Here you go folks, it might be a little rough but I wanted to get more out before I may have to take a small break for a class project. this chapter was a little difficult and I think you may see why. I hope you enjoy.

Kuvira pulled out her keys as she reached the door to the apartment, gym bag slung over her shoulder, hair in her signature braid, and sweat beading across her brow. She swung the door closed behind her and headed to her room. She dropped the bag on her bed and grabbed her water bottle and headed to the kitchen. As she was filling it in the sink she heard a Opal's door open and footsteps pad down the hallway towards her. Kuvira cut the water and placed the water bottle on the counter beside her. She knew Opal was behind her but she hadn't said anything yet. Kuvira took a deep breath and exhaled sharply bracing herself before turning around. Opal stood at the entrance to the kitchen her hands clenched into fists; glaring into Kuvira's eyes so hard it almost gave Kuvira a headache.

"I can not believe you." Opal said barely contained anger welling to the surface.

"Hm? About what?" Kuvira smirked goading her sister.

"Grrrrraaaaagh! Why do you have to do that!, why do you have to make everything so difficult!." Opal screamed stomping a foot for affect. Kuvira put her hands up to brace for an attack but Opal just stood there huffing. "Do you think about what you're doing at all, you lied to me and used one of my friends to get laid! That's not even taking into account that you know Korra is in a sensitive position and you still did that." Kuvira was looking at Opal with a raised eyebrow with an arched eyebrow and her head cocked to the side. Kuvira couldn't say she was surprised, she figured Opal's boyfriend Bo-something would have ratted on them, but she admittedly didn't have a plan for this inevitable outcome.

"Okay, Okay I did lie to you about going into the University, and I did go hang out with Korra… and I did stay the night in her room, I'm sorry but nothing serious happened."

"Oh that's all, just those things, all of them? What about quote unquote Macking, on Korra, I mean how many things do you normally need to apologize for in under 12 hours Kuvira?"

"Alright that's a little harsh Ope" Kuvira said grabbing her water bottle and attempting to walk by Opal but Opal blacked her.

"You aren't just walking away and brushing this off, peoples feelings aren't your play things." Opal said staring Kuvira straight in the eyes. Kuvira was a little taken back by her comment.

"What do you mean by that? I'm not playing with anyone's feelings or manipulating anyone." Kuvira said taking a step back, feeling like her legs had jus been swept out from under her.

'Aren't you always? What is all this about?, you just wanted your own gratification at Korra's expense, while you knew her ex was over here crying her eyes out missing Korra. What exactly would you call that?!" Opal replied the words finding their marks sticking Kuvira like daggers.

"I…" Kuvira stopped and looked at Opal at a loss for words. Opal almost roared with frustration and stomped back down the hall into her room and closed the door. Kuvira stoop for a few minutes in the kitchen before finding her way back into her bedroom falling back onto the bed and covered her face with a pillow. She tried to sort out what had just been said. Was she some kind of monster who roamed the earth leaving dried up used people in her wake? Kuvira opened her mouth to scream, pillows she had learned were excellent secret keepers.

The Coffee shop was busy, like it was supposed to be in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. Students crowded tables, their computers and books splayed in all directions before them. Asami was no different, her computer and notebook were open in front of her, she was attempting to finish reviewing the plans for a new future industries motorcycle, but she was too nervous. She sat legs crossed, the sleeves of her red blouse rolled up to her elbows. Her Raven black hair flowed down around her shoulders, cascading and roiling like a river flowing against the rocks. Her dark red lipstick put the button on her ensemble.

Asami looked up to grab her coffee to take a sip when she noticed Korra standing near the door to the coffee shop through the window. Korra was standing there off to the side as to not be in anyone's way just looking at the doors, she took out her phone as if to check the time and appeared to exhale sharply before walking towards the door. Korra stood taking in the coffee shop scanning the people until her eyes met Asami's. Asami lifted her hand in acknowledgement, Korra walked to the register and ordered a coffee and headed to the table where Asami was waiting. Korra stood beside the table coffee in one hand, the other in her jeans' pocket; she wore a sweatshirt that said "Archaeologists do it in the dirt", and black converse sneakers.

Korra stood there trying to tell herself it wasn't to late to leave until she looked Asami in the eyes for the first time in months. The brilliant green of Asami's eyes had always had a hypnotic effect on Korra from the very first time they had met, and of course she looked radiant as always seemingly without trying. "Hi Korra" Asami's voice poured into Korra's ears like smoke, making Korra let down her guard with an almost trained therapeutic effect.

"H-Hi" Korra stuttered lifting her cup to her lips and looking away prompting asami to put away her things.

"Here please sit down" Asami gestured to the seat opposite her and Korra took it. "You look good." Asami said smiling just slightly.

"pfft what mirror are you looking in?" Korra said as she slouched into her chair and sipped on her coffee still trying not to look at Asami. Asami's smile got a little but faded as they sat in silence for a moment. "So…?" korra said breaking the silence.

"So." Asami answered warming her hands with her coffee cup.

"Okay listen, I'm here because you said you had something you wanted to tell me Asami, I'm not here to play verbal gymnastics." Tainting the atmosphere with hostility."… I'm sorry that was rude of me." Korra whispered looking down at the table.

"No, don't be sorry Korra, you're right to be angry at me, if I were you I can't say that I would have come here, I'm sorry for everything, all the trouble and pain I've caused." Korra sat looking through the window, the ocean air sweeping clouds in from the harbor darkening the sky.

"I don't know what to say to that Asami. Korra replied without looking away from the window.

"You don't need to say anything, I just wanted to apologize, and to explain myself."

"I don't need an explanation anymore Asami, it would have been nice months ago." Korra cut Asami off turning to look the raven-haired beauty in her eyes.

"I know I should have told you in person instead of leaving a letter like that but it didn't tell the whole truth, or really at all." Asami said her voice wavering ever so slightly you may not have noticed It, unless you were versed in hanging on Asami's every word as Korra was.

"I never read it… the letter you left, it's still in my desk drawer." Korra said in a hushed tone, "I never wanted to open it and read it incase you walked through the door, I didn't want it to ruin what we had, if you came back I wanted to pretend it never happened." Asami's heart sank hearing Korra's words.

"I'm so sorry Korra" Asami said placing a hand on Korra's expecting it to be withdrawn immediately but Korra didn't move.

"Why… why did you leave?" Korra asked quietly. Asami sat for a while in the silence thinking, she had known she would need to answer this question but there was no way should could prepare herself, especially while looking at Korra's soul filled eyes.

"I wish that I could say that it was out of my control, that I didn't have any choice and I was coerced." Asami began, noting Korra's hurt expression as she turned to look out the window again. "… but I did have a choice, and I made the wrong one, I let go the absolute best thing in my life for my father's company." There was silence neither Korra nor Asami felt willing to breach in fear of bringing an end to this parlay they seemed to be involved in. "I… I know I don't deserve another chance,… but if you would be willing to give me one more shot I would show you just how much you mean to me, and never let you wonder how much you're loved, I love you." Asami said voice unwavering but eyes welling with tears. Korra looked at Asami taking in everything about her, Korra extended her hand to grab Asami's and said something that was lost in the noise of the coffee shop. Asami shook her head unable to hear Korra over the rising noise level in the coffee shop. Korra pointed out the window and stood up.

The two exited the shop and walked down the street not saying anything for a few seconds before Korra stopped walking. Asami turned to see what had happened. Korra stood looking at Asami and extended a hand. "I still love you too, I always will."
