Chapter 4
The next morning Sabrina woke up feeling a little better than yesterday (emotionally). She decided to take her coffee out on the beach & just take in the morning air. It was a beautiful morning watching the sun hover over the water. It wasn't to hot or cold. She was remembering last night & meeting Richard. He gave a good 1st impression however there was something she couldn't put her finger on it that she wasn't at ease with. She was happy that last night didn't go that far.
When she walked back into the house Juan was home & playing something on the keyboard & humming like he was trying to find the words lyrics to go w/ it. She loved that Juan was a musician. She remembers their childhood when they sang together. When Juan realized that Sabrina was watching & listening he grabbed 2 mics & led her into a song they used to sing together(lean on me). They spent the rest of the morning just singing songs.
As their voices rang through the house Sabrina heard the doorbell ringing. She went to the door & it was a delivery man w/ 2 dozen red roses.
Sabrina Santiago? Yes!
These are for you.
Beaming Sabrina sat the roses on the table.
Wow it looks like you got a secret admirer. Juan stated.
I think I do Sabrina responded while blushing. She took the card & it read..
Thank you for a wonderful night, I hope we can do it again soon. Then he gave his #. Richard
Who are they from Juan asked? Richard. Richard the guy from the bar last night? Yes!
Sabrina how did he know where I lived & your address? Juan asked defensively.
I told him we were cousins & I was staying w/ you. And I'm sure every florist on town has your address on their system.
Sabrina, what about Patrick? He still loves you Juan stated.
Oh, that's BULLSHIT! Patrick stopped loving me when robin turned up alive. It was great having me around to help w/ Emma! I was only fooling myself thinking it was love. I was living in a fairytale thinking I was gonna get my happily ever after. My life w/ Patrick & Emma is not gonna happen. Every time I think I'm the happy & things look good something happens & I end up w/ my heartbroken. Patrick has the family he wants e/ robin & Emma & I'm not in PC anymore. And me not being there is the best thing for ME. I want Patrick to be happy I just don't want to watch it from the sidelines. Sabrina was saying all this w/ tears streaming down her cheeks. And I know Patrick doesn't love me enough b/c as soon as robin appeared he threw me away like garbage & just hopped back into his old life w/ robin like I didn't exsist.
When I discovered I was pregnant I was so happy again. I was finally gonna have a family w/ me my child. I was gonna be a mom! But once again God decided I haven't had enough heartbreak & Gabriel died.
I lost my mom, abondand by my dad, haven't found someone who loves me as much as I love him.
I'm tired of being a victim, bring a dart board for every needle of pain. I want to be happy I deserve to be happy & of Richard wants to be the man to give me that then so be it! Sabrina yelled & stomping off w/ the card intending to call Richard & set up a date.
