Randy's Pov
I heard Alex playing around in her studio she was sitting at her piano singing an old Whitney Houston song.
If
tomorrow is judgment day (sing mommy)
And I'm standin' on the
front line
And the lord ask me what I did w/ my life
I will say
I spent it with you
If I wake up in world war 3
I see
destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's
okay if you comin' with me
She looked at the keyboard in frustration. I prayed for her to continue the song.
Cause
your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an
eternity to break us
And the chains of amistad couldn't hold
us
If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the
street
And I'm sleepin' in grand central station
It's
okay if you're sleepin' with me
As the years they pass us
by
We stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how
old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe
I went over to her and kissed the back of her neck she jumped a little but then relaxed. I took a seat next to her on the piano bench. She looked at me and then back at the keyboard.
"Please continue" I all but pleaded
She thought about it for a minute and then continued.
Cause
your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an
eternity to break us
And the chains of amistad couldn't hold
us
If I should die this very day
Don't cry, cause on
earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what people day
I'll
be waiting for you after judgment day
Cause your love is my
love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to
break us
And the chains of amistad couldn't hold us
"You have a beautiful voice but you don't ever use it anymore" I said
She sighed knowing I was right.
"I haven't had time being a mother to 8 children and a soon to be grandmother doesn't leave much time for anything else" she said
"Do you regret this life?" I asked afraid of the answer
She took my face in her hands.
"I have never once regretted us or our children I love you and them so much always remember that" she said
"It doesn't seem that long ago we were the carefree kids" he said
"I know" she said in a voice barely above a whisper
"Sometimes I wish I was here more" I said
"You did what you had to do and never regret that because we wouldn't want you to do anything less than what you love"
"I guess" I said
"Why is it so unnaturally quiet?" she asked
"I have sent the children away so you and I can have some alone time" I replied
"Sometimes I think you can read my mind" she said with a smile
I had already set everything up a candle lit dinner in our back yard, maybe some dancing, this night was going to be perfect.
The look of shock on her face when she had seen all that I had done was priceless. After dinner we just sat there enjoying the silence. I got up from my chair and went over to hers.
"May I have this dance?" I asked holding out my hand.
"There is no music" she said
"I grabbed the remote to the radio I had sitting on the porch. Lonestar's Amazed started to play. She smiled and took my hand. We were dancing she had her head resting on my chest.
"Rans have i ever told you about the first time I knew I was really in love with you?" she asked
"No I don't think you have" I said
"It was when we were 9 and I had to get my tonsils out and you showed up at the hospital with a huge plastic bag filled with stuffed animals and my favorite peach roses" she said.
I smiled at her because I remembered that day very well.
A poem came to me at just that moment.
Love is patient and kind, it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take offense, nor is it resentful. Love takes no pleasure in others' sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end. There are three things that last, faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love.
Ok the end of another chapter I think I'm going to be ending this story soon unless I get enough reviews to inspired me to write more but if not there will be like 3 or 4 new chapters. Thanks for reading
