Chapter Fifeteen-Lovely.
Six Months...
The sun lightly, peaked in through the window shades as Charity peacefully stirred in her sleep slowly waking up.She slowly opened her eyes, tossing herself over only to see a rose where Miguel slept, not too long ago.She smiled as she picked it up, and read the letter full of loving endearments which stuck onto the flower.Lifting the sheets she slowly got herself out of bed, as she did that she realized that from the next four months on getting in and out of places would be a living hell! she was sixth months pregnant now, and her stomach was huge.Luckily for her she was on maternity leave, so she could be as lazy as she very well pleased.It was valintine's day, and the edges of her window where covered in winter frost, she made her way to her window to admire how the snow lightly sprinkled itself over everything in it's way she loved days like this...and she loved valintine's day even more.slowly again she pulled herself away from the picturesque scene, as she made her way to other places.
Tania and Kori stood at her locker, looking at the note and rose in puzzlement.
"second one this week."Kori began in awe."girl, I think you have a secret admierer.Ooh! what if it's Trevon." she squealed hapilly.
"I doubt it! sounds more like I have a stalker Kori this is freaky."Tania replied honestly afraid.
Kori glared at her friend."do you know how lucky you are?do you know how much I'd love for some guy to be dropping love poems with long stem roses on my locker?"she exclaimed her voice raising in anger.
"aww girl I'm---"
"just read the damn letter please."she hissed.
"okay."she quickly responded as she snatched the note form her locker letting the rose fall to the floor.She read the poem almost feeling touched by the words."this is beautiful."she continued solemly.
"well don't just stand there read it!"
*Her steps are sweet and soultry...she walks with music.
Catching the attention of everyone she happens to meet...she walks with music.
The confidence, and beauty of a true queen I see as she passes me by....she walks with music.
I hope one day, I'll be lucky enough to....or brave enough to tell her that the music I hear when she
surroundes me is of I sound I've never heard, of I sound I could play again again in my mind for the
end of my days.
Maybe one day I too will be lucky enough for her to turn her miraculous symphony my way,
and say:"you walk with music..."*
"wow."Kori marveled."that was pretty deep, who ever wrote this must have it real bad for you girl."
Tania bent down, and picked up the rose lightly smelling it as she played around with it.Was it really Trevon? no, he was as deep as an empty coke bottle, he could never write anything this beautiful;but if it wasn't him, them who was it, she couldn't believe she was acctually falling for her 'admierer.' the letteres that he'd been leaving for the past week her so really go to her, and she couldn't wait to finally meet him...whoever 'he' was.
Reese and jessica sat in her living room going over the final copy of the invite list.The wedding was finally comming to fit together...and it was just as extravagent, and exhuberant as Jessica hope it would be.Jessica would always neglect to put her father's name on the list, by the way his little protest had progressed the las, oh let's say...six months!
"Mrs.Higgins? who's she Jess."
"oh, well that's my acting teacher sweetie...she's been so great to me, it'd be insane to leave her out of the wedding."
"o-k-a-y."Reese replied as she went through, the names."oh you have to be kidding me!? Edna Wallace and Tanitha Lenox."
"what's so crazy about that?"
"they are!"he whinned.
"please, tell me you didn't meet that Reese."Jessica closed her eyes letting Reese now he was in for some trouble, but he didn't care! there was no way in hell that he was letting some crazy old ladies with naughty pincing hands in her wedding...hell no!
"I did, there not comming to the wedding Jessica, and that's---that's final."
Theresa took a quiet stroll down the pier, watching all the happy lovers...do all there happy in love things.Oh how she hated them, hugging and kissing fondling all over each other with those disgusting looks of oowey goowey happiness.She paused as she felt entranced by the water crashing onto the shore, the only thing that wasn't disgusting her at this point.
"miss independant!" she heard from behind, as Ricky came towards her."I thought, I'd never see you again."
"just your luck I guess." she teased, as she turned and once again foccused on the water,Rick taking his place beside her.
"...I hate Valintine's day."Theresa began, breaking the brief silence.
"what? a cute little thing like you, I'm sure you get tons of 'bee my valintine's'...get it Bee."Rick joked while nodging her in a goofy manner.
She laughed breifly before, turning to him."oh my God, you're flirting with me! aren't you?"she squealed,as she playfully hit him.
"flirting with you?"he looked at her awkwardly."well, now that would be out of the question...wouldn't it?"
"I guess it would."Theresa craked a small but apparent smile.
"so, seriously why aren't you enjoying the holliest day as Valintine's day?"
"ah, nowhere to go...all my brother's are married,so going to visit them would be insane...and then my best friends' probably spending to day with their families...so I guess I'm the loner."she smiled tentively, a little hurt by her own words."so, um...why aren't you back in Boston with your girlfriend...wife or..."she trailed.
"well, I broke up with her...from what I know I'm not married, yet.So I guess...I'm a loner too."he finished with a smile catching on to Theresa's un-happiness."hey, why don't we make a club..."
"the loner's club."
"yeah, and we'll be the only members."
"I like that idea."she smiled."so why don't we christen, this....'club.' with some coffee."
"your treat?"
"I'm miss independant aren't I."she laughed out in response, as they left arm and arm.
Charity had just left the bathroom were she found two other roses with two other notes, atached to them.'He's too much.' she laughed to herself as she read, waddling herself down the hall and making sure to listen to him when he'd said: ^*^ You better be careful going down those stairs, Charity, I swear to God.^*^ abruptly, ater one of his romantic endearments, and so she did as she went down the steps making her way to the living room and oozing herself down into the couch.She had to admit, being alone in the house wasn't nice!...no, it was more creepy and lonesome, she had no one to talk to...except for the baby. She was doing it briefly from time to time during the months why, not have a full fletched conversation.
