Chapter 2

Last night, he dreamed of making love to her. Whispering to her, words of undying, endless love. It was just a dream, though. That's all it always was. And then in the morning he awoke to an empty bed. Slipping out of bed, his feet glided on the cold, hard wood floors. It had been three days since he talked to Jennifer. She's pissed at me, he thought. After going to the bathroom he went to the kitchen to make himself something to eat. Luis was in the middle of pouring himself a cup of coffee when the phone began to ring. He looked at the clock next to him. 6:24. Who could be calling me at this hour? He ran to the phone and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey, buddy! Top of the morning to ya" The guy joked.

"Hank, it's almost six thirty. What the hell do you want?" Luis asked his best friend.

"You know that hot chick that you were with many years ok. Hmm….the sexy blonde…what the hell is her name?" Hank asked.
"Sheridan Crane" Luis answered.

"Yup…the one and only buddy! Anyways, she's going to be in Boston tomorrow, signing autographs and crap. I thought that maybe we go." Sheridan was going to be in Boston! Yeah, no doubt he was going!

"Yeah, alright. We can go. Hey you think maybe we could chill later? I wanna talk to you" "Yeah, Luis, meet me at the pool hall at 1. Is that ok"

"Yes. That's fine. See you at 1"

Both men hung up their phones. Luis couldn't help the grin that sat on his handsome face. His Sherry was actually going to be in Boston tomorrow. And he would do anything in his power to talk to her and find out why she never called. To hell with Jennifer, he was going to ask Sheridan to marry him when he saw her.
Luis walked into the pool hall and spotted his best friend sitting at the bar, a draft of beer in his hand. He walked over to Hank and took a seat beside him. "Hey buddy, what's good"

"Nothing at all. Everything is bad! My life is so messed up, Hank"

"What's the matter, Luis?" Hank asked.

"I can't marry Jenn. I'm still in love with Sheridan"

"Are you serious"

"Yes and it scares me. I don't know what I'm going to do. I was hoping that you'd have some advice. I'm totally sure that I want to marry Sheridan, not Jennifer, and spend my life with her. Loving her and raising our children. Hank, I'm telling you man, she's the only one that I'll ever love"

"Wow, I've never heard you talk like this before. You must be in love. Ok, well first of all, when we see Sheridan tomorrow you need to get her alone somehow. Slip her your cell number or something. When you two are alone, tell her how you feel. Tell her that you still love her and want to be with her. But overall just say what's in your heart. If you and Sheridan are truly meant to be, she'll feel the same way"

"Thank you, Hank. You're a great friend. I was thinking, would you wanna go up to Boston tonight?" Luis asked, wanting to get his mind of a certain blonde.

"Sure... why not. How about we go pack our stuff and I'll be at your house by 3. We're taking your truck right?"

"Yes, we're taking my truck. We'll leave at 3." Luis and Hank said their goodbyes and went to their own houses to pack their stuff.
About an hour and a half later Hank arrived at Luis' house and the two were off.
