A/N: Hello again, folks! I'm sorry for the delay… It's been hard catching up on stuff, including this story! So, I hope this chapter is worthwhile (I'm not sure how long it'll be)! I owe this to RayofSunny, because I kept putting this off. Anyway, I guess we should get going! :)
Chapter 21: One Month Later
Marv's PoV:
It's been about a month, since I've seen Kate. Despite how I didn't think I could live without her at first, life has become pretty normal again. Of course, Kate is at the back of my mind. She only really seems to come forward, when I have some quiet time to myself, or when I'm about to fall asleep at night. Harry hasn't been much help, but, then again, I haven't been going to him for help… I know how useless he is with advice.
Today is different, though… Today, I can't seem to stop thinking about Kate. She's almost like a drug… I'm going on withdrawal. I thought I was going to be OK, but something's pulling me to her… I can almost feel her presence, and I think I know where she is. Why is this happening? Why do I seem to have a connection with this woman? Does she feel this way about me, too?
"Harry, I'll be right back!" I holler up, from the bottom of the stairs. I grab the van keys, in the process. "I'm just going out for a drive!"
I wait for a reply, but instead, I hear the sound of footsteps. I finally hear Harry say, from the top of the stairs, "What do you mean, you're going out for a drive? You haven't really gone anywhere in almost a month! Now, you're suddenly wanting to go out? What's going on with you, Marv?"
"Can't a guy just wanna get out of the house for a bit? You know Kate hasn't been bothering me. Have I been depressed, lately?"
"Well, no, but…" Harry can't seem to think of a reply. "You're gonna waste gas, going out on these drives of yours!"
"I'm only gonna be gone for a little while, Harry. You're making it sound like I'm going to China…" I walk away from the bottom of the stairs, toward the main door. I start to leave the house, waiting for Harry to retort, but he doesn't. I just shrug and go about my business…
…
I drive to the coffee shop Kate and I always met up at. I pull into the parking lot, feeling that special tug (ha, That Special Tug is the name of a Two and a Half Men episode) I've been feeling this whole time. It's only been getting stronger on my way here. Kate has to be here… I know she is.
As soon as I park, I sit in the van for a minute and wonder if what I'm doing is really wise. The woman told me to stay away from her. But, why do I feel like I need to be here right now, after not feeling this way for almost a month? I decide to do what I came here to do, and step out of the vehicle. Who knows how this is going to go down?
As soon as I step out of the van, I close the door. Afterwards, my stomach tells me to turn around. The nervousness sets in, as I do so. I become face-to-face with someone I thought I'd never see again…
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks, guys! I'm sorry it's so short, but that's all I have time for tonight. Who do you think Marv's met face-to-face with? :o Do I need to ask this? Am I going to throw a plot twist your way? ;) Who knows what's going to happen? I'm not sure when the next time I'll be able to update will be, but it'll be Kevin's PoV next time! I have something planned for that! ;) Anyway, I'll see you guys next time! Hopefully, you don't have to wait almost two weeks for an update! Ciao! :D
