I'm nervous as I walk into the restaurant.
I know tonight will be the talk.
We've kept our distance these past few months.
I think it was for the best.
We both needed space to clear our heads.
I needed to be sure of what I wanted, and you needed to just figure out you.
I walk towards the table, and you stand to greet me, wrapping me up in a hug.
I can't help but inhale your scent and melt into your embrace.
I've missed being close to you.
The waiter comes and we order and after we've caught up and we begin our meal, the awkward silence decends, neither of us knowing really where to begin.
"Bella and I are divorced." You tell me matter of factly.
It almost causes me to choke on my food.
I just stare at you, unsure of what to say so you continue to speak.
"I moved out of the apartment right after the wedding. I saw a therapist to help me sort out my issues, figure out who I was…what I wanted."
I'm afraid of what you're going to say next, afraid that what you want isn't me.
"Jasper," you say softly as you reach across the table and take my hand in yours.
"I want you. I want us. We can take things slow and see where they go…but I want a future with you…that is if you want that too."
Now you're the one looking nervous.
There's so much I want to say, and I know we still have things to talk about, but for now I think the answer I give is enough.
"I'd like that very much."
