The Best of Me

Like You'll Never See Me Again

Abel

I was at a club with my boys having a great time, when all of a sudden she appeared. It was like someone just turned on the slow motion setting. She was wearing a red dress with her long curls almost to her incredible round ass. I got up and walked over to her and sat next to her. I glanced at the corner of my eye and she was starring at me.

"What's your name ma'?"

"Christina."

Damn I wanted to get up all on that. But I gotta keep it cool, I don't want to scare her off.

"You must have a lot on your mind, if you're zoning out like that."

"So, do you want to get out of here?"

She hesitated and looked down at her drink before looking up at me.

"Sure."

I took her hand and led her through the crowd to get to the door. When I got to the door, I opened it but saw nothing but white. I went to walk back to the club but it wasn't there anymore.

"Please tell me I didn't overdose again."

"Nah fam. It's just a regular dream."

I turned around to see Lamar lighting a blunt.

"Ok, so what are you doing here dude?"

"To ask you one thing man. Why are you crawling back to her dude?"

I sighed at looked at him,"I don't know man. At first I was about to talk to her about what happened, then I saw her on the floor and I just felt hurt that she was going through this shit. I don't know what it feels like to have that condition, but it just pains me to see her like that."

I looked at the ground embarrassed about being all lovey dovey about Christina. Then I realized that it was all in my head, and that "Lamar" knew how I really felt about her.

"Imma be honest man. I think you need to let go of her man."

I looked up at him with shock.

"I can't just let her go Lamar. I love her, even after everything that happened in the past four or five years."

"Well that's just my opinion. I'm just trying to look out for you Abel. Sometimes you do stupid shit and I don't want you to get hurt again man."

I looked down again, thinking about what it would be like if I had never met Christina.

Christina

I was at a party in my penthouse. I had on a strapless black mullet dress with black heels and figured out that it was a black and white party. I looked at my hand to find a wedding ring on it. Why do I have a ring? I'm not even married. Before I could question it more, Kelley came over to me and hugged me.

"Hey Christina. Thanks for inviting me to your party."

"You're welcome. Hey, where did I get this ri-"

I heard gasping in the crowd as people were stepping out of the way for someone.

"Oh my god it's your husband."

My husband? Then I thought of my ex-fiancé and how he raped me. Please God please give me a sign that it's not him.

When he was getting closer, I looked down so I wouldn't see his face. I saw his shoes and debated on weather or not I should look up. I decided to look up and I had a shocked look on my face.
