As I walked to the kitchen I noticed something on the refrigerator. It was a note from Cody saying ‘IF YOU GO, DO NOT COME BACK’ my stomach dropped as I could not figure what to do because I had planned my trip and I was looking forward to meet Ryan. As I read the note I didn’t know what to do, I was just thinking maybe I should ignore or reply. I ignored the note and left the house, I had made up my mind I was going to Paris, and at least I was going for business and not pleasure.
I landed safely in Paris(the city of love), the atmosphere sent a sensual feeling through my spine and I felt like I was home. I couldn’t wait to see Ryan, and I was also thinking about Cody’s note. I took a taxi and headed to Ryan’s apartment. As I got to Ryan’s apartment, the apartment didn’t change, the chairs, the smell, everything was still the same way I left them 3years ago after Ryan and I had a sad breakup.
We went straight to business, we left Ryan’s apartment and went to Carrefour Market De Paris Maubeuge to get some materials we needed to work with. As we walk through the stores, I remembered when Ryan and I use to hold hands and walk side by side swinging our carrier bags in the market. After buying all we needed we stopped to have some refreshments. Ryan held my hands and said he was sorry, he was sorry for breaking my heart. I was happy that Ryan finally accepted he was the one that broke us up… It was drizzling and we rushed back to Ryan’s apartment. It was raining before me got there and we were soaked. As we were running up the stairways my phone was ringing, it was my sister calling. I ignored it and ran up to meet Ryan…
Ryan’s apartment was so warm and cozy, I felt like jumping on the bed. He walked up to me and held my hand, I stood up and he held my waist and we slowly start to sway to imaginary music… the kind that can make you cry unexpectedly, even when you’re not in the mood to cry. I could tell Ryan was thinking of the past, so was I. I am going to follow my heart, wherever it leads. I owe it to myself and everyone.
We kissed, as we were about to caress my phone rang. I was scared, I thought it was Cody calling to tell me the marriage was over, and to my surprise it was my sister. I picked the call and she asked me “Where are you?” I told her I was with Ryan; she screamed and told me to leave that place immediately. She was angry with me; I told her I had come for business. She asked me if I still loved my husband and I said yes…Guilt couldn’t allow me stay an extra second in Ryan’s apartment, so I left.
The taxi driver asked where I was going and I remembered our old apartment, where Cody and I were staying before we relocated to Monaco. I told the driver to take me there. As I got there I noticed some people had moved in. I sat on the staircase and brought out my phone and called Cody. My heart was pounding; I said Hi and Cody responded to me lively. I told him I was sorry that I needed to go, when he didn’t respond I told him to guess where I was. He said ‘Where?’ I said our old apartment. He was like ‘Really?’ My heart was pounding and I asked Cody if he hated. He said he still loved me…
I noticed a cab stopping in front me, then the door swings open and Cody appeared before me. For a while I was confused in a thrilling way, it later sank in that Cody got on the plane to see me. Cody walked up to me and said ‘Baby, I love and I will always love you’. As I hugged and kissed Cody, tears were flowing from my eyes. Cody said ‘let’s go home baby’. Till date I don’t talk to Ryan anymore, He is in my past and I leave it like that. I will always cherish and adore Cody.
