Rekindled Love

3:15 am

I lay in my bed, the clock reads 3:15 am. I haven't been able to sleep, my mind keeps wandering around and it's nights like these where I go into realization.

I really did mess up with ruby and she's still here, she returned to me. It's unbelievable.

The woman was cheated on by me, tormented by me and insulted my me. I had an affair with her mother, I tormented her by shutting her out and turning her down, I constantly insulted her even when she looked stunning. I pushed her away.

I was a moron, I am a moron.

Athena was a good woman, at some point, but it was no excuse to start up an affair. I don't really know what it was about her that made me continue on the affair after the first encounter. I knew ruby was everything I could've ever asked for but I still chose to do it. I felt so full of myself that I actually thought I was the shit. But I wasn't. No man is a man by having more than one woman, a man is a man when they know how to treat one woman right and keep her happy for the rest of her life, respecting her and loving her, showing her that life is beautiful just like her.

And then Regina pops up in my head.

I could've made things way better with her, I could've treated her like a human. Like the mother of my son. I should've shown her that she did mean something to me because she gave me the best gift of life, Albert. I fucked up with her, too.

I let my bitter self be in charge. I let myself be careless and heartless.

*knock*

"Who is it?" I croak out, watching the door slide open a little. My eyebrows then furrow a little as the door opens wider and i see the person standing before me.
