Forever Mine

Chapter Twenty-Six

Sara.

Being back in Bangor gives me a breath of fresh air. Its as if when we left Farmington I just was able to almost let go of everything that had happened and what I was worrying about. I walk into my apartment and just smile that I am home. Hadin walks over to my bedroom as I turn on the lights in the kitchen looking around for something to make for dinner. Hadin walks over to me grabbing me by the waist.

Ill cook tonight. He states.

Okay. I smile. I was just grabbing wine. I tell him as I reach for a wine glass and the bottle of wine in the cupboard above the sink. I pour myself a full glass of wine. I walk over to my couch that is back to the kitchen. I sit down and look over at him taking out steaks from my freezer and placing them on the flattop stove. I smile watching him being in his own space.

What are you smiling at? he asks me.

I know its going to sound weird but being here instead of Farmington, I just feel like Im a different person. That I can breathe batter. I tell him.

No I get it. Its like you started over here. He says. Im happy you did. He adds.

I just wish I would have started over here with you. I tell him.

I know. But hey, we are here together right now, right? He states.

Yes. I smile drinking more of my wine. Are you worried? I ask him.

About? He asks.

James, Paige said she told him were you where and why you left Ireland. I say.

I will handle it. He states. I know that means to drop this conversation.

You look good in a kitchen. I state. He laughs. Actually really hot. I add as I drink more of my wine.

Are you trying to give me a compliment or just trying to get me into bed with you? He asks me.

Thats your call. Whatever you think Im trying to do Ill agree with. I laugh. I groan. I have to go back to work tomorrow. He laughs.

I know the feeling. My Uncle Luke wants me to go to the new office here. He tells me.

Right he wants you to be the CEO of James Productions in Bangor. I tease. How do you feel about that? I ask him.

Honestly, Its a little overwhelming. He admits. knowing that he trusts me with running his company from here by myself though, he must see something in me I dont He tells me.

I see it. You are amazing, you know your stuff even if you try to act like you dont. I tell him.

I dont like talking to you. You make me feel like I can do anything. He teases.

Well if you set your mind to it. You can. I say. He smiles at me and continues to cook the steak. I turn around grabbing my remote and turning on TV. I turn on TNT and watch the reruns of Charmed. I listen to Hadin telling me how stupid this show is and that he doesnt understand my fascination with it.

Every episode is the same. He tells me.

Not really. But this was the one thing my mom and I could watch together. Without argument for one hour on Sundays we just sat down ate dinner and watch Charmed. We would have something to talk about for days after. I would tell her what I thought would happen next Sunday. It was nice. I tell him.

Im sorry. He says.

its fine. I smile. Its a good memory. I tell him as he brings over two plates with steak, mac and cheese and corn on it. He hands me the plate and sits beside me
