JACOB'S POV

<1 year later>
One year. 365 days. It's been exactly 365 days since she left and I have never felt the same ever again.

I haven't kissed anyone, had sex with anyone or even flirted with anyone for a whole year because my whole existence belonged to Natalie.

I had written letters to her everytime I apologised to one of the "girls".

Most of them, much to my surprise, weren't as bad as my first one. Yes, my cheek had been slapped many times and the door has been slammed on my face but it was only for some girls. Most of them were quite excepting and told me that it was their mistake too.

Today, I was going to apologise to my last one night stand. I remembered fucking her the day I met Natalie. For some reason, meeting Natalie was more pleasurable than having sex with that woman.

After doing some research, I found out where she lived and was on my way to her house.

From the past six months I had raised my guards up when meeting these women. Six months ago, the press saw me outside the model's house (i dont know what her name is) and that became a huge news. What pissed me off the most is that the press managed to find out about Natalie. Luckily, it was dismissed as rumours.

This is was the last girl I had to apologise to and needless to say, I was nervous.

I stood outside her apartment and knocked on the door.

After what seemed like an hour, which was actually five seconds, she opened the door.

She instantly recognised me. Her eyes looked angry and expected a slap. But that didn't happen. Instead, the opened the door wide open and asked me to come in.

I hesitantly walked in and sat on the couch, when she motioned me to sit. We both sat there in an awkward silence when it became too much for me to bare and I spoke up.

"So, I came here to apologise."

She raised her eyebrow. "Apologise?"

I just nodded. After a long pause she said, "So the Heartthrob Billionaire finally fell in love."

My eyes widened. None of the previous girls made the connection. Either they shut the door on my face or when they asked me why I wanted to apologise, I simply said, my sister drove some sense into me.

"So I am right." She continued. "At least some sense got knocked into you. Where is she? By the way."

I looked down, my expression clearly expressing my answer.

Her face softened. "She left you, didn't she?"

"Yes"

"I hope I'm not being too intrusive but why?"

Normally I wouldn't have told her but I felt like I needed to talk about this to someone. Someone other than family.

"It was a misunderstanding. She thought I had sex with her only for a one night stand."

"I'm assuming someone tried to break your relationship and succeeded?"

Wow, does this lady read minds or something?

"Yes."

"Did she love you?"

"Yes"

"Do you love her?"

"More than anything."

"Listen, if you both truly loved each other, she will come back. She probably thought she wanted you to feel how much she means to you."

"She has been away for exactly a year."

"Love takes time, doesn't it? Not every has happily ever after immediately."

I took in her words. She made sense. I should never ever give up on Natalie. Not even when I die.

I got up and hugged her. Though she seemed startled for a second, she returned the hug.

"Go get your girl."

*******************
Dear Natalie,
I apologised to all the girls on the list. Every single one of them.

The last girl, Rita, was really nice and told me something that I will keep in my mind forever.

Never give up on you.

She told me that my happily ever after wouldn't come immediately and that love takes time.

Don't forget that no matter what, I will always love you.

You may have moved on. You may have stopped loving me. Though the thought of that hurts me, I still love you.

It's been a whole year since I saw you and your like a drug that's slowly killing me.

I love you beyond reason.

Love,
Jacob
