11 | Sorry

Nick ran into the lobby seeing Melina leaving the elevator.

"Melina!" He called out for her, her eyes widened and she rushed back into the elevator pressing the buttons to go back to her apartment.

He wouldn't make it in time if he waited for the elevator. So he had only one option, the stairs. She lived on the 8th floor, this girl is killing me.
He ran through the doors leading to the stairs and ran as fast as he could. He wasn't gonna let her leave that easy.

He had to apologize. He felt terrible about this whole situation.

Sooner or later he made it to the 8th floor, he pushed through the doors feeling weak and tired. Melina walked down the hallway leading to her room. She was caught off guard hearing the stair well doors open.

She looked back meeting eyes with him. She ran quickly while Nick followed behind calling out her name.

She fidgeted with her keys sliding them through and finally opening it and she then slammed the door shut before he could come in. She heard Nicks body slam onto the door, his breathing was heavy. She was right on the other side, they were so close to each other.

"Melina I know your there, I can see your body figure through the peep hole" He breathed.

Her fists clenched by her side as she cursed silently.

"Just hear me out okay" He slumped down to the ground his back against the door as he sat down on the floor.

Melina sat down on the other side of the door waiting for him to speak.

"I messed up so bad, and I'm so sorry, I can't believe I was being so insensitive, I don't know what happened and I will admit to you, Amina and I we were ex's and I was only in contact with her for a dance she was working on and she needed help doing the moves she asked for my help and of course me being her friend said yes, while we were practicing the moves she got carried away and ended making out with me" ouch. "I pushed her off of me and left immediately, I couldn't do that to you, and I knew I had to tell you about her sooner or later but I didn't think it would be this soon".

He paused not really sure if she was listening, he leaned his head back giving up a bit. He was ready to leave as he stood up.

"Stay" He heard her voice, her soothing voice that he admired so much.

A grin spread across his face.

"You seriously don't know how sorry I am, and it won't ever happen again. There is something I should tell you about though" He licked his lips. "One reason I did come here is because tomorrow the tour starts, I didn't want to leave with us being on bad terms".

"How long is tour?" She asked.

"This ones only three months and a couple of days, we won't be far from each other for long, I promise once we get back I'm taking you out, it's gonna be the best date ever" He smiled to himself already planning what he was gonna do in his head.

Nick heard the door unlocked and he stood up to face Melina. She wrapped his arms around him and hugged him. It was a long awaited hug.

"Jesus, I don't know how I'm gonna be without you for three months" He laughed.

Melina laughed with him until they split apart, "your an asshole you know?"she smiled up at him.

"C'mon let's chill a bit here before I go back home" He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and they sat down on the couch. They didn't watch TV or anything they talked. Talked about everything and anything.

"It's crazy how people change you know, about their characteristics" Nick said playing with Melina's hair.

"Yeah, I get it" She nodded pulling her own hair by accident.
