Amber and I are walking around the mall buying some new clothes, shoes, and some dance clothes at my favorite dance store. I used to love being here looking at the clothes and other dance accessories. It was always a safe haven for me and still is.
"How about we take a break and head to the food court", Amber asks as we walk out of the store.
I nod, "Yeah, that sounds good to me", I agree with her smiling.
We start walking and I look in the windows of every shop we pass. I can see a lot of cute things but I don't want to waste all my money. I think after the food court I'm done for today. I have too many bags as it is and my hands are starting to hurt a lot. After waiting in line, I order my food and take my seat next to Amber once it's ready.
"Today was a good day", Amber says sipping her soda.
I nod swallowing my food before talking, "Yeah, I have to agree. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun shopping", I say sadly.
Amber smiles, "Right, so what's next", she asks excitedly.
I hum, "How about we pick up ice cream and have a movie night", I ask her.
She looks thoughtful for a moment, "Yeah, that sound good to me", she agrees.
We continue eating and talking and when I am close to being done I hear my name being called. I look at a very pissed Amber and follow her gaze. My face drops along with my mood. I turn back to my food ignoring them. I am not going to give them any of my time, they don't deserve it.
"Amber, Niykee", the voice comes from the table next to us.
"Leave! You are messing up a good day", Amber hisses.
"How are we messing up a good day? All we are doing is coming to say 'hi' and see how you guys are doing", Candy says.
I roll my eyes, "We are fine, you can leave now", Amber snaps.
"Niykee", I hear Jay say but I don't look at him. Jay and I used to go but everything is over now.
"Niykee, can I talk to you", I finally look up at him. He looks the same as always; tall, built and those blue eyes that I used to love, "Please, it will only be a minute", he pleads with me.
Sighing I decide to answer him, "You've got five minutes"
"Can I talk to you alone", he asks. I look at Amber and she shrugs. I know she is letting me decide but her eyes say 'no'.
"Fine, but you only have three minutes", I stand up and walk to the side of the food court.
I turn to look at him with my arms crossed over my chest and glare at him. He looks nervous looking around the food court and then back to me, "How come you never told me", he asks looking hurt.
I shake my head and give a bitter laugh, "I shouldn't have to tell you, you were my boyfriend at the time. It was written all over me but the only one who was smart enough to act on it was Amber", I hiss.
"I was going to ask but then you started pushing me way. What was I supposed to do", he asks stepping closer.
I feel my anger rise, "That's a fucking lame excuse. I tried pushing Amber away but she wouldn't back down but you did and that hurt. Even though I was pushing you away I wanted you to do what she did but you never did", I feel my eyes water but I shake my head at him looking away, "I don't have time for this", I start walking away but his hand shots out to stop me. I rip my hand away but stop walking.
"I want to make things right. I still love you", he says softly stepping closer and wrapping his arms around me.
I shake my head and push him away, "It's too late, I found someone else and unlike you when he found out what was happening to me he manned up and helped me. He didn't stop until he knew I was going to be safe but you, you gave up", I can feel the tears run down my cheeks but I don't wipe them away. I look at him and he has tears in his eyes too, "He has a willing heart that is helping me move on from all this and that's what you need to do Jay too, move on", I turn around and walk back to Amber.
When I reach the table I grab all my bags and then look at Amber when I have everything, "You ready", I ask her.
She nods grabbing her bags. Once she is done we start walking away. I take one last look at Jay. It's braking my heart to see him look so broken but I don't love him anymore. I'm head over heels in love with Dom.
"Are you okay", Amber asks once we get in the car.
I nod, "Yeah, he's stupid if he thinks he can win me back", shaking my head I put my seat-belt on.
"He tried to 'win' you back", she asks shocked.
I nod my head, "Yeah, but I told him to shove it because I am in love with Dom"
"Ouch, that's got to hurt", she says grimacing.
"I mean what did he expect; that I was going to run back into his arms", I ask throwing my arms in the air, "And Dom is so much better than him because even though I tried to push him away he didn't give up until he knew I was safe", I say looking out of the window.
She nods looking at the road, "I understand where you are coming from. If Jay truly loved you then he wouldn't have walked away so easily. I can see it in Dom's eyes when he looks at you that he is one hundred percent in love with you"
I smile, "He is, isn't he", I say smiling, "I can't believe how lucky I am to have him and I really do love him. He won my heart from the start then swiped me off my feet", I look at Amber smiling and she returns it.
"I'm glad you found someone who makes you happy through all this. You were able to keep your head straight even with the road bumps. You overcame the biggest challenge in your life and was able see past the dark into the light", I look at her in shock from her words.
"When did you become so wise", I ask teasingly.
She slaps my arm and I laugh, "I've always been wise, I just never show it", we laugh and continue on our journey home. I just want to lay under the covers and watch movies with my girl.
