Closing the Door
Kendall paced back and forth in his living room. Nina called him and said she would be over to talk. He didn't know if it was good news or bad, he was aiming for good. Especially since he was going to announce his love for her. As crazy as it sounded to him, he had been anticipating this for the last week. How was he going to tell he messed up. That even though he broke her heart and lefted their family for a stranger, he wanted to come back home. Kendall wanted his family back.

Nina was running late. After taking the girls to school and meeting with her attorney to pick up the divorce papers, now she was in a mini traffic jam on the way to Kendall's place. She was kind of nervous and she didn't know why. She didn't know how Kendall would take this, she was assuming he would take it as good news considering he was trying to make a "new life" but she was still unsure. Something in the pit of her stomach didn't feel right. Her brain was telling her this was a good idea, a new start for the both of you. But in the deep depths of her heart, she had hopes that Kendall would change his mind about everything and choose her and love her. Wait, why would she even want him too? After all the pain and suffering he put her through, she should be done with him. She is done with him. And besides she had Eric and she wasn't going to give him up.
"So Kendall I really need to talk to you. And Ann," Nina said hastingly as soon as she walked inside his doorway. "Well hello to you too," He chuckled as she took a seat on his new leather couch, "And speaking of Ann, we broke up a week ago". He flopped on the couch next to her half smiling. She gave him a sympathic look and hugged tightly. "I'm so sorry Kendall, Are you okay". Kendall closed his eyes as he inhaled the sweet jasmine scent of her hair. He smiled as he indulged her soft body near his firm one. "I am now," he whispered near her ear. After she heard that, she was confused. She thought that Ann was what he wanted, the little blond barbie that he always wanted to play with. Ann was his ultimate fantasy, and now he had her. So what was his problem? She must had found someone better and broke things off with him, Nina thought, the poor guy. But what was up with that remark he made about being okay now. She was confused. She slowly pulled back and looked at him with confusion in her eyes as he looked at her with so much lust in his. Kendall slowly moved closer and closer to her lips. When his lips touched hers they instantly went at it. All the passion that they once had magicly reappeared when his tongue entered Nina's mouth. She nibbled on his ear which drove him crazy. Kendall was in the paradise, the paradise that he once called home.
Things got heated between them as Nina removed Kendall's shirt and rubbed her fingers through his damped hair, reality hit her hard like a rock. What was she doing? She didn't belong here anymore. He wasn't hers anymore. She roughly pushed him off of her, a lip smacking sound escaping their lips. "What the hell do you think you're doing," Nina bitterly yelled. Kendall chest heaved up and down as he looked at her confused but still full of lust. "I thought I could get my beautiful wife back. That is what you wanted to talk about right". She looked at him with so much anger and hurt. "Oh please Kendall. The only reason I came to talk to you is because of this," She sneered as she dugged in her purse and pulled out the divorce papers, "I want a divorce".
Divorce. Kendall was taken back by this. Divorce. The whole full year they had been separated divorce never was mentioned. For some reason he was convinced that Separation was all that was going to happen between them. It must be that idiot she's been seeing that put this nonsense in her head, Kendall thought to himself. "Divorce. We don't need a divorce," Kendall's voice cracked. Nina shooked her head looking down at her shoes. She couldn't look Kendall in the eyes, all the pain rushed back to her. "Why not Kendall? Remember you were the one who wanted to "re-evaluate" your new life. Now it's my turn," she tearfully told him, "First you don't want me, now you do. Make up your mind. Is the only reason why you want me because Ann dumped you". Nina angerly took a breath. "No! I broke up with her. I did it for us. I need you. We need each other," Kendall spoke gently grabbing her hands. Nina snatched them away harshly. "There is no us, Kendall. And I don't need you. I have my children, my family, friends, and now I have Eric". Kendall scoffed and laughed out loud. "Eric. Is he the reason why you want this all of a sudden? I don't trust that guy with you or the girls Marlina. I don't like him trying to control you," Kendall complained. Nina bit her lip and folded her arms sharply. "Kendall do you hear yourse-. I don't have time for this okay," Nina told Kendall pulling out the papers and sitting them on his coffee table, "I'll be back for the signed papers when I bring the girls over Friday". She turned around and walked out of Kendall's place brutally slamming his door shut.
