It Just Wasn't Meant To Be

"Jonah?", I said in disbelief.

"Hello, Renee", Jonah said nervously.

Of all the people I didn't expect to see him at this very moment, it would have be my ex boyfriend, Jonah Walters. Jonah was the first guy I had ever loved. We broke up because he wanted to take it to "the next level" and I didn't so he thought so was too prudish and juvenile for him. What's the next level? Well, do I have to spell it out? I'll put it like this, I'm waiting for the right person to be with for the first time.....in that way. My mom prefers that I wait till after I'm married like she did with my dad. Personally I feel he should at least be committed to me. I don't want to end up getting with one of these guys that get what they want and then they're out. I guess that was the main reason I never wanted to with Jonah. What I have may not mean much to the world but it means something to me and I want to lose it to someone who I truly love and truly loves me back, If not my future husband. Jonah found someone new and on prom night they did and split 2 weeks later. I guess I really dodge a bullet there but that wasn't all there was to him just his major downfall. He did a lot of sweet & meaningful things too. And he really did have genuine feelings for me, it's just that he kept listening to all his buddies and bought into the whole "everybody's doing it" lie. But I digress, here he was at my surprise party.

"So what's it been 2 years since we last saw each other?", Jonah chuckled awkwardly.

"Has it really been that long?", I asked looking at the ground

"Yeah I believe so.", he replied, "Well are you going to be a stranger or can I gave a hug?"

"Yeah totally!", I murmured hesitantly reaching out my arms but trying not to let it show that I was hesitant. When he went to hug me though there was no mutual hesitance in it what so ever. In fact it seem like he was lingering. He felt so warm and his cologne smelled intoxicating. He's wearing Adam Levine. Nice. It seems like we been hugging for over a couple minutes but I know it has not been that long . At most 30 seconds but I didn't let go and neither did he. The familiar ness of this hug its just too hard to let go of, meanwhile I look over a Stacy and she's smirking. She's always wanted us to get back together, but that wasn't until a few years after we graduated from high school, after he had grown up and matured a bit. I thought about maybe giving him another chance if he ever asked me, but now that he's actually been there and done that he might press for it again maybe more so than he did when we were together in High School. Plus at this point it wouldn't be a good idea since I'm about to fly out to Montana. But again, I digress. Just as hesitant as I was to hug him he was hesitant to pulled away from our eternity of a hug.

"Oh I see you two are catching up.", Mama said.

"Yes indeed, we are," I said looking at the ground again.

"Well when you called and invited me over to wish Renee here Good speed before she goes on her big Designing Journey, I couldn't turn you down.", Jonah said putting a hand on my shoulder.

The fact that my mom called Jonah doesn't surprise me at all. My mom was a little disappointed we broke up, not in either of us but to her we seem like such a sweet couple and she thought he was really good for me and in a number ways he was. He help me get over my shyness so I started going to more parties, after school games, dance, etc. He helped me realize my passion for design & encouraged me to sign up for our school's fashion program & I did really well. Yes if it hadn't been for Jonah Walters then I wouldn't be where I am now.

"Mr. Peebles is here all the way from Springfield, he's going to want to talk to you.", Mama said whisking me away from Jonah.

I was relieved yet oddly annoyed at the same time. I guess I was annoyed because maybe a small part of me was enjoying Jonah's company the small part of me that still has feelings for him. I work the room the whole time talking to neighbors and friends that I went to school with, telling them about where I would be staying in Montana and when the movie would be released. Of course you know there was a number of "Hiddlestoners" and "Pine Nuts" asking me all sorts of questions about getting to work with them.  I looked over to see if I could find Jonah and I sure enough found him flirting with Mr Peebles' daughter, Nina. Go figure. I don't know why I was so bothered by it though, I mean we've been broken up for well over eight years. Every time either one of  us has gone on a date and the other knew about it, we both seem to be bothered by it. But I'm starting to digress again.
