Please Review after Reading if you want me to continue this haha! Hope you'll like this chapter! x

She had tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to say, she was speechless.

"Oh dear, this, this was what I've waited for, for so long. But I hope you understand it's not that easy Gary."

"What do you want me to do? I will do whatever"

"I don't know, I'm in a relationship now and he's on his way here. I need you to give me time, Gary. I need one day to think for myself, I will cancel the date with Mike and you can check into the hotel for the night and I'll see you in the morning."

"Yes, of course, if that's what you need, i'll wait. I can wait my whole life if it means that we will end up together." He took her hand and firstly looked her in her eyes but then gazed at her hand. He kissed it and as his lips touched her hand, he took a deep breath from his nose.

"What is this? Why do you have a guy in your kitchen kissing your hand Miranda?" They both looked up and saw Mike standing there in the doorway.

"Oh, Mike! You're early! Oh my god, this is Gary, you know the guy I told you about."

"Oh you're the one that broke her heart?"

"Yeah, and I have regretted it ever since. It was the biggest mistake I've ever done. I'm inlove with your girlfriend, I've been inlove with her for 14 years and I think I will always be."

"But you messed everything up."

"That's why I'm here to say I'm sorry" He stopped looking at Mike and turned to look at Miranda instead.

"Miranda, I'm so so sorry for all the pain I've caused you, and to see that I've caused pain to so many others too just makes me sick. I didn't think of what I was doing, I was young and I had dreams. Now I realise I can never fulfull my dreams without you next to me. You know what I think about you now, and I've finally said it. I'll leave you two to it and I'll see you tomorrow." He gazed into her eyes for the last time before he went to the door, and on his way to the door, he went past Mike who didn't look happy at all. He closed the door behind him and took his bag to walk to the hotel. This would be the longest hours of waiting in his whole life.

Right in that moment, all that had happened this last 20 minutes just made her realise that she wasn't in love with Mike, she had never been and a part of her hoped that she could fall in love with him but there always was someone there who came to her thoughts everytime she thought about Mike. It was Gary, who could she be fooling? It was so obvious how inlove she was in him and she would probably ever be, even how much she didn't want to. She took a deep breath. Looked Mike in the eyes and went to him. She took his hands and led him to the table for them to sit down.

"It's our 4 months anniversary and I'm so sorry it ended this way. I can't go on the date with you tonight, it's too much to think about. I just need you to know that I haven't really been totally honest with you about my feelings."

"Before you say anything, I need to know, You're inlove with him aren't you? It's all I have to know" She nodded and saw the disappointment in his eyes.

"You'll always be Miranda, you can't move on from it, can you?"

"I'm afraid not, I'm so sorry. You're such an amazing guy Mike. You deserve so much better"

"As long as you're happy, Miranda." He gave her a little smile and kissed her on her cheek.

"Thank you for understanding. This months has been so great to me, don't ever think otherwise." He gave her a little smile and turned around and walked out of her flat. When he came to the doorway, he turned around and looked her in her eyes for the last time before closing the door behind him. She took a deep breath and rested her face in both of her hands. "What now?" She said to herself. She had three choices, either staying. Living her life as she had gone there to do. Or she could go back with him, but staying just friends. Or they could give it a go. She still had about 12 hours to choose.
