Some things are hard to look past, especially when it comes to Noelle and Michael's situation. Having to always be understanding and compromising with certain things isn't what Michael nor Noelle ever thought t...

Noelle
I was sitting in Mrs. Graham's restaurant, in Queens, waiting on this fool to show up. I has been a week since I left LA ago. I thought it was best to come back home to see how my business was doing without me. I shocked how well Monica was able to hold things down with interns while I was away. I immediately told her about everything that went down in LA. Even the whole situation about me confronting Tristan. Of course, she sided with Michael about me hashing things out with Tristan for the better of our relationship, yet I've been prolonging it.
I honestly was terrified of having a sit down with my ex. The last time we've tried to talk it out he had the audacity to kiss me and make my life a living hell again! But I knew avoiding the situation would only make matters worse with my relationship with Michael and the trust issues that still linger. Could you blame though?
Anyway, I decided that seven days, five hours, and 30 minutes were long enough to decided to get in contact with Tristan. So I hit him up this morning to meet me at 'our' spot to lay everything out on the table. I took another sip of my lemon water and checked the time on my iPhone to see it was a quarter after 1. I looked towards the entrance and still saw no sign of Tristan's ass.
He better not have stood me up I thought as I leaned back against the booth I was in.
Finally, the sound of the wind-chimes, on the restaurant's entrance doors began to chime alerting that someone had just entered. I looked over to see the devil himself. Tristan's eyes made a connecting with mines and he began to walk over to where I was. Which was far in the back of the restaurant, so that no one would spot us.

Stopping right in front of me, Tristan had on very serious look upon his face as he sat down. When he finally had sat down, there was an awkward silence between us. It was hard to say where to start up a conversation. After all the things we've done to each other you could feel the tenseness. I decided to be the brave one and break the uneasy feeling.
"Hey Tristan. I'm glad you came." I said with hesitant in my voice. He simply nodded.
"No problem." He simple said as the waiter place his drink onto the table.
"How have you been?"
"Fine... besides my moms and my manager treating like a broken vase. I'm chillin'." He says adjusting I his seat. He still had a wrist case on that the hospital put on him after the incident in my old apartment.
"I wanna apologize for what happen that night. I didn't mean for Michael to do that to you and for not speaking to you at the hospital."
"Naw dollface, I understand. I should be the one apologizing. I've done a lot thinking since then and I'm really sorry for everything I did. I truly do regret for acting childish like that. I know I probably caused a lot of issues for you and pretty boy, but you gotta understand everything I did was out of pure jealously." He stated.
"Jealously? Tristan you went completely nuts! I've never seen you acted like that in our ENITRE relationship. Even before we dated you've never done anything like that." I calmed myself down after I realize a few of the people were looking in our direction.
"Look... I don't wanna fight with you anymore. I'm tired of us going back and forth with the same ol' nonsense. When does it end?" I said exhausted
Tristan reached across the table to grab my hand, but I pulled it back. I saw look in his eyes and saw that he was being genuine, so I placed my hand back into his. He massaged my hand for while as he looked me in my eyes. Tears being to fall from his as he open his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I used my other hand to wipe the tears that fell and he leaned in towards my touch.
"I didn't mean to hurt you Noelle. You gotta understand you are my first love. The first girl I ever showed my true self. The only person I've ever wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Just the sight of seeing another man being near you shook my entire world. I know I messed up. I know I cheated on you. I know I abandoned you when lost not only your mom, but our child as well. If I could turn back time and undo my mistakes with you I would, but I know I can't. What we have is... was real and I hope you could find it in your heart to forgive." I sighed as I felt the tears fall from my eyes. I nodded my head in agreement.
"I have Tristan. I already have. I just want things to go back to being how it use to be before we dated. I still want us to be friends... If you want to I mean." Tristan put on his infamous smirk that he always use to do when we were together.
"I wouldn't want it any other way NoNo. You can't get rid of me that easy." He said as both got up from our seats and embraced in tight, yet friendly hug. After our hug we decided to finish our meeting by ordering our food while taking a few pictures for the public to show that we made up. Honestly, I felt like a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. I will always have love for Tristan and I know I will never find another guy like him. He will always be my first love, and my first babydaddy, but it's time for me to move on to bigger and better things. I am ready to see what the future with my relationship with Michael.
