Chapter 2: Searching For Love
I am shaking as I knock on the front door, my heart is pounding so fast it hurts. Nobody answers and I feel dispair creeping in until a thought pops into my head. 'They could be round the back.'
"David." Seeing Ignacio I gain hope that they are home.
"Hi, no-one answered the front door, I thought they might be back here?"
"Oh, um, I'm waiting. Maxine should be home in a few minutes." Waiting a bit longer won't matter, what I have to say is important.
"Ok," I look at the table in front of him and see some brochures, "going to Spain?"
"Hmm, oh, uh, I don't know. Just uh door number one. We're going to go somewhere in the fall, uh but I'm going to let Maxine decide." I sighed and looked down at my feet. Wishing it could be Amy and I, who was planning a trip. "What, you think it's a bad idea to let her decide?"
"Um, no, no.... just uh jealousy." I stop daydreaming
"Greetings.... men folk in the garden. Where are your cigars and brandy?"
"I told you we forgot something...." I tried to break the tension in the air. "I'm looking for Amy, do you know when she's going to be back?"
"Actually she said she had a dinner engagement this evening and was going to be late...." It feels like my heart dropped to my feet. What I need to say, has to wait, "Would you like me to tell her that you stopped by?"
"Yeah, yes thank you." I walk back around the house, leaving them alone to some privacy. But I couldn't wait any longer, I needed to find her and tell her what why I ran. She deserves it as much as I need to say it. I turn back and feel guilty as I interupt them;
"I'm sorry, did Amy say where the meeting was?" Maxine just looked at me. "It's important!"
"In Waterbury, at the something something Stone Inn." She smiles at me, before turning back to Ignacio.
"Thank you." I quickly walk away.
