Things People Say

Chapter 1: Perfect

The summer before Jesse left was a perfect one, we spent every day together; before work, after work, before we went to sleep, when we wake up in the morning. We lived together for a little while in a small apartment but we didn't mind, it was perfect for us. We even went on a road trip on his last weekend in California. That weekend, we drove down the pacific coast high way, just enjoying the coastal beauty of California until we ended up in Santa Barbara. There, we walked along the beach holding hands and he told me that he loved me and he always will, of course, I felt the same about him!

"Are you sure you can't come with me?" He asked, looking at me as if he's trying to persuade me.

"You know I can't, I have my work secured here in California and besides, once my father gets out of the hospital, I would have to take care of him." I answered.

"Right," He got quiet.

"How long will you be in New York?" I asked,

"I don't know, that's why I wanted you to come."

"Will you come visit?"

"We'll talk on the phone and Skype every night… that's only if you want." He said smirking.

"Of course I'd love to Skype with you!" I answered as I punched him jokingly on the arm "but will you visit?"

"Yes, Querida, I will try to visit you, at least for the holidays."

"You better" I said with a grin as I pulled on his hand and we walked along the beach.

Jesse chuckled and said "I know this."

After the weekend, we went home and I helped him packed his things and set up for his flight in two days. As sad as I was, about him leaving, I couldn't leave everything behind in Carmel; my job and my family, especially when my father needs me. I just hope we can make it with the distance.

Jesse was hired by a huge company in New York; Briggs and Wilkinson Co., they hired him as the head of their marketing team. The first time he told me about it, I was very happy for him but when I found out he had to move, I didn't know how to feel about it. I loved him and I wanted him to stay with me in Carmel, but I thought that would be selfish me to not support him. He did everything he could to be hired by the company and when they finally did, I didn't want to be the one who held him back so I just told him I'm happy for him and I never said anything else that might suggest otherwise.

"What will you do once you get there?" I asked Jesse as I folded his clothes and lay it down on his suitcase.

He smirked and responded, "Oh I don't know, maybe pet some unicorns and feed some polar bears…"

He is such a smartass sometimes! But I love that about him.

"Now you're just making me jealous, you know I've always wanted to pet those magical unicorns."

He laughed as he walked towards me, picked me up and pin me down on our bed.

"You're silly," He said as he kissed me. His kisses were always the best; they always melt my heart and make my knees weak.

"YOU'RE silly, and I love you." I replied with a huge grin on my face.

He smiled at me and gave me another kiss, "I love you the most, Querida."
