Unsuccessful

Rinne Maverick..

Rinne Point of View...

I am currently sitting at my NYC apartment' living room, some random news channel is currently playing on the television, when a sudden mention of a known name catches my attention. I turn my attention towards the television set, news regarding Mark Scott is getting telecasted , my childhood friends husband's name flashes the screen of my television set. The news that is getting telecasted is regarding a car accident..

"In recent turn of events, famous industrialist and business tycoon, Mark Scott has been involved in a brutal Car accident. The accident happened when Mr. Mark Scott along with his team were on their way to Washington from Seattle. Reportedly no one has survived the brutal car accident and the locals have confirmed that the body of Mark Scott and his team members have been retrieved by the rescue team. Mark Scott was 55 years old and he is survived by his wife, age 53 and Son, Hardin Scott, age 28".

Just the mention of Hardin excites me. It has been almost 1 year since last time I saw him. Finally this incident has given me an opportunity to again get close to Hardin. I know what kind of relationship he had with Mark, with Mark' passing away, he will need some consoling. God, I miss his body. He has now completely grown in to a well built man. Last time we had sex was almost a year ago. Everytime we have sex, I just cannot get enough of him. What I had with Hardin in the past and what I will have with him in the near future will only be physical. We enjoy eachother's company without any strings attached, I don't expect anything from him except Sex and he doesn't expect anything from me except Sex. I get up from my couch and make my way towards my bedroom, I should start packing my bags, I expect to receive Lilly's call anytime soon.

As expected, the moment I brought my bags out from my wardrobe, I see Lilly calling me on my cellphone. I quickly grab my phone and answer Lilly's call.

"Hey Rinne, how are you". I smile, that's what I expected. She is sad and she is definitely calling me to deliver her news, only if she knew I already have my tickets booked and was on my way to start packing my bags. I try to fake my grief for my bestfriend, "Hey Lilly, I heard about Mark, I am sorry honey". Lilly gasps and starts crying. Hearing her cries, made me feel bad for her. "He is gone, Rinne, he is gone and there is nothing I can do. All these years, I hated him for not treating me the way he should have and I hated him for abondoning Hardin, his own son when he needed him the most and now that he has gone, I just cannot stop imagining all the good moments I had with him". She cries over the death of a man who treated her bad and she should have let go of him a long time ago, I wanted to tell her that, but, I knew what she needs currently, she needs my sympathy, so, I will give her that. All these years, the only reason I kept our friendship is because of her gorgeous son, knowing Lilly is the only weakness Hardin has, having her gives me an easy pass to make Hardin do whatever I ask him to do. Hardin will do anything to protect his mother. I packed my bags while I consoled Lilly over the phone, "Don't worry Lilly, I am on my way, I will be in Washington in no time, remember, you and Hardin are not alone in this, ok?", Lilly takes a long deep breath and thanks me for my support.

I arrive Washington in no time. When I arrived Washington, I quickly book a cab to Lilly's place. Hardin moved out about 2 years ago, so, I knew I have to wait until the ceremony to see him again. My cab arrives, I enter my cab and adjusts my luggage. The 30 minute drive from the airport to Lilly's place gave me ample amount of time to just reminisce the amazing memories I had with him, until I see him in person, his memories will keep me sane.

12 years ago...

It's Hardin' 16th Birthday. I stand with my bestfriend in her kitchen and she is telling me stories about her son. How he has recently joined his school's football program. I knew last year Hardin joined his school's swimming team. I have seen Hardin grow over the years and I must say, the boy does everything to keep him fit. I know all the athletes have amazing bodies and I know Hardin plays a lot of outdoor sports, sometimes I cannot stop to wonder, has he experienced sex yet. I mean boys of his age do start to have sex. I should ask Lilly. She is my bestfriend, she will tell me anything and I know Lilly is very close to Hardin, so, Hardin will tell her if he is dating any girl in his school. "So Lilly, Hardin turns 16 now, I believe you should have a talk with him about STD' and about safe sex. You don't want your son to be knocking up his girlfriend at his teenage years", with my statement, Lilly starts to laugh. "Well, I don't need to have that conversation with him Renne. One I know my son is not seeing any girl, he is focussed on his studies and on his extra curricular activities and Two they will have sex education classes starting from next term, I believe he will learn everything about safe and protected sex before he goes to college", I nod. Hardin wishes to go to London for his higher studies. I only have 2 years with him. If he is not seeing any girl, then I believe he is still a virgin. I need to do this now. This is the perfect opportunity for me. He is 16 already. "Where he is now, did he went out with his friends", Lilly shakes her head.."He is in his bedroom, probably opening his gifts". I nod. I know Lilly will be going out, every year on Hardin' birthday, after his birthday party gets over, Lilly visits the church to distribute food and clothes to orphan children. This year, I will make an exception. I will not go with her. Instead I will make a quick visit to her 16 year old son, I will wait until she goes.
