I always remembered reading those stories about how you would fall in love and then everything would just fall into place. I remembered my favorite love story was Tarzan, for some reason. It was beautiful, two different people from two completely different worlds…but finding love in each other. I know its sort of like every other love story but still very beautiful… and that…was kind of how my love story was turning out to be… until that day in Artie's living room...
"So what do you want to do?" I asked sitting on the floor slowly munching on some popcorn that he made.
"We could watch Coming Home, I haven't seen it in a while and its my favorite" he smiles rummaging through his stack of DVD's
"Babe we just watched that 3 days ago…remember?"
"Come on! You love this movie, see this movie is how were going to turn out you know" he teased and put the DVD player on.
"Please Artie… we could go on a romantic walk or do…other things" I looked down and blushed hoping he knew what I was hinting at. He popped the DVD in and completely ignored my request. I looked back up and right there he wheeled to the middle or the living room sitting right in front of the TV.
By the time the credits started I was half way home. I guess he didn't even notice or care that I left because that night as I fell asleep, I got no calls, no texts. I hope he had fun on our last date.
When the movie ended I looked at the time and it was 12:27, I jumped a little realizing I had 3 minutes to get Tee back home.
"Tina wake up we have to get go-" I stopped when I turned around to see that Tina was no longer sitting in front of that couch, he shoes were gone and the front door was left open "Tee?" I spoke quietly knowing that she had already left. I picked up the pillow she was sitting on and sadly placed it back on the couch, whispering to myself "nice going Artie"
