I thought to myself "got to love them Greek men" I got out of bed putting on one of his t-shirts and made my way down the stairs my feet making soft pattering noises as I walked. "Hey there sleeping beauty" I heard him say as I leaned against the entrance of the kitchen. "Hey yourself handsome" I replied wittily. I sniffed the air" mm what are you cooking?"
"Your favorite… lasagna and lemon chicken soup." I grinned, He knew me all too well. I loved it. I kissed him and sat at the table watching him cook thinking of how lucky I was to have him. After we ate he asked if I wanted to swim. So there we were having fun in the pool relaxing he came up behind me, wrapped me in his arms, and growled in my ear. a deep fierce sexy growl. "Caylub" is all I could think. I pulled away getting out near tears running in the house, leaving john. Confused he got out and followed me. "Amanda? What's wrong?"
"go away" it was all I could manage.
"Talk to me please..." I felt terrible, but I could not bear to tell him why I was upset it would hurt him far too much. I had to I took a breath then I began.

Because he was my first love man, I loved this boy with everything I had he was dating one of my shall we call it an acquaintances at the time but I did not care. No h was going to be mine. Sure enough, the next day he asked me out on a date and that was it hook line and sinker al mine. He was like putty in my hands. It was going to stay that way. We were together for a very long time. We had a son together named Channing life was amazing. But I had to go to Olympia to visit a dying friend and when I came back….my world was over…the bliss was over…everything was over…. They were dead. Caylub and Channing had been killed and I would sit, mope, and think back on all the sweet little things that happened. Like when we would make love he would growl and that would let me know he was excited and he would call me he lovely love and how he would look at me when I was holding Channing…
I shook my head coming back to reality realizing I was wet and shivering my face stained with tears I solemnly walked upstairs getting dressed crawling into bed upset and hurt at having to spill out my past.
