know who you are. I love you, and I won’t let you go. Not ever. And if that means begging for your forgiveness day in and day out, even if you won’t talk to me, or even see me, I’ll do it with pleasure,” he says, staring at the camera that’s taping him. I feel like he’s watching me, and maybe he knows that I am, too.
“Sam, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything I did. I want to tell you so much more, but words fall short when I try to describe what I feel for you. I want to apologize for hurting you. Please come outside the Starbucks you’re standing in.”
My eyes widen. He knows. He knows that I’m here? How?
“You must be wondering why I know where you are. I didn’t have anyone follow you, trust me. I’m not that type of guy.” He muffles a laugh. “But I know you well enough to realize where you’d go when you’re hurt. What you want when you’re sad. What you do to cheer yourself up. That, and I texted your best friend, who wasn’t all too keen on helping me … but she did it anyway. Provided that I’d beg for your forgiveness and accepted the consequence of hurting you again, which was a smack in the face from her.”
The people in the Starbucks laugh, but I’m the only one whose jaw feels screwed loose.
“I deserve every inch of your wrath, so please come and give it to me. I’m in the mall, right in front of the Starbucks you’re in. Will the beautiful redheaded curvy girl come outside.”
Now all eyes zoom in on me, and I can feel my cheeks heat up. My head drifts toward the window, peeking through the mass of people to spot Leo standing there in his suit with a huge bouquet of red roses in his hand.
With my lips slammed together and a whole bunch of eyes watching me, I make my way through the Starbucks crowd and step out of the door. My heart is beating like a drum as we walk toward each other. Everyone’s looking, not just the people in the Starbucks, but half of the people in the mall have stopped shopping to watch us.
As I stand in front of him, I don’t know what to say when he smiles at me without saying a word. He holds out the roses. “These are for you.”
“Thank you …” I mutter as he hands them to me and gives me a peck on the cheek.
“I didn’t want to come empty handed,” he says.
“You certainly made a big entrance,” I say, chuckling. “Everybody is looking at us.” Just thinking about it makes my body heat up with embarrassment.
“Let them stare.” The look on his face has turned completely serious. “I only care about you.”
I don’t know what to say to that. It’s all a little overwhelming.
“How …” I mutter.
“How did I find you? Well, I’ve been trying for days, but I guess you already noticed that.” He chuckles. “I’m not one to give up easily.”
“I saw you everywhere, on the bus, on the train,” I say.
“Yes. What a few advertising companies can do, huh?” He puts his hand behind his head as if even he doesn’t know quite what to say.
“Wow … all of that … for me?”
“Anything and everything, Sam. I really meant it when I said that I loved you. I even went as far as to harass your friend so she’d tell me if you were still at her place. The moment she texted me that you were out on your own, I knew I had to set the plan into motion.”
“Oh … holy shit …” I say, blowing out a huge breath.
He smiles, looking down at the floor. “Yeah, I’m quite crazy.” He glances up at me from under his eyelashes. “Crazy about you.”
I sigh, smiling and shaking my head at the same time. “Leo …”
“I know, I know what you’re thinking … that I can’t come here and just say stuff like that, but it’s the truth. And I made a promise to a certain someone that I’d stop lying for good.”
“Hmm …” I make a face because somehow I find this all a little hard to believe. I wonder what he’s up to. “So … why did you want me to come and meet you outside?” I ask.
“Well, for
