Sorry I have been busy for awhile practicing for polyfest and enjoying my summer at the beach.Thank you for being patient and enjoy this chapter:).

        Mahalo.

  "Bonnie" he said in a low voice, catching his breath. His voice all too much the same, all too much the same as those days. "I saw you walking out" *breathes* "and I thought" *breathes* "maybe- maybe we could- we could catch up."

Catch up on what? There's nothing to catch up on. God why now? I didn't mean this soon?!. I smiled awkwardly at him, he's a whole lot taller than before. What is this? Everyone growing taller than me, like okay sure 5'10 is pretty tall for a woman my age, but seriously Letto and Keanu are almost the same height.

"Sorry I really have to go, maybe next time" I turned away, walking and biting my lip.

"Wait. What about tomorrow for lunch?" I gritted my teeth.

"Yeah okay that's fine. Nice to see you." Without thinking, I agreed.

Walking my fastest in a calmly matter to my car, I let out a breath of relief.

He's gotten a lot more good looking, I have to admit, his eyes are the same as Arians. God, Arian!. I turned on my car and started driving home. He was literally here, In front of my face, breathing, talking, looking the same as before. He's here.

  Arriving home to Arian eating his chicken quesadilla mom made, his smiley face said it all that he enjoyed his food.

"Hey sweetie" I kissed my moms cheek.

"Hi mom" I sat down by Arian on the kitchen table. "So today I ran into someone, or well he ran after me."

She looked up. "Keanu, he's here and he wants me to go with him for lunch tomorrow and talk and catch up and I don't know mom." I took a sip of Arians water.

"Well calm down it's not the end of the world. E leai seisi ga faiaku ia oe e fai se Pepe ae lea ua kupu gei falekogu." (Nobody told you to go and get pregnant and now there's a problem). She's mad, my mom mad and when she gets mad she speaks In Samoan. She shook her head in dissatisfaction.

"I know mom but it just happened, mom tell me what to do." My nerves are starting.

"Just talk to him and tell him the truth, better tell him now than later or you'll regret it." She was right, he is leaving after the whole company thing with Letto, and he's just here for business right? What could possibly go wrong?. I brushed off the fact he's here with his fiancé, another Victoria secret model looking girl.

Cleaning up the kitchen and getting Arian ready for bed, I bid my mother a safe night as she goes into work at the hospital. Thank goodness I have this new job and a pretty good top paying job not to mention. This could help paying rent, my car and my moms, and basically everything that is necessary for the house. It could also help my mom out, and someday not make her work anymore because she comes home every morning exhausted.

I love my mom dearly and I hate to see her when she had a rough night when one of her patients didn't make it, she doesn't like talking about them and I totally respect her. Sometimes when she gets off early and I wake up at that time I walk in the kitchen to her sitting alone, eating looking tired and stressed and sad. I don't bother her but leave her, she has a lot of people to take care of and she doesn't need me talking to her about them when she's home.
I pray every night she makes it through her shift and come home safely on the road.

Making my way upstairs with Arian in my arms sound asleep, I look at his face and all I can see is the reflection of Keanu. I thought about all of the choices I made, and I just wonder what if I did tell him that day. Things would be a whole lot different now, I know Keanu would've stayed, he would've been a great father, but I would've kept him back from football, college, he was accepted to many colleges. Then to hear from Letto he stayed in Hawaii and didn't play, I felt kind of disappointed in him.
