Chapter 2
"Maya," i breathe out timidly.
"Em, i think we need to talk," she says.
"Ok. We can talk, but my shift doesn't end for another 2 hours. Do you mind waiting?" i hope she says she can wait because i need her to know that i didn't cheat on her, so that it can help ease my mind.
she pauses for a moment, as if in deep thought before she nods her head in agreement. I tell her to take a seat at the bar while she waits, and i also make her a martini on the house.
The next two hours consisted of me stealing glances at Maya while attending to my other customers. Her eyes had been watching me intently the entire time, and i couldn't help but smile a little.
After my shift i decided to bring out a couple plates of tacos because i knew she was hungry, and i was starved. I hadn't had anything to drink since Maya arrived, and i realized my appetite for food had come back. I didn't want Maya to see me drunk, but i was starting to go through withdrawals. Before i brought out the tacos i downed a few shots of tequila to fill my need, but not enough that would be noticeable. When i got back to the table Maya was sitting at, she was on the phone, smiling, and laughing. I lowered my head and frowned a little. Its hard knowing that she can be fine and move on after all these year while I'm stuck wasting away in my own self pity. At least i know she is happy. After a few minutes she hangs up the phone.
"So what brings you here, back to Rosewood?" i ask her, curious as to why she is in my bar.
"well I was in the area for one of my art shows, and i decided i should catch up with old friends. I haven't been back here since high school, and i decided that now was a good time."
Friend. She just called me an old friend. I don't know what i should say, and my heart beating outside my ears doesn't help my case.
i open my mouth to speak, but before i can say anything, she continues.
"Listen Em, i know we didn't leave things in a good way, but i was hoping that you would attend my wedding in the fall."
My eyes were now wide and attentive with surprise. Fall was 2 weeks away. She will be getting married in 2 weeks, to a man, and i have to go, and watch the love of my life marry the love of her life. Then it hit me. How hadn't i noticed it before. The diamond ring was in plain sight on her finger, she had a mysterious glow, and she hadn't touched any of the martini i set out for her. I was suddenly hit with realization.
"Maya, are you pregnant?"
A/N sorry for the short chapter but it was necessary for what is to come next. Anyway, i hope you are like my story.
