We didn’t talk to each other for a while. Then that night

I said," I’ll sleep on the couch tonight. ok…ok."

I went into the living room and laid down. She walked

up behind me after I feel asleep and carried me into the

room. When I woke up I realized that.  Finally she said,

"we need to talk."

‘What about?" I said avoiding eye contact.

"us, I know it has happened again."

"yeah, so?"

"Well what are we gonna do?"

"I don’t know im marring your cousin in about a week."

"I know."

"Why didn’t you ever write me back?"

"Wow that’s random. But I could ask you the same."

"What do you mean? I wrote you about a thousand times."

"Well I never got a letter from you."

"huh. Weird."

"yeah."

"Was it ever over for you?"

"no."

"Me either."

I felt a warmth in my chest I hadn’t felt for a long

Time. I knew right then i was alive again.

"Come with me." She says a smile on her face.

" Where to?"

"you’ll see, come on."

"Ok."

We went to the lake.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked.

"because I wanted to see if you remembered what happened."

"oh you mean the first place we ever went together and

actually told someone and you punched them for calling me a whore?"

"Yeah. I was hoping you would remember."

"Of course I do. How could I forget? He still cant have sex." we laugh.

"I don’t know."

We smile at each other. And I put my hand on hers. And almost kissed

her but my cell phone started ringing. I said, "damn it." Under my

breath. I answered it and it was Danny (of course).

I say," hey baby." And Ashley looks away (jealous).

"hey I just wanted to tell you I’m on the way home." Oh did I forget to

tell you he was on a trip for work or somthing. My bad.

"NO!"

"What?"

"Uh… I’m not ready is all." Lucky for me he didn’t

know I was nervous.

"Well I guess I could try and stay a little while

longer."

"Ok. See you in a few days?"

"Yeah."

"Bye." I hang up before he can say anything. I look at

Ashley. And could tell she was jealous which I kind of

Liked the thought of that. Then I said, "Sorry um

where was I?"

"well you were about to kiss me."

"oh…right." She leaned in to kiss me. I quickly turned

my head and said "We should go."

"ok" she sighs.

"Ok lets go." She knew I was nervous. When we got

home I started cooking. "what do you want to eat?"

I asked not looking at her.

"What ever your making."

"Ok."

She walked up behind me slid her arms around my

waist rested her chin on my shoulder and kissed

my neck. It felt so good to have her touch me I was

frozen. I could have stood there forever. But I was

cooking. So I couldn’t.
