NOT LIKE THE MOVIES
Chapter Ten - No More Interruptions Please

It wasn't such a smart idea to be spending the evening in Central Park but the weather was more than perfect. Clear skies – not a single cloud – mild winds and some lovely company; it couldn't have been more flawless than it was at the very moment. Not even the enormous buildings could block the moonlight cracking through the sky. The night was just plain old beautiful.

Popping up from the 5th Avenue subway entrance, Kelly and Justin were greeted by the refreshing air. The subway was much too warm and the cool but mild air was much of a relief. It was close to midnight – just a few moments away from the little hand reaching the twelve mark.

"It's such a beautiful night," When he would look up at the giant skyscrapers surrounding him, he couldn't imagine how he ended up in a city like this. Justin Gabriel was lucky to be in a place like this – not everyone is given this chance.

The small blonde nodded in agreement, "I just wish every night was a night like this, you know – now normally, I don't come to Central Park late at night but nothing was really happening where we were in the first place and I also love Central Park – it's my favorite place in all of New York," he noise crinkled up, "Actually, when I think of it – it's my favorite place in the whole world."

"What's so special about Central Park? It's just a park –"

Clearly, he hadn't known the special meaning behind this specific location, "It's not just a park. It's that piece of the city where you can enter it and forget about all your worries," The two continued side by side, into the entrance of the park. They weren't alone – the park was occupied by a few people and a horse and buggy, "The City is such a chaotic place sometimes and Central Park is like escaping all of that – being as the closet place to everyone."

"I've got to agree with you – it's like as if its New York's sanctuary."

Sanctuary would be the perfect words used to describe Central Park's presence in the busy borough of Manhattan.

There was giant tree lying right before them. Its roots dug deep into the ground and it's many branches sprouted out and into the open. It was almost like a tree you'd see in the creation story – with Adam and Eve. The product laid right out in the center and the two continued straight for it.

"Sitting beside that tree is my favorite spot here. When I was a little girl, I'd always play around that tree. I know it's going to sound weird but that tree provides me with some comfort – knowing everything will be okay. You probably think I'm some sort of freak when I say a tree provides me comfort."

He chuckled, "No, I don't think you're a freak –" he denied, "– I think it's actually kind of cute."

"But I'm serious. Even know, after I have a bad day and all – I come over here, sometimes accompanied by my non-fat skim latte and I sit here and I think about my life. What has happened, what will happen. I sound like some spiritual idiot, don't I?"

"I know –"

Following his response, he felt a shock of pain onto his shoulder, "You weren't supposed to agree with me. This is the part you tell me that I am wrong and I'm not an insane woman you think I am."

This conversation wasn't going anywhere and it had to come to an end. Luckily the end was in sight when Justin caught a small ice cream stand coming along the way, "How about I get you some ice cream and we can forget this whole matter?"

"I like the way you think, Mr. Gabriel."

Justin got a chocolate cone while Kelly opted for the strawberry ice cream. He examined the way Kelly's lips would indulge on the sweet treat and couldn't help but think about how cute she was looking. What he wouldn't do just to get the sweet taste of her lips onto his. He couldn't deny it – Kelly was driving him mad. It took all the strength not to just take that cone, push it aside and let him be the tasty treat against her lips. She began to smile, when she noticed the stare Justin was giving her.

"You keep staring – do I have something on my face or something?"

"Oh no – no, I was just um –" Excuses – he need one as quickly as possible, "– shall we continue walking?"

She quickly forgot about whatever Justin had been staring at and proceeded down the paved pathway. The moon was brighter than it was on other days – it may have a lot to do with the cloudless sky hanging from above but it was truly a beautiful night. It was so bright that there wasn't much need of the lamp posts along the pathway.

"This somewhat reminds me of what Mickie and I use to do on days like these."

She grew alarmed at the mention of Mickie. She hoped that maybe he was talking about the cartoon character and not some girl, "Whose Mickie?"

Did that just slip out of his mind? Shit. Did I have to say that? "I shouldn't have said anything – forget that I said that name."

Surely, he was hiding something and Kelly was going to search for the truth, "Is Mickie your girlfriend or something?" She stated what she believed and she surely had hope that it wasn't the truth.

"No – she's not my girlfriend but she was," He revealed, quickly finished what was left of the ice scream and tossing the napkin into the nearby trash, "Why did I bring her name up in the first place? She's not that important."

"Well she seemed important enough to remind you about something," Mickie had some significant effect on Justin – it was clear, "You can talk to me about here but that's if you want too."

His feelings were truly all still bottled up inside and weren't going far. Holding them in would just make the issue more worse than it already was so what was the hurt in letting it all out? Nothing.

"I was in love with this girl. The thing was she wasn't just any girl. There was so much more. She was just utterly perfect in every way possible. Not a single flaw inside. I'd do just about anything for this girl and I really mean anything but sometimes things don't go as planned. She had to leave for some job and I was willing to go with her but then she told me something I clearly couldn't. She fell in love with someone else. So she left, with the new person in her life and I was left alone. Yeah, this isn't particularly a subject I talk to anyone about much. I usually keep this under wraps being that it's personally."

The subject wasn't a light one for Justin. This girl had a tremendous impact on his life and by the simple look into his eyes; Kelly could see the story of heartbreak and destruction.

Kelly finished whatever was left of her ice cream and thought it wouldn't hurt to do talk about her own personal experiences on failed love, "Since we're sharing, I might as well tell you about my story and it isn't much of a happy one either."

"You really don't have too."

"But I want to. Your sharing and I should share as well," the blonde continued, "I had what I thought had to be the perfect relationship. He was everything I looked for in a guy – smart, funny, caring. I thought it was completely flawless and perfect – little did I know. I didn't even get a clue that something was wrong, I just thought everything was okay until one day. He just tells me that he doesn't want to be in a relationship and that the two of us want different things. The whole time I thought we were perfect for one another but one day that all decides to take a turn for the worse and make a 360 degree turn. I don't get it. Everything was so good – so perfect – and in a moment, it all changed. Was it me? Was it him? I can't begin to tell you all the questions that surfaced after that."

The two had a lot more in common than they thought, "I asked myself every question you could think of. I always looked for a way to blame myself but then I've come to realize something. I didn't do nothing wrong and you shouldn't think that either. Whatever happened, happened. What we say now or realize isn't going to change the past and that's why I've learned to expect what happened and move on."

He had a strong and valid point. The past is called the past for a reason and Kelly had to let it go. All of it – the questions and assumptions had to come to an end. This talk proved more than just to let things out but to realize something important.

"Your right – it feels good to let things out."

"Maybe this was a good idea that we talk this whole thing out? At first, I thought it was kind of a bad idea but now I'm really happy we decided to talk to one another about this and who knew that two of us both had similar situations. First being stood up and now this."

Justin could only take this as a sign that this was meant to be. This spark with Kelly felt so right and there was so much more between these two bursting between these two. Kelly suddenly stopped right where she was standing. Justin couldn't help but look at the plump lips resting on her face and Justin slowly swift down hoping to catch a taste but it was suddenly it was interrupted before anything could even happen.

Some loud and annoying disrupted their moment and quickly, before anything could be said, Justin pulled way and started to walk up ahead, with Kelly following behind. His one moment had completely been ruined by a rude interruption. Kelly remained not too distant behind him – only a few steps – and managed to catch up. In the split moment, Justin felt presence around his hand once again. He was pretty surprised when he found Kelly by his side and Kelly's hand clutched tightly onto his.

He smiled for a moment before asking her a question, "Why are you holding my hand? Is there someone staring at us?"

Her lips coiled into a smirk and simply said, "No – I just want too."
