As I read the words, a sense of relief washed over me.
We were finally going to have a chance to talk about everything that happened and sort out the unspoken issues between us.
Quickly noting down the location and time, I made preparations to ensure I was punctual and prepared for our encounter.
The mere thought of meeting Angela filled me with energy, as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders, but at the same time, it filled me with nervousness and dread.
What if she wanted to end things between us?
I tried to comfort myself that if she truly wanted to end things between us, she would not have requested for us to meet.
I shook my head.
But what if she wanted us to meet so she could end our relationship to my face?
I shook my head once again and placed a hand on my forehead.
There was no point in working myself over the unknown, especially when I was going to find out at our meeting.
With a mix of hope, determination, and nervousness, I prepared for the important meeting.
We had decided to be completely honest.
No more hiding.
Besides my involvement in the mafia, there was nothing else I needed to keep from Angela.
Whatever the outcome, I was ready to face it with honesty.
As I left for the meeting with Angela, a whirlwind of emotions stirred within me.
Excitement and lingering fears created a unique blend of anticipation and nervousness.
I still felt unsure about what would happen, but after three long days apart, my longing to see her outweighed my fears.
********
I was nervous.
Admitting my true feelings was a daunting task that filled me with nerves.
I anxiously waited in the restaurant Angela had suggested for our meeting.
Although I was used to upscale venues due to my wealth and status, I couldn't shake the discomfort I felt in this simple establishment.
Out of respect for Angela's choice, I didn't insist on going elsewhere, despite my reservations about the place.
The fact that she had reached out to me after learning about my family's involvement in the mafia both relieved and worried me deeply.
At that moment, the location mattered less than the important conversation we were about to have.
As I sat at the table, awaiting Angela's arrival, a waitress approached with a flirtatious gleam in her eyes, which made me frown.
She leaned in, trying to be seductive, but I remained polite yet distant.
I paid her no mind, keeping my attention fixed on the door, eagerly awaiting Angela's arrival.
"Good evening, sir," The waitress purred.
