Chapter 37

It’s been a week since I moved from Kevin’s house.  I have a brand new condo which I refurnished since I’m starting over in a brand new condo.  I don’t want old memories of Kevin and what could have been.

When I laid down I had a lot on my mind, with all the preparations and moving I hadn’t thought about Shaun and how his father was doing.  I picked up my cell phone and dialed his number.

“Hello”

“Shaun?  I sorry were you asleep?”

“No just sitting with my father here at the hospital.”

“How is he doing?”

“Not too good, he had another heart attack and he had open heart surgery a week ago.  They aren’t expecting him to survive.”

“Oh Shaun I’m so sorry to hear that.  I know it must be really hard for you right now.”

“Yeah I’m handling it pretty well, but my sisters aren’t taking it very well.”

“Well I can’t say I know what you all are going through, but I will be praying for your family.”

“Thanks, that means a lot to me;  I’m glad to hear from you.  I thougth you would never forgive me, but I have to put that in the back of my mind until my father get’s better.”

“I’m not still upset with you Shaun, I just had too much going on and when Kevin and I decided to get married, we both decided we needed to start with a clean slate.”

“I understand Nikki, really I do.”

“Thank you Shaun.”

“You don’t need to thank me, I just want you to be happy.  If Kevin makes you happy then I’m ok with that.”

“Well I better get off this phone.  I have work in the morning.  I was thinking about you and just wanted to give you a call to see how you and  your father was doing.”

“Well we are doing the best we can under these circumstances.  It was great hearing your voice.  Take care Nikki and I wish you great success in with your marriage.”

“I appreciate that and you take care of yourself.  I hope your father will make a turn for the better.  Take care Shaun.  Bye”

“Goodbye Nikki.”

I ended the call with Shaun and laid there thinking, should I have told him about Kevin and me?  I wanted to, but I don’t that would have been a good idea because I don’t want him to think that we can resume where we left off.

I don’t know what to do.  Apart of me wants to try things out again with Shaun, but the other part says that’s not a good idea.  Maybe I shouldn’t be worried about jumping back into anything with Shaun or anyone else.  I think I just need some time to get myself and my thoughts together.  I laid there waiting for sleep to take over and just like that I was out.

I woke up feeling pretty good so I decided I would get ready and go to church.  It’s been a few months since I’ve been and today would be a good day to start back.  I jumped out of bed and went to the shower.  I hoped in the shower and 10 min later I was finished.
