Are You Sure?

*Jonathan’s POV*
“Jonathan who’s this?”, Brittany asked holding up a picture of me and my ex-girlfriend Tatum. A million memories came back and I couldn’t say anything.
“I’m sorry Jonathan, but I can’t do this anymore. Were going complete different directions I’m going back to school to get my life together and you-” I stopped her.
“I’m what? What Tatum?”
“Your entering into the highlight of your career Jon, I love you but I can’t be with you.” Her words stung and we were both crying.
“Tatum please we can work this out we have to work this out.”
“Jonathan no we can’t fix this, I need to be on my own. I can’t be in a relationship right now, I am so sorry Jon. I love you.”
Tears were coming to my eyes. “Jonathan?”
“Sorry, what?” I ask, and she looks a little pissed.
“Who is this?” she asks again.
“This girl from high school,”, was all that came out, but she was so much more. “The wedding invitation we got today was for her mom actually, come on though we better get going or were going to be late for dinner with the guys.” We walk out of my apartment and down to the garage and into my truck. We get there and most of the team is already there, I go sit by Kaner and Brittany goes and sits by Bickell’s wife Amanda.
“Hey Jonny!” he yells.
“Hey Kaner!” I yell back. His face went completely blank and I got confused until I saw what he was looking at, it was Tatum.
*Tatum’s POV*
“Tatum wear this, my best friend Mackenzie says. It was a red and white crop top with a black skirt.
“Okay.”
“Let’s go”, she says and we headed out the door and were on our way to the restaurant. We were seated fairly quickly for being at a very fancy place, “reservation’s really help”, she adds and we laugh. And we both order a wine, I was looking around the room when my eyes landed on the one and only Patrick Kane, and then I look next to him to see Jonathan look at me and so many memories came flooding back.
“Jonathan stop, stop it”, I laughed.
“Why would I stop when I can get what I want this way?”, he smiles and keeps tickling me.
“What do you want Jonny?”
“I want you to go out with me?”, he stops tickling me and pulls me so I’m sitting next to him.
“Seriously Jon, what do you want?”, I laugh.
“I want you to go out with me”, his face went still and I knew he was serious.
“I would love too, really but if this happens to be a joke I will hate you forever.” He crashed his lips on mine and before I knew it, we were in a full make-out session. “So your serious?”, I ask and he laughs.
“Yes Tay, I’m serious.”
“Mackenzie I’m going to go get some air, okay?”, I ask nervously. She looks over at me and sees what I’m looking at.
“Yeah see you in a little while.” I quickly walk outside and try to get him out of my mind. I haven’t see him since I went back to Winnipeg after we broke up three years ago. I was interrupted in my thoughts, when Patrick yells my name.
“Tatum! Tatum!”
“Go away Patrick, I can’t do this right now.” I say as a few tears drip down my face, and he pulls me into a hug. “Pat I can’t do this.”
“You didn’t tell me you were in Chicago”, he whispers.
“I didn’t want you to know, I was just here to visit Mackenzie.”
“Why not?”
“I din’t want to bother you.”
“You’ll never be a bother, and we got the invitations today. Me and Jon.”
“I got to go.”
“You’re still wearing the ring”, he says and I look down.
“I leave back to Winnipeg in six hours and I still need to pack.” I say and head back in leaving him in the parking lot.
The rest of the evening I avoided all eye contact with the team and before I new it I was on a plane back to Winnipeg.
