~Mila~

Caleb takes in a huge breath for the thousandth time today and finally meets my eyes.

"You'll hate me after this" he says with his face screaming the please part. 

"I'll never hate you. I love you, okay? Now tell me what is it" I assure him and scoot closer to him on the couch. He nods and opens his mouth to say when his phone beeps with an annoying 'beep' making him cuss out loud. 

"Sorry" he quickly apologizes and checks his phone only to repeat his earlier action once more. Now I am getting terrified of what he is going to tell me. I mean, it cannot be that bad, can it?

"Mila I-" he begins but shakes his head in dismissal. "Gosh I can't" he says and gets up from the couch. He groans as he rubs his face and runs his fingers through his thick brown hair. 

"Caleb, tell me. What is it?" I urge for him to continue. 

"You'll hate me" he repeats and I grow frustrated this time.

"How would I know if you won't tell me?" I say looking up at him as we both stand in the middle of Aaron's apartment. He sighs, probably getting it that he should tell me. 

"I have to move to Italy" he says all of a sudden catching me off guard. And then, as if he regrets saying this, his face changes to the most 'sorry' expression I've ever seen. 

"Wow, um, I wasn't expecting that" I say not knowing what else to say and I'm pretty sure it hasn't sank in yet. Caleb moving to Italy... well that's far. 

"I've got a week and I don't want to go" he says moving closer to me. "It's just um, it's a great new offer and my boss, Jeremy, thinks I should go and-" I cut off his rambling. 
"What do you want, Caleb?" I ask him, running my hand up and down his arms in a way to calm him down. 

"I don't know Mils, I don't. If I go, I'll get to work with Gucci and other big ass brands. It has been by dream but-"

"But?" 

"Now I have you, I don't want to go" He says making the emotional me burst out loud. The waterworks will be up soon. 

"Caleb, I love you" I say. 

"I love you too, Mils" he says cupping the side of my cheek and as much as I want to lean in to his touch and kiss him, I know what I have to do. 

"But Gucci needs you" I attempt to smile but I know I'm failing miserably. 

"It's three years. The contract, it's gonna last three years" he says making my emotional side to completely take over. I take in a breath and do my best to keep myself calm. 

"It's okay. Get your dreams, Caleb" I say, brushing his fine jawline with the pad of my thumb. He stares at me with those lovely set of eyes and I am once again remembered why I fell in love with this amazing man standing in front of me. 

Maybe I'll cry tonight, but there's a saying. If you love someone, you let them go. And I am.
