This moment is everything I need it to be.

Right now I have the opportunity to make things right with Sterling. If that is even possible. I look at him and he looks at me and the air is charged.

I need him to make the first move because I have no idea what is going on right now. I have no idea what he is going to say or how he is going to do it.

He takes a step forward and then takes two back. I think he is at an indecision and I don’t blame him. I mean, who could?

I have no idea if I could look at the person who broke my heart and still have a conversation with them. Heck, I don't think I would even stick around to hear what they had to say.

He clears his throat, something that seems loud in the moment, and I close my eyes slowly. I lean against the island and take in a deep breath for the seventh time that minute.

At that moment it felt like anything could happen.

Everything could go right.

Everything could go wrong.

“I heard. “ He says quietly and my eyes spring open. That is not even close to what I suspected him to say. I was thinking something along the lines of ‘ I hate you and never want to see your face again.’. But, instead, I am left with this.

He must see the confusion on my face because he shakes his head, running his hands through his brown hair. It flies everywhere and his hands tense a little.

    “I mean I heard what Julio said to you. I was outside when he showed up.” Okay, that was even more shocking.

I remember seeing someone outside and I realize that it must of been him. That means he heard about Aiden and the bet. Heard every freaking thing. I bring my hand up to my forehead and rub little circles, closing my eyes again.

“If you are here to gloat, I do not need to hear it. I am going through so much that I can’t even think about you gloating and telling me that you were right. “

I hear him walking toward me and I keep my head down. I open my eyes again and I see his feet in front of me. I look up, my hand still on my forehead, and he shakes his head sadly.

“I don’t hate you Mia. I could never hate you. “ I let a relieved sigh. I have been holding this ... feeling since the day I told him and I am so happy I can let it go. Here I thought he hated me, but now he was standing here, telling me he didn’t.

I meet his eyes which were full of so much sorrow and depth and .. hurt, that it was hard to look at him. But, I owed him that much.