"hey sweetie!...it's mommy,"she began awkwardly, not knowing exactlly what to say to her child but she shrugged it off and figured she think of something in the hallmark region as she went along.As she continued placing her hand on her stomach."I--I can't wait to see you...you know, your daddy could be a little crazy sometimes..."she giggled, getting more into the conversation." but he always has, the best intrests at heart, and then...there's your uncle Jhon, Marcus and Jhosh, you'll have alot of fun with them, and I'm sure their going to spoil you rotten...well not just them, everyone basiclly.I'm sorry,baby."she sighed with defeat."I'm new at this, and I really don't know what to say...but there's one thing I promise you is for certain, your dady and I will love you no matter what...snd I mean no matter what even if it's---"as she went on she felt a tiny tug in her stomach, it was the baby! the baby just made its first kick! She almost felt like crying the feeling was so good, but instead she regained herself and continued to talk."I guess, I was going overboard on my explenation huh? Alright point taken, let's talk about something else...ooh! even better let's read somethig"Charity spoke full of excitement, as the doorbell rang."who could that be?"
Jessica started sharply, at her husband to be...did he not understand that this WASN'T his wedding, this was all her.She's the one who's spent all of her life, dreaming about the picture perfect wedding;Everyone marveling over how beautiful she looked...the works, and the love of her life, wouldn't get in the way of that.
"Tabitha and Edna, have seen me in diapers---"
"they've seen me too, doesn't mean I wan't them at my wedding."
Jessica darted a look towards him.
"look, have you tooken a look at this list lately...there are aover four hundred people here."
"really?"Jessica began coyly.
"someone has to go Jess---I mean your father's not even on this list yet."
"I don't intend to."she pursed her lips.
"you know this little fued between the two of you, is going to have to end...I mean God your like the 'Miguel and Charity' of the year."
"hey, hey,hey!!! you said a fued not a war."they both laughed at the fact."okay, let's go half and half...tomorow I'll go talk to my dad if you could look the other way with the invite list."she finished sweetly.
"alright! but if Tabitha and Edna pinch me just once..."
"okay."
"you Charity Lopez-Fidzgerald?"
"yeah, who wants to know?"
"guys, this is her" the delivery man called out."if you wouldn't mind sweetheart." he said while, motioning for her to move to the side, as they waited.
"so, umm..."
"Bill."
"yeah, Bill what exactly are we waiting for."
"oh! just you wait."They waited as the first guy came in with the boquet dripping with roses, followed by the next, and the next, and the next...you get the picture."who ever sent you all these must have it real bad for you!" Bill chuckled.
"yeah,he does."Charity smiled.
"Julian what on earth are you doing in there?"Eve giggled, as she sat on her bed.
"patience my dear...patience."
"well could you at least give me a hint, I mean you've been in there for quite awhile"she paused,before starting up again."oh honey, were not going to play one of those God awful kinky games we'd always catch you and Rebecca playing are we?"
She was answered by Julian pressing down the play button, and slidding his slick self out wearing a silk green robe.
"honey you..."Julian began with his non-exhisting microphone."are my shinning star, don't you go away...oh baby, I wanna be right here where you are until my dying day."
"Julian, what on earth---"
"dance with me."
"Julian."
"oh c'mon Evie!"
So many have tried, tried to find...
a love like yours and mine.
Girl don't you realize how you hypnotize...
makes me love you more each time.
Honey, I'll never leave you lonely...
give my love to you only.
To you only....
to you only!
"wow, guess this is another V- day come and gone huh?"Theresa started, as she turned to her new friend.
"yeah, so I guess the loner's club...is over then."
"never, I demand that this club be re-ajerned every single valintine's day."
"oh, so this would go by miss independant's rule...right."Rick laughed.
"damn straight."
Just then Rick stopped, and foccused compleatly on Theresa."to be honest, this was kind of fun."
"it acctually was."Theresa replied with agreement, as they gazed on at eachother."I guess, I should be heading home..."
"yeah me too."
"wanna do this some other time?"
"we'll see."Ricky grinned, as he leaned in and gave Theresa a kiss on the cheek."happy valintine's day,miss independant."he smiled, as he left.
"bye."Theresa waved blankly tooken compleatly by surprise.He kissed her, well not really but he would of...'wow' she thought to herself as she began to walk down the street, almost tripping feeling so weak in the knees.'pull it toghether girl!" she told herself as she found a seat, and let things sink in for a moment.
By the time all the men where finished, the house was full of rose boquets."oh, sweetie."Charity sighed, as she went through all of the roses in the living room."what on earth are we going to do with all of these?" she laughed, as she rubbed her stomach.A small note caught in one of the arrangements, Charity reached for it as she pulled it out of the bouquet and read.
* I'm not a poet,I know you know that all to well...
but, I know you've been wondering...so I guess,
I'll be a man about this and my feeling I better damn
well tell.
If you're wondering, if I still think of you...I'm thinking it, it's true.
If you're wondering, if I still love you like I did then...I do.
I'm thinking, 'How lucky I'm I to be the only man...that could
say his life starts, and ends...with you.*
***Reader's Note***Just so y'all know we just had, a poetry slam back up here at school...so I'm still in poetry mode! lol.
Next---Jessica and Sam try to come to common terms.While, Charity and Miguel get their first baby photo...but not just any photo, the photo that will vouche their thoughts on the baby? will they end up finding out what the baby really is?....you know what you have to do!
