Diana’s Pov
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing nonstop on my nightstand. My eyes adjusted to my room disoriented and upset that the call woke me up, I reached over to silence my phone, I wondered who could be disturbing me by this time. As my eyes caught a glimpse of the caller, my eyes widened, I hurriedly got up and sat upright, I stared at my phone as it buzzed continuously.
We hadn't spoken since our kiss and I wasn't sure if I was ready to talk to him yet. But something about his name on my screen made me recall our passionate moment. Maybe he was calling to apologize about how he acted, I mean…I wasn't necessarily upset about it, I wanted more of it but I couldn't tell him that.
I took a deep breath and answered the phone, trying to sound calm and unbothered about the call.
"Hey," I said, trying to keep my voice low.
"Hey," Rolf replied, I could hear the worry in his voice, something about how he sounded made me feel something was wrong. "I'm sorry to call so early, but I needed to talk to you." Talk? What was wrong again? I questioned my thoughts
I adjusted and rested my back on my bed frame. My heart was racing. "Okay…I am all ears, what's going on?" I was already getting worked up.
“I know what happened the other night was my fault. I just wanted to apologize," My heart fluttered, I didn't notice when my lips pulled up to a grin. I was smiling like a high schooler who was on a phone call with her boyfriend.
“Is that all?” I tried to sound nonchalant about the situation. He chuckled lightly and I knew he realized what I was trying to do.
"I was wrong about everything. I need to make things right but you have to give me a chance.”
A lump formed in my throat, this was a bittersweet moment. This just proved that he was trying to be a better man and mate for me, but I couldn't just wipe out all my memory and everything I experienced. Did I have to die before he realized that he loved me?
“I appreciate that,” I said simply.
"I know I don't deserve it, but I was wondering if we could talk in person," He was serious about making things right but I wouldn't let things be easy for him.
“I am not sure. It might be another ambush,” I wanted to be dramatic, it was working for sure. I bit my lower lips as I anticipated his reply.
“You wouldn't have to worry about such, I will protect you no matter what.” My face turned red, he was so sweet to me if only he had been half as nice as he was to me now in my past life.
I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. But something about Rolf's words made me feel like he was genuinely sorry like he was willing to work to make things right between us.
"Okay, we can meet at Jay’s cafe down my street by 1pm. You better make it worthwhile.” Now I called the shots, it was beautiful to be in charge for once and not the stepping stone I grew up to be.
"Thank you, Diana," he said. "I'll be there." Rolf heaved a sigh of relief, I guess he wasn't expecting me to accept his invitation.
I hung up the phone and laid back in bed, I soliloquized, I couldn't sleep back knowing fully well I will be seeing Rolf in a few hours.”
A few minutes later, after a couple of tossing and turning, I finally slept. I woke up feeling energetic, I was attended to by the low-rank wolves. I remember when I used to be in their shoes, I treated them as respectfully as I could.
I spent the rest of the morning getting ready, trying to calm my nerves. I didn't know what to expect from our meeting, but I was willing to give Rolf a chance to make things right.
Soon after a driver dropped me in front of the coffee shop. I wore a floral mint green dress that complimented my eyes. This wasn't a date but I wanted to look good.
I took a deep breath before I pushed open the coffee shop door. I scanned through the few people in there before I spotted Rolf, he looked at me with glistening eyes. He was sitting at a table by the window. I promised myself not to let him in so easily, I won't repeat my past mistakes.
I took a deep breath and walked over to him, trying to calm my raging nerves. This was the man I wanted forever and now he wants me back. I didn't know how to act.
Hey," My voice gave it away that I was nervous.
Rolf stood up and smiled, he reached out to hug me but I declined by raising my hand. "Hey," he replied, pulling out a chair for me.
We sat down, and no words were said. Rolf called out to the waiter and ordered two cups of coffee.
“I thought you changed your mind,” Rolf teased, clearing the tense air.
“I thought about it a couple of times.” I smiled inwardly, Rolf chuckled softly at my reply. The waiter brought the coffee and I took a sip of mine as he watched me.
“Be mine forever.” I choked at his words, they were so sudden. He offered me a glass of water, I became stable and I looked at him in astonishment. Before I could utter a word the table cloth on the table was pulled to the ground, and the cups on the table all went flying.
I was shocked as I hurriedly stood up, as my eyes settled for the lady that burned with envy, my eyes nearly bursted out of its socket.
“Melissa?”
