Chapter 9

- -9 Months Later- -

I had graduated college Majoring in Emergency Room Trauma and Minoring in Massage Therapy.

I'm on a plane right now headed for home.

I was at a massage therapy convention that traveled all around the world...it was so fantastic...In the last 6 months, I'd traveled the world by my self...well Micah's girlfriend Nonie was with me.

We'd had so much fun gallivanting around the world...we'd been gone for 6 months, before that Paul and I had done some serious dating...I never knew being in love felt this great.

We'd had hours upon hours of cell phone conversations of nothing but getting to know each other...

Before I left on the trip Paul had taken me over to meet his family...his family was super important to him. They supported him in his decision to become a professional wrestler.

I hate planes.

Nonie said, "So...Did you talk to Paul before you left?"

I said, "Yea...I can't wait to see him...I missed him so much...It's the only thing that sucked about this whole trip was leaving him."

Nonie laughed and said, "I know what you mean...I miss Micah something terrible...I wish I didn't but that's what happens when you fall in love."

I said, "You know out of all my relationships...this is definitely the first time I fell totally helplessly in love with the man I was dating...I mean...I could feel something on that contest winner date...but nothing was as wonderful as the second, third or fourth dates we had before Paul made it official as me being his girlfriend."

Nonie said, "I remember that...you came home from that fourth date in a daze...with a big cheesy smile on your face...All I did was mentions Paul's name and you started rattling off every thing he'd said to you. You said you were head over heels in love with the man...and that if you never dated another living soul again in your life...it would be because you was married to Paul and he was your soul mate."

I said, "Yea...me the one who doesn't believe in there being the one special person out there for someone."

Nonie said, "What about now...Do you believe now?"

I said, "How the hell could I not? I mean I found my perfect some body...he's my best friend, boyfriend, lover...he's every thing I could ever want or need in a man...and he's mine all mine...Not to mention the fact that I'm so in love with him...and he is just as in love with me."

Nonie said, "Lord...you make me sick." We looked at each other and started laughing.
