how mucho missed those days until now.

Geoffrey arrived a few minutes later.

"Hey, umm... you wanna get some sleep? I bet you're super tired.", He said, as he sat down next to me.

"I am. But I don't think I'll be able to get to sleep just yet, too much to think about, you know?"

He nodded in agreement. "I understand...the rooms open whenever you wanna go to bed."

"Nah, I'm fine here."

"On the couch?"

"Yup."

"No, ill sleep on the couch, Ava. It's the least I can do for you."

I sighed. "Geoffrey, it's fine."

"No, Ava, it's not.", He started in a calm, but firm voice. "You've been so distant lately...so stubborn. I don't understand why. I know that I fucked up, I don't know how many times I have to tell you I'm sorry. We're gonna have to be around each other a lot more now, so whatever grudges you're holding need to stop."

"You can apologize all you want. You still did what you did. If you were really sorry you wouldn't have cheated in the first place.", I said quietly.

"I know you're doubting everything right now. I know you felt like she had something you didn't. Well, thats not true. You're beautiful and just as close to perfect as it can get, Ava. She meant nothing to me. Nothing. I've probably said that almost a million times."

I crossed my arms. "Well, you can say it a million more."

"This is exactly what I mean.", He said, shaking his head. "You're so stubborn. Listen, I don't expect you to come running back into my arms or anything but all I want is your forgiveness. I know exactly what I did. I know it was wrong. I'm willing to admit all of that. But you're keeping things inside too. You can't let go of me, Ava. I can see it in your eyes. You still care about me, don't you?", He asked me this, but there was a certainty in his voice like he already knew the answer.

I didn't know exactly how to reply. I knew he was right. Hell, we both knew he was right. "I...miss us...", I said slowly.

His facial expression immediately softened. "That's all I ever wanted to hear, Ava." Then he hugged me.

Then he kissed me.

God, I missed his lips so much.

I pulled away. "Geoffrey, we can't do this."

"And why not?"

"I don't think we want another one, now do we?", I asked as I gestured over to Alexiel, asleep in his crib.

"I guess you're right..." He sighed as he pulled me back into his arms. "I missed you, Ava. Like, I thought about you a lot." He was silent for a moment. "Does this mean...?"

I thought for a moment, even though I knew exactly what he meant. "Yeah, I think it does."

I couldn't see his face, it was too dark and I wasn't facing him, but I could tell he was smiling. "I promise you, Ava. I will never, ever do you wrong again. You mean too much to me. You're gonna have to trust me, even though I broke your trust before."

Something told me he was right. "You're forgiven. Like, officially forgiven. We'll leave it all in the past now.", I told him.

He linked his hand in mine and gave it a slight squeeze. "I love you, Ava."

"I never stopped loving you, Geoffrey."

Geoffrey sighed once again, but this time it was a sigh of relief. Of content. "Can we just sit here forever?"

"If you want.", I replied sleepily.

"Good, 'cause I want to enjoy this moment. There's no better place to be than holding you right now."
