I will light up a cigarette on occasions, especially when I’m stressed beyond my own comprehension. I was a heavy smoker and what I call heavy smoking was a puff or two, maybe three, then dispose of the cigarette. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;I started smoking at an early age; I was 11 going on twelve when it all began. I loved the way I felt, it was great, and of course I felt so grown. I was a woman (a woman scared to kiss a boy because I thought I would get pregnant. hee hee).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;That was until my best friend, my other friend and I got caught...OMG…were we in trouble!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;My mom was so disappointed in me; I felt horrible, (“it could also have been the beating my mom gave me.”) Anyway I was grounded for the whole summer.  My best friend was sent to a nun camp and the other wench was outside the next day, waving hi. Can you believe it, waving hi, smiling like nothing ever happened?  Yeah, like I really want to be her friend now…trader of the worst kind!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;So you think that I would have learned my lesson on that summer of 83, but no, I didn’t. What I did learn was that girls with extremely big foreheads were NOT trustworthy…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-261452544439910818?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/261452544439910818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=261452544439910818' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/261452544439910818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/261452544439910818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/lesson-learn.html' title='LESSON LEARN'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SGRAdPF3hJI/AAAAAAAAAJY/8IpFDGsEF8Q/s72-c/ist1_5317715-smoking-kills.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-6717745250708364620</id><published>2008-06-25T22:18:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-25T22:37:46.461-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love Story'/><title type='text'>LOVE STORY(THE PAST)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SGMA8Fq_ayI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/H9jVR1358R8/s1600-h/ja_rek070100083.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SGMA8Fq_ayI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/H9jVR1358R8/s400/ja_rek070100083.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216013825739811618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;Ashley sat by the window looking at the scenery, it was cold out and it looked as if it was going to snow.  She had to see Nick&lt;/span&gt;, she needed to explain to him her reasons for leaving and that she still loved him.  Nick did not want to see her and she could not blame him. “I need to find a way to see him,” she thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;Carrie was on the phone when Nick grabbed her from behind&lt;/span&gt;.  She stopped him before things got out of hand&lt;s&gt;s&lt;/s&gt;; he sat down, pouting like a child and Carrie smiled at him and continued her conversation.  Nick stared at her from behind.   He liked what he saw and desire rushed through his body -he wiped his forehead and sighed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;Nick arrives back at his office to see the light on his answering machine on; he ignores the light on the answering machine and deletes all of the messages.  He is happy and he does not want anything or anyone to damper his mood.  “Nick&lt;/span&gt;,” a voice said from behind him.   He stood there; he could not, nor wanted to, turn around.  He recognized the voice.  “Ashley,” he said.  He turned, not wanting to see her, his heart was pounding, wanting to escape his chest.  “What are you doing here, Ashley, you should have known not to come!”  He finally saw her, nothing about her has changed and he felt the hole in his heart and the pain that he tried so hard to get away from resurfaced as if it was yesterday.   “Nick, I’m sorry if I am here unannounced but you wouldn’t see me.  I’m in town for a while and I needed to see you.”  “Ashley, please go!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;Ashley walked out, she felt the tears burning her eyes &lt;/span&gt;- she expected his reaction.  The look in his eyes, the pain, she never meant to hurt him. Ashley thought about the day she left, she had to leave if she had stayed.  She knew that she would have married him and put her dreams on hold. In the end, the love she felt would have turned into resentment, but now she is ready for the life he wanted for them, but will he ever forgive her?   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" class="EC_MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-size:12;" &gt;Carrie was drinking a glass of wine when Nick arrived, his face pal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;e and by the way he looked, she knew something was wrong.  “We need to talk, something happened today and I think you should know about it.”  Carrie sat down, a look&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; of concern on her face, “Nick, is everything alright with you?”   Carrie was concerned; she has never seen Nick this way before.  Nick told her everything that happened that afternoon. Carrie felt a sigh of relief.  He is physically well and nothing was wrong at work.  Nevertheless, she had bigger things to worry about now.   Carrie was wondering what this meant, is her relationship in trouble now?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-6717745250708364620?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/6717745250708364620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=6717745250708364620' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/6717745250708364620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/6717745250708364620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/love-storythe-past.html' title='LOVE STORY(THE PAST)'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SGMA8Fq_ayI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/H9jVR1358R8/s72-c/ja_rek070100083.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-6583874946698319347</id><published>2008-06-24T22:30:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-24T22:59:25.729-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rambling'/><title type='text'>AVERAGE GIRL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SGG0hip19BI/AAAAAAAAAIw/VLCBKEg6qec/s1600-h/valery_potapova070900075.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

