"Hello?"
"Hi, it's Kirsten… is this Christi?"
While I waited for the other end of the phone to answer, I was wondering if it had been a good idea to call Christi. After searching for hours, I'd finally found the number. And now.. I was really nervous.
"No.. I'll get my mom for you. Just a second."
I waited for the girl to hand the phone to Christi. I was excited to talk to her again, but a little scared at the same time. What if she didn't remember me? I was wondering what I was going to say, when I heard a voice.
"Hello?"
"Christi.. hi.. it's Kirsten... remember me?"
"Kirsten..."
I sighed softly. She didn't remember.
"Kirsten! Oh My God..!"
Two weeks later...
I heard the doorbell ring, and walked to the door to open it. It was two weeks ago since the first phonecall with Christi. She told me about her life. She became a lawyer, just as Sandy had. She didn't end up with Brad after all. She had met someone else though, Danny, and was married to him. She had a daughter, Autumn, who was fifteen. I'd talk to her on the phone. She'd also told me she wasn't suprised Sandy and I ended up together. She told me she would like to see me again. She said she would be in LA for businnes in a couple of weeks, and she would probably have time to come over.
"Kirsten!"
Christi hugged me, and smiled. I smiled back.
"Christi"
"Wow.. it's been so long!"
I let her in, and we walked to the couch together.
When we sat down, we started talking.
"So Kirsten..you look amazing! And you did a good job."
Christi said, while looking around in the house.
"Thanks. You look great too."
I asked if she wanted some tea, and when I came back with two cops and some cookies, she smiled.
"You're still as caring as you used to be, Kirsten."
I smiled, and gave her the tea.
"So Kirsten.. why did you call me? I mean.. I like it.. a lot, but why after all these years?"
"Uhm.. a couple of weeks ago I'd been thinking, about how Sandy and I met. And well.. it all began with you introducing us. And.. I never told you how glad I am you did."
Christi smiled.
"You're very welcome. You know... I missed you. You were my best friend."
"So did I. And you were my best friend too."
There was a silence for a while, and I didn't knew what to say.
"Kirsten... I want to be friends again. If you want. Like I said.. I missed you a lot, and still.. I feel like we've never been apart."
I laughed.
"You're right. You know.. I'd like to be friends again too. You've always been one."
She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
Cause Christi had always been my friend. She really had.
Two days later, Sandy and I sat on the couch, watching a rerun of Friends. Christi had left yesterday, and we had a great time. I showed her a couple of places in Newport, and we went shopping together. I smiled at myself. We were the same as we used to be. Just a little older.
"Honey.. you liked being around Christi the last couple of days?"
I smiled at Sandy.
"Yes.. I did. Very much. I liked talking to her again. It was great. It felt normal.. immediately. Like we've never been apart!"
Sandy smiled because of his wife enthousiasm.
"We decided to do it more often. I mean.. .. she lives far away... but we have the phone"
"Hmm. You know... you can invite her and her husband and daughter for Seth's birthday. It could be fun."
"Yeah.. we can."
I smiled at Sandy. And maybe I smiled a little bit to myself too. I was glad I decided to look for Christi's number, and called her. Not only because it was because of her Sandy and I got together. But also because she was my best friend. She is. And I'm glad she is.
"Kirsten.."
He came on to me with a smile on his face.
"The boys are out... want to do something.. together?"
I smiled, and nodded.
Sandy took my hand and led me to our room.
He put me on the bed, and kissed me. And he kissed me again. And again.
All I could think about was how lucky I was. Having Sandy. And Seth and Ryan. And my friends. I'm a happy woman. I am. And Sandy is one of the main reasons why I am.
He stopped kissing me for a while, and our eyes locked. I saw the twinkle in his eyes, and I smiled. We would have a lot of fun tonight.
Well.. at least untill the boys would be home.
Ander after that thought, I wasn't exactly with my mind on the boys again. I wasn't with my thoughts on them... at all.
