Untitled (I didn't have a name for this one)

After the big pillow fight, we all started to talk again.

"So, what do you want it to be? Boy or girl?" I asked.

"I want it to be a boy! What about you, Delia? I mean, if you ever have a baby."

"I want it to be a girl."

"Hey, Delia, wouldn't it be funny if my baby turns out to be another girl? And when you have a baby, it'd be a boy!"

"DON'T JINX US!" I yelled, throwing a pillow at her. Christina just started to laugh hard.

Our new friend, Spencer Hale

Samuel had a lot of friends who were brainy like him.

I remember when I met one of his friends, Spencer Hale. He was nice, I guess. He was one of Samuel's top students. He lived in Greenfield; he wanted to become a Pokemon researcher. He's from Johto, but he came here to learn and study Samuel's work.

I was still in college when I met him. I kinda had a little crush on him. He was really handsome. I loved the way Spencer looked; he was so dreamy! But for some reason Samuel didn't like the idea of me flirting with Spencer. He stared at me weirdly when I flirted with his student. He also hated for us to stand next to each other. He'd make us stand apart. So I stopped flirting with Spencer... at least, I tried to stop.

A lot of people thought Spencer and I were dating. I remember one person who wanted to take a picture of Spencer and me together. We were driving to a "field trip," as Sam called it. We went to his old house, which was near a field of fresh green grass.

Samuel asked if he could get in the shot with us. Before I answered, he stood in the center of the shot. I remember I had the funniest hairdo. I also remember wearing a green skirt. I decided that it'd be best if I sat on the fence--I hated being shorter then everyone else. The person who really wanted to take this shot was Christina. She's weird like that.

After that, Samuel took us home and drove away with Spencer. Christina and I went back to the old dorm. Christina was about 5 months pregnant with her little girl.

"So, what is her name going to be?"

"I don't know. I was thinking of Mimi."

"Mimi? Nope, I really think you should match your kids' names!"

"What do you mean?"

"Daisy, Lilly and Violet all have flower names!"

"But my boyfriend's last name is Waterflower."

"Um... what about... Rose!"

"NO!"

"Ok, ok. Maybe Rosy?"

"NO ROSE NAMES!" Christina yelled. Then we saw this magazine with a new perfume on sale. We both smelled the paper to smell the perfume.

"I love this one! It smells so sweet! I think I'd wear this one everyday and never get tired of it!"

"What is it called?"

"Um... Victory Mist... I mean, Victory Misty."

"What a pretty but weird name. They should've called it just plain 'Misty.'"

"Yeah... Misty."

"Misty?"

"MISTY! MISTY WATERFLOWER!"

"I love that name!"

"Misty Waterflower," she repeated again dreamily.

The necklace (This sounds like the short story I once read. Hm.)

I got another letter from my mother. Before I opened it, someone knocked on the door. Darn it, I know it's more Flowers and candies from Giovanni.

I open the door. It was him, he's here... in my dorm.

"Miss me?"

"Yeah," I lied. I had never lied to anyone before. But I was upset and heartbroken. I felt my world had fallen when I heard that Samuel was getting married.

"May I come in?" he asked. I saw some of his body guards by the stairs.

"Sure, I guess." I let him in, and he sat on the couch.

"Hm... Who's this?" he asked, looking at the address from the letter I got.

"Oh, that's my mom. Do you want some tea or something?" I asked with a smile.

"Oh, if it's not any trouble."

"No. Not at all. I'll be back." I said, walking to the kitchen.

A/N: I'm going to explain this part of the story that Delia won't get to tell you. Cuz she didn't see this!

Giovanni looked at the letter, then got a piece of paper from his pocket and a pen that he found on the coffee table. He looked at the letter and wrote something on the paper. It looked like he was copying something from the letter. Then he quickly put the paper in his coat's secret inside pocket. He put the pen back on the coffee table and set the letter back on the couch.

He looked around the room and saw a package--it was from Delia's mother. Must be a gift or something. It was a very tiny package. Giovanni opened it and saw a necklace, 16 K gold. It had the word "Delia" on it. Giovanni put it in his pocket, closed the box, and put it back on the corner of the coffee table.

Delia walked in. (Ok, now she's going to finish talking here! Bye bye (o^_~o)

"Here you go," I said, handing him the cup.

"Thank you." Giovanni took a sip then put it on the table carefully.

"So, what did you want?" I asked him.

"What is your answer, Delia?" Giovanni asked, looking into my eyes.

"I can't. I... I... I just can't. I need to stay here!" I said. I felt bad for turning him down.

