Now or Never

Out of nowhere, David asked me out for dinner. I thought about say no, but after that gift, I couldn't…. He took me to Outback, he knew it was my favorite place…. We ate a lot, shared a dessert (they're so huge) and we were talking for a while after eating. Then, he became serious...

"Anne, I brought you here because I want to have a serious talk with you.

I was a little scared... When Dave got that serious, I shouldn't expect anything good.

"I need to know something…. I need to know if you want to be with me."

I was paralyzed. I did not see that coming.

"Why are you telling me this now, David?"

"I need to know, Anne. I like you, you know that. I regret the way I treated you, and I just can't stand seeing you with somebody else, I want you! I need you to tell me now if you're willing to be with me."

"Why this now, Dave?"

"Just answer me…"

I didn't know what to say, he caught me off guard... I decided not to listen my heart... I needed to be reasonable...

"No, David. I choose to be with Kyle, and I'm gonna stay with him… We had our chance. We are back to being just friends... that's what we are now."

"Are you sure?"

It took me a while to answer. We were starting at each other….

"Yes, I am."

Before we leave, and I went to the bathroom on the way out. We hardly speak to each other on the way back. When we got home, he gave me a long kiss on the cheek, and didn't say anything.

When I got into my room, I opened my bag to get my cell, and something fell from it, and it said "Outback". I got it, it was a coaster... weird. I turned it around, there was something written on it...

"Sis, never forget how much I like you."

Impossible to forget... David surprised me everyday, but I was not sure yet if he had really changed, or if was just desperate attitudes of regret… I'm not sure why, but I couldn't be sure about his feelings towards me, often I had a feeling that he, as me, could be mixing love between friends with that crazy passion….
But I confess, those little treats made me feel good, and although I had decided not to be with him, everyday I was waiting for a new treat...

Oddly, for the following 3 weeks David didn't even called...

Even my mom was missing him, and asked me where he had been… I said he was probably busy with the CD, and she agreed…

"It must be it then, last time he was here he got a phone call from his agent, and he had to hurry."

And she went on:

"I was thinking about making dinner tomorrow, inviting him and Andrew…. I miss those boys..."

I wasn't sure we would come, but still I was wearing my best perfume and a nice dress… we all sat at the table, Kyle, my mom, my dad, Matt and me, I was checking the clock all the time... finally the door bell...
Andrew came in with the usual playful look on his face, said hello to my parents and seemed surprised to see Kyle, htey hadn't been introduced... my mom asked the question:

"Where is your brother?"

"He's just locking the car..." he said.

I looked at the driveway, David was coming, and holding hands with her….
My stomach hurt, there was a lump in my throat, it wasn't jealousy (ok, maybe it was), I was outraged, after everything he said and done, how could he be back with her, David really surprised me, and the surprise of the day was:

He was in a serious relationship with her.

Guys, I didn't post for the last days becuase I'm working more on the other fic (David's version), because doth of them should be around the same level (I don't know if this is the right word to use, but whatever), so I'm gonna update the other one more often for now. The link is .net/s/7733962/

and, I'm gonna be away for the weekend, so I'll only post on Monday, okay?
