Troy turned over and faced the girl next to him, the beautiful girl, the one with the kindest heart, the one that was perfect for him. And yet she wasn't the one he wanted. His wife of 5 years was not the person he wanted. He loved her but only because he felt that he had to.
"Troy, stare at me all you want, I'm tired we'll do it tomorrow." His wife uttered the words without even opening her eyes.
"No I was just basking in your beauty." he smiled, this was not a lie he really did think she was beautiful.
"look I cant sleep, I'm just going for a drive, maybe that will help." Troy got up from the bed and put his sweats that were hanging at the bottom of the bed post. He grabbed his car keys and made his way towards his car.
He turned off the ignition and stared at the house, the huge house he would stare at every other night, since 3 months ago when he saw Gabriella in the supermarket, and followed her home.
He scrolled down to the list of phone numbers and sighted Gabriella's name.
should I call her? After 5 years, I doubt she would want to talk to me. thoughts ran through his head, the same thoughts he had every time he looked at that house. He always had the urge to call her but was too cowardice to go through with it.
He stared at the phone and just like coincidence, it began to ring. Loud. He quickly answered it.
"hello?" he said worriedly.
"Troy where are you, I woke up and you weren't by my side." he sighed at his wife constant need to be close to him.
"I just went out for a drive."
"at 2am! Troy that's crazy."
"yeah I know." he looked out to the white building. " I know. Look I'm driving back now, see you later."
"ok, Love you Troy." she added.
"Love you too Alison." he hung up, and turned his key in the ignition. No sound.
"crap, why wont it start?" he pushed the key once again into the ignition, and yet there was still nothing happening. He got out of his car and took a look under the hood. His battery seemed to have died. This was going to be a long night.
She pulled back the curtains a little as she looked out of the window, there he was again, and right on time too. But tonight he seemed to be having some car trouble.
"babe, close the curtains and come back to bed, ive got work early tomorrow." and with a sigh he once again placed his head back on the pillow.
Gabriella looked at her long term boyfriend. Ryan Evans. She smiled at the sight of him peacefully sleeping, she took off her robe and got back into the bed and snuggled up close to him, and tried to go to sleep, but the thought of Troy standing out there. Outside her house. Made her restless, she hadn't seen him in 5 years, and suddenly he jumps back into her life. She didn't understand. Ryan turned over so his back was facing Gabriella. Troy never turned his back on her, he always made sure he would sleep so he could face her, and every time she'd wake up, she would know he was there watching out for her. Why was she thinking like this? Troy and her had been over a while ago, so why was she feeling this way? She quietly got out of the bed and made her way into the kitchen.
She began to make a pot of coffee, two mugs.
He tried and tried but it was no use the car just refused to co-operate. He sighed angrily and got back into his car and closed his eye.
"thought you might need some coffee." the sweet sound could be recognised from anywhere. His heart skipped a beat. Was it true? Was it really her? He turned his head to face the person and sure enough there was his high school sweetheart, Gabriella. She was the love of his life. In fact she still was.
