Lost love

Happy family

The alarm went off at exactly 5:45 am,Jill looked over at her husband Jerome swan,laying facing her back with his right arm resting underneath his head and his left arm resting completely on her abdomen.gently raising his arm to free herself from his grip she paused,took a long stare at him and with a smile on her face she thanked God for giving such a calm and loving husband,Jerome Swan ,jimmy as she fondly called him, was the perfect gentleman man .They had met at a coffee shop down the street which they still visited till this day on their anniversary,the attendant at the coffee shop had mixed up their orders and after they each had their sip they both headed back to the counter to complain about their orders but reaching there,they both took the executive Decision to exchange their drinks,

“I think I have yours” jimmy said handing the cup of coffee back to Jill,at first she was a bit skeptical about collecting it,he was a total stranger and he had already had a sip of her drink,she certainly wouldn’t be very hygienic for both of to drink from the same cup “ I brush my teeth I promise,I also floss and I think my dentist would be pretty proud of me”he must have sensed how uneasy she felt and he tried to reassure her that it was okay. “You don’t say much,do you?”he asked again “oh pardon my manners ,I am Jerome but my friends call me jimmy,and this is your cup of coffee”. this time he stretched out his hand till she was forced to collect it from him “Jill Perkins,”she answered “and I think I might just stick to your pumpkin spice it’s been a while I had one of these”she said taking another sip. “I am no doctor but two cups of coffee should be considered an over dose” jimmy added “and that’s why you are no doctor” Jill fired back,they both laughed, jimmy eventually got another cup of coffee and a bagel,they enjoyed their breakfast,exchanged emails and started to plan their first date..

Jill had been looking forward to this date since the first day they had met ,something about jimmy just seemed right,it was probably the was he spoke,his words were always so reassuring and he always knew what to say and when to say it. They had planned to visit the Mothman museum on Friday and by Thursday she had her dress already picked out and to a women that’s half the work done. She usually closed earlier on Fridays because it was the weekend but they had a meeting this Friday that made har stay overtime so she had to call him For a rain check.it wasn’t the first date she had canceled on but she certainly felt the most disappointed.

As Jill was about to step out of the office she had her phone bip,it was jimmy he had asked her to send her address,according to his mail,he had a gift for her he intended to give it to her at the museum but since she couldn’t make it he would love to drop it off if she didn’t mind “Awwn that’s soo sweet” she said to herself as she read,Jill quickly typed out her address but as she was about to press send it occurred to her that she was letting him in too easily,for all she knew he could be a spy or some evil assassin,not that she had any money or enemies but Mama Jill always thought her to beware of strangers,jimmy didn’t feel like one tho, a stranger not a serial killer not that she had met a serial killer before but he certainly wasn’t one, but he definitely didn’t feel like a stranger either,she had had one conversation with him but she felt like they had been friends for ages.

As she stepped out of her apartment

On that cold Sunday morning to take the trash out Jill almost stumbled on the brown box that was sitting still at her door step,she took a minute to observe the object and found a note underneath it,she gently raised the box up completely revealing the note,picking it up she read “from one Coffee lover to another,

Love,Jimmy”

Racing back into her apartment not minding if her door was bolted or not she quickly brought out a knife from one of her cabinets and opened the box.

“Oh my goodness,this is absolutely gorgeous”she said as she brought out the shiny gold bracelet he had got her.

This must have cost him a fortune,she thought, but how did he know the building where she lived,how did he get past the doorman and most importantly how did he know her apartment?she reached out for her phone and quickly checked her mail to see if she mistakenly sent her address to him but the message was till there unsent.

As she stared at her beautiful gift now siting gracefully on her marble table top her phone began to ring immediately she picked the call and heard the cool masculine voice on the other end of the phone she knew it was Jimmy.

“Did you like your gift?”he asked

“Yea I did” it is absolutely beautiful,thank you”. She replied, “but don’t tell me you stalked all the way to my apartment ”, she said with a little giggle

“ oh no, I only stalked you all the way to your building,I figured if I knew that it would be easy for me to find the apartment if the most beautiful girl that lived there and I was right”.

Their conversation went on for about an hour and before it ended Jimmy asked her if she would love to have breakfast with him every morning and she said yes.Their relationship blossomed into a blissful marriage after 2 years and they were blessed with a child almost immediately as she conceived their first child on their honeymoon,Michelle Olivia Swan was their love child,she has always been very peaceful and quiet just like her father even as a child, Jill and jimmy always joked that it was the calm love making they had on their wedding night that produced such a perfect little Angel,Thompson mark Swan was their joy child, he was vibrant,funny,highly energetic,bold and very smart.he was simply a bundle of joy,he brightened every room he walked into and he brought so much joy to their household.

Jill was blessed,she knew it.her husband was perfect,most women will kill to have him her kids were Angels,she was more than proud to be their mother and she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way..she had worked so hard over the years and had blossom greatly in her career.

So why exactly did she feel so empty,why did waking up every morning feel like a chore,why doesn’t she feel the spark she felt years ago when she looked at her husband and most importantly why does she keep dreaming about John McLean?
