I sighed impatiently three weeks after my Earth shattering heartbreak. The photographer at Entertainment Today was behind schedule, so I was seated in a worn out chair in the lobby. I figured I might as well get used to it. I'd be doing many more photo shoots since I'd decided to renew my acting contract whenever it finally did expire. I now had no reason or motivation to wanna lead a normal life.
I picked up my latte and sipped at it as I flipped through the current issue of Entertainment Today that was on the glass table. I glanced up and saw someone enter the lobby. I really do believe my heart skipped a beat; that I stopped breathing for a moment.
Nick strolled in. Looking calm. Casual. And unchanged, like he hadn't broken up with someone he had told just three weeks ago he loved. He saw me and I didn't wait for a reaction, I turned my attention back to the magazine I was reading. He went and sat diagonally from me across the glass table. I felt his eyes stare at me and watch me as I turned the pages. I refused to look up until I saw him get up and leave out of the corner of my eye. It was sort of a relief but it felt like I was watching him fade from my life again.
"I've been thinking about you," I heard Nick's voice whisper, tickling my ear.
I looked over and we were nose to nose. He had came and sat next to me with a soda in his hand. I quickly looked away.
Nick sighed, "I know you don't want to be around me, but I can't get you out of my mind." Nick reached for my hand and held it carefully in his, "I was really surprised to see you here. I'm glad I did though." He waited for a response. When he didn't he continued, "You don't have to answer me. But, I do want you to know that in spite of everything, I still love you. I always will." He stood up and looked at me, began to say something but stopped himself and turned around to leave.
"I love you too," I choked out, barely making a whisper.
I didn't think he heard me, but he turned around,
"You do?"
"I've been thinking about you," I said, "And I've wishing I was with you..." My voice cut out and tears rushed down my face.
Nick knelt down and wiped away one of my tears. He leaned in and kissed me softly then pulled away. "I think we need to talk."
I nodded. We both went to reschedule our appointments with the magazine. We walked out of the building and Nick stopped and said, "In three weeks without you, I learned something more important than anything I've ever learned. I learned that I can't live without you."
