Star Crossed
Chapter 18
"I'm Sorry" James said out of the blue.
We had been laying in my hotel bed for what seemed like forever, around 4 hours to be exact. I was resting on his chest as it rose and fell softly. I traced the many outlines filled with color on his arm, my finger redrawing each of his tattoos, admiring them.
"For what?" I asked as he ran his hand through my hand over and over, like a pattern.
"Being an ass" He smiled down at me, kissing the top of my head where his hand had just been running down my hair.
"Alright?" I said laughing to myself.
"When we were together, engaged." He added simply as if knowing that I had no idea what he was talking about.
"Well you've gotten better" I laughed intertwining my fingers with his.
"But that doesn't change anything in the past," He sighed, "Maybe if I hadn't been such an ass, and realized you're the best part of my life, You wouldn't have left me"
I sighed, knowing that was the reason.
"Well I was pretty bad for leaving you" I said simply.
"I waited for you, and I waited, and I waited, and I waited, But then I realized you were never coming back," He laughed, "I thought maybe you still loved me, I knew you probably still did. But you never did anything about it, You could have come back so many times, I wanted you to, But you never did."
I listened to his every word, seeming sadder and sadder with every syllable. His tone of voice itself upset me, making me regret ever leaving him in the first place. But it needed to happen. It had to happen back then. There was no other way to get him to change.
"Well I'm coming back now," I said turning to face him, taking his face in my hands, "And it's the best choice I could ever make."
I kissed James softly, him wanting more, me wanting to sleep.
"Savannah?" James asked simply,
"Hm?" I hummed as I placed my head back on his chest where it was before, trying to drift off to sleep.
"Will you marry me?" He asked his voice tired, "But Let's actually do it this time," He laughed to himself.
I had no idea what to say. Yes? No? I couldn't say no. But I couldn't say yes. I loved James, No doubt about it. I just didn't know exactly how much as of right now. He had changed. That was all I could ask of him. I wanted nothing more. That was why I left him after all. But this was the one thing He had asked of me. To marry him. My thoughts were racing. I could do this for Jake. Make both him and James happy. But would it make me happy? James was a lot of things, some good some bad. But was he a husband? I wondered that about him as a father and he's done an amazing job. Maybe I was just thinking too much. But there were so many factors to carry into this situation.
Some that James had no idea about.
