A Player Remade (Sequel to A Player in the Remaking)

Chapter Thirty Four

I stepped out of my car and heard Bucky, Carina's dog, barking from inside the house. Not too many seconds went by before I heard Carina's loud voice yelling for him to shut up. I chuckled and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Craig." I replied.

The door slightly opened and I was only able to see a little of Carina's face. "Yes?"

"Can I come in?" I asked,

"No!" She squealed. "I look really ugly right now. My hair and makeup isn't done."

"Carina, please," I said, grabbing the door and pushing in. "I've seen you look worse."

"Thanks, asshole," She said, letting me in. "So what's up?"

"Can we talk?"

"Of course, I have nothing else to do." She giggled.

I smiled. No matter how bad things were, Carina was always there to cheer someone up. She was ninty percent always in a good mood and that's what I loved about her. "Can we talk about us?"

She smiled dropped and she started getting shaky. "What about us? I thought we got everything out before we left Mexico."

"Yeah, I did too."

"Well spit it out, Craig. What do you have to say?"

"Carina, I thought I kept telling myself that I got over you as soon as we left Mexico, but come to realize, I can't get over you."

"Keep going."

I sighed. "Man, I'm not good with this shit and you know that."

"No, Craig, Just open up. Tell me everything that you're feeling. I'm here to listen."

"Well, I'm in love with you, Carina. I miss our relationship. I know I wasn't the best boyfriend to meet your standards but I do truly miss us and it's sad that I just realized that now. I miss making you smile, I miss talking to you until I heard you snoring, and I miss being goofy and being myself around. No matter what girl I meet, I know she can't compare to you. We were in three years strong, I can't loose this relationship, Carina. I just can't."

She smiled. "Thank you, Craig, That's all that I wanted."

"What do you mean?'

"I just wanted you to open up to me and tell me how you really feel. You're always secretive and sometimes I feel like you didn't want this relationship. I want this relationship as much as you do. Breaking up with you in Mexico broke my heart but I just didn't feel the love anymore. All I want from you is to feel the love. I don't need anything else. I don't want feel like two unhappy people in a relationship. I need to know that we're both happy. I just want you to communicate with me. That's all, Craig, As long as you can do that I'm happy. I don't need anything else."

"I just feel like I failed my duty to make you happy. I still can't believe that you put up with you."

She chuckled and moved a piece of hair out of her face. "Because I love you, Craig. You don't give up on the people you love."

I couldn't help but smile. "If you are, then I'm ready to make this official again."

"Of course, Craig. Just promise me one thing."

"And what is that?"

"If you're interested act like it and if you're not just leave. Please don't leave me guessing."

I took her hand and gently kissed it. "I won't, princess."

"Now good. I have my baby back." She said, crawling into my arms.
