Her cell phone rang. //not now// she thought, hoping it would stop, but it didn't. The phone rang again; she smiled at the board in front of her.

"Would you excuse me for a moment?" she said still smiling. She grabbed her phone and rushed into the hallway.

"Hello?" she asked in an angry voice.

"Ren? It Lou, got a minute," a familiar voice said.

"Lou! How are you? How's the baby?" she smiled at the thought of her new niece.

"She's great Ren but the reason why I called," Lou, or Louis as some of you may know him, said, "you remember how your 15 year class reunion was canceled last year? Well this year they decided to have my class reunion combined with yours! Isn't that great?"

"Well, yea, but the two classes together? It will be like our middle school days again," Ran said looking back on the old days.

"Who cares Ren? We get to see everyone again!" Ren smiled.

"Yeah, I can't wait," she said. Then remembered her meeting. "God Lou, im so sorry, but I really have to go. I'll call you when I get home!" Ren said hanging up. She rushed back into the meeting.

"Sorry, now where were we?" she said, smiling.

*** Ren's Apartment

Ren opened the door to her apartment. She set her purse down on a chair and set her keys in a little bowl next to her door. Her answering machine flashed 3 new messages. She ignored them and walked into the bathroom. She began the water in the bathtub. Off came the clothes as she climbed in. The water was so warm, it was almost hot, and it felt good on her skin. Another business deal, through the roof. She didn't know what she did wrong this time. She gave the facts, the pros and cons, the money value, everything. But they still said no. Ren washed and climbed out. She dried her self with a pink fuzzy towel and slipped on her pink bathroom. Her phone rang as she sat on her couch.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Ren, its Lou," Ren smiled.

"Hey Lou."

"Are you coming down for the reunion?" he asked.

"Might as well. I have nothing better to do here."

"Ah great! I mean it's going to be great. All of us together again. We are going to be staying at mom's and we are also going to see Bernard again!" Ren stopped smiling.

"Beans?" she said in fear. Beans had single handedly ruined Ren's senior year of high school."

"Oh don't worry about him Ren, mom said he has gotten way better. It will be fine!" Ren nodded to herself.

"Your right Lou, he must be better. Well, im flying out tomorrow. I got the company to buy me the ticket so I'll be in around 5 in the afternoon," she said.

"Alright Ren, well I have to go. See you tomorrow!" Lou said.

"Tomorrow," Ren told him, then hung up. She walked to her room and climbed into bed. She drifted into an uneasy sleep.

"Flight 135, now board flight 135!" a voice on the loud speaker said. Ren breathed in deep and got in line to board. She handed the man her ticket and he instructed her to board the plane. She found her seat and sat next to a tall black man. He had glasses and a long face. Ren looked at him and smiled. He was really cute.

"Hi," she said sitting next to him. He looked at her.

"Hello." His voice was deep and sexy. Ren looked him over twice.

"Im Ren, and you are?" she asked.

"Im Larry, Larry Beale," he said, still looking forward. Ren smiled.

"I used to know a Larry Beale. Back in Sacramento," she said, looking out the window.

"I used to know a Ren when I lived in Sacramento. Her name was Ren Stevens." Ren got wide eyed.

"Im Ren Stevens!" Ren said. Larry looked at her.

"No way! Damn girl, you got fine!" Ren blushed and laughed.

"Larry, I must say, you are quite cute yourself," Ren looked at him again.

"I take it your not married," she said. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"No," he said. She looked at him, defiantly interested.
