Kate and Jack were best buddies in high-school who secretly had a crush at each other but different university-choices made them lost contact., 15 years later they meet again and discover they both aren't available. Are they meant to be together or does faith has other plans for them ?
Kate smiled as she felt her husband's hands around her waist.
"Seriously Tom, I'm going to be late."
Tom flipped her and made her stand with her back against the bathroom sink.
Kissing her. "Do they mind ?"
"Yes, they do." She said letting her hand go over his cheek, "and you need to shave."
She released herself from him and went to the bed room looking into her closet.
Fifteen years ago when Kate left high school she planned to change the world, to do something with her life in order to help other people.
Since she didn't had the right grades to study medicine like Jack did she had decided to become a social worker.
Kate smiled when she thought back on Jack, he had been her first crush and she had never told him.
Course she didn't, Jack came from a doctors-family and she … she came from a trailer-park with divorced parents and a drunk step-father.
She had to take a job as a waitress in order to pay for her studies while all of the other kids from her year went to house-parties.
When you looked at the both of them you should be wondered that they ever became friends, Jack was the quarterback who all the girls wanted and she … she was the girl in the back of the class chewing her hair as she watched all those rich chicks flirt with her friend.
Tom entered the room as well and smiled at her, "You're dreaming again."
"I'm not dreaming, I'm deciding what to wear."
"Well, what do you have to do today ?"
"The McKenzie's had a fight again, Miranda is in the hospital and I have to speak to the doctor to see how bad she's hurt, than I have to speak to Miranda and than I have to speak to Joe. And afterwards, I have a lot of paper-work to do."
"So you'll be home late ?"
"Yeah, I will."
"I think you should wear the black outfit, it really makes you look sexy."
Kate smiled and pulled on the outfit taking of, on her way to work she stopped at star bucks.
She grabbed her cell phone and dialled the number of the hospital.
"Hello you're talking to Katherine Brennan, I'm working at the case of Mrs. McKenzie and I wondered if I could talk to Dr. Shephard… Yes, I understand that he's busy, he's a doctor after all but this will only take 5 minutes … No, it has to be today … I understand he has a job and he's busy and all but I have a job as well and you might be in the illusion that a doctor is a unholy, untouchable artefact but … ok, thank you."
She laid down the phone and smiled at the waitress. "Could you make that a takeaway ? I have to go."
The waitress smiled and Kate left a tip behind before she left the shop and walked to the hospital.
"Hi, I'm having an appointment with Dr. Shephard."
"Mrs. Miller ?"
"No, Katherine Brennan."
The woman behind the reception wasn't in a hurry and Kate wondered what she would do if she would stood here bleeding.
"Oh yeah, the social worker. You can go to his office, he will be there in a second."
Kate didn't like the way she used the word social worker but went to his office waiting there.
Apparently dr. Shephard wasn't to attached to the people in his life. Accept for the picture of a blond woman they're wasn't anything in his desk that could tell anything about him accept that he liked the work of Andy Warhol.
She went to sit down on a chair and waited for the good doc to come in, it probably wouldn't take that long but one of the nurses had to bring two cups of coffee when Dr. Shephard finally decided that he would spend a few minutes of his time to her.
"Kate ?"
"Jack !"
The two old friends got up and hugged each other.
"Are you married or something ? Katherine Brennan."
"Yeah, and you ?"
"I'm engaged, I'm getting married in five months."
"Does you're mother thinks she's a good match or not ?"
Jack laughed, apparently Kate had remembered the way his mother used to control his life.
"Yeah, she thinks she's a very good match, she introduced us to each other."
Kate showed a smile on her face and Jack couldn't help but smelt.
She still had the same innocence and natural beauty as she had back in high school but the suit she was wearing was way to serious.
"We really need to talk sometimes."
Kate smiled. "Yeah, we should."
"How 'bout lunch, tomorrow noon ?"
"Sounds great. But right now I would like to talk about mrs. Mc Kenzie."
At the same moment someone knocked on the door and a woman entered the room.
Although age had gotten her Kate could still recognize her as Jack's mother.
"Kate ? What are you doing here ?"
"She's working on a case considering one of my patients."
Kate looked at the floor in front of her, one thing that hasn't changed, the fact that he would always answer the questions his mother had meant for her.
"So you're a cop ?"
"No, I'm a social worker."
Kate answered making another change.
"Well, that's another proof that kids always get inspired in their child hood. One gets inspired by his father and another one gets inspired by the woman that visited her parents the most."
Kate didn't answered to that one, this was probably something that would never change, the fact that Jack's mother hated her and they're was no way she would be able to change that.
So what do you think of it ?
Should I continue writing this ?
