| I was looking around for the perfect book, something on managing. I was working on my term paper, or trying to work on it, I should say. It wasn�t easy, but the class was almost done, so I was happy. I grabbed the book and walked over to the place I was seating. I grabbed my pen and started jotting down notes. I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders, turning me around. I turned and stared into a pair of wonderful green eyes. �Hey baby,� my boyfriend of one year said. �Hey Kevin. What are you up to?� �Figured you could use some company,� he said, lightly kissing my lips, �Oh, thanks, but I�m just doing some research. Do you really want to watch me while I�m doing that?� �How long is it going to take?� I smiled and laughed. �Not to long baby.� He smiled and kissed my lips yet again. �Just think Resa, a couple more months and we�re be done. On our way to Florida.� I frowned and looked over at him. �I don�t want to go there. I thought we said we were going to Las Vegas.� He shook his head. �Yes Kevin. I�m not moving to Florida. End of discussion.� �If we�re getting married you need to respect my decision.� �I don�t have to. My life is what I choose to make it. No one makes it for me.� �If that�s how you feel.� �It is. Here�s your ring back. Bye Kevin.� I quickly grabbed my stuff and left. Graduation night was the last time I saw him. I sat at my desk and stared at my diploma. I heard the voices outside the door. My staff was wondering about me. I stood up and opened the door. �So you know, Kevin is an ex of mine. We were supposed to get married but things change. Anything else?� �No Theresa,� my secretary said. �Good.� I shook my head and got ready for a very important interview. I gathered the questions and went into the interviewing room. I sat down and prepared myself. A few moments later the door opened and in walked five young me. I smiled and they smiled back. �Theresa?� both Brian and Kevin asked. �Hi guys. How are you?� I asked Brian, giving him a hug. �I�m great, and you?� "Fine. Kevin, you look good.� I gave him a hug and knew these next few hours were going to be hard. �You look great. So, you finally did get your magazine?� �I told you I would. Are you guys ready?� As the interview came to an end, I felt lonely. I bid goodbye to the guys and walked out behind them. �Theresa?� I stopped and looked at Kevin. �Would you like to join me for dinner?� �Of course. Just let me call my sitter.� I walked over to the nearest phone and dialed up my house. �Megan? Hey, look, I ran into an old friend so I was wondering if you could watch him for a little longer. Of course. Just dinner and some talking. Okay, great, thanks.� I hung up the phone and walked back to Kevin. �Where do you want to go?� I looked at Kevin and took him in. He was much cuter then what I remembered him as. His hair was growing out and it made his green eyes stand out even more. His goate was growing out and he truly looked good. I glanced down and wondered about the last few years of my life. �Theresa?� I quickly glanced up and smiled at him. �I�m sorry. I was just thinking.� �It�s okay. What have you been up to?� I sighed and smiled. �Well, I got my magazine. Been married, had a kid, and been divorced. And not even 30 yet. Other then my ex-husband, life is treating me well. And you?� �Hmm, got my group, been married, getting divorced, and no kids.� �I thought you loved Kristian?� �I did. But, she often complained she was fighting a ghost.� �A ghost?� �The ghost of love. It�s when the person you�re with and they know you loved someone before them. Sides, you were my first love. I could just forget about you. So, why did you and your husband split?� �Well, we really didn�t love each other, so, he started cheating and you know I don�t stand for that.� �Oh, I know.� I glanced at my watched and groaned. �Kevin, I have to get home. My sitter needs to leave. You�re more then welcome to come over.� �I would love to.� �Thanks again Megan.� �You�re more then welcome Theresa.� She waved and walked out to her car. I glanced at Joe standing on the stairs and smiled. �Hey honey. Couldn�t sleep?� He shook his head and rubbed his eyes. �Okay, I�ll put you to bed. Come on Kevin. You can help me sing.� He smiled and followed me up the stairs. I put Joe in bed and tucked him in. I started singing a song and Kevin joined in. I watched Joe and he slowly closed his yes. I sang to him for a few more minutes and finally heard his soft snore. I smiled and kissed his forehead. I turned the light off and closed the door. I walked down the stairs and sat on the couch. �I�ve enjoyed this time with you Kevin.� �So did i. Do you ever think about us?� �All the time.� �Me too.� He touched my cheek and slowly leaned in. He kissed me and slowly pulled away. �Could we start again?� |
