Germangie-Life After Kids

Chapter 19- Do You Forgive Me?

I was waiting at the table that German asked me to marry him at, just like the note said. Wearing the same dress that I wore the night German proposed, just like the note said.The same note I had recieved the night he had proposed. I don't know why he told me to come here! If this was some sort of game, it certainly wasn't fun.

I looked around at all the happy couples in the resturant. I missed that, I missed German. I missed us But I couldn't forgive him, could I?

Suddenly the lights went out and music began to play. I looked over to where it was coming from and I saw Amelia stood there with a microphone with Violetta at her side holding a bunch of flowers.

Then a spotlight came on at the other side of the resturant and I looked to my left to see German standing there. Smiling like an idiot. What was happening?

Then Amelia opened her mouth and began to sing with Violetta. Everytime We Touch. Our song. I looked back to German and smiled. He walked over to me and knelt down by my side.

"Angie. I need to tell you something and you have to listen. I love you with al my heart and I know you love me too. We were happy together until that night and after that everything seemed to fall apart. But I want you to know that I am so sorry for everything after that. And I know I have messed up and that sorry will never be enough, because I need you to forgive me. You have to or, or I don't know what I'll do!"

Tears were welling up in my eyes. I looked over to Vilu and Amelia who smiled at me. The music stopped just before the chorus and when I looked back over to German, I realised why.

Leon,Pablo and Sebastian were behind him and he was holding out his hand for mine. I took it and looked deeply into his dark brown eyes.

"Angie, I want you to know that since María died, I never thought I'd find anyone. But then I found you. You lit up my world. My life that was in the dark is now in the light whenever I am with you. When you smile, I smile. When you are happy, I am happy. When you hurt, so do I. When you were there in the hospital, everyday the pain I felt in my heart got worse and worse. I felt like I was losing María all over again. When you woke up, I was so relieved. But when I saw the look in your eyes when you saw me, I realised how much I had hurt you. It hurt me knowing that. Because every word of our song is true Angie. I feel something when we touch. When we kiss, I feel like I'm flying. You make my heart beat a million times faster everytime I see you and I want it to last forever. Because I need you Angie, not just in my life, but by my side. I need you with me for the rest of my life Angie. And I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but please Angie."

He removed his hands from mine and took the box from the boys.

Tears ran down my cheeks as he spoke.

"Please forgive me Angie, please be my wife again."

Everyone in the resturant was looking at us as he opened the box to reveal the ring I had put with the note when I left.

I was looking deeply into German's eyes as I said the words I'd wanted to say to him for a long time.

"I forgive you."