They had spoken maybe once or twice since they last saw each other but it was business.  Carrie was confused and upset, but she was not about to ask him anything about that night.  Nick was in his office when his secretary told him there was someone to see him.  When he asked who it was, he made up some excuse - he did not want to see his visitor, “Ashley”.  He stood in his office frozen, not able to move.  The memories of their last night together came back to mind as if it was yesterday - he had asked Ashley to marry him - the next day she was gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had to leave; he needed to clear his head.  At that moment, Carrie too went for a walk.  Nick was walking - his thoughts were about Ashley. He didn’t know what to do, he was angry and had many questions to ask her but was he ready to face her, ready to face a past he’s been trying to forget? He walked for hours, not realizing how late it was when he notices Carrie walking towards him.  Carrie’s face went blank; the last person she wanted to run into was Nick.   He was walking right towards her and her heart was beating fast, but she kept walking. Before she knew it, he was standing in front of her.  “Hello Carrie.” Carrie looked at him and said “hello”.  “Can we talk?” Nick asked her “Nick, if you want to talk about the ball, you can come by the office tomorrow morning, I have some things to take care of and it’s getting late.” Carrie replied. Carrie felt awkward; she was wondering what he wanted to talk about after what had happened between them. “Please Carrie; it will only take a minute.”  Nick looked at Carrie, his eyes were damped.  “Carrie, I want to apologize for the other night, I don’t know why I left the way I did, well actually I do know why I left. I was scared. Carrie, I have so many feelings running through my body, I do not know what to do.  I think I am falling in love with you;  it may sound crazy and maybe I am crazy for feeling this way; we’ve only known each other for a couple of weeks  and with all that happened in my last relationship,  I am freaked out!  I have been driving myself crazy, not knowing what to do about us, about the feelings that I feel.  I know that I love you, but am I ready?  Can I trust you not to hurt me the way that Ashley did.”  Carrie was there listening and crying because what he didn’t  realize was that he had hurt her, that he did the same thing that Ashley had done.  Nevertheless, she did not say a word - she just looked at his face full of agony and held him because she too had fallen in love with him.  They sat in the park for awhile; they held hands and just sat there.  The wind was cold but it did not matter because they had each other’s warmth to keep them warm and from that moment on, they knew that their life would never be the same.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-4138678116285053737?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/4138678116285053737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=4138678116285053737' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/4138678116285053737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/4138678116285053737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/love-storywalk-in-park.html' title='LOVE STORY (WALK IN THE PARK)'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFmkiiqtK7I/AAAAAAAAAHo/B1blwrKNjC4/s72-c/ITF310059.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-8486713367236443050</id><published>2008-06-17T16:27:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T21:43:54.661-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Words from within'/><title type='text'>LOVE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFhoIiSBapI/AAAAAAAAAG4/YorVMLZ155w/s1600-h/15038.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

I see the light, I made it through the maze and to my surprise, and I am whole!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-292714206989914464?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/292714206989914464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=292714206989914464' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/292714206989914464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/292714206989914464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/words-unspoken.html' title='WORDS UNSPOKEN'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFMq8p1oXwI/AAAAAAAAAFo/vdVTR0J9Fzs/s72-c/sca0145.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-3681410968781232474</id><published>2008-06-11T21:06:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T21:12:00.566-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love Story'/><title type='text'>LOVE STORY(ASHLEY)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFB31vwAQZI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/UmGIF50sFa4/s1600-h/42-18736682.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFB31vwAQZI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/UmGIF50sFa4/s400/42-18736682.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210796534102245778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFB2_UcVizI/AAAAAAAAAFI/UOevda1LJjI/s1600-h/42-18736682.JPG"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Nick was looking at the crumbled piece of paper he had left on top of his desk, “&lt;span style=""&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;hat are you doing here&lt;span style=""&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;hy now and what do you want&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;” &lt;span style=""&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;e thought.  He kept pacing back and forward&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; not knowing what to do&lt;span style=""&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;e looked at the piece of paper again then &lt;span style=""&gt;threw&lt;/span&gt; it out. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Nick was lost in thoughts&lt;span style=""&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; “She left me without a single explanation; she just packed up her things and left.”  Nick went back to work but all he thought about was Ashley.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;It was dark out when Nick looked out the window&lt;span style=""&gt;.  