I woke up looking at my phone to see 10:25 am. My jaw dropped and I got up rushing into my bathroom to shower and get ready. Pryce insisted that I met him at the Waffle House @ 11 but it seems I'm gonna be a little late. Shit, in a way it's kinda good because I didn't wanna show up early anyways.

I got dressed, did my hair and beat my face just to remind him that he fucked up and lost one of the best things he ever had. Then I was finally off....

Once I got to the restaurant arriving at 11:20 am i went in and found him sitting at our table. He looked up from his phone and smiled at me, I took a seat in the booth in front of him and smiled back too.

" You made it. I thought you would ditch me." He spoke followed by a little chuckle.

" I would never do that" I cooed in a serious tone.

" Well... I ordered you an orange juice because I know that's what you like."

I nodded" That's fine" I said dryly.

After that we shared an awkward moment of silence. Lots of things were pacing around in my head and I was just waiting for him to open up his mouth and talk about what why we're even here in the first place. " You look nice" he finally spoke. I chuckled and rolled my eyes " Really? Pryce... don't bull shit me-" I said before trying to get up. He pulled my arm and I sat back down.

" Look, I'm just tryna be nice." He cooed.

" Really? Well thank you. But why don't you just cut to the chase? Why am I here?" I asked before crossing my arms.

" I just wanted to talk about us... is that okay?"

" What about us? As far as I know we've both moved on. You have someone and I have someone-"

" You have someone?" He asked.

" Yes I do."

He sighed" I just wanted to talk things out. I figured if we were at least to be friends then we should clear up things between each other." He spoke

" Pryce we're fine-"

" No.... we're not. Esydnia, that girl and I did nothing. I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart, I called her and I even tried to get her to call you and tell you personally. I was drunk, she wasn't. She told me everything."

" And why should I believe you?" I barked.

" Esydnia, you know my fucking heart better than anyone. I would never wanna hurt you in any way. What I did was stupid, but you have to understand I wasn't in my right mind, I was drunk and I fucked up. That has taught me a big lesson, I haven't got drunk since that shit happened." With that he looked up to me with his big brown eyes and reached over the table grabbing my hand.

" Please, I miss you... I love you and you know that."

I snatched my hand away and looked away trying not to tear up. It was hard but I kept myself together
" I don't know what to say Pryce..."

" i will move to Ny, drop ole girl and-"

" Pryce... stop. Look, I forgave you a long time ago. I learned that people make mistakes even though they don't do it intentionally there still has to be a consequence. You may not have meant to hurt me but you did. I don't live here in Georgia anymore so I can't be with you like I wanted and I hated that. I couldn't meet up and work things out, I couldn't apologize for going off or anything. It's just too hard to maintain a relationship when your thousands of miles apart." I explained.
