Ordinary Life

Mr. Hernandez

February 8, 2015

I sat at my eight seater dining room table, just looking at a dinner that I made for myself. I leaned my head on the palm of my hand, and I just played with my food with my fork. It's been a week since I last spoke to Bruno. Maybe he really didn't want to be with me anymore. I tried to fully understand that idea, but I always wondered, if only I didn't do this or do that...maybe I wouldn't be in this situation.

My doorbell rang, and I wasn't expecting anything. I looked out the peep hole, but the person on the other side of the door, was covering it.

I opened the door, and saw Bruno. "Bruno what are you doing here?" I asked. Bruno made me move back inside and he slammed the door behind him. He grabbed my face, and kissed me harshly.

I didn't stop him, matter of fact, I wanted him to keep going. "Bruno..." He kissed my neck, and he was practically uncontrollable. "Bruno!" I shouted.

He immediately stopped, once I raised my voice. "What the hell are we doing?" I asked. I wiped my hands on my shirt and my mouth and he said, "I know I should've said it before, but I didn't know how to say it before. Genevieve, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for anything and everything I've done that may have hurt you. When watching that video, of us..." He seemed embarrassed to say it. "Having sex." He mumbled, "It made me think...I want this all again, but with you."

"So your way of approaching things, such as an apology, you come at me with force?" I asked. "I'm sorry." He said.

"Bruno." I paused, trying to find the right words to say. "I still have strong feelings for you, but everything has put a space between us." Bruno ran his fingers through my hair, "Nothing can put a space between us, unless we allow it to happen. That's why we broke up. We allowed the space to pull us apart."

"I just want to start over. A fresh, brand new start." I said. "I want that too." Bruno smiled.

"Hello, Ms. Reynolds, you look beautiful this evening." I laughed at his humor. "Why, thank you Mr. Hernandez." "You know Ms. Reynolds, I'd love to take you out on a date." He said. "I'd love to go to on a date with you Mr. Hernandez."

I laughed at the joke we were playing. "Where would you like to go?" Bruno held my hands. "Take me to the stars. Where there is mystery and hope and pure happiness." I whispered. "Your wish is my command." Bruno kissed my forehead.
