She was standing up, threw the flowers on the ground and her fists balled up on either sides of her body. Ivy’s eyes got glassy, and tears were begging to fall from her eyes.
                  I walked over to stand in front of her, and she lowered her head and covered her eyes and I could hear her quiet cry. I unzipped my jacket and pulled it off and threw it on the chair she was sitting on. “Ivy.” I whispered.
                  “No, just leave. I know I must of looked pretty stupid the other day. Don’t worry, I never said anything to anyone. Please stop trying to make me feel worse. I really can’t take much more of this. Please.” She pleaded softly. Listening to her made my heart break a little more for her. I don’t know what came over me really, I just did what I felt. I tilted her chin up with my fingers and made her look up at me. I cupped her face with my hands, and dragged the pads of my thumbs across her tears. I leaned down and brought my lips to hers and waited. I first looked in her eyes, and then I closed mine.              Looking back down to her eyes searching for answers. “I am not playing a joke. You are not a joke. Or pathetic.” I ran the pad of my thumb across her lower lip, all pouty looking. I licked my lips looking at hers. “Your just sad and hurt and lonely. And there is nothing wrong with those feelings. We all get them. I haven’t made anything easier for you. I am the pathetic one. I am the joke. Not you. Please believe me Ivy. My intentions tonight at sincere. I don’t mean any disrespect to your brother. I swear to God. I whispered. I brushed her nose with mine, and leaned in and gently kissed her lips. Very softly, I didn’t want to frighten her more. I kissed her again and this time she kissed me back. Nothing crazy. Just two small kisses and I felt something for her. I don’t know what but I could feel the energy between us. “I know I don’t deserve your trust. But I would really, really hope you could just give me one more chance. I promise, I won’t let you down.” I said to her, looking into her eyes.
                  Ivy kept looking at me. Trying to decide if she could really trust me. I was really hoping she would just give me one more chance. She closed her eyes and pulled back from me. She bent down and picked up the flowers and looked back up to me. She brought the flowers to her nose, smelling them, she smiled and looked back up at me. “Ok, last chance Dominic.” She said softly. Making me smile.             
                  I kept smiling at her. “Really? You sure?” I asked, double checking. She nodded and chuckled a little.
                  “I look terrible. I can’t go looking like this.” She stated.             
                  “You look fine. If you want to change, I will wait. No rush. Do what ever you want. It’s pizza and a movie right? That’s the tradition?” I asked making sure.
                  Ivy nodded and smiled again. “Yeah, every year was pizza and movie. She laughed. Her laugh sounded soothing. Her laugh relieved my tension and sorrow for hurting her.              
                  You go change and do whatever. When you are ready we can go to any movie and any place you can think of for pizza. Pizza happens to be my favorite food in the world, so I can give you at least twelve choices, depending on what you are in the mood for.” I explained.
                  “Ok, let me go put these in water. This was really thoughtful. Thank you for this.” Ivy whispered the last sentence. Almost seemed like she was afraid to say the words. “I’m honored you are giving me one more chance.” I said with a wink.
                  “Ok, give me a few minutes. I will be right out.” Ivy said as she walked into her kitchen area and grabbed a vase in the cabinet. Walking
