One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 178: The Revelation

"So what do you want to tell me?" I asked her the moment I sat down across her seat inside the coffee shop. I've already ordered some drinks and pastries before walking to her chosen table.

She lowered her gaze and I frowned when she sighed.

"Sam..." Fidgeting her fingers, she then started opening her mouth but then stopped and sighed again.

"I won't eat you, I'm not a monster, Lucy," I tried to throw a joke to lighten her mood because I noticed how tense she was in her seat.

"I'm sorry for all the things I've done to you..."

I took a deep breath. I didn't expect to hear those words from her.

"If you're only here to apologize, then I forgive you. The damage has been done and there is nothing I can do about it anymore."

"No! You should fix your relationship!"

I blinked in a slight shock when her voice came a little bit louder. She even straightened her body as she looked at me with those big round eyes.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her, wry smile immediately slipped from my lips. "How am I supposed to be able to fix it when it's already been broken --- when you've already broken it?" Even though it sounded like a joke, the sarcasm can still be heard from it. "I'm sorry," She apologized again, looking down at her fingers... again.

"Why don't you just tell me what you want or what you wanted to say so we can already talk it out? Oh, wait--- what do you have this time? Don't tell me you now have a video?"

"No, Sam, actually, I'm here to apologize," I raised an eyebrow. "Sam, it's all my fault," she stated making me stare at her with a deep frown. "Those pictures and all the things I said at the café were all lies."

My mouth dropped in mid-air as I tried to take a deep breath. My mind was still processing what she had said when she added the following lines.
