Chapter VI- Out On A Limb
I could tell Jeff was trying to stay calm.
" I hope so. I like you a lot and I want this to work."
" We can talk when you get here, but I really have to go now. Bye."
When I hung up the phone I felt this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. What was I doing? I cared about Jeff and it wouldn't hurt to listen to what he had to say, but Nick was here and things had been good with us. I told Nick that all of a sudden I wasn't in the mood to party and asked him to leave. He put up a fight but he respected my whishes and he left.
When I got home from work Nick had left six messages on my machine. He called to check up on me and see if I was alright. I went upstairs to take a shower but before I could get in I heard a knock at the door.
" Who is it?" I say yelling from the stairs.
Delivery for Miss Alexus Hardy.
" Be right there."
When I open the door a man is holding a mixed bouquet and a giant teddy bear.
" Sign here ma'am." The delivery guy said.
When I closed the door I realized there was a card in the flowers.
Alexus, I'm sorry about how I acted on the phone its just that when I heard that guy I freaked. I know that isn't an excuse but I hate not being able to be there with you. I had a dream that when I got home you were no longer there and I broke down in tears. I woke up in a cold sweat and couldn't get you out of my mind. I have been with women before but I have never met anyone like you. You are everything that I am looking for and the thought of losing you drives me crazy. Please don't give up on me. I'll be home soon and hopefully we can straighten all this mess out.
Sincerely, Jeff
P.S. I wrote this poem for you: (A Lot in Common) You're beautiful...but strange...So am I.
You're smart...but still slow...So am I.
You're impatient...but fast...So am I.
You're tired...but still last...So do I.
You're hot...but still cold...So am I.
You're established...but not old...So am I.
You're waiting...but happy...So am I.
You're leaving...but staying...So am I.
You're amazing...but weird...So am I.
You're yourself...but still feared...So am I.
We both want to be...A forever seen star.
I have to say...a lot in common is what we are
All I could do was cry. This man was so perfect but still he is his job and I don't know if I can contend with the world of pro wrestling.