H&lt;/span&gt;e was tired, had the worst headache imaginable&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; and hungry. Nick picked up the phone&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt; and&lt;/span&gt; to his surprise, Carrie was on the other end.  “Hello, Nick&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; it’s Carrie.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;” &lt;/span&gt; “Carrie&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; I was just about to give you a call but from the looks of things, you beat me to it.” “You were&lt;span style=""&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;”   Carrie &lt;span style=""&gt;asked.&lt;/span&gt;   “Carrie, I was wondering if I could stop by and see you, if it is not too late&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; that is.”  “No&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; of course not, come on by.” Carrie heard herself say.&lt;s&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;Trying to look your best in less than twenty minutes suddenly became impossible.  &lt;span style=""&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;he picked up a pair of jeans&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; a white shirt and put on her sn&lt;span style=""&gt;ea&lt;/span&gt;kers.  She did not want to be&lt;span style=""&gt; overdressed&lt;/span&gt; and did not want to look like she was going to sleep either. Carrie heard the doorbell &lt;span style=""&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; she stops in the hallway&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; looks at the image in the mirror&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; then proceeded towards the door. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt; “Hello Carrie&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;” Nick walked in and gave Carrie a gentle kiss on the cheek. “Hello Nick, how are you?” Carrie smiled “&lt;span style=""&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;ould you like anything to drink&lt;span style=""&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;” she offered&lt;span style=""&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; “I brought us a bottle of champagne; I hope you do not mind.” “No, not at all, thank you&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; that was thoughtful of you&lt;span style=""&gt;.  L&lt;/span&gt;et me get the glasses.” Carrie said as she walked towards the kitchen&lt;span style=""&gt;.  Fr&lt;/span&gt;om there she talked to Nick. “Nick&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; since the &lt;span style=""&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;all is going to be a black and white affair&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; I thought that maybe you would like White Calla Lilies or Red Roses for the center&lt;span style=""&gt;pieces&lt;/span&gt;, tall ones in a crystal vase&lt;span style=""&gt;.  N&lt;/span&gt;ow for the food; we can start with stuffed mushroom, shrimp, salmon, or whatever you would like us to serve and I thought that maybe&lt;span style=""&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt; Nick walked over to Carrie and placed his finger on her lips, “&lt;span style=""&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;o you mind if we talked about something else for a moment&lt;span style=""&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;” “I thought you wanted to discuss the plans for the party?”  Carrie was nervous; she felt a lump &lt;span style=""&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;n her throat and had to swallow.  “It’s been a very long day and I just want t&lt;span style=""&gt;o&lt;/span&gt; relax, let’s talk about us for a while.”  Once again, they engaged in a conversation not about the reason for his visit but about them.  This time Carrie learned about Ashley and she felt a bit of jealousy&lt;span style=""&gt;; &lt;/span&gt;she could not explain why&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; but she did.  “I’m so sorry to hear that&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; I don’t think that I could have survived something like that&lt;span style=""&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;”  &lt;span style=""&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;ithout realizing it, she placed her hand on top of his.  He looked in her eyes &lt;span style=""&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; they sparkle&lt;span style=""&gt;d&lt;/span&gt; like two stars in the night. &lt;span style=""&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;e smiled at her and kissed her hand&lt;span style=""&gt;.  H&lt;/span&gt;e could not explain what was happening but he felt so at ease around Carrie&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; he felt whole.  “Carrie&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; you are an amazing woman, I haven’t felt this way in a long time.  When I’m with you&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; nothing seems to matter, I feel complete and alive.”  Without another thought, he kisses her, with a desire so deep and beyond his control.   He was hungry for her; he kissed her gently.  Carrie laid there wanting him&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; willing to be his and not fighting what she too was feeling. &lt;span style=""&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;Carrie&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;’ Nick said as she looked at him&lt;span style=""&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; “I’m sorry, I can’t, and I have to go.”  She stood there wondering what just happened.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;On his way home, all Nick thought about was Carrie, she was special.  It was an attraction that pulled at him and he knew that he could fall in love with her and that frightened him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-3681410968781232474?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/3681410968781232474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=3681410968781232474' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/3681410968781232474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/3681410968781232474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/love-storyashley.html' title='LOVE STORY(ASHLEY)'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SFB31vwAQZI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/UmGIF50sFa4/s72-c/42-18736682.