One Month Later

It has been a month since I've last seen or spoken to Czar. I didn't even bother with stopping by his house to pick up my things, he had one of his guards drop all of my belongings off on the front door step. I thought about calling him a few times but I never did. To occupy my mind I spent the last month swamping myself with my work.

Darcey was able to get me a lot of connections. Just last week I held my very own fashion show featuring all of my designs. I was currently taking clients and being booked up left and right. My next goal was to open up my own boutique. In just a few short months that seemed very possible.

"You need to rest dear, you've been up all night." My mother said as she walked into the kitchen.

She was right, I had been up all night working on designs for my fall collection. I didn't get much sleep, every other night I was waking up from nightmares and cold sweats. Moving back in with my parents didn't make it any easier, It felt like they were walking on eggshells around me and I hardly ever spoke to my dad. 

I planned on moving out within two months, but my plans changed rather quickly.

Which is why I was up all night, I couldn't go to sleep because I kept thinking about my meeting with Czar today. I was surprised he even agreed to meet with me at all, but I figured he thought we would be discussing divorce. 

"I'm fine." I said to my mother as I closed my sketch book. "I have to get dressed any ways."

I exited the kitchen into my room where I looked through my closet for something to wear. I decided on a dark green off the shoulder dress which I paired with brown sandals. I let my hair out in it's natural curly state and then I dowsed myself in perfume. I had butterflies in my stomach, I was scared to meet with Czar.

Terrified.

But I had to admit that I missed him. More than I thought I would. Every thought was about him, everywhere I go I'm reminded of him, even at night when I'm laying in bed I picture that it's his arms wrapped around me and bringing me comfort. He consumed my whole being.

I took a deep breath before grabbing my purse and exiting. 

"I should be back soon." I called to my mother before I left out of the house.

Czar and I had agreed to meet at a coffee shop which was just a couple blocks down from my house. So, of course I beat him there, but I only had to wait a few minutes before he arrived. He was dressed in jeans and a baby blue t-shirt and was wearing sunglasses. His beard had grown out more and for some reason he looked to be more lean.

I didn't need to wave to him for him to spot me. He walked over and took a seat, before sliding his sunglasses off. Allowing me to see his beautiful blue eyes.

"Hello." I said in a small voice.

He slightly nodded his head at me.

I cleared my throat, my stomach was doing back flips and I felt as if I was going to throw up at any given second.

"There is something that we need to talk about." I said.

"If it's the divorce papers you could've just sent them in the mail. No need to drag me out of the house for this." He said.

I looked up at him "It's not the divorce papers, I...I don't want a divorce."

"Then what do you want Zariah? Because one second you love me then the next you hate me." He said.

"I know what I did wasn't fair to you, but you have to understand Czar...I needed time. So many things happened to us all at once and I felt as if I just couldn't breathe, I needed to be away from you in order to know whether or not if this was something I wanted. If you were something I wanted."

"And?" He asked.

"And you are. You are worth all the tears and every fight that I have to go through if that's what it takes to be with you. I couldn't see how much you meant to me until you weren't there and...I'm a wreck Czar. I really am...because the truth of the matter is...I love you and I don't thing no one else could truly ever replace the love I have for you."

"I love you too Zariah." He said leaning over the table so that he could take my face into his hands. "I love you so damn much."

He smashed his lips to mine and we began to kiss. I didn't care who stared at us in that moment. I had been craving this ever since I left Czar and now I finally got it, it all felt so surreal. Like everything was falling into place.

"Um, excuse me."

A voice caused for the both of us to jump back. I tried to hide my face from embaressment while Czar turned towards the waitress.

"Can I get you guys anything?" She asked.

"I'll have a muffin." I said before Czar could answer.

"And I'll just have a bottle of water." Czar said.

The waitress wrote the items down before walking away. I turned to look back at Czar who was already smiling at me.

"You said you had something to tell me. What is it?" He asked.

I smiled before pulling out a picture from my purse and sliding it to him.

"I'm pregnant."
