Baris POV
Five long years, five lonely years.
No calls, texts, or even email from my lover.

I mean what was I expecting?

My insecurities singlehandedly ruined the one good thing I had in my life.

The only way I was able to see my Angel was through her social media.

I'm not stalking her or maybe I am? I just believe myself to be worried that's all.

She still looks exactly like she did years ago but slightly more mature and grown up.

Willow has grown into a beautiful and accomplished woman.

I'm very happy for her. She's my happiness.

Right now, at this moment where she's right in front of my eyes I don't know what else to do besides call her name.

"Your hair... It got longer" She awkwardly commented.

My hand uncontrollably went to my shoulder length hair and I couldn't help but smile at her.

"How have you been?" I asked timidly.

"I'm good, everything's great. What about you?" She responds.

"I missed you" I confessed.

Willow shifts her eyes, looking everywhere else but me.

"Please say something?" I pleaded taking one step towards her but she evaded my touch before I could even feel her skin.

Clearing her throat, Willow moved away from me.

"I umm— I have to go. It was nice meeting you. Goodbye Baris" That hurt but I deserved it after what I did and said to her.

"Bye..." I whispered the three letter word feeling my chest tighten as I watched her turn her back on me.

"Wait!" The four letter word flew out of my moth before I could even stop.

Willow turned around with confusion marred on her face.

Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.

"I'm sorry— I know what I did 5 years ago is very unforgivable but I just had to apologize. My insecurities got the best of me and I acted on impulse, saying horrible things and even going as far to almost taking your virtue without consent. All I'm asking if for you to just forgive me and hopefully we could be friends. Only if you'll have me as one" The look on her face was unreadable and it was scaring me.

Willow pursed her full lips before sighing.

"Baris, you really hurt me but I hear you and earning my trust won't be easy. I'm not the same person you knew, I'm a different woman now" I nod my head in understanding while biting my bottom lip happy that she was even considering it.

"Thank you, I promise you won't regret this" She muttered something in her foreign language before saying something else.

"I sure hope not" A small smile crept on face.

"May I get your phone number" I eagerly asked.

"No, not yet. Just message me on Instagram." My head shot up.

"You liked one of my old pictures. I don't know if it was by accident but stalking isn't a good look on you, Baris" She said jokingly.

Damn, I got caught.

"Okay, I have to go now. It was nice meeting you Baris. Goodbye." Willow sent me a small wave before walking away.

Just an hours ago, I was at my sister's house playing with my 2 year old nephews.

Thanks to my trip to the market, I was able to see my Angel once again.

She still looks beautiful as ever, glowing and— just perfect.

Seline's husband, Murat is currently on a business trip and she needed the extra help around the house.

While I didn't have anyone or anything keeping me occupied so I offered.

My sister asked me to go buy some groceries for her along with a detailed list.

This market sells mostly international products from Africa, Asia and even the Middle East.

Since, I already got what she wanted from the list. I opened my car trunk and placed every securely inside.

I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I remember what happened a few moments ago.

My phone starts to ringing, I pulled it out of my jeans pocket and saw my sister's contact.

"Baris, where are you? Your nephews are driving me insane!" Seline whisper-yelled.

"Where do they have you hiding this time?" I asked trying to keep myself from laughing.

"In the bathroom, those little shits always want everything I'm eating. They're sitting outside the door right now. Hurry" My nephews are really their Murat's son.

They're just as clingy and nosy as their father.

"Okay sis, I'll be there soon" I told her before hanging up.

I chuckled to myself as I put the car in ignition, then drove out of the market's parking lot.

Willow's POV
I really want to physically fight my subconscious because that bitch is always horny.

Yes, Baris looks like a sex god but that doesn't mean I should forget everything and buss it open for him.

He still needs to compensate for hurting me and until he does that maybe I'll feel generous.

Even after everything, I was very happy to see him again.

I just hope a repeat of what transpired 5 years ago doesn't happen again.

'Baris, please don't make my decision' I thought to myself.
