July 20: Rough Hands

He had been working all his life. Everything had changed since he had met her and then graduating from high school. He worked from sunup to sundown. He wish he had time for a life outside of this particular work. He missed her but what could he do. She had wanted the world and to see it all. He couldn't just drop everything he had been working on to go with her. That was the last time he had seen her. It hurt that the love they had shared wasn't enough for her. It didn't matter that even though she wasn't there he still loved her. If she wanted to come back she knew where he would be.

"It's been awhile, huh, Arnie."
"Yeah it has, what like two years?" Snort
"Yeah, ummm, I'm..."

She was flustered and still looked beautiful. I knew she couldn't express what she really wanted to say. So, I sat my tools down and went over to her. I took my rough overworked hands, placed them on either side of her cheek, and pulled her into a passionate kiss. After a few minutes we broke apart for air and just looked into each others eyes before she started to giggle.

"Wow, I'm guessing you missed me."
"yeah, I did miss you alot, Helga."


Hahaha, surprise ending dum dum dummmmm. Have fun on an adventure.
