Avery

It was the most awkward dinner I've ever had. With nobody knowing what to say and how to act, it sure was awkward.

"Are you done?" He asked when he saw I was playing with my food, I nodded in confirmation.
"Okay I'll take these away" he said as he stood to clear the table.
"No I can do that myself" I countered
"Please allow me" he pleaded.

I sat as he washed the dishes and cleaned the table which was really suprising considering he hated doing house chores.
When he finally finished what he was doing, I observed as he slowly walked towards me seeming unsure of himself.
"Uh c-can we just uh... Can we, are you free now? I was wondering if you'd like to sit with me in the balcony" he rushed out.

I found it kind of amusing as he stumbled over his own words. But this could help me in some way because I wanted to talk to him too. I guess we should straighten out some things between us and be better for ourselves.

"Sure" I nodded and he immediately led me to the high balcony on the second floor. I stood unsure of what to do here as I knew it was going to be awkward between us.
It wasn't until Damon placed his hand on my lower back did I come out of my reverie. "Sit down" he said softly as he smiled down at me.

"Uh I ..."

"I want..."

We both started to talk at this same time before we paused.

"Sorry" I blushed in embarrassment as I tucked my hair behind my ear.

No one said anything for a while and then I thought... maybe I should enjoy the silence for this night because It has been a while since I had this kind of inner peace with this kind of silence.

I looked up to the sky in awe of how perfectly scattered the stars are up there as if they already knew their positions.

"I was worried" Damon finally said softly breaking the silence.
I felt his eyes drilling holes at the side of my head before I turned to look at him nervously.
"I was worried about you Avery, no I'm worried about you" he said solemnly. "I was worried when I didn't see you home early, I was worried when Howard didn't answer his phone, I was worried when you didn't answer yours either. Please tell me you're okay" he pleaded as he came nearer to me.

I was stunned at the level of sincerity shining in his eyes. I felt like putting everything that happened between us behind us but I'm afraid I can't do that without us sorting ourselves.

"I'm- I'm fine, I'm okay I just had some issues that needed my attention" I reassured. It wasn't entirely a lie.

"I'm glad. I wouldn't know what I'd do to myself if something happens to you" he said as he looked into my eyes.

"Uh it's um" I stumbled over my words.

"Do you want to sit down" Damon asked

"No I'm alright"

"I don't want you to exhaust yourself any longer, you had a long day. Please sit down" he fussed as he grabbed a lounge chair from the corner and guuded me to sit down. His simple actions gave me mixed feelings.

I watched as Damon looked around and sighed. It seemed he wanted to say something because his hand trembled, why?... I don't know.

"I've never really done this to anyone except you and that was when I proposed to you" he started talking making me frown at my lack of understanding of his words.

My mouth fell open as he went down on his two knees directly in front of me and held his two ears. A guesure that shows one was extremely sorry for his doings.

"What is this" I asked in shock, I almost fell over when he hugged my legs to his chest.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that I treated you unjustly in the past, I'm sorry I humiliated you, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry I wasn't the man your perfect heart wished for, I'm sorry I couldn't give you the fairytale ending you desired since you were a child, I'm sorry you had to put up with me even when I failed you, I'm sorry for the I'll treatments my mother gave you. I'm so sorry Avery" He pleaded as a lone tear rolled down his left cheek making my own tears fall.

"You deserve the whole world and even more. I'll give you everything you would ever want and I swear I'd lay down the world at your feet if only you let me and give me a chance. If only you accept me as a man who is sorry for his wrong deeds and is willing to make amends and sacrifice everything for the woman he loves with all his heart. Please Avery please take me back I'm begging you" Damon cried. His sudden action of burying his face in my stomach made me immediately tense up.

I watched as he looked up at me with sadness, guilt and tears in his eyes.

"Uh I I-I forgave you long ago Damon" I finally voiced out and continued " if I didn't there'd be no way I'd agree to come with you to your house in the first place"

"Thank you so much for forgiving me even when I don't deserve it" Damon said as a tear rolled out of his eyes making me uncomfortable.

"Can you stand up, your knees should be hurting already" I said worriedly

"I don't care. This is how I'll always remain in front of you whether in public or not. It's you that needs to sit down" he said as he made me sit down again while he was still on his knees. This ladies and gentlemen made my heart flutter a little.

"But just get up " I pushed and he didn't even move an inch.

"Can I hug you" he blurted. My eyes widened in suprise, I could see the faint blush of his cheeks.

I could see his confidence waver by the minute since I didn't give him a yes or no.

I hesitantly nodded and immediately my body was engulfed with large warm ones and let's not forget the musk cologne that made my insides tingle. I heard him take a deep breath as he tightened his hold around me. 'He seemed to be enjoying the moment why don't I' I thought as I inhaled his ever delicious cologne resting my head on his shoulder.

"I met my parents today"
I don't know why I said that but I immediately almost regretted seeing as his whole body went stiff in my arms. Way to ruin a peaceful moment.

"What. What do they do this time? Are you okay? I knew I should have just asked my bodyguards to always be with you" Damon said as worry shined in his eyes.

"They're asking for forgiveness" I mumbled looking down and he immediately shut his mouth.

"And what do you want?" Damon asked softly his eyes searching mine for what I don't know.

"Do you want to forgive them?" he asked again.
"Sweetheart talk to me" he gently shook me when I didn't respond.

Damon

I lifted up her face and my heart hurt when I saw pain beneath those tears in her eyes. I instantly want to take all her problems away.

"I want to know what it feels like to be loved again" she said as the tears in her eyes rolled down her cheeks.
"I've been deprived of love a long time ago and I've been too strong for too long. I don't think I can continue like this but... I I would love to give them a chance" Avery said as she looked into my eyes.

I couldn't resist embracing this goddess of love in my arms. She still feels for those who hurt her in the worst ways known to man. Especially me and I'll keep on cherishing the Angel God sent to me.

"I would love to give them a chance the way I'm giving you a chance" she said and looked into my eyes.

What's your reaction on Avery's Decision?