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-7417291530710293990</id><published>2008-06-10T15:06:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T13:43:58.339-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rambling'/><title type='text'>MY OTHER HALF</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SE7RaTOw9bI/AAAAAAAAAFA/RA4rN-_BpFo/s1600-h/Sunset.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210332068683249074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SE7RaTOw9bI/AAAAAAAAAFA/RA4rN-_BpFo/s400/Sunset.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Growing up, all I ever wished for were sisters; I lived in a house full of men, and they drove me crazy…yes, I was Mom’s little girl but my heart ached for the company of a sister.&lt;br /&gt;I would talk myself crazy, but never had an imaginary friend, I had my best friend but it wasn’t the same.&lt;br /&gt;I knew that I had a family, apart from my mom’s, somewhere out there that I had never met, and my curiosity burned like crazy, and not knowing made me sad.&lt;br /&gt;Every night I lay to sleep and how I wished upon that star up above. I’ll slowly speak to the heavens in the sky; to seek my other half’s tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day my prayers were answered, and one of my sisters I did meet, and I, only a child, felt at ease.&lt;br /&gt;My experience was all but glamorous, sadness once again overtook my body for the hurt was horrendous, not because I would leave him behind, but the sister and the family that I had so longed for, and the others I have yet to meet.&lt;br /&gt;I met my Aunts Edith and Olga, my Uncles Joe and Harry and their kids. I also met my cousin, Betsy who was on vacation and going back home. Do I remember them now? Not really - glimpse of things, but I was happy around them…only one stuck out like a sore thumb. Why, I have no clue, but he has been a part of my memory and heart since we first met - “&lt;em&gt;Rene&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, I was back in my world and my brothers whom I love so dearly, and how I missed them. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Now, almost 24 yrs later and our paths have crossed once again; I feel so overwhelmed, feelings rushing through my body, so much at one time. I want to hide. That I do very well, push people away and put walls up are my specialties, but I have been waiting for this day for so long and now that is here, I ‘m scared. I’m scared, scared of rejection, not knowing sometimes is better than knowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I share a bond, we share roots; I am here because of you and I don’t want to walk away, but staying is so hard too. Do you know that I was there when my grandpa passed away? You were not aware of my agony or my presence, but I, very alert. I am stranger to you but regardless, I love you and sometimes I think “how can you love someone you don’t even know?” But I do, all of you.&lt;br /&gt;My Titi Milly was the first one I met and WOW, I was blown away, it was like looking in the mirror, then my Titi Ruth, my sweet peace of heaven, my other Aunt Milta - a very beautiful woman - we have more catching up to do,. And I can’t forget the girls…&lt;em&gt;RELATED,&lt;/em&gt; yes we are, crazy and exciting! WE are the Perez Girls and saving the best for last, my sister WENDY. I’m not one to show emotions and I wish you were here right now. You are everything I hoped for; beautiful, smart, and fun loving. You and I will never part, that I swear to you. I LOVE YOU. We were separated at birth, reunited as adults. Being around you just for a couple of hours meant the world to me, it was like time has not been stolen from me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;You are the ones that I crave for and forgive me if I have no compassion for him, he has taken everything away from me, robbed me from you all and I don’t ever think that I could forgive - the pain is greater than the mind and the heart has yet to learn that mistakes, yes, are made but not repeatedly. He knows what he did. God has planted you back in my life and there you will always remain….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love has conquered after all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-7417291530710293990?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/7417291530710293990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=7417291530710293990' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/7417291530710293990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/7417291530710293990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-other-half.html' title='MY OTHER HALF'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SE7RaTOw9bI/AAAAAAAAAFA/RA4rN-_BpFo/s72-c/Sunset.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-1464468533553423775</id><published>2008-06-04T23:25:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T13:45:14.163-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love Story'/><title type='text'>LOVE STORY (DINNER FOR TWO)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SEddwamd8KI/AAAAAAAAAE4/FSjSM0bP_yY/s1600-h/42-19620177.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208234580433039522" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; WIDTH: 188px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 143px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SEddwamd8KI/AAAAAAAAAE4/FSjSM0bP_yY/s400/42-19620177.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;The next day Carrie walked into her office and was surprised to see the roses on the table. She picked up the note and it said; “if the roses were as beautiful as you&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; I would have a rose garden all around my house&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. H&lt;/span&gt;ave dinner with me tonight&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;I have some ideas for the party and I want to share them with you.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; She took the card&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; placed it on her lips and smiled&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; then picked up the phone&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;.