[A/N] Hello! :D Ok so I found myself writing a lot more than I thought I would this past couple of days.

I am seriously considering the option of ending this story soon. I believe that I want to write a sequel but I have to think about the. The facts about the sequel will I think be revealed on the end of this story.

Anyway, on with the "meeting"! :D

I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE GLEE CHARACTERS [:

Blaine had arrived at the cafe 30 minutes earlier than the time Rachel had set for them to meet. He had been up extra early for today and had cleaned himself up nicely. His growing mustache and beard was nowhere to be found, and thankfully, he had gotten enough sleep for the circles underneath his eyes to slightly disappear. He also brought with him 3 yellow roses, just like the ones he had brought with him when they had their apology date. Come to think of it, this was kind of similar to the one that they had during that date. It was the same flowers, same cafe, and same purpose. Only this time, Blaine really had done something to hurt Rachel emotionally. And just like the way he felt back then, Blaine was feeling nervous, and he could literally feel his heart pounding in his chest.

"Would you like to order Signore?" a waiter with a strong accent asked him. He must have noticed that Blaine had been sitting in the cafe for quite some time now, and he still hasn't placed his order.

"Oh...no I'm waiting for someone. Grazie," Blaine said, giving the waiter a nod.

After a few minutes, he spotted her. Rachel was still as beautiful as ever. She was wearing a peach coloured sundress with a thin white elbow-length cardigan. Her hair was not in a ponytail and it swayed in the wind as she walked. She was breathtaking, and Blaine just missed her more. All around her, Blaine could see the heads of the men turn as she walked by, and Blaine felt a mixture of pride and jealousy. He was just happy that he could still call her his, and hopefully he'd still be able to do the same after this date.

"Hi," Rachel said softly as she arrived near their table. Blaine on the other hand, had stood up and pulled back her chair for her.

"Hi. These are for you," Blaine said, picking up the yellow roses and giving them to Rachel.

"Thank you. They're pretty," Rachel said to him, giving him a small smile as she leaned the flowers near her face and smelled them.

They stared at each other for a couple of minutes. The first words were very comforting, but now, the two of them had no idea how to begin they're conversation. As the waiter arrived to hand them their menu, Blaine was thankful to have a minute of diversion. At least they would be able to talk about what the other would want to eat. But unfortunately, the two of them had been to this cafe frequently enough to know they would want, so Rachel quickly placed her order, and Blaine followed suit.

As their orders arrived, they were again enveloped by an awkward silence. Blaine felt that both him and Rachel would be talking after their meal so he opted to just finish eating his meal first before initiating anything. As they finished their meal however, it was Rachel who spoke to him first.

"Blaine..." Rachel said to him after the waiter had left with their orders.

"Rach?" he replied, still feeling tensed.

"Antonella told me everything. And I want to hear your side," Rachel said to him as she placed a letter in front of the table and pushed it towards Blaine.

"This must be the letter Toni gave to her," Blaine said as he reached for the letter ad opened it.

As he finished reading the letter, Blaine was nothing but thankful that Toni did not make things far more worse for him. The letter contained the truth, and hopefully, Rachel believed every single word written in it.

"Rachel, what she wrote is all true," Blaine started, looking into her eyes and feeling unsure if he should reach for her hands and hold them in his. "And I take the blame too. I know I should have done something to prevent this from happening. I'm sorry Rachel. I really am sorry. You have no idea how much this hurts me. I love you so much," Blaine said, now looking at the table as he felt the tears starting to form in his eyes.

"I understand you, and I love you too Blaine. You know that, and that will never change any time soon," Rachel said to him. She too was looking at the table, but Blaine was not sure if that was because of the same reasons as his.

"I'm really sorry Rach..." Blaine said, and finally, he let his tears flow.

As he tried to wipe the tears with his sleeve, he was surprised that Rachel had beat him to it. She had reached for him and touched his cheeks, wiping his tears in the process. Suddenly, Blaine looked up and was happy to see Rachel smiling at him.

"I love you. And the past month has been nothing but hell to me. I miss you everyday. I miss our walks home, I miss our lunch together. I miss talking to you every night before I go to bed. I just love you so much Blaine. And I'm sorry too. I never listened to you when you tried to explain everything to me. I should have trusted you. I love you Blaine. Don't ever forget that," Rachel said as her own tears started to flow on the sides of her face.

Without having any second thought, Blaine stood up from his chair and went to Rachel's side, and quickly, he wrapped her into a very tight hug. He was happy that Rachel did not do anything to free herself from the hug, instead, she hugged him in return, and at that moment, Blaine knew that everything would be ok.

"I love you," Blaine whispered as he continued to hug Rachel.

"I love you more," Rachel replied, hugging him even tighter.

As they left the cafe, both of them were holding hands. Blaine even gave a small smile as he felt the ring he gave on Rachel finger. He was happy that things were finally back to normal.

[A/N] ok so maybe the whole apology thing was so short, but just put it this way: Rachel already forgave Blaine even before they met up on the cafe [:

oh and Valentine's day is coming so I'll be writing something about that for the next chapter :D
