Chapter 12

Kehlani's POV

Alright Kehlani, you're doing this for yourself. You need to know, so you can grow. That rhymed!

Pushing open the café door, I hold my breath as I look eyes with light blue ones. He gave me a small smile which I fought to return as his auburn hair moves with the movement of his head.

"H-hey Owen."

"Kehlani." He greets as I sit. "What's up?"

Straight to business as usual. Owen never bothered beating around the push, always ready to conquer and move around a problem.

"W-well... I—"

"Still nervous around me, after two years?" He jokes but it only makes me feel worse, even he cringes a little.

"I just need... I need to know why... Why —"

"I left you?" He finishes, leaning back, his eyes averting outside as I nod. "The truth?"

"Please."

"I couldn't do it."

"Do what?" I ask confused.
