**************************************
"Hi, I'm Jessica Austin. Jess for short." The
tall, slender blond held out her hand to the tall
handsome man in front of her.
She was up visiting her sister who was apparently
partnered with the handsome man. Whenever Meg spoke
of him she described him as the brother she never had
and that one day when Jess met him she'd feel the same
way, but Meg was wrong. Jess didn't love him like the
brother she never had, she loved him like the
boyfriend she never Harm.
"Harm."
That was their first meeting and from then on Harm
was hooked. He couldn't get enough of her. He wanted
to be near her all the time which was had to do
considering she lived in Texas and he in Washington.
One day while Harm was out running he got a
special surprise when he returned from his 10 miles.
"Jess what are you doing here?" Harm wrapped his
strong muscular arms around her slender waist not
caring that he was dripping sweat all over her.
"Well I sat down and weighed the things in my
life. I asked myself what was more important. Guess
the answer? Only I need a place to stay until I an get
a place of my own. Know anywhere available?"
"I think I know just the place and the best thing
is it's available forever if you want."
"Sounds too good to be true. Tell me where can I
find this wonderful place."
"Just follow me."
"I'll follow you anywhere."
Harm was in complete bliss when he got home. The
last seven months had been better than he could ever
hoped. The only thing that could make it better was
if she was permanently his and the whole world knew
it, which was what he planned to do tonight.
Chegwidden had let him leave early so he was going to
surprise her by taking her to her favorite restaurant
and beg her to be his forever, but when he got home he
was the one getting the surprise.
Over the last seven months his bachelor pad became
her home too. Little traces of her were found
everywhere, but today all traces of her was gone. The
only thing left was a note saying, "I just need to
clear my head and find myself."
"She left without leavin' a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to Austin
Cause she talked about it all the time"
One year later
She didn't know why she decided to do it, but she
called his old number. She never expected anyone to
answer. More she didn't expect him to still be living
there, but he was. She couldn't decide if it was luck
or not that he wasn't there instead she got his
answering machine.
"If your calling during the day I'm probably at
the office, if it's important I'll call you back, if
you're selling something you have more time than I do,
find something better to do with it..PS if this is
Austin, I still love you."
"It was almost a year before she called him up
Three rings and an ansering machine is what got
If you're calling about the car I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you've got something to sell
Your wasting your time
Cause I'm not buying
If it's anybody else wait for the tone
You know what to do
PS if this is Austin
I still love you."
She almost couldn't believe it. He still loved her
after all this time, even with the way she left him.
She was sure he wouldn't want anything to do with her.
Glancing at the clock she realized that it was time
with work. She hung up the phone and left with a
mental note to call the number later.
"The telephone fell to the counter
She heard but she couldn't believe
What kind of man would hang on that long
What kind of love that must be
She waited three days and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say
But she heard three rings and then"
Three days later
With this phone call she had a plan in mind. She
was going to get back the one thing in her life that
made her happy. So when she got home she picked up the
phone and dialed the phone number that was so familiar
to her and the same message greeted her.
"If it's Friday night I'm at the ballgame
And first thing Saturday if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake
And I'll be gone all weekend long
But I'll call you back when I get home
On Sunday afternoon
And PS if this is Austin
I still love you."
This time Jess just left a number. For three days
all she did was wait by the phone praying for his
call.
"This time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'
And this is what she heard"
When Harm got in Friday night he couldn't believe
the message that was on his machine. He couldn't
believe it was her voice after all these years. It
took him three days to make the decision to call her.
"Hello?"
"It's me. You left me your number."
"Harm?"
"Yeah it's me."
"Harm I just wanted to say that two years ago I
made the biggest mistake by walking out on you. I
realize now what a fool I was to lose your love. I
don't expect you to take me back with open arms or to
take me back at all, but I'm going to be in Washington
next week and I just wondered if you wanted to get
together sometime."
"Sure why not. Call me when you get here and we'll
work something out."
"Thanks, goodbye Harm. I love you."
"Yeah, me too. Bye."
"If your calling about my heart
It's still yours
I should have listened to it a little more
And it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I
belong
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're
talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love
you."
"I still love you"
Three Years after Jess left Harm
Austin, Texas
As the alarm clock buzzed at 7:30 Jessica Austin
awoke and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She just
had the strangest dream, but yet it all seemed so
real. She had called Harm's old number to see what he
was up to and she got a message saying that he still
loved her after all these years. Weird!
"So call him. You know what they say, that dreams
are a prediction of the future." Janey one of Jess's
best friends and coworkers tried to convince her to
call Harm.
"I don't know. I don't even know where he lives."
"Well he's probably still at JAG so just call
headquarters. It's not that late there." Janey pressed
the phone to Jess who took it and tempted to make the
call.
"JAG Headquarters, Gunnery Sergeant Galendiz."
Gunny answered the phone over the noise that was heard
in the bullpen.
"I'm trying to contact a man that used to work
there about three years ago. His name is Harmon Rabb.
Do you happen to know where he is?" Jess asked.
"Yeah he's right here." Gunny put his palm over
the phone. "Commander, phone."
Harm jogged over to Gunny's desk from where he was
standing with Mac and the rest of the JAG crew.
"Rabb."
"Harm?"
"Yes. Who is this?"
"It's me, Jess." She knew she sounded like a small
child on the phone, but she didn't care. "Do you
remember?"
"Yeah, of course. What did you call for?"
"Well I was going to be in Washington next week
and wondered if you wanted to get together." On the
other side of the line Janey starred at her best
friend, she didn't know that Jess was heading to
Washington.
"I'd love to, but next week me and Mac are headed
out to visit my mom."
"You and Mac?" Jess croaked out.
"Yeah Mac, my wife."
"Hey Commander get over here I want to
congratulate the new father myself." A voice called
over the phone.
"Hey Jess I got to go. Listen if you're ever in
Washington again give me a call."
"Yeah I'll do that." Jess said trying to hide the
hurt in her voice.
"Bye, Jess."
"Bye, Harm." And with that they hung up.
"Who was that?" Mac asked when he rejoined her.
"Just an old friend. Their going to be in town
next week and wanted to get together, but I told them
I couldn't cause we were going to visit mom."
"Maybe next time."
"Yeah." Harm said distractedly as the Admiral
approached him.
"So Harm with the baby on the way isn't about time
you two moved out of that apartment?"
"Were working on it sir, but you know marines
they're so had to please." Harm grinned receiving a
look from Gunny and a swat from Mac, but in the end
they were all laughing.
"What happened?" Janey asked when Jess hung up the
phone.
"My dream didn't come true. He's married and
either just had a baby or has one on the way. He's
moved on." With that Jessica Austin walked out.
