My Life Back Then II

Hey... the music is great here isn’t it? It's great that you are here with me, after tom moved to Nebraska. I am feeling very lonely here. I wish we could spend more time together.

You are moving with him anyway. So spend however much time you want with him as you want.

You don’t understand, he is from a very rich family, he will have a lot of girls there if he wants, I don’t want to lose him.

Is that why you are moving there with him, to make him stay?

I yes, I love him.

Who knew my friend was such a looser?

What did you say? Did you just call me a looser?

Yes you are a looser, when will you change your habit of changing yourself to make others happy?

Isn’t that what you do too?

I am doing it for my brother. And I am changing myself for him, but I am looking after him like a parent cares for his child. The love we had is greater than the love of a couple.

But I know tom loves me too, I cant help but be insecure about his away from me. you know how popular he is in this town. They way my last relationship ended I don’t know what will happen to me if the same happens to me this time.

Don’t worry too much about the future, you are a good girl and you are pretty too. he would be lucky to have your love.

Don’t drink anymore, ill leave you here if you pass out on me.

Don’t worry I have a high tolerance. I won’t pass out in just time much.

You look like you’re about to pass out.

No I'm good, see I can dance too.

Hey stop it you will fall.

“excuse me, can I have a dance with you?”

Hey sorry, but he is here with me, his girlfriend.

Really, is she your girlfriend?

Ahh…. I, she.

Tom, tell her that we are dating, that I am your girlfriend.

Ahh… sorry, but I want to dance with my girlfriend.

Thomas why didn’t you say the same thing to that girl last time? I know she was your ex and you didn’t want to hurt her, because you knew she still had feeling for you. I know you were just being kind to her but you know I have the right to be introduced as your girlfriend to everyone you know.

You are too damn drunk now, I am not Thomas, wake up you damn girl.

Suddenly she jumped on reeve, kissing him on his lips, the kiss wasn’t something soft or mistaken it was rough and needy. Reeve didn’t stop her from kissing him, rather, his hands slide to her waist and her butt pulling him closer to his body. The kiss was going really wild and hot and needy. While her hands were roaming all over his abs and waist under his shirt, on his skin.

It was like they forget that they were standing in between hundreds other people, they were so into each other. No one wanted to break the feeling or each other’s petal like soft lips. Their tongues were licking each other’s mouth, not leaving a single inch to explore. Reeve wasn’t as drunk as Juliane was, but he couldn’t stop himself, he just couldn’t. he had suppressed his feeling for too long, for him she was the only one who understood him and worry for him. He wanted to be someone important for her. But he knew he couldn’t do it. He didn’t have enough to give to her. He already had too many responsibilities over his shoulders. He decided to let her go. He never let his feeling grow for her. He kept his safe distance from her. But not today not anymore. With that kiss he broke all the walls he created for himself. Just that kiss made him lose all that he tried so hard building. For him that was the last thing he would want to remember doing with her, and he had an excuse this time. He can say later that he was too drunk to remember anything, so he just let his emotions flow from his heart. Just from this night he let go of the control and kissed her letting all his feeling out that he kept inside his heart for months.

When they were going back home, after Julie got a little sober. It got too late to get any taxi around that area so they started walking back, the road was empty not even a single person can be seen there.

Hey reeve do you see that?

What?

There is something there, see there its standing right there on the sidewalk.

Are you still drunk?

I'm not drunk, I am seriously saying that there is someone. See.

Reeve knew she was still drunk and again seeing things that are not real. But he still looked where she was saying, but surprisingly there was something, he couldn’t clearly figure out what that thing actually was, but he can see she was not seeing things.

Suddenly he remembered something, for past few weeks he has been working on a case of missing men. He investigated and found that more than twenty men have gone missing in the past decade on that road, they were all young, in their twenties and thirties. There is an urban legend on that road that a woman in white will hitchhike in your car and the driver would go missing for forever. He saw her getting in a car. He ran to the middle of the road to stop the car. Juliane followed him not knowing what to do.

Hey are you crazy?

Please drop us just to the end of the road, we will go from there. My girlfriend if too drunk to walk that long.

Okay sure get in.

The woman in white suddenly disappeared from the car, seeing that she wont be able to haunt this driver anymore.

Hey where did she go? When did she get out of the car?

Have you ever heard of the urban legend of the woman in white?

That’s just a joke isn’t it?

No, it is not a joke. You could have died just now.

don’t worry she is now gone, don’t hitchhike anymore on this road. Thanks now just drop us right there.

Hey what was that? You said as you know everything about those things.

I know you are drunk and won’t remember anything so I will just tell you. This ghosts spirits, they are all real and I kind of kill them. This is kind of my business you know.

I am good with alcohol; I won’t forget it ever. And if I am ever in danger, I will can you and you will have to come and help me. okay?

Okay, whatever. Now go this is your home.

Hmmm, bye.

Winter, 2012,

You were right about tom; he is really a nice guy. He treats me well. I was too insecure about him, but you made me believe in us. I am going to marry him. I haven’t heard from you after that day. I don’t even know where you are. So, you never answer you phone, so I am sending you this message, I am getting married this Sunday, ill text you the address. Please try to made it to the wedding. I really miss talking to you and sharing what we went through. I hope you miss me too and that we can meet again. I owe you my life.

And if you read this message, I want you to know that I remember everything that happened that night. Our kiss and the thing in the car, both. I know you kissed me back because you were drunk too, so it’s okay, I won’t let it make us awkward anymore, if this is the reason you are not replying to my calls and messages. I miss you a lot. I really wish to see you.

Epilogue-

I wish to see you too, I can’t explain what I felt when you kissed me, I knew the kiss wasn’t for me, but I wanted it for myself. I even went at your wedding, you looked so gorgeous, just like how breath-taking mom looked when he gets all prettied up for dad, I know you love tom I can see it in your eyes, I just wish I had the courage to came and hug you and wish you a happy married life. But I couldn’t. so, I will just leave for now, maybe in the future I can come and meet you and hug you without any feeling coming in between us. I miss you.
