�Why do you need deals?�
�I don�t want you to give me the money.  I would have to pay you back and that�s a debt I don�t think I could pay.  Brian, if we were to break it off, then what?�  I sighed and grabbed her hand.
�I�ll make this easy on both of us��
�Brian, I�m not breaking us up.  I just need time, time to get things in order.�
�Theresa��
�Forget it.  I thought you understood.  You of all people.  I guess I was wrong.  Just forget I needed space.  We�re through Brian. That simple.�  She slammed her napkin down and ran out of the restaurant. -

*~* In the words of a broken heart/ It's just emotion that's taken me over/ Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul/ But if you don't come back/ Come home to me, darling/ Don�t you know there's nobody left in this world/ to hold me tight/ Don�t cha know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight/ Goodnight, goodnight *~*


And here I am.  Nursing a drink that I thought I needed.  Maybe I didn�t need it.  Oh hell, who knows what I need.  I glanced back at the people and smiled.  I tried to picture them in the future.  Would they be together?  Would they be married?  Have kids?  Yet, I couldn�t.  I learned that nothing was certain.  Life was life and it dealt you what it felt like.  I learned that the hard way.  Things don�t go as planned.  I tried to smile and yet, I knew I didn�t really get to.  Forgetting someone you loved with every fiber of you, just wasn�t easy.  I don�t know why I even tried.  Though, I was thankful I didn�t have any tours soon.  That would have killed me.

*~* And where are you now, now that I need you?/ Tears on my pillow wherever you go/ I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean/ You never see me fall apart/ In the words of a broken heart/ It's just emotion that's taken me over/ Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul/ But if you don't come back/ Come home to me, darling/ Nobody left in this world/ To hold me tight/ Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight/ Goodnight, goodnight *~*

I finally got the courage to leave and walked back to my house.  I took the long way and let the night air and the ocean�s breeze cool my temper.  I knew I was going to move on.  I stopped short as I saw someone sitting my front step.  I was seeing things, I swear!  Or maybe not.  A vision, all dressed up in a satin red dress that clung to her every curve walked up and stood a few feet from me.  I took a slow breath, praying I wasn�t losing my mind.  She held out her hand and I gently took it.  �No, not seeing things.�  I smiled and she smiled back. 
�Theresa,� I breathed out.  She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me the sweetest kiss. 
�I didn�t want to end us Bri, can�t you see that?  I was dying inside.  But, if I have your name with mine trying to get money, 4you think I will?�
�No honey, you won�t.  And I can see where you�re coming from.  I�m just sorry that I couldn�t give it to you.�
�I�m not sure if you have to anymore.  But no more talk tonight.  Right now, let�s just make up.�  Once more she pressed her lips against mine.  I picked her up and took her into the house.  Once I set her down, she ran upstairs, me slowly following her.  All through the course of time, I realized when you�re playing with fire, you�re playing with emotion.