&lt;s&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;It was a long and stressful day for Nick; it was meeting after meeting, all he wanted to do was sit down&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; relax and have a glass of scotch. He reached over for a glass when he then noticed the two messages&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;he first one was from Carrie &lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;she thanked him for the flowers, but decline&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;d&lt;/span&gt; the dinner invitation. The next one blew him away&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;e was surprised but more than anything&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; hurt&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. H&lt;/span&gt;e was not expecting to hear from this person ever again and his anger got the best of him. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;Nick, not giving up&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; calls Carrie every day, “&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;ow are the plans going?” one day, “&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;o we have a meeting today?” another day&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Carrie and Jessica both giggle and continue working. Late that evening Carrie was walking out of the office when Nick approaches her&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. H&lt;/span&gt;e smiled and gave her a single rose and a note, then left, no words spoken. Another dinner proposal&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; this time she accepts.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;It was seven-thirty when Carrie arrived&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. S&lt;/span&gt;he walked into the waiting area when she noticed Nick walking towards her&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. H&lt;/span&gt;is smile&lt;s&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;d&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/s&gt; lit up the room and he said” You look lovelier then I had imagined you to be.&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; He took her hand and escorted her to their table&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. S&lt;/span&gt;he looked up at him, her eyes danced with excitement and she smiled in &lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;return&lt;s&gt;ed&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Her heart was beating fast,” I need to keep my cool&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;o not let the emotions that are running within me take charge, relax&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; breathe&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;’mon Carrie&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; you can do this.” She thought.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;Dinner went well&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;hey talked for hours, about her business her interest and even about her childhood. Nick smiled as he studied her; he&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; as well&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; talked about his life, his business, his accomplishments, and his downfall. They laugh&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;ed&lt;/span&gt;; dance&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;d,&lt;/span&gt; everyone around them could see the attraction sparks flew everywhere. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;Nothing could have gone wrong&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt; -&lt;/span&gt; two worlds have combined into one&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. Wh&lt;/span&gt;o would have thought that they met weeks ago&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;It was close to ten o’clock when he dropped her off. He walked her to the door and before she could say a word, he grabbed her and kissed her. She was out of breath but the desire was mutual&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. A&lt;/span&gt;s she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, it was a moment she will never forget&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;. H&lt;/span&gt;er heart leaped with joy &lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;from that moment on she knew things between them would never be the same again.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,51,153)"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;The next morning Carrie did not want to get out of bed. She wanted her dream to go on. She thought about Nick and the wonderful evening they had shared. She smiled to herself but the smile faded just as fast. She just broke one of her own rules -- never mix business with pleasure, although she was excited about last night; she was disappointed too.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4694301709065879824-1464468533553423775?l=chatterboxmom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/feeds/1464468533553423775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4694301709065879824&amp;postID=1464468533553423775' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/1464468533553423775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4694301709065879824/posts/default/1464468533553423775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chatterboxmom.blogspot.com/2008/06/love-story-dinner-for-two.html' title='LOVE STORY (DINNER FOR TWO)'/><author><name>Brenda Judy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02374063244720999139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SEddwamd8KI/AAAAAAAAAE4/FSjSM0bP_yY/s72-c/42-19620177.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694301709065879824.post-7474721629274164275</id><published>2008-06-04T23:22:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-05T23:35:40.583-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poems'/><title type='text'>OUT OF AIR</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SEdcUKmd8II/AAAAAAAAAEo/jRVz9RQq7fk/s1600-h/ITF310059.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EvVJYDEKLzM/SEdcUKmd8II/AAAAAAAAAEo/jRVz9RQq7fk/s400/ITF310059.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208232995590107266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Have you ever loved someone so deeply it hurts your very soul, not knowing where this love will lead you to, but knowing that you will die without their presence?

