Chapter 3
"What Sweet?" He responded quickly once he realized his mind was elsewhere.
"Well you know how I applied to a job at Col's Dance Studio in New York? I got it, well not officially but I have an interview." Kim said as she danced around the living room with a wide smile on her face. It was a dream come true.
"Oh My God Kim! This is so great, your dream come true, I'm so happy for you. I can't believe it." Jt said as he picked up Kim and hugged her. "When do you start?"
"I'm flying in to New York next week for an interview with the manager. They say if I can pull off a good interview, I've got the job!" Kim answered as she kissed Jt.
Jt licked the top lip of Kim and Kim responded parting her lips for Jt to enter. Kim ran her hands through Jt's hair and it made him feel good. Kim backed away first for a needed breath.
Jt thought that New York would be a great place to propose to her. He just needed a week off of work.
"This is so great! I'm coming with you. I'll be back I have to speak with Paul." Jt said as he rushed out the door.
"Paul! I need to talk to you." Jt said as he rushed into Paul's office.
"Jt, calm down. I'm not going anywhere. Now what do you need to talk about?" Paul asked.
"Well, I was hoping that I could get next week off of work. I know it's short notice but it's important."
"Jt, you've worked for me for a while and you know that you can't just decide a week before that you're taking next week off. I need you here helping some cases. Why do you have to go next week anyways?" Paul questioned Jt.
"I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important you know that. Here's the story, Kim, my girlfriend, is going to New York for a job interview and well I've been thinking about asking her to marry me. I thought New York would be perfect." Jt tried to reason with Paul.
"OK, fine I'll give your work to George for the time being. Good Luck Jt." Paul finally said as he came to a decision.
"Thanks Paul, I really appreciate your understanding." Jt said as he headed for the door.
"Jt wait!"
"Yea Paul?"
"I'm glad to see you've moved on from Colleen. I'm so glad your happy again. I can see it in your eyes. Congratulations."
" I don't know what happened, Paul. One day I woke up and realized that I would never get Colleen back and that I would lose something really great if I didn't let go. I realized I needed to grow up and forget about her." Jt responded trying to feel happy. Although he was truly happy with Kim, the memories of Colleen were still hurting.
"Have fun on your trip!"
Colleen arrived at her apartment around 10:00pm on Thursday. She had just finsihed teaching her last class at Col's Dance Studio. She was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. She remembered how she was getting help at her studio. A women named KIm had great potential to be successful. Her interview was on Saturday and she felt confident that Kim would be teaching as well, helping her out.
Next Saturday
At New York International Airport
"OK, where is Col's Dance Studio?" Jt asked as he carried his luggage through the airport.
"Actually Col said that we could meet at her apartment today so that we wouldn't interrupt her dance classes."
"Sure, well then where am I going to stay?" Jt asked still holding the luggage.
"Col said that you could come because her boyfriend Ben would be there and you two could talk." Kim responded still feeling a little nervous.
"Sure I'll get a cab."
AT the apartment
"Ben, when they get here ask if they want anything to drink and then take Kim's boyfriend into living room and watch TV and chat ok?" Colleen was giving Ben instructions while cleaning the apartment.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"Ben! Come here and greet the guests with me."
Colleen opened the door only to see what looked like Kim and Jt.
She thought to herself 'Oh My God Jt, how come he is here. I can't believe it I haven't seen him in years'
"Hi, I'm Kim. You must be Col." Kim said as she reached out her hand. Next she was introduced to Ben. "This is my boyfriend Jt" Jt stuck out his hand and touched Colleen's.
"Yes, Jt and I have met before. We went to high school together." Colleen said to Kim.
"Oh, that's cool." Kim said as she looked back and forth between Col and Jt.
Colleen and Jt felt no feelings towards each other anymore. They were friends and realized they could be nothing more. Colleen and Jt planned on catching up and talking hopefully not remembering the past.
As Colleen took her eyes away from Jt she said "OK Kim lets go into the kitchen and talk."
"So Jt, you already know Colleen. Tell me what she was like in High School? She doesn't like talking about the past."
"Oh really? Well Colleen was great, smart and she loved to dance."
"I already know that, tell me about her friends and boyfriends."
"Colleen had two really good friends, Lily and Sierra. They were cool'. She had a few boyfriends some more serious than others." Jt said rethinking their past together, remembering how they were together.
"Yea Colleen tells me how sexually experienced she is. So I figured she had a few boyfriends."
" I didn't know this, Obviously she lost her virginity after high school. So this is news to me." Jt thought as he remembered the day Colleen wanted to lose her virginity to him. He knew he couldn't because she wasn't ready.
"Actually she says she lost it in high school. Must have been here in New York since you don't know about it."
"Yea, so what do you Ben?"
"I'm a lawyer. I'm usually very busy, in fact I have a business trip tomorrow morning. What do you do?"
"I'm an investigator and also very busy. My boss gave me the week off. Do you think it would be a problem if I took Colleen out to dinner to catch up since it has been about 10 years now?" Jt asked.
"Sure, no problem I would love to meet up with my high school friends. Well it's getting late and I need to get up early, so just join the girls in the kitchen. Nice meeting you Jt."
"You too Ben."
"What Sweet?" He responded quickly once he realized his mind was elsewhere.
"Well you know how I applied to a job at Col's Dance Studio in New York? I got it, well not officially but I have an interview." Kim said as she danced around the living room with a wide smile on her face. It was a dream come true.
