| �You call not eating normal? You call not sleeping normal?� �Who�s been talking to you?� �AJ, I�m staying with Nick. Sides, Josephine tells me how you are. What�s so wrong that you are doing this to yourself?� �You.� �What?� �Theresa, you�re the most important thing to me. When you walked out that door, I don�t know, I died inside. I can�t make it live again. I realized what I had thrown away. And I realized just how stupid I was. Without you in my life, I have nothing.� I glanced at him and walked over to his side. �Listen to me, I never said I was leaving you. I just needed time to get away.� �You just as good as left.� I looked into his eyes and lost all my self control. I felt the tears start racing down my cheeks and I felt his arms around me. �God baby, please, let me have one more chance. Let me show you that you are all I need. All I could ever need and want.� �God AJ, it�s been so long. I never stopped loving you, you know that? It killed me everyday to be away from you.� �I know baby. Please, let me show you just how much you mean to me.� I looked in this eyes once again and leaned in for his kiss. �Baby, you can show me anything.� He smirked and picked me up in his arms. He softly laid me down on the bed and kissed my eyes, my nose and finally my lips. I felt his hands slowly unbutton my shirt and he pulled back. �I love you Theresa.� �I love you to Alex.� A year later, I was waddling through the house and stepped out into the back yard. I watched the guys play football and saw Josephine cheering for her father. I rolled my eyes as I heard the door bell ring. �Coming,� I called out. I waddled over to the door and opened it. �Mrs. McLean?� I stared at the young girl and smiled to myself. �That�s me.� �Sign here please?� I shook my head and grabbed the paper and signed it. �Thank you and have a wonderful day.� I opened the package and looked inside. I gasped and nearly dropped the box. Inside was a wonderful Ruby braclet and earring set. I set down the box and waddled over to the mirror and put on the earrings. �The look wonderful on you,� AJ said, laying his hands on my stomach and his head on my shoulder. �Thank you so very much baby. I love them.� �I�m glad you like them. Now, you�re going to have to model them for me later.� I laughed and smacked his arm. �Go, I gotta make the dinner.� He went back outside and I sat down at the kitchen table. I thought back to that faithful day and just thought how it could have all changed. You�re never to old to make mistakes. And you�re never to old to forgive people. And there�s no such thing as a tear too late. |
