Lost After Midnight

                          ~Adriel's POV~

      I sit back in my seat, trying to just focus on the music and not the I've been waiting in this parking lot for about then minutes now, waiting for Amor to come out. Nina told me where she worked the last night when I told her we were gonna go to dinner, I actually just want to apologize.  
     Horribly, I treated her like an object and I didn't mean for that. I also made it seem like her emotions didn't mean anything to me when they mean everything. How is it possible to still be so head over "heels" for someone when you hadn't seen them for three years?
    She's happy with Luz. She deserves someone who can be there for her all the time and treat her how she deserves. My anger kept me from treating her right all the time and I can't always be there. I might be across the world when she needs me most. She can't have a guaranteed future with me, yet I'm selfish enough to still want that.
     I don't want to put her in the position where she has to choose between him and me; that's just immature and unfair to her. Obviously, she would pick him in a heartbeat over me. I just want to prove to her that I'm not a total jackass. I made her feel like I was three years ago and I just made her feel like I am yesterday.
     The main doors open and she finally walks out, looking very exhausted, but professional. I get out, taking a deep breath. She makes me feel like I'm the one with the anxiety issues. Once I'm closer. She notices me once I'm close enough to her. She visibly tenses, wrapping her arms around herself while holding her bag.
     "Hey," I say, giving their no time for uncomfortable silence.
    "How did you know where I work?"
    "Nina told me last night," I answer. She sighs, shaking her head. "I didn't come here to make you feel uncomfortable again like yesterday, just to apologize."
     "Apology accepted," she says. "Now I think you should go."
     "Wait listen," I say. She looks around us anxiously. "I don't ever want to make you feel like your emotions don't matter to me, because they're everything. I'm sorry I made you feel like I didn't care. I just thought-The letters made me feel like maybe there was a second chance for us. I see now that there isn't and I'm sorry."
      Her eyes search mine, eyes sad. The sound of someone walking up makes us both turn. Well shit. "Sorry I'm late," Luz says, Kissing her temple. He turns his attention to me. Surprise washing over his face. "Adriel."
     "Luz," is all I say, forcing a smile. "I was just leaving, so-"
    "Wait," she says, stopping me from turning around. She looks up at him. "Let me finish this real fast and I'll be back." He nods, letting go of her hand. She follows me to my car. "You didn't make me feel like my emotions were nothing; you've always done the complete opposite. Thank you for apologizing. In those letters, I did love you still, and-and maybe I still do in some ways, but it's different now."
    I nod, licking my lips. "Well now that that's out of the way, do you want to go to dinner with me tonight? I kind of told Nina that we were gonna go to dinner, that's how I hit you work place. If you don't, it's totally fine. You probably have plans with hot therapist."
     She chuckles, looking back at him. "I don't actually, so yeah," she says. My eyes widen in surprise. I wasn't expecting her to come. "Pick me up in about an hour." She takes a paper out of her purse with a pencil and wrote something on it using my car for a surface. "This is my address." I take the paper and open my car door.
    "I'll be there."
