DID I EVER|CHAPTER FOUR

      His laugh trickled like a never ending melody.

         Ashew and I was sitting at a dingy little coffeeshop called Beans are Grindin .Surprisingly I hadn't been the one to call him he had called me.It had shocked me enough to get me out off my comfy bed leaving Hadley to make her own breakfast (much to her displeasure).

      I swirled at the straw of my drink swishing the drink inside around ,churning the ice.My mind was calculating ,searching why he would call me of all people but it came out blank.I was just the girl correction woman he had left at the altar.

      Ok I've got to stop bringing that up in my thoughts.
 
    "Ouu I have another one!"He exclaims after his little majestical
laughing fit.I gesture him to go on.

   "Why did the dad die in lion king?"He asks

     I stare at him expectantly knowing that question was rhetorical.

     "He couldn't mufasa"He said chuckling. Ashew was a Disney hoe,he loved the Disney more then he loved himself.I know what your thinking 'A Surgeon who's worth 1.2 billion and couple more stacks is in love with Disney' Not only that but he was a cartoon fanatic in general.
There was times i would come home early on one of his days off only to see him in his trousers dancing to the little enstiens remix.

     I cock my head to the side staring at him curiously. What exactly was I doing here?Why did he invite me here?Was Justina okay with it?Well I don't give a hoot if Justina was okay with this but did she know?

   Tapping my recently manicured finger on my coffee cup staring at him cautiously by now his laughing had stopped and he was staring right back "Why am I here?"I say almost to myself ..my voice was above a whisper and I didn't think he had heard me until I saw one of his eyebrow arch.

   "Because I invited you"He said in a 'duh' tone staring out the window.I noticed his hands tighten on the cup as if anxious.

  "I know that but why did you invite me?"I ask him twiddling my thumbs growing equal anxious but the good kind.

  "I wanted to the bury the hatchet"He said staring into my eyes I saw a flicker of fear pass through his eyes as if him insinuating forgiveness will make me have an out burst."plus I missed you"

         My heart roared loudly in my ear.He had missed me?Me?
Mrs.Leftatthealtar?

      God I sounded so bitter!

    "So what do you want?Forgiveness?"I said slowly trying interpret his attentions.

"Forgiveness."He said as if settling for it.He seemed dejected but what else could he want?I mean he has everything money,a home and a gorgeous girlfriend.

     I raise my cup to my cups mulling over what he just said.
How could I forgive him after all
he's done to me?He toyed with my heart as if it was nothing. He not only protested but walked out what was supposed to be the greatest day of our lives.

    Yet being the girl I am I found myself agreeing.

   "Ok your forgiven"I said watching as his grim expression lifted into a beaming smile"But you have to buy me 20 bubble bath bombs oh and Nutella"

     What you thought I would forgive him without an exchange?

    He smiles gently at me a smile that makes my heart flutter just a little "Whatever you want petals"
He says readily but all I can hear is the sound of my heart beat as it picks up.

     He had called me petals the old nickname he had given me.
We had met in my cousin Willow's flower shop.Willow had a hectic situation in the shop long story short I had stray petals in my hair as I bumped into him.

DID I EVER stop thinking about the good old days?
