Beautiful End

The storm

Elvis

There  she stood, for a moment I couldn't believe my eyes and I thought I was going insane even, but the constant beating of my heart told me that I was not dreaming and that I was alive and well.

Same brown beautiful eyes, smooth legs, wavy hair, chocolate skin, yep, it was definitely her. She wore a short cream dress that left so much to be desired.

She stood in  the doorway looking as dashing as the day I thought I had lost her forever.
I slammed the door out of pure shock and run inside screaming ghost , ghost , as I went for my phone to call my mom.

Before you begin to judge me and call me a whiny, put your place in my shoes and imagine for a second that you were in your room probably after a hectic workout at the gym, you came back home and took a shower, after which you decided to take a rest on the sofa.

Whiles you were there, there's a knock at the door which startles you and makes you jump up and yet you go to answer it.
You open the door preparing to give whoever was at the door a piece of your mind when you stop in your tracks.

Standing in the doorway is the love of your life whom you never got to tell how you felt because right before your eyes, she had died.
And after so many years of longing for her and wanting to have her back, she appears on your doorstep, what would be your first reaction?.
Exactly, that's what I did, I ran as she came in, looking at me carefully as if she was scared to speak, and if she spoke I would shatter, I ran out leaving her in my house, not caring what happened afterwards.

She kept shouting for me to come back and listen to her, but I wasn't about to listen to a ghost.
I ran and I mean I ran, after I was sure I would collapse if I ran again, I headed home and sat on the stairs refusing to go inside for fear of seeing her.

Mom got home shortly after with that Doctor friend of hers. She tried to get me to talk but I refused and instead pointed with my hand the direction of the house.

She went inside as she was followed by her friend, I followed behind, making sure to bolt if she was indeed a ghost.
Mom froze in the doorway when she saw her, yes!, my reaction exactly.

Mom stood there for sometime before she ventured inside and sat beside her. " She's not a ghost ", she said as I gathered enough courage to enter the room fully.

She was sitting in one of the couches in the living room, with her legs crossed as she looked me over, as if checking me out.

I watched her, wondering where she had been all this years when I thought she was dead, all this years when I have been grieving for her, all this years when I wished she was here with me, and now she shows up here like there's nothing wrong, and expect me to accept her back just like that, no, things don't work that way.

Suddenly she stood up, I drew nearer,she walked closer to me, then before she could get closer enough to touch me, she stopped and spoke " Its a long story Elvis ,and I know I owe you an explanation for disappearing on you just like that, without letting you know what was going on, and appearing after many years out of the blue moon". "I know it's so much to take in but can you please listen to me and find it in your heart to forgive me?.

She was on her knees and I didn't know what to do, for Christ's  sake, I thought she was dead, and how the hell did she know where I was, we moved right after her alleged burial and now who was the body we buried in her stead?.

A lot of questions was running through my head as I felt my heart beating in anticipation. What do I do?  Mom was watching me without a word to see my reaction, and her friend the Doctor, was standing in the doorway completely at sea as to what was going on.

I took two long strides to where she was kneeling, and then helped her up, I sat her down on the couch as Mom and her friend excused themselves, leaving us once again alone.

After they had left, we sat there, not saying anything, but just starring at each other until, I got up and sat far away from her, start talking, I told her as she began to explain.

I was in for a long night.
