Second Chances

    Neas is a nervous wreck inside. He gets to the coffee shop right on time. Neriah is inside sipping on her coffee. She too is as nervous as can be. Neas heads inside and can’t help but see; in the table booth by the window is beauty. Neriah! He knows that face anywhere. Her gorgeous brown eyes and her long curly hair! Neriah spots him too and all she can see is that Neas is as handsome as can be. “Nearish!” Neas says in a soft spoken tone. “Thank you for meeting me today. I hope you weren’t too long on your own.” “Hello Neas!” “I’m happy to hear what you have to say.” “Tell me how are you?” “What brings you here today?” Neas takes a deep breathe and says; “Neriah, I want to apologize sincerely for my hurtful words that day.” “You were my best friend and I should not have treated you that way.” “There is no excuse and I’m now a different man.” “I would like for us to try and give this a second chance.” “Is it possible you think? For us to say goodbye to the past?” Neriah stares into his eyes and sees he’s being sincere. “Well.” She says; “it’s been so long. After all it is almost Christmas!” “Isn’t that what it’s really about?” “Letting love chase away doubt?” “Trying to forgive someone for past mistakes?” “Taking it slow and rebuilding trust; whatever it takes?” “Your words hurt me deeply Neas but I must admit; my friendship with you, I have deeply missed.” Neas is surprised as he was expecting a no. What happens next? Come back tomorrow!!!!!!
