5 YEARS LATER!
"SURPRISE!" yelled My friends. I had came home after a hard day at work to find a bunch of people in my apartment.
"happy birthday daisy!" yelled my friend Megan smiling.
"thank you! Did you do all this?!" I smiled Back.
she nodded her head. My apartment was decorated in tinsel lights and looked very elegant but still fun.
"this is amazing! It's so pretty." I couldn't believe it.
"yeah, yeah, your welcome. Now go change and come back out and play." she laughed.
I hugged her then took off to my room. I passed some colleagues and received quite a few birthday wishes.
I shut my bedroom door quickly. I looked in my mirror. I didn't look bad, not party ready of course. But not bad. I had on a tight mid waisted black pencil skirt, a white button down ruffle shirt, with a pair of business heels. My long hair was pulled up into a French twist.
i walked into my bathroom and started pulling the pins out of my hair. Once my hair was down I began looking for the clothes I was gonna wear. I decided on a pair of white skinny jeans and a one shoulder satin black top. My hair was wavy and looked alright. As I turned back to my bathroom to add a little evening makeup, I heard my bedroom door open.
"Megan, I'm almost ready. Just chill alright?" I laughed. I didn't here the door open again so I walked back into my room. "Megan?"
It was then that I say them. It wasn't Megan in my room. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
"Jake?" I whispered.
"Hey bug. How have you been?"
"I've been better. What are you doing here?" I spoke this time a little bit louder. My mind flashing back to the last day we spent together. I remembered the last thing he said to me.
it was graduation. He pulled me aside to tell me that he was leaving right after. He was gonna drive around all summer and then end up at his college in the end. He asked me to come with him. He begged. I don't know why. He knew what I was doing that summer. He knew I had everything already planned out. He walked away saying, "I thought you loved me. But I guess you never loved me as much as I loved you. I wasted all my life waiting on you. I wasted 18 years." he thought of me as a waste of time.
"I came to see my best friend. And apologize for everything I said. And beg her to take me back." he said walking towards me.
"take you back? As what? I wouldn't want you to waste anymore time on me."
"bug I'm so sorry I said all those things. I was hung over and upset. I found out my parents were getting a divorce and that I was the reason they stayed together. I made them miserable. I never meant anything I said I just really wanted you to come with me do I could explain everything to you. You already had your plan, I know. But you acted so excited about it. I wasn't even in your plan. I didn't fit at all and it made me mad. I thought you were trying to ditch me. I talked to my mom about it and she said it was probably because you expected me to be right with you the entire time. Like I always had been. But I didn't think so. A couple weeks after I left realized I had made the biggest mistake I could have ever made. I lost my best friend and the girl I was completely I love with because I was to stupid to tell her how I felt. and I promised I would find you and make it up to you. I never stopped thinking about you. I knew what college you were going to. I just couldn't figure out where you lived and then when I did I was told you moved. I called you every holiday and every birthday but you never called back. I've been waiting five years to tell you that I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for being a jerk and for never telling you. I realize this is quite a lot for you to handle and if you wan me to, I'll leave." he turned as if to leave.
"Jake, wait..." I said carefully. I didn't know exactly what I was going to say but knew I had to say something. "were you really in love with me?"
" I'm still In love with you. There never really has been anyone else. Even the girlfriends I had in high school were never really important. I've been in live with since our 14th birthday party. When we slow danced together. I never forgot that night." he said letting his voice trail off...
"Why? What was so special about me? Why did you never tell me? I loved you too so much. But I didn't think it would ever matter. I never thought jake Collins would ever fall for me I was just the sidekick. You were the only frown I had and it killed me when you left! I ha no idea what to do. We were supposed to stay together always. But you left me. I had no where to go. No where to live. You knew my mom had kicked me out. I had to give up my summer classes to pick up another job just so I could pay for an apartment. I was so lonely. I didn't have any family or anyone to talk to! And I never found anyone til I graduated college. I waited so long for you to come back. I knew if you came back I would have been okay. But you never did. I still haven't had a boyfriend since blake. Bc I was still hoping that you'd come back. I was so in love with you. But you left me with no reason. You called me a waste of time. The last thing your ever said to me. And now 5 years later you show up in my apartment in my bedroom to tell me you lo-...." my words were cut off by his lips.
He pulled me in for a kiss. But not just any kiss. The best kiss I had ver had. Not saying much I know. But this was the kinda of kiss I saw in movies or read about in books. The kind of kiss that would make you melt like you were the most desirable women in the world. I kissed him back. Knowing I'd probably regret it later. But do now this is what I wanted. My arms flew around his Mel and I felt him bend down more. He pulled me up into his arms as I wrapped my legs around his waist. Damn was this good. He tasted like honey. He layed me down on the bed crawling on top of me. But somehow never breaking the kiss.
