An ordinary girl, an extraordinary boy.

Chapter 5: I'd left it a week part 1

Kier's POV

(A/N Another two/maybe three part because i have far too many brilliant ideas so late at night)

I didn't mean to hurt her honestly you have to know that before I start. It wasn't supposed to go like this I thought me and Elaine were done for good, our breakup had been brewing for a while before it actually happened. I guess I was in denial about it, looking back on it now all the signs were there. I woke up late Saturday afternoon and smiled remembering last night, Laurence and her. Anna. She was amazing we got along so well much better than Elaine and I ever did. I feel like I should explain about Elaine and me, you see we'd been friends long before we ever dated but Laurence had always had a bad feeling about her so we never got to spend too much time together but then Laurence went away to boarding school at his parents insistence and so Elaine and I spent more time together and then things progressed with us both admitting that we liked each other in that way. After a couple of months she moved in with me and then Laurence came back which I guess must have been when it started to go downhill but being the blind and lovesick idiot I am, I didn't realise until almost a year later. It turns out she had started cheating on me after our 20 month anniversary with some guy she'd met at college but it didn't work out and she came crawling back to me explaining that she'd only done it because she felt lonely when i started spending time with Laurence again and then saying she'd changed. And do you know what? I believed her, I hoped so hard for it to be true. No such luck. That afternoon before I met Anna she texted me saying she wanted to break up apparently she'd found someone else.  It genuinely seemed to be the end of us and so I let myself get close to Anna. Big mistake because when I woke up on Saturday afternoon, after a quick snack, I went to check my answering machine which was flashing indicating I had a voice message. Which turned out to be 7 voice messages all from Elaine sobbing and in tears because lover boy had broken up with her and she was begging me to take her back. I just erased all the messages, I had gotten over her and even moved on. I would have been fine leaving it there and continuing my life but she wouldn't leave me alone she kept ringing and texting saying we needed to talk, eventually I had to give in and see what exactly she wanted so I arranged to meet her at the Costa near my apartment. Arriving early I sat down in a window booth and ordered my coffee sipping on it, I settled back into to the seat scanning the late London crowds for that familiar face. Around 10 minutes later she came bursting in flushed face and out of breath, as she sat down and took off all her outer clothing I pushed her latte across the table to her before leaning back and waiting for her to start talking. She took a long gulp of her fast cooling latte and after taking a deep breath she began. "Look Kier, babe, I know I keep messing up but you've got to give us another chance I promise I'm trying to change. I'm crazy about you baby, always, you know that, you've always known that even when we were friends I only had eyes for you. So what if I've slipped up a couple of times? Everyone makes mistakes, it's human nature all I can do about it is learn from those mistakes which I have. You understand don't you? Baby please tell me we can have another go. For me? For us?" She burst out this huge speech and all I could do was sit there stunned she really looks upset by all this and I do love her if course I do but can I forgive her do this again? Of course I can or at least I can try. "Elaine of course we can try again I still love you and it's hard not to remember that so we can give it another go everyone deserves a second chance right?" I told her a hopeful smile on my face, her entire face lit up with relief and excitement. "Oh thank you baby thank you so much you won't regret this I promise anywhoo I could only get a quick break to do this, we'll have to meet up to go to the club sometime yeah? Yeah ciao baby." She said to me standing up and grabbing her coat and latte before leaning down to give me a quick peck on the lips and sauntering out of the coffee shop. I was stunned did that just happen I shook my head and tried to ignore the gnawing feeling in my stomach.
