The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants

    Kalani was excited for the day; she wanted to get to a normal. She went out job hunting however Red Wood is a small so there was not a lot of openings. While eating in a small café, she heard her name and turned around; it was Marcos.

    “Como Estas?” He asked. “I’m fine how are you?” she smiled softly and asked Marcos. “Better now that I see that beautiful smile again.” He answered. Kalani blushed slightly at this. “Would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?” She asked. Marcos did not try to hide his delight at joining her, “Of course.”

    They talked and laughed for hours. Marcos was so happy to have this time with her again, as was Kalani. Her heart would skip a beat every time Marcos “accidentally” brushed her hand or leg with his.

“You know how much I missed this and you Kalani?” Marcos finally said. Kalani got a sad look on her face. “Hey what’s wrong?” “It’s just if you missed me so much why did you get with Milani?” Marcos looked down; he was expecting this question but it doesn’t mean he wanted to answer it.

    He sighed really loudly. “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer. It just hurts to know I’m not the love of your life anymore.” She got up to walk away. He grabbed her hand and said, “Wait. Don’t leave. I can explain myself.” She sat back down but Marcos did not let go of her hand. “I have never stopped loving you. You will always be the love of my life.” “Then why Milani?” “We all thought you just ran away that this town……and all of us just reminded you of Ashleigh. I was so broken and Milani came to me she would throw herself at me. It’s not an excuse but damn it she was the closest thing to you I thought I would ever have again.” A lone tear fell down his face. Kalani wiped it letting her hand linger on his face. “I can’t pretend to be okay with it, but I still love you Marcos. The thought of you kept me going for so long.” Kalani said sadly. “Please forgive me Kalani I swear I won’t even speak to Milani again. You are the only one for me.” “I don’t know Marcos I need time to get over this. But I have to go; I need to finish looking for a job and see about my GED or something. We will talk soon.” She got up to leave again. Marcos got up as she walked past him, he grabbed her hand again and pull her to him meeting their lips. Kalani instantly melted into his lips, Marcos bites down on her lip causing a gasp which he used to his benefit and thrusted his tongue into her mouth. The kissed went on for minutes but what seemed like only seconds to Marcos he wanted more. Kalani finally pulled away to catch her breathe.

    “That was as amazing as I remembered.” Marcos said as he bites his bottom lip looking at her. “ I-I-I go-got to go.” A dazed Kalani said and walked towards the car. A step closer to making her mine again.” Thought Marcos.

    Little did Kalani and Marcos know they were being watched and pictures were being taken. “I will finally get rid of this b****. I won’t even have to get my hands dirty this time since that last i***t failed me. I just have to keep feeding the fire.” The stranger said to their self as they sent the pictures to an over jealous Milani. 

    Kalani walked into her old high school to see what she could do for her diploma or GED. If she can not find a job she will get a good education. Bittersweet memories came rushing to her again. She walked to her old locker that she shared with Ashleigh. It was still decorated but instead of only the R.I.P Ashleigh that was on there, there written in a red sharpie said, "Kalani is a murderer and deserves to die worse than Ashleigh." Kalani broke down crying at this. Who could ever think of such a thing? Murderer, how crazy she won't even hurt a fly." 

    "Pull yourself to get Kalani. It is just rumors." She said to herself. She wiped the tears away and walked to the office. "Good afternoon. How can I help you?" said the secretary. "Hi, I'm Kalani and I was interested and seeing how I can finish for my diploma or GED." "Kalani? Oh my god how have you been? You don't remember me? It's me; Becca Smith." the secretary said. "Oh hi how are you?" Kalani politely answered. "I'm good Braxton and I just said our I do's and I am expecting number 2." She said happily. "Congrats Becca you and Braxton have been together since we were young." "Yeah when he hurt his knee and couldn't play football anymore we settled down. Now the principal isn't in but I will leave you info so he can help you out with your options...... I can't believe you're back. Is it true someone kidnapped you for 12 years?" Kalani's heart raced at remembering "Sir'' and she looked down. "Well life sometimes is not rainbow kisses and unicorn hugs Becca. Here's my number and my address is still the same." As she handed Becca a paper. "Okay hun. Let's get together sometime." Becca smiled. "Oh very soon." Kalani said out loud as she thought, "Never please."  and Kalani left to go back home, where a stormed named Milani awaited her.
