My Lucky Stars

Chapter 14

Mia

Two months, it's been two months of torture to me. Knowing that Ryan misunderstands and I have no way of contacting him, to tell the truth. I look outside the window, it's raining like how my heart is as of the moment. I closed the cafe early as I cannot handle any customer in this state, while the twins are out with A.K at the moment. My mind jumbles up with a lot of words to say to Ryan once I see him later.

How could you do this to me? I miss you...so much.

I keep on asking Nathan or James for any information about him but to no avail. He's being stubborn and didn't want to give in. Nathan did say that he can relay what I wanted to say to Ryan when he called, but I'm being stubborn too since I want to say it to him personally.

I didn't even know that a drop of tear slip away until someone wipe it off my face. I jerk away from him in surprise and almost fall down the chair. I gasp when I see that certain someone is sitting across me.

"Ryan..."

"Hi, Mia..."

I can't produce any words since my mind jumble up with his sudden presence. I sit up properly to say something, but still, there's no word got out. Ryan put his hand on top of the table and clasp it together as he looks at me in the eye.

"Firstly, I'm sorry... I broke my promise, that I will tell you before I went anywhere, but I broke it...I'm sorry Mia."

I keep my head down, breaking any eye contact with him as I'm afraid I will break down in tears in front of Ryan.

"You don't deserve this Mia, I'm sorry for suddenly barging in your life and make you sad. I'm sorry and if you want to cut any ties with me...I'm okay, no... I'll be okay...so there's no need for you to feel sorry or sad anymore Mia"

My tears pooling in my eyes, making my breath hitch as I listen to his words, his goodbye. I shake my head profusely, I didn't want to accept it, I don't want him to go, I won't let him go.

I look up and my tears fall down, wetting my face as I hold Ryan's hand making him jump in surprise to my action. His eyes turn frantic as he sees my full of tears face, he quickly covers my face with his big warm hands, wiping those tears away.

"Hey, hey, hey... What's wrong? Don't cry, please don't cry, Mia..."

His words made me cry harder than before, and to this, he quickly jumps out of his seat and takes the spot next to me. He quickly pulls me in a hug as he tries to calm me down while rocking his body along with me. 

"I'm so sorry, Mia"

-----

I finally calmed down, after almost 15 minutes. Ryan is currently staring at me as he smiles softly. I know my eyes are puffy, my nose probably as red as a beet, and his clothes are wet with my gallon of tears. I point my finger to his shirt as my breath hitches from the extensive crying session.

"I'm sorry for making your clothes wet"

Ryan looks down at his shirt and then looks back up to me. He waves his hand signaling that it is okay.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better...Thank you, Ryan"

"Do you... Do you want to tell me? Or do you want me to beat him up for you?"

"Him?"

"Your boyfriend of course. You guys fought isn't it? That's why you cry..."

"What? Boyfriend?"

"It's okay Mia, I knew. I saw you guys two months ago inside the Cafe"

"No, Ryan..."

"As I said, It's okay Mia. You don't have to explain it to me, I understand and as for..."

I stomp my hand on top of the table making Ryan jump in surprise.

"Listen to me, before you said anything that will hurt me... again"

Ryan nods silently as I sit back down and face him.

"He's not my boyfriend."

Ryan's eyes widen and he's about to say something before I put my hand on his mouth and shakes my head.

"He's my childhood friend and we've just reunited a month before. So, yeah, you definitely misunderstand everything and decided upon yourself to run away"

Ryan looks at me in disbelief, probably blaming his own stupid decision.

"I tried looking for you everywhere, but your secretary, Nathan said you're nowhere to be reached. My tears are not for anyone but you. You are the one that makes me cry."

I stop talking as I feel my tears resurging again, Ryan quickly hugs me stopping me from crying for the second time.

"I'm so stupid! I'm so sorry, Mia. Forgive me."

I break the hug as I glare playfully at Ryan. Ryan looks at me apologetically but I can't stay angry at him, it's a misunderstanding. I pull him back to me and I notice his body stiffs when I hug him.

"I like you, and I accept you, us together is not that bad I guess."

Ryan pulls back quickly, and his eyes searching my own blue orbs for confirmation.

"Is this real?"

I nod slowly as a smile crept up on my face. I can see Ryan's relieves face before he continues hugging me, tightly.

"I almost give up. If you didn't come back or give me the chance to set things straight again. I don't think I can..."

"Shh...It's okay now, Mia. I'm here, I can never leave you...Although you can't be with me, I still won't leave you, I can't"

I move our body, rocking and swaying us slowly as we both become comfortable with each other.

"I thought I lost you already, Thank god."

"You catch my eyes, how can you lose me?"

Ryan pulls apart but not breaking the hug, his eyes look at me playfully. We both c***k a laugh as he registers my cheesy line, we both knew I'm not the one that likes cheesy lines.

"It's so quiet...Wait! Where's Ayla and Ayden?"

Ryan pulls away and looks around as he tries to find the twins.

"They are not here"

"Where are they?"

"A.K take them out since I'm not in the mood and I've been sluggish for days"

I stand up and smile awkwardly as I walk away, but Ryan pulls me back to him.

"Then... We have this time for ourselves...We should spend it wisely, Don't you think so, Mia?"

My face feels warm, probably as red as a beet and I think he can see it because he suddenly laughs. I pout because I can see that Ryan is teasing me, but my pout turns to a full smile when I see him smiling softly at me.

"Thank you for giving me a chance, Mia."

"Thank you, for coming back to me, Ryan"

"Always, Mia"