I grab my handbag and pull out my compact&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;I looked at the image in the mirror and saw the horror in my eyes. “Oh my&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;” were the words that came out of my mouth, “Mr. Andrews will be here shortly and I look like I’m growing an antler - Great!” I was going through some papers when Jessica announced that Mr. Andrews had arrived. “Give me a minute, and then let him in.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;“Good morning Miss Peters.” said the voice from behind her. As she turns around to greet her client, she saw the eyes - the same eyes she saw that Sunday afternoon. “You!” she said. They both knew who the other one was. She was the girl he had knocked down by the market place. “I can’t believe it&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;s you,” he said, “I’ve thought about you constantly, even walked by the market place but never saw you again. Did I do that?” Carrie was motionless - she could not believe it was him. &lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;he could not breathe, could not talk but she had to make a motion. Carrie never answer&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;d&lt;/span&gt; his question&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;, she&lt;/span&gt; did not see the point in it. Carrie replied with a smile. “&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;Let’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt; sit down; we have a lot to discuss.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;It was a quarter after two when Nick left the office and Carrie was exhausted. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;Once the meeting ended, Jessica walked into the office. They went over some of the requirements that Mr. Andrews had in mind. “Jess, call Andy and see what he will have available for the month of June. We also have to” “Carrie” Jessica interrupted her.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)"&gt;“What did you think of Mr. Andrews?” Carrie smiled “What is there to think of” she winked and walked out of the office. “C’mon Carrie tell me, I noticed the way he looked at you, and you also forgot to mention that you two knew each other.” “Correction, he knocked me down two months ago - that doesn’t mean we know each other.” Carrie continues with her reading and ignored Jessica; she knows just what to say and do, to get to her sister. A few minutes later Carrie heard the door close and looked up to see Mr. Andrews standing in front of her. “Mr. Andrews, is there anything else that I can do for you?” Carrie asked, “Indeed you can” he replied, “Will you have dinner with me tonight?” “Mr. Andrews,” “Nick, call me Nick,” he replied. “Mr. Andrews, I don’t think that would be a good idea.” Carrie, not impressed by his dinner proposal, excused herself and walked him out.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;

I could eat it constantly, arroz con habichuelas (rice and beans) for me, with platanitos and a juicy filet of chicken. “WOW” just the thought of the food makes my mouth water; so really, do you think I have the time or mentality to count my carbs or calorie? “Yeah, right” my tummy has a mind of its own. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt; I believe that as long as your food portions are small and you don’t go over the top, you can indulge yourself with the simple pleasures of life.

I knew right at that moment that he was the one, the one I have been waiting for. He would be the one that would embrace my heart like no other, but also tear it apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a cold November afternoon; I was out running some errands when out of nowhere he appeared. I fell flat on the floor and my bags were all over the place. My head was pounding and I was furious, never looking at the stranger who had knocked me down. When finally I stood up and turned to face him, his beauty blew me away. His eyes were the color of the sky; soothing, inviting and mesmerizing, he had gorgeous black hair and a smile that would weak anyone’s heart.

He walks and walks fear over takes his body and he shivers from the cold. Snap, crackle, he hears from a distance as he moves faster. The noises become louder, deafening his ear, he begins to run and stumble on a tree branch, whatever was following him is now standing over him. The look in his eyes, wide with fear, it is the red snapper, the same red snapper from his dreams, haunting and taunting him laughing with an evil laugh.
