Dylan's POV


"Hi, I'm here to see..."

"Ms. Jean," the receptionist at Marie-Anne's office replies. I think her name is Trisha or something. I give her a smile and a small chuckle, "you do realize that you say the same thing everytime you come here right?" She asks.

"No, I didn't," I reply.

"Of course, you didn't," she whispers more to herself.

"Can I?" I ask pointing towards the hallway of Marie-Anne's office, "or did she say that only the devil himself can disturb her?" I ask referring to the time that she said only God himself can disturb her. I don't know, but she seems more like the devil to me or at least that's what she turned to.

"In that case go right ahead," she says.

"Are you accusing me of being the devil?" I ask her jokingly.

"No, you're more like a  god, you have this welcoming aura surrounding you," she jokes back, "what's your zodiac sign?" She asks out of nowhere.

"Um... I think I'm a Virgo," I tell her taking a wide guess. My little sister is obsessed about all things zodiac and she used to tell me that we get along so well because I'm a Virgo and she's a Taurus or something like that. "Why?"

"Choose the angel today, choose to do what you think is right," she tells me. For some reason, what she said relates to what I am going through. Choose to do what you think is right...

"You're a psychic something?" I ask her leaning on the desk.

"No, I'm actually a psychology major, but my mom is a psychic," she tells me.

"Being a psychologist is your way of avoiding what your mom is doing, that's why you chose a major close to the same thing," I tell her.

"Maybe," she says raising up her shoulders.

"Call me when you graduate, I might need someone like you and thank you for the horoscope, do you tell everyone that comes here their horoscope?" I ask her.

"Only the ones I like."

"Well, I'm glad that I'm part of that circle," I tell her with a smile, "I have to get back to work soon, so I'm gonna go do what I came here to do."

"Yeah, see you."

"Yeah, the devil's out," I joke putting up a peace sign while walking backward. She laughs at my dumbass and I enter the hallway. That's when I come back to Earth and realize what I am doing here. I promised Marie-Anne, I'd bring her clothes for her, so here I am doing exactly that. I waited for two weeks, kicked her out of a building, but at least I'm keeping my promise.

I just couldn't deal with her, she really hurt my feelings and no matter how much she apologizes, the feeling never seems to go away. I stop by her door leaning on the hallway to how much it'll hurt seeing her again, will she be mad at me? Why do I even care if she is, I don't care what she thinks? She left the door half open, her back is towards the door and I watch as she talks to Tyler. I knock on the door opening it without waiting because it's already open.

As I open the door, she jumps out of surprise falling down while hitting her head in the process. I laugh in my head as I stand holding the bag in my hand, this is God punishing her. Tyler looks down at her shaking his head, he then looks up to me giving me a smile, "sweetheart, get off the floor," Tyler tells her looking at her. "Argent is here," he adds.

"She's just jumpy and a little clumsy," Tyler tells me. I nod my head in agreement awkwardly. Slowly, Marie-Anne's head starts to show behind her desk, "did you hurt your head?" He asks her touching where she hit her head. She shakes her head no getting up. She stands up our eyes locking into each other.

Her eyes are full of excitement because I decided to show up here, but I can tell how she is trying to say sorry, so many words. I stand there looking at her having no idea how to feel, should I forgive her or should I not? Do what you think is right... I tell myself, that's what the horoscope said. I don't even know what I think is right, my heart is saying one thing when my brain is saying another.

Tyler's phone starts ringing making us break eye contact and turn to him, "Hello?" He answers the phone. "I'll be there in a few minutes," he says hanging up the phone. "I have to go, be ready tomorrow," he tells Marie-Anne. Be ready for what? Marie-Anne simply nods her head and Tyler leaves giving me a smile while he exits.

"Here," I tell Marie-Anne handing her the bag that contains her clothes, "I said that I'd bring them on Monday and it's been two weeks so I'm sorry," I say scratching the back of my head.

"Well, today is Monday, you said you'd bring it on Monday, you didn't say which one," she jokes. I chuckle nodding my head.

"Bye Marie-Anne," I say turning around to leave.

"Dylan," she says. I face the door putting my hand on the frame. "I'm sorry," she says. I still don't turn around afraid to face her. If I do turn around she'll see how I just want us to be okay with each other, she'll see how I just miss her, she'll see how I'm trying to fight the fact that I already forgave her. I don't want to give her the satisfaction. "Dylan," she says tapping my shoulder, "look at me," she orders. I sigh turning around slowly. "I'm sorry," she tells me, "I really am."

"I forgive you," I tell her, "now can I go?" I ask her pointing to the door.

"Thank you, but you look like you are still mad," she says. "I just want us to be cool again, Dylan."

"I don't think we can ever be cool again," I say pointing my index finger towards her than at me.

"Why?" She asked so innocently.

"Probably because I've decided that I've had enough, Marie-Anne, I can't just spend the rest of my life feeling sorry, chasing you, I just can't," I tell her honestly.

"You don't have to feel sorry because you didn't do anything wrong and I don't want you to chase me because I'm done running," she says holding my hands.

"Marie-Anne, I can't," I say pulling my hands away from her.

"I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry, how many times do you want me to say that? I made a mistake and I can't fix it unless we can go back in time." She starts pacing around the small office, "I care about you and I can't bear the thought that we are not in good terms. You were right, it was love, not lust."

"Marie-Anne, I don't care about that no more," I tell her. She stops pacing looking at me.

"Then, what do you care about and why are you still mad?"

"I don't know," I say with a sigh.

"It's all my fault, isn't it?" She doesn't give me a chance to reply and starts to pace around again. "We were just starting to be on good terms and I ruined it, I'm so stupid, What's wrong with me? On average I've..."

I shut her out because she is talking way too much, I watch as she walks back and forth worry planted on her small face. I lean on the door thinking. Maybe, she really is sorry, I've never seen someone apologize so much. She hasn't left me alone for like two weeks trying to apologize, she seems like she actually cares about what I think. "Marie-Anne," I call her trying to get her to stop talking and walking around the room. She ignores me continuing to do her thing.

She always did talk a lot, I guess I'll just let her talk, "Did you know that you are the only person I've tried to apologize that much to in my entire life?" She asks me or herself. I don't know, "I mean that got to mean something, does that mean I love you or did I never stop loving you?" She asks again but doesn't give me a chance to answer. "Oh my God, I can't believe it, I think I do, I'm just so afraid of us, I'm afraid of having any serious relationship, in fact, that's why I try to ignore the fact that Tyler wants us to be serious."

I rub my hand over my face laughing internally, it's so cute that she pours her heart out when she is worried. Wait, did she say that she loves me? "Marie-Anne," I call her again, but she is so busy talking to herself that she doesn't even hear me. I walk up to her pulling her towards me, she keeps talking so I kiss her so she can shut up.

"I think that's what it means, life is just so..." she continues once I pull away.

"For Christ's sake Marie-Anne, just shut up," I tell her kissing her again.
