After the meeting yesterday J drove me home because I had took a taxi up to The Golden Arch. He walked me up to my door, "Present, I want to give you something." He reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a very small box, "I know that it may be too soon but, I wanted you to have it now." I opened the box to a gold chain that you could tell was very old. At the end of the chain layed a heart that had a Silver (2k) Diamond in top right corner of it. It was so beautiful. "Where did you uhm" "It was my Moms antique necklace that my Father got her during there rough times." "It is so amazing I can't accept this."
He step behind me, pulls my hair back "When my Dad put it on my Mom he always said this small quote that made Mom start to cry... He said something like this Some prayers find an answer and some prayers you will never know but I'm holding on to you and I'm never letting go, you are my wings to my body, if you let go and fly so do I." He looks down into my eyes and leans in... But today, was only the begging.. J slept over at my house last night..........
****************************
The light was just coming In through the windows brightening up on his back..
Every breath he took my heart beated a little slower. Every time he moved I moved to. He moves I move, like magnets.. And when he needs his space I'm always here patiently waiting. And in the end he is still my friend. He moves over toward me "I'm not giving up on us because we still have a lot to learn. I'm going to give you all of my love. I am not letting no ex wife get in between us again." He gets up then looks back into my eyes, "You are my only one."

My life was going good and then something magical happend... Mom calls, "I was going to ask you if you wanted to get any of your old stuff out of my house?" ? "What?"
"Yea, haven't you seen today's newspaper?" "No?" "I sold the house." "Your kidding"
"I was looking at my reflection in the window coming home and I realized that this house has been with us for too long and it has so many memories of your father well, I just decided that it would be a good idea if w-" "We sell it.."
My eyes were filling. And she was silent.. She hung up.
Damn it.. My phone viberates, J texts me saying "You ready?"
What was he talking about be ready for what? "What am I supposed to be ready for again?" "Will you come with me to meet my parents tommorow night?" Oh my god! Is this moving too fast!? Yes, it is or maybe not.. I don't know.. Should I reply with Yes, or not a good idea, I'll be there, or I'll think about it? .. I slept on it and by the time I woken up it was morning. Saturday morning. I reached for my phone, "Be there in a few;)"
I typed it exactly like that.. I started to dial for my best friends number. Lindsey, my highschool best friend and my cousin. We are still in touch but not as much as we used to be, mostly because of her boyfriend.. "Hey Present!, what makes you start to crawl back?" "Actually I need your advice on what i should where for meeting my boyfriends parents tonight." "Absolutely, where should we meet?"
"Ross's"
