Bellatrix

It's been ten years and a lot has happened.

We kind of lost touch with each other, I mean, we're still friends on social media and we still talk, but, we haven't seen each other, all in the same space, in a long,long time.

Olivia and Chris have two kids now and both of them are happy as they can be and I'm truly glad to witness it every single day, since we live really close to each other.

Richard moved to New York about five years ago and he finally settled down and formed his little family.

The same goes with Erick, my boy got married four years ago and that was probably the last time I saw him.

Joel got himself a girlfriend when he moved to LA due to a job offer and Nicole is really nice and sweet and I can tell that she makes Joel really happy.

Zabdiel is the only one that I don't know what he is up to.

On the night of Olivia's wedding, we got drunk and kissed and almost ended up in my hotel room, but I pushed him back. It's weird how back then I didn't felt a thing, but over the years I've been overthinking it and I can't help but wonder, what if I didn't stop him? What if we got carried on and I started to feel things for him again? But I could never find it out now, we stopped talking months after that.

Today was Cesar's first day on first grade , I just can't believe my baby boy is going to school.

It's been really hard doing this parenting thing all by myself, while I still had to go to work and keep up with my son.

'Promise mommy you'll behave and you'll be nice to other kids'

'I promise mommy' I looked at my 6 year old and gave him a big hug

'Now go and make friends' he just nodded and kissed my cheek

'Bye mommy 'I watched as he walked to the entrance and started to talk to a little girl, probably the same age as him.

I was so lost in watching my baby disappearing in front of me that I didnt notice some beside me.

'It looks like our kids are going to be friends' That voice... I could swear I've heard it before. I turned to my left and it felt like my stomach and my heart, all fell to the floor.

'Bella?' I felt a million things in my body and my mind could stop for a minute. I just couldn't believe that after 10 years I would be seen Zabdiel, right in front of my eyes.

'Zabdiel...' I was in shock, and as much as I wanted to speak, I just couldn't

'It's been years, how are you?' I just stood there looking at him. My eyes examined every inch of him, but one thing caught my attention.  He still had that necklace on.

'I'm good, and you?' This small talk was giving me anxiety or maybe he was giving me anxiety,  I don't know anything anymore

He noticed that I saw the necklace, and his posture changed immediately

' We should go for a coffee or something, so we could catch up' I looked at him and just nodded.

•••

'That's typical of you, making a boy falling in love with you like that' this was the part of the conversation where it got weird. I knew he was talking about him as well. I examined him again, and I couldn't stop looking at that necklace

'I never took it off' I looked back at him and million of questions wandered around my head

'Why?'

'Because, eventhough we weren't together anymore, eventhough what we had was cut short. I felt things for you I never felt before, you made me feel pure in every way that it can be. I just couldn't take it off'

I didn't said a word. I just started to feel a cold feeling in my stomach and I freaking knew what it meant.

'I've been thinking a lot about that night on Chris' wedding, and what might have happened if you didn't pushed me back' I furrowed my brows as I heard him

'I've been thinking the same' I know this is going to sound weird, predictable and lame, but I think I might be feeling some type of way towards him

'Bella, can I ask you something?' I just nodded my head as he adjusted in his position ' Can we try it all over again?'

For a moment I felt like everything froze in place and I just looked at him in the eyes as I nodded.

As I said that day back at his apartment when I went to give him the box with that forgotten necklace in it.

The world takes many turns, and we didn't knew if our paths would cross back like that again. Turns out I was right, and right now, giving this a chance,  felt like the right thing to do.

'I think we can give this thing a chance' a smile appeared on his lips and his hand touched mine, lightly.

'Just don't lose your memory this time, please'

I laughed at his comment and I started to hit him, playfully.

I just hope I don't lose anything this time.
