The HeartBreaker

Chapter 5: Re-do

Abigail

For the past week I have been avoiding Jake, when he comes into the cafe, I ask Carol to take his order, then I go in the back until he leaves and most of the time he comes in, he doesn't order and just walks out the door. I feel like a jerk for doing that and maybe I should be strong and confront him but I can't, he stood me up and I'm still fucking pissed about it.

I don't even know why I care so much, I just met him less than 3 weeks ago and I hate it. I need to stop and forget him, no matter how much I don't want to forget him. I tried to hang out with Luke and Chrissy but Chrissy went on a trip with her on-off again boyfriend and Luke went to visit some cousin of his. So here I was alone, at the cafe, on a Saturday and waiting for someone to walk in, buy some things, at least I would have a conversation with them.

The bell chimed and I smiled and looked up, which I wish I didn't. It was him. It was Jake, the person who I have been avoiding. He walked over and I backed up and called Carol and she came over and looked at him then me then back to him and she smiled?

What the hell?

"Can you take over for me?" I asked her and she looked at me and smiled.

"I have some things to do in the back, you will be fine." She said and walked in the back and I knew there was nothing to do because I did it all yesterday.

"Hi, what can I get you sir?" I asked, with a hint of annoyance in my voice.

"A rain check and a coffee, black, please." I scoffed at his statement and he shrugged.

"Coffee, coming right up."  I said and walked to the machine and prepared it for him. I handed it to him and smiled.

"Your total is 2.50, sir." I said and he nodded and handed me the money.

"Abigail, please." He said and went to grab my hand but I instantly pulled it back.

"No, leave me alone, I don't wanna be talking to you right now." I snapped back and walked in the back. I rested my head on the wall and breathed in and out. I just hated how he had the nerve to ask for a second chance.

Hours passed and it was the end of my shift and I headed home. I didn't mind walking so much, it was good cardio and peaceful. I finally made it home and I unlocked my door and what I saw was so pretty. There were flowers in a row and on the outside of them were candles and man it was so beautiful, the path led to my bedroom door and I opened it and saw Jake sitting on my bed with roses in his hand and dressed up in a suit. He looked so good, mhm so freaking good. I set my bag on the chair and walked towards him. He looked up and smiled but it faltered when he looked up at me and I didn't even know I was crying until he focused on my face and reached up and wiped away my tears.

"Abigail, I didn't mean to stand you up, I had to take care of business, I'm so sorry. When I saw you crying in your car, you don't know how badly I wanted to comfort you and tell you that no one is worth your tears but I remembered that I was the one who made you cry and it hurt." He said and tears fell harder, I just couldn't control myself.

"Hey shh, baby," he said as he wrapped me in his arms and wiped my tears, "The last thing I wanted to do was make you cry. I'm sorry, will you ever forgive me?" He asked and I looked up into his eyes and they were so beautiful.

"Maybe over time I will, but i'm not even going to try and acknowledge how you got into my house." I said and he chuckled.

"I made a key, my bad. So get dressed and be ready in 15." He said and walked out of my room and left me standing there bewildered.
