Three months later
Putting the last of my items in the box on my desk Claire enters my office
"I really wish you weren't leaving" she says flopping down on the chair opposite my desk
"It's not like I'm leaving town, I'm just changing careers" I say putting the box on floor and sitting in my chair
"Yeah but I work too much and I won't get to see you" she says sighing
"I'll miss you too Claire bear" I say smiling at her
"Excited for this weekend?" she asks
"Nope" I reply picking at a thread on my jacket
"Have you spoken to him?" she asks softly
"Nope" I say again "I must have gone to dial his number a hundred times, but I always chicken out at the last second"
"Maybe he won't be there" she says hopefully
"Doubtful, plus I'm going to have to figure this shit out eventually" I reply
"When do you leave?" she asks
Looking at my watch "I'm being picked up in an hour, so I better get going" I say standing up wrapping my arms around Claire "I promise we will still see each other" I tell her
"We better" she says pulling away
I grab the box off the floor and we walk out to my car, putting the box in the boot Claire gives me another hug "Good luck this weekend, let me know how it goes" she says
"Yeah I will" I say climbing into my car, waving goodbye I pull out of the lot and start heading home.
Pulling up at my apartment I grab my work stuff out of the boot and head upto my apartment, I am barely inside for five minutes when there is a knock at my door, checking the peephole and opening the door
"Hey Gabriel" I say warmly inviting him inside "I'm almost ready"
"It's okay Miss Baker, whenever you are ready" he says closing the door behind him
Heading into my bedroom I throw a few more things into my open suitcase, closing it I grab my handbag off the bed and head back out to Gabriel "All ready" I say smiling, we head out to the SUV parked outside and Gabriel loads my suitcase into the boot and I climb into the backseat pulling my phone out I text Em
'Leaving now, see you in a few hours'
She quickly responds 'can't wait to see you'
A couple of hours later I'm pulling up to the Galindo holiday house in Cabo, climbing out of the car I head inside, Emily and Miguel are sitting outside
"Hey strangers" I say walking out and wrapping my arms around Em from behind
"Hey yourself" she says hugging my arms "Wine?"
"I'm okay" I say taking a seat
"How was your trip?" Miguel asks me
"Perfect as always" I respond smiling
"How are you going? How was your last day at work?" Em asks me
"It was good, Claire didn't want me to leave" I say "But I'm excited to start this new chapter"
"Well, just make sure you remember us when you become a big famous author" Emily says laughing
"How could I ever forget you?" I say laughing
We sit outside catching up, before I know it I'm exhausted, yawning I stretch "I think I'm going to have to call it a night" I say standing up, kissing both Emily and Miguel I say goodnight and head down to my room.
After having the hottest shower I can stand I pull on my pajamas climbing under the covers, I lay in the dark but sleep doesn't come.
Rolling over I check the time it's a little after 2am, sighing I get out of bed and head up to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge, I start to walk outside, heading down the stairs and onto the beach.
I can see a light pooling out of one of the bedroom windows, looking up I turn around and head back inside. Walking down the corridor, I stop outside the room responsible for the light knocking on the door gently, the door swings open and Nestor is standing there in just his pajama pants, a light sweat glistening over his chest
"Hey" I say softly
He just stares at me, his eyes hard
"Can we talk?" I ask
Moving out of the doorway Nestor holds the door open and I walk in to his room, his room is a mirror image of mine except his window has a large window seat. Moving over there I sit down watching the beach outside, the moon illuminating the whole beach. Resting my head against the window I can feel Nestor watching me but he doesn't say anything as he sits down in the armchair on the other side of the room
"I owe you an apology" I say taking a deep breath before continuing "I haven't been fair to you, and I'm sorry" resting my head against the wall and closing my eyes i continue
"I was scared, when you were in Iraq and you didn't reply to me for six weeks, it terrified me, and then when you came home and took this job with Miguel, it killed me, it was like you had forgotten about all our plans and I knew that I would constantly have that pit of dread in my stomach everytime you walked out the door, and I know this doesn't excuse my shitty behaviour but" I trail off rubbing my temples "I was so in love with you and I was terrified of losing you before I even had you"
"I know I'm insufferable, stubborn and generally just a pain in the ass, I fly off the handle at the drop of a hat and I'm over emotional but I'm hoping that maybe you can forgive me and we can start again? I would really like to be friends" I say turning to face him
Nestor doesn't respond, his eyes are weary watching me "I truly am sorry" I say standing up walking out of his room and back to mine.
