Time Goes On Forever

by: Divine Miss J

People say that time can heal everything. All you need is time. It's been six years since I have seen her or heard her sweet soft voice but I can still smell the faint scent of vanilla from her. Maybe I'm crazy or maybe I'm just stupid, but sometimes when I fall asleep, I dream of her. I dream of her long legs, her beautiful blonde hair, her lovable smile, but mostly her gorgeous eyes. Her beautiful blue eyes, that use to inspire me to do the unimaginable. Those eyes that use to look at me with such imagination and aspiration, still makes me shiver. Those eyes…

People say that all you need is time for a heart to heal, but it has been six years… and I can still feel the pain. Yes, the pain isn't as great, and I can live without saying her name or even thinking about her. But when I do…I feel as though my heart can not beat and my body goes numb.

It has been six years since I have seen her. I could not believe it when she invited me for dinner. As I opened the door to the restaurant, nervousness ensued and my palms became sweaty. I was greeted by the host who had a mustache and spoke with a French accent.

"ALLO, Monsieur! How are you this fine day?"

"I'm fine. I am supposed to be meeting a lady here. Her name is Ser-"

"Ah! Are you not Darien Shields?"

"Yes, is she here?"

"Yes! She is at the bar waiting for you!"

"Thank you," I said and walked toward the bar.

As I approached the bar, I could hear her familiar giggle. She was sitting on the stool, looking elegant as ever. The black dress she wore reminded me how more stunning she was in person than in my images. The dress was modestly cut in the front, but I could see it showed her slim back. Memories of me passionately kissing her neck filled my head. I tried to think of something else. I chose to look at her long blonde hair but jealousy filled me as I saw her laughing with the bartender.

After the bartender left, I finally built up the courage to speak with her. I walked up to her cautiously as if to make sure it was her and not my mind playing tricks on me. The Armani suit I wore suddenly felt heavy and my legs felt stiff. I was about five feet away from her, when she suddenly turned around and met my eyes with her astonishing blue.

We stared at each other for I don't know how long. Feelings filled my whole body. I knew I should say something but I was too captivated by her. I smiled at her, hoping this was good enough. She smiled back and plainly said, "Whatever took you so long?"

I was speechless. These was her first words to me. Her first sentence in over six years to me was whatever took you so long! I couldn't help but laugh.

She stood up and came over to me. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and said hello. The softness of her cheek was so much more than I had remembered.

"Our table will be ready in a few minutes." She paused and smiled, "Have a drink!"

"What are you having…let see Vodka Martini?"

"Yes, you know that's my favorite drink!"

"I'll have the same as the lady," I said to the bartender.

"It's been a while," she said softly. I could barely hear the next words that came out of her mouth, "You look just as handsome as ever"

She turned her head, and took a deep breath before taking a sip of her drink. I wondered what she was thinking.

"How are you?" I asked

"Fabulous!" she said with pure excitement, "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Of course I do. How could one forget," I laughed.

"Things were so simple back then. So easy and not so… complex"

"I don't know about that." I dimly responded. "To think it was only 9 years ago."

9 YEARS EARLIER

The sun was shinning brightly yet it was only 8:00 in the morning. I was finally in New York! New York! I was ready for anything! Yes, the taxi cab smelled like aging Chinese food and I only had $612 dollars but I was ready.

Brooklyn was an interesting place. The taxi left me off at my destination. An old apartment building that looked intimidating but pleasant enough at the same time. I rang the doorbell for C6 and hoped my new roommate was in.

"WHAT THE HELL! ITS 8:00 IN THE FUCKING MORNING!"

I looked up to see an angry blonde handsome kid shouting out his window.

"UHHH…. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHERE ANDREW KINGSTON IS?"

"I'M ANDREW!"

"HI! I'M DARIEN! YOUR KNEW ROOMATE!"

"OH! FOR JESUS CHRIST! I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!"

I wasn't scared but I was a little anxious of meeting him. He didn't seem like the type of people from Ohio.

The door opened and Andrew stepped out.

"Hey man! Sorry about that! I just like my sleep!" He said smiling. He put his hand out, "Andy Kingston, Nice to meet you."

"Darien Shields" I shook his hand.

"So is this all your stuff?" He said pointing to my two suitcases.

"Yeah this is it," I said with a shrug.

He grabbed one of my suitcases and I the other and we headed our way to his apartment.

"Ugh… the damn elevator is broke again. Thank God there is only 5 floors."

"Which floor are we on?"

"Fourth."

We then heard bunches of giggles. We looked downstairs and saw two beautiful blonde girls heading up the stairs, giggling about who knows what. One wore a shimmering bold orange short dress that would have looked tacky on anyone else, but on her she was a knock out. The other wore a blue short dress but had white flowers on it. AS I said before, they were beautiful. I had never seen such gorgeous girls throughout my entire life.

"Gorgeous, aren't they?" Andrew said dreamily as he looked at them

"Yeah…DO you know them?"

"Oh they are the two twin princesses that live right above us!"

"Twin Princesses?"

"Well they aren't really Twins, or princesses. But that's what I call them" He whispered, "They are in between models. Looking for their big break."

"I'm surprised they haven't been picked up yet."

"The one in the orange is Mina. The other is Serena."

"Do you know them personally," I asked hoping this didn't seem wrong.

"No. I wished. I mean I talk to them occasionally but I'm not good enough to go out with them?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not rich…But someday I will be… But right now I'm a poor artist that serves coffee for a living."

"I guess I'm in the same boat as you… I'm an aspiring writer" I said dramatically.

He laughed and we continued up the stairs. We then heard a loud thud and crying.

"OH MY GOD! SERENA!"

Andrew and I both looked downstairs to see Serena lying on the floor crying.

We both rushed down, to help.

"Andrew, she was walking up and she fell backwards." Mina said hysterically," I think we had too much to drink last night!"

Andrew consoled Mina and I went to Serena. She held her ankle and looked at me with her soft blue eyes.

"Are you alright?"

"I...I don't know. My ankle really hurts like a bitch!"

"Um…I'm going to try to feel if any bones are broken. Is that okay?"

"Yeah?"

I suddenly felt hot as my fingers touched her cool creamy skin. I took her shoe off and saw her perfectly pedicure nails. I felt around her ankle, hoping she didn't see my reddening face. I felt a bone sticking out and I knew that was not a good sign.

"I think you need to go to the hospital?"

"Oh God!"

"Here I'll help you"

"Thanks"

"I'll meet you there!" Mina said.

I picked Serena up and called out for a taxi. Thankfully one arrived quickly.

"Nearest Hospital please." I said.

I put her in and sat next to her, allowing her to put her leg on mine. I didn't feel as self-conscious.

"I'm Serena" She said trying to hold back tears. She smiled at me, "And may I ask, Who is this knight who saved me,"

I smiled and answered, "Darien Shields. I'm Andrew's new roommate."

"Well isn't this a way for introductions."

I laughed. "You can cry if you want to. I'm sure it hurts a whole lot."

"Thanks" and she began to softly cry, as I tried to soothe her.

How was it?
