Amber

Cayden and I didn't do much more that night, I ended up telling everyone that I had a headache and went to bed.

It's currently the next morning and I'm waiting for Cayden to call so we can meet.

When he finally does, I wait a few second to answer so I don't sound like I was waiting.

"Good morning." Cayden greets me.

"Morning." I answer. "So where'd you wanna meet?"

"Well you could come here?" Cayden says but when I don't answer after a minute he clears his throat awkwardly. "Sorry, we can meet somewhere else. Wherever you want."

"No. It's fine. I'll be at your place in twenty minutes."

After getting ready, I make my way to Caydens.

I get to his building early but I don't make it to his apartment until I'm late.

I just couldn't help but remember what happened here. What started here and ended here. Everything, the good and the bad.

When I finally get to Caydens apartment, he answers the door almost straight away.

"Sorry I'm late." I tell him.

"Don't worry about it." He shakes his head.

I walk into the apartment and can't help but look around, the apartment is pretty much the same as it was when I was here, maybe a little messier but that's all.

"So.." I say.

Cayden takes a seat on the couch and signals me to do the same. I do.

"How are you feeling today?" Cayden asks.

"Better." I tell him. "I just wanna figure out the true story and then I want to forget she ever came back."

"Amb, you know she could have an explanation for this. Maybe it's more than just him."

I shake my head. "I should've searched her up on Facebook before I even met her again."

"You want her back in your life, don't let this mess that up on you."

"I'm not letting another messed up parent into my life."

Cayden takes my hand, and I look down at his hand on mine.

"I understand you don't want to do that but what if that isn't what's happening, what if this is just you getting your mom back."

"Cayden, I woke up every morning after she left and asked myself what if today was the day she'd come back, the day dad would stop acting like he was and everything would go back to when I was small. I don't do what ifs, i want to be the one to control what's going on in my life."

"Then control it. Do what you want, find out what you want, and be with who you want."

"I don't know what I want anymore."

Cayden doesn't answer but squeezes my hand.

"But, I know one thing I want." I put my other hand on Caydens face. "I want us again. I know it can go back to how it was before straight away but I want to work on it."

Cayden puts his hand on mine on his face, and gently pulls it away.

Way to go, amber. How much more pathetic can you get. You've left this too long, made too big of a deal out of it. He's over you.

I pull my other hand from his, and move further away from him on the couch.

Cayden shakes his head almost instantly. "No, I didn't mean-"

"It's fine Cayden, I understand."

"No, amber listen. I didn't do that to reject you." Cayden takes my hand again. "I want to make sure you want this, and your not just confused. It's selfish but I can't go through losing you again. So when I get you back I want it to be the real thing, not a mistake."

"I know what I want and I want you Cayden."

"And your Sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. I've never not wanted to be with you, I just couldn't."

Cayden smiles. "So your moving back in?"

"I don't know. I kind of like Naomi's place." I joke.

Cayden frowns like a baby that didn't get his way.

"I'm kidding. Yes I'm moving back in."

Cayden grins and I do too.

"It won't go back to how it used to be. But we can work on it. And we can work on my relationship with my mom too, maybe."

Cayden nods his head. "I'm not going to tell you what to do, but you deserve any family you can get."

"I have you."

"And you'll have my children too, but you deserve a family of your own."

"I'll think about it." I say. "Children? How many do you want."

"Three, maybe a football team if they look anything like you."

"If they look anything like you they'll definitely be heartbreakers."

Cayden chuckles before suddenly standing up and going down the hallway, he comes back a minute later.

He doesn't sit on the couch and instead gets on one knee. "I think you need this back now." Cayden holds up his hand with my engagement ring in it.

I smile. I take it back and put it on my ring finger.

I grin at Cayden.

"Go on then, give me a kiss." I say and Cayden does as said.

After a few minutes we're cuddling on the couch.

"So what do you want to do about your mom?"

"Let's talk about that tomorrow, I just want to be with you right now."

Cayden nods his head and starts to play with my hair.

We chill for the rest of the afternoon and by evening I'm too lazy to leave the apartment so I text Naomi to let her know I'm staying the night and I'll explain everything to her tomorrow.

She wanted to know straight away but Cayden and I had just started a movie and I didn't want to interrupt it.

I couldn't stop smiling.

Having Cayden, and my engagement ring back was perfect. I couldn't imagine anything but being with him right now.
