A Change Outside My Window

my entry for FabinaxJara-SiBuNa's Challenge. Nina had a very routine way of life. But what happens when a small change outside her window turns her world upside down? AU/ Future Fabina. Peddie, Jara, Mickber

10. You and Me PREVIEW

The thanks goes to SibunaFreak123 for being the first reviewer of chapter 9!

After Fabian slept with Nina that night on Christmas, they ignored each other for weeks. It was February 10th when Nina finds a bouquet of yellow and pink roses on her desk with a letter.

Nina,

When placed together, yellow and pink roses mean 'asking for forgiveness.' Nina I really want your forgiveness. For lying to you the first time. Please know that I didn't mean to hurt you. I never meant it. I was stupid to agree to the stupid favor for Mick. Also for not telling you the truth when you asked for it. I should have told you about the favor when I had the chance. Maybe things would have been different right now if I did. Maybe we'd be dating. Or engaged. Because I'd love that. I love you and if I can gain your forgiveness and love back someday then hopefully we will be. Yellow roses mean 'promise of a new beginning.' I promise that if you want we can put this whole thing behind us someday. We can never speak of it again. It will be a whole new beginning. I know I don't deserve it because you already gave me a second chance on the very day we met. And I failed it. I shouldn't have been given a second chance. Because I was lying to you and basically toying with your emotions. I don't want to ever do that again. Pink roses mean 'please believe me.' Please believe that I love you. With my whole heart and my soul. I love you so much and please believe that I always will. I know that I don't deserve you and never will. But believe that I do. Please.

Love Fabian

Nina re-read that letter a thousand times. Leaving work early, Nina made her way to Fabian's apartment. She knocked on his door until Fabian opened it.

"Fabian," Nina said, "I want us to be friends."

"Me too."

As the short days grew longer, Nina and Fabian drifted closer and closer together. Then, Fabian asked Nina to meet him at the park.

"Nina, do you think that people deserve second chances?" Fabian asked.

"Depends." Nina sighed.

"On?"

"On what they did."

"Nina can I give you something?" Fabian asked.

Nina nodded and Fabian pulled a lavender, a white, and a red rose out of his pocket.

"Nina, find out what these mean and come find me." Fabian said, then walked away.

Okay, that was a preview.
