Chapter Twenty-Three

Its been two months since I left that night from the hotel. Not a single word from AJ and as you can imagine I was going out of my mind.

Megan and I patched things up and so did her and Nick. Which confused me more about why AJ hasnt even called.

It was a Saturday, late afternoon. I decided that the mall sounded like a nice place to visit. I grabbed my purse and car keys and drove to the mall. When I got into the mall, I immediatly started looking at sunglasses, it was after all, May. The sun was bright and the air was warm.

As I looked in the little mirror to see if I liked the sunglasses on me, in the reflection was AJ! I turned around and saw about five feet away from me, AJ with his arm around another girl. I felt my heart breaking. He found someone new. My worst nightmare just came true.

I tried my best to fight back the tears, when someone bumped into me.

I looked up quickly and saw a BIG guy standing before me.

"Sorry," I said even though it wasnt my fault. The guy just walked off and when I returned my focus on AJ, he was looking at me. I didnt know what to do. I mean there he was with his arms around another girl. You can imagine my jealousy right now. AJ whispered something to the girl and walked over to me.

I suddenly started to feel very nervous. What was he going to say?

"Hi Melissa," he said softly. I wanted so badly just to kiss him, but I cant.

"Hi AJ. How are you?" I asked, nervous.

"Better, and you?" he asked almost bitter. I didnt care where I was at this point.

"AJ, I miss you like crazy. I want you back so bad," I cried.

"AJ, will you buy me this?" the girl asked coming up to him.

AJ looked at me and then at the girl, then back at me. I just wanted him to forgive me and hold me and kiss me.

AJ walked closer to me, pulled me close and kissed me. I felt someone in one of those trashy romance novels, but I didnt care. AJ made me feel good and let me tell you, it felt good to be back in his arms.

When he pulled away, I looked at him shocked.

"I love you Melissa," he whispered and kissed me again.

Later~

"You didnt you know, have sex with her did you?" I asked AJ as we were laying in bed next to each other.

"Melissa, you know I wouldnt do that," AJ said and kissed me.

He was my soulmate and I knew we were meant for each other. Now if only we were to get married...
