Fortunate mistakes

Rekindling an old flame.

Jo's POV

It was 3 O' Clock in the morning, I was still walking around my bedroom.  I couldn't sleep the guilt from what happened with Misha, I wanted to make up for the way I treated him. I love Misha and I missed the heat of his body when we slept, I missed his touch and most of all I missed him and watching him light up a room with just a smile. I pick up my phone to call him but decide it wasn't a good idea. It was 3 am what am I doing. No, I have to call him before I change my mind. I dial Misha's number and wait as i try to get back the man of my dreams.

Misha's POV

She is finally calling. Something changed or something is really wrong. I hesitate and pick up the phone," Hello?".

" Uh, Misha... I'm sorry for calling so late but, I want to apologize to you. I feel terr-" 

" I'm coming over, unlock the door" I hung up before she could say anything.

Knock Knock

"Hey", she trailed off when she spoke.

"Jo I'm here, what did you need?" I was hoping that she wouldn't see it as anger. She grabbed my hand without saying a word to me and brought me into Jared's house. By now 4 am had reached us. As she leads me into the guest bedroom I was worried she only wanted me here for sex as I went to say something to her I realized she had put me in the bed and just laid next to me. She moved close and curled up into my chest.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered.

"No I'm sorry baby I don't want to lose you," I spoke but she didn't answer. I look down to see she was asleep. I kissed her forehead and wrapped my arm around her body and shut my eyes.

Jo's POV

I woke up the next morning to Jarred knocking on my door telling me breakfast was ready. I took a deep breath realizing I feel asleep without talking to Misha last night. I woke him up with a kiss. He looked at me surprised and kissed me again.

"Baby as soon as you are ready to come back to me I'm here" He looked at me.

"I'm ready, I'm so sorry I had no reason to be upset if anything you had the right to be mad at me," I felt bad for the way I had treated him. He kissed my forehead and I got up and got dressed. Misha and I walked out of the guest bedroom and sat down next to Jared and the kids at the dining room table.

"So when did you get here Mish?" Jared looked at me and chuckled.

Misha chocked on his water a little bit " Uh around 3:30-ish sorry I didn't text you." He blushed with embarrassment.

"It's alright man, it's just good to see you," Misha sighed in relief

"Jarred I think I am gonna spend today with Misha if that's ok. I'm not sure when I'll be back"

"OK young lady you better be back by midnight",  Jared gives me a look of sassiness. 

"yes, dad" We chuckled a little as Misha and I left. 

Misha's POV

We spent most of the day looking at new houses and Jo had become tired and cranky. I knew it was time for food. She is such a little kid, "Baby, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry," She stated as she glared at me.

"OK that's fine," I knew she was hungry I made the decision for her we were getting Chinese food. I swear this girl can't make up her mind for anything.

As we pull into the restaurant she realizes the decision I had made for the two of us. A small smile begins to show when she realizes I had been looking at her and the smile disappeared. I parked the car and we both got out and she didn't say a word to me. I held the door and she took a look into what looked like an empty restaurant. She looked at me confused and walked in any way. She saw the one table in the middle of the floor with two plates and two glasses of wine on them and just stared. I walked over to the table and placed my jacket on the back of my chair and walked back over to her as she was still standing in the exact same place with a couple of tears rolling down her face and an expression of happiness and terror was across her face.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong I just don't understand why it's so empty in here usually it's so packed we can hardly get a table." She seemed very uncomfortable and uneasy. Little did I know she was shaking and beginning to panic. A chef placed one giant plate of pan-fried noodles and a side plate of barbeque pork, her favorite. We talked for about fifteen minutes when I saw a tear fall down her cheek.  I scooted my chair towards her when her head fell into her hands. I got out of my seat and moved it right next to hers, I pulled her into my body as she began to relax.  She snuggled her head into my chest. A few small sobs later she turned her head and said, " I'm sorry for ruining our dinner"

"Baby you didn't ruin anything, these things happen and we have been through quite a bit these last few weeks," I cupped her face with my hand. We talked about West and Maison for a while and how she wants to find a new place for us a little smaller and more humble. She blew my mind with how she had lit up the room with her imagination and how much our little family meant to her. I stared into her eyes as she kept talking about our life and the thing we could have. She is so beautiful. We were finishing up dinner and the waiter brought the last glasses of wine as we began to get ready to leave. This was it, this was the moment, I got on one knee and said," Jo, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, I've waited a long time to feel the way about someone the way I feel about you. We have started to put a small family together. I have so many ideas and dreams for us. Jo, will you marry me?" I look at her as she covers her mouth with one hand and wipes away tears with the other. "

" Yes, Misha Yes"  she looked at me with eyes full of compassion and love.

The ride home was quiet but nice. She slid her hand over mine as I rested it on the gear stick. I looked over at her. I haven't ever loved anyone as much as I love her. I'm happy to call her mine.
