Closer than you think

Chapter 5

You know those mornings you wake up and you feel like the universe was made for you. Yhup that's the type of morning I'm having. Birds singing, sun shining, people laughing in the corridor. If there was a such thing as a perfect morning this would be it.

There was one thing though. One thing that I hadn't felt in a long time. Something different. Freedom. I didn't realize until now that I was suffocating. A weight was lifted off my shoulders and it felt relieving. Nathan had not tried to contact me and I'm sure not contacting him.

I rolled over and picked up my phone. It was almost 10. I quickly got up and started getting ready.

I was ready in 45 minutes. Whilst I waited I replied to my mums text and took a mental note to call her later. I'll probably leave out the details on Nathan before she freaks out and shortens my stay.

There was a knock on the door interrupting my thoughts. Looks like Jordan doesn't keep a lady waiting. I like that. I couldn't help but smile to myself.

There was another knock on the door before I realized that I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot to open the door. I got up and opened it.

'Hay,' I couldn't help but notice how cute he looks. He isn't over dressed and he still looks as hot as hell. My cheeks were starting to burn up and I break eye contact with him.

'Hay, you look nice,' my heart kind of dropped nice? Wait...why exactly did it drop? Why do I even care? 'So are you ready to really see Paris?'

4 hours later we were sitting in small cafe laughing about some story Jordan said his grandma always tells them about the Eiffel Tower.

Before we knew it it started raining. Way to ruin a perfect day now isn't it. Jordan looked outside and the rain didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon then he said,' this could go on for a long time. I better get you back before we get rained in.'

The drive wasn't long and I let Jordan drop me at the door I the hotel since he also had to get home. I would have told him to wait here till it was over but something told me not to.

Today was fun though. Not once did my thoughts drift to that good for nothing little urg. Just thinking about him brings back a lot of unwanted emotions. When I got to my hotel room I found a note neatly stuck to the door. I knew it was coming just not like this.

I rushed inside and opened it.

Dear Amiya,

You always complain about how people don't write enough letters anymore. So I guess this is a start. I know it took this long but everything has a beginning right?

Amiya what we have gone through is just the begging of our relationship. Every road has a bump just like every relationship but the car still moves past it and that shows so can we.

I know this seems cliché. The whole letter writing thing but I don't know how else to say I'm sorry.

To say that it wasn't what it looked like is just another excuse. It was exactly what it looked like but not exactly in that way.

I don't know how to explain this but she's part of a plan. It seems stupid but trust me if you really knew what was going on you would understand.

I should have explained to you earlier and this is no way to explain. Through a letter? I want to tell it to face to face.

Let's was the only way to help my dad.

Amiya please just hear me out. Tomorrow if you are willing to listen to me come to the restaurant we went to the other day. That's where it started so that where I want to end it. I'll be there at 8.

If you don't come I'll understand but going on without you is killing me everyday.

-Nathan

My heart was pounding. He did not leave a single clue on why he did it. Curiosity filled me on why he did it. The question is though if I actually go will I be willing to take him back?
