CHAPTER 12

ROMAN'S POV:

I keep messing up, like seriously, every few days I need to cause some drama, I am a very stupid man if I say for myself.

I don't even need to tell about how I messed up this time, but in my defense I was very much jealous. I know Ryan is my best friend or in sense only friend and has been since 25 years, yeah you can call us dipper buddies. Okay gross! But whatever. Still I became insecure and jealous when I saw him laughing and talking with my Avery.

Also I knew Ryan was just trying to mess with me since I had told him about Avery, he keeps teasing and mocking me, though playfully.

So let's conclude I have messed up again by ignoring and scolding her when it wasn't her fault, I had seen her accidently bumping and falling yet I acted like a jerk.

It is true jealousy makes you nasty!

So I decided to make a full proof plan to make the situation better and thus here I am sitting in a nice restaurant in front of Avery trying to say sorry while acting cool, although I am nervous, and the silence isn't making it any better.

It has been 10 minutes since we came, first the car ride was silent and now we are just eating our lunch quietly with me glancing at her every several second just to find her eating with her head down ever since, just sitting and looking cute. Okay focus Roman, now is not the time to think like this!!

To break the silence I also gain her attention I fake a cough and spoke.

"It is nice weather today, isn't it?" I asked lamely, like weather seriously...

"Uh yeah, nice weather, hmm very nice." Was her awkward answer after looking at me as if I had grown two head. Obviously it was the worst question in the history of starting conversations.

"So you like you work? Any trouble?" I asked because I know how much she is passionate about her work, this question must do.

As expected her face light up on this and she answered excitedly "Yeah work is nice, though it get a little too much sometimes but I love my work. All the other people are also very nice and humble." Okay first one ever to enjoy working.

"That's good! I also appreciate your work very much, all the project completed by you are very much praised in every meeting, we have got several new deals because of you."

This I wasn't just saying for the sake of forgiveness, her work is indeed very good and I feel proud of her when people praise her work so much during meetings.

"Really? Thank you, I am very happy to hear this." She said with a full smile on her beautiful face. That is the smile I adore.

"By the way, are you hurt, Ryan told me you fall down this morning? Sorry I didn't knew you had fallen and that is why you were late, I shouldn't have assumed, it was false of me and Ryan had annoyed me early in the morning and so I was in somewhat bad mood, not that it defines my action, I was wrong to snap and so Sorry?" I asked the question I was desperate to ask from the start. As much as I feel guilty for lying about not knowing she fall and putting the blame on Ryan, as I said I was desperate, also I can't tell her I was jealous, because that might freak her out, which I don't want.

Hearing this her smile slowly faded, she looked down and mumbled 'it's okay'. Which I knew she said just for my sake and it was clearly written all over her face that what my ignoring and snapping had hurt her, it was not okay!! I will have to make it up to her.

Just as I was to say I was interrupted by a waitress who brought the bill. After paying she left leaving her number, what the hell! Can't she see I am with a lady myself, thus I did the logical thing and dropped the paper in my glass of water and stood up take Avery's hand for leaving.

This whole action didn't go unnoticed by Avery who smiled a little for what reason I didn't know but it made me happy.