"That's ok. I want you to know that I'm here for you," Giovanni said, leaning in to kiss me. The kiss was long but sweet.

"Goodbye, Delia" he said, getting up and walking away.

"Good... bye, Giovanni." I was shocked that he kissed me.

The door shut and I was ready to open that letter from my mother and the box she sent. Until... Knock, knock, knock...

"Who is it?" I asked, not wanting to get up.

"Samuel."

I sighed and rolled my eyes. Not him... wait, what am I thinking? He's still my friend!

"Come in." Sam walked in the front room and then sat by me.

"Hello, stranger!" I said. Sam and I hardly see each other now. He's getting married and now is a high honors teacher. Also his age is beginning to show. His hair is turning a little grayish kind of color. He stopped wearing sweaters and now wears a t-shirt and a lab coat. That show off! Now that he wears that, I always seem to call him that! (LOL)

Before I got to say a word, his stomach started talking to me. "Hungry, huh, Samuel?"

"Like always. Food is my only real love!" he said, chuckling a little.

"God, you have like ten stomachs, don't you?"

"No, not true. I have 15."

I smiled and went to the kitchen to make some food for him.

A/N: Here I go yet again! ^_~. Unknown to Delia.

Samuel saw the letter and read the name of the person who sent it. "So your mother sent you a letter, huh?"

Delia was in the kitchen talking back to him. "Yeah, she did."

Samuel saw a small box on the floor. He picked it up, but before he opened it, Delia walked in the room. "Looking for something?"

"Nope, I'm just nosy, that's all!" Sam put the box down on the floor and looked at Delia.

"You want some rice and pork chops?"

"Sounds great!"

My friend or my lover?

It was Friday morning. I found the letter--I must have forgotten to open it. As I sat on the table, I opened the letter and started to read it.

Dear Delia,

I know I taught you some manners! Why didn't you write me back?

I know you must be busy with school and all, but please write back to me!

I want to know how you are doing. I'm just fine.

I found some of your stuff from when you were a little girl. I sent you a

necklace. Your father gave it to you when you were little. It has your name

on it. He wanted you to wear it. If only he were alive to see you now, he'd

be so proud of you. You're a very smart girl; you're not like those other girls

in the world these days, you're smarter and prettier than them. You're also still

a virgin!

I kind of blushed at this. I must be so pitiful--even my own mother knows I'm still a virgin.

Delia, I got you a ring. It's the same ring that your father gave me when he

proposed to me. I hope that, whenever you decide to get married, you'll give this

to your husband. I didn't put it in the same box, it's with this letter. I

found it; it was so beautiful. My mother was lucky to have my father as her

husband. He was a loyal man.

Well, I have to go, sweety. Remember to change your you-know-what every day.

Tootsies,

Mom

PS: I love you!

I sighed... and thought about the last part. "Change your you-know-what everyday." I'm older now! A mother only says that to a child, not a 20 year old woman! Oh, well, that's Mother for you.

I saw the package. I should open it. No, I need to write back to Mom before I forget. I walked into my room and sat on my bed, with a notebook and a pen.

Dear Mom,

I'm doing just fine. Today I kind of messed up the cooking. I'm trying!

That's what really counts!

I'm getting B's in my English class. I met some friends over here. I have

a roommate named Christina. She's really nice, Mom, and you'd like her. Also

I have another friend named Samuel Oak. He's really sweet and nice. He's also

funny. We are great friends.

I also have a boyfriend. His name is Giovanni. He's sweet to me. He has a business.

He works in some factories. He is really handsome; I really think you'd like him!

Well, I'm sorry this is really short but I need to get up early tomorrow.

Bye, Mother!

Love,

Delia

PS: I love you too!

After that, I laid in bed and fell asleep. The next morning, I awoke and saw Christina. She was trying to see what was in the box.

"Would you stop being nosy?" I yelled.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it!"

I took the package away and got dress for my classes I had to go today.

(After all of Delia's classes)

"Delia, you going to go with Samuel and me to pick out some stuff for the wedding?" Christina asked.

"Oh. Why not?" I said.

We went to store after store after store, and we all got tired. As we were going home, Christina had one of her "ideas"!

"Come on, let's go clubbing now that we all are here!"

"Sure," Samuel agreed.

"I don't--"

"Oh, come on, Delia, please!" she begged me.

"Fine."

We went to the dumb club. I knew Giovanni would be there. I knew it, and I was right.

"Hello, my dear," he said, kissing my neck.

(A/N: Now I must tell the rest)

Delia started to talk to Giovanni, unaware that this is Sam's last night to see Delia again.

TO BE CONTINUED...
