| "He was so taken with you that night he almost forgot he had a girlfriend,"John said. "It took him two years to actually get around to doing anything about it." "That's not what you're really mad about is it?" "I'm mad because he made no effort to stop me." "You asked him for time. He gave it to you. He did what you needed him to do. I know you love him. I can still see that fire." "I'm scared John." "I understand but my question is do you want to be an old lady with fifty six cats she talks to or do you wanna spend it with a man that would give you the world and then some?" "Nice image." "I had to get your attention. He'll be home in a week. They've got a few weeks before they set out on the overseas dates." "I'll call him." "I think you should settle things with the young un too. He took it harder than Howie." "I find that hard to believe." "He did. Tell me something Tam?" "Yeah?" "Did you find what you were looking for?" "I think so." John noticed the writing on her computer screen."Whatcha got going there?" She slid in front of the computer screen."Nothing." "Tam. It's not nice to hide things from your friends." "This is something my friend's don't need to see just yet okay?" "You sure?" "I'll show you when it's done okay?" "Okay. I'm gonna go now." "You know the way out." "You thought I was gonna move." "I tried. Call him." "I will." "You'll be thanking me fifty years from now when you have four kids and 12 grandchildren." "You're funny. Get out of here." "Oh alright. I'll go but I'd better be seeing a diamond in your future." "That's up to your brother." "I have my ways with him too." "Goodbye,"she shooed him out of the house. She sat down in front of the computer screen and started typing where she'd finished off before she was interrupted. Just let me do it right this time she prayed. |
