Sarah was surprised to see Phil’s scooter parked in front of her parents’ house. “What are you doing here at my parents’ house? Do you know I’m coming today?” Intensely, she thought to herself, but she couldn’t deny the fact that she felt so happy.
Although she felt nervous and excited, she managed to carefully park her red Matador Mica-2-Door-Lexus convertible behind Phil’s Honda Silver Wings-Scooter, which he told her several weeks ago he loaned her from his bank and paid for. at about $175.00 a month.
I couldn’t wait to see it. She hurried out of her car and took out her house key and went inside.
She opened the front door of the house holding her breath and maintaining a normal composition. She saw him sitting on her sofa. She smiled at him. Phil, who looked like Brad Pitt except he had light gray eyes, a tan complexion, and dark hair, was dressed in his faded blue jeans and black leather boots. She was glad to see him in the red Lacoste t-shirt that she had bought him for his first Valentine’s Day. His head turned in her direction as she opened the door as if he really was prepared for his arrival.
Phil immediately got up and walked towards her feeling so happy to see her. Her face really lifted. He saw Sarah in her favorite fashion signature dress, as usual. She wore 2-inch nude Gucci sandals with glass soles and a simple sleeveless Chanel A-line minidress in emerald green silk fabric to match her green eyes. Sarah’s face flushed as Phil gently kissed her right cheek and hugged her. They hugged for like 60 seconds, feeling so comfortable, like they were both home at last.
But Sarah broke the silence, “How are you ‘beille?” as she pulled back from his embrace and took his hands instead. Phil was speechless as she smiled up at him and looked deep into his green eyes that now shone like jade. He stared at her now glowing face.
In tenths of a second they kissed…
Phil and Sarah loved each other. They were both in love with each other. But Phil felt that he couldn’t give Sarah any luxury that he would have needed for her life. He was sure that she deserved better. He believed that love would not be enough to be happy, because he thought that without money, love would always fail. He was afraid Sarah would leave him if he couldn’t live up to what he thought Sarah would have expected of him.
Phil was just a writing apprentice at a local Chicago newspaper. His income was barely enough for him. He wasn’t strong enough to fight for his love because of his situation. So instead, he asked Sarah to leave him and find another man whom he thought Sarah would love and fit in with, if not more, but at least equal to Sarah’s status in her life. .
Sarah, a Ph.D. The title holder understood Phil. She thought that he wasn’t just ready to make a commitment to her or maybe he wasn’t really interested in her. If so, she thought it would be better to let him go. But whatever the reason behind it, she knew he was the man for her.
They both knew they loved each other, but decided to end it.
They kissed sweetly with the enormous love they felt for each other. They both felt that if it was just a dream, then they wouldn’t want to wake up anymore. Neither of them wanted, wanted to end their kisses.
But it was only an illusion. Without a doubt, they stood hand in hand, facing each other and motionless in the stillness of the day air. They both felt and could tell each other’s thoughts by heart. “Oh, he needed me back,” Sarah mused and hugged him back.
She hugged him quickly this time, but tightly. A tear fell on Sarah’s cheek. She felt her love. She missed him a lot. She never felt that way with any man she was in a relationship with, not even Daniel. She knew it all the time, even from the moment they both decided to separate.
She then walked away and said with sparkling eyes and bushy tail, “Wow! Look at you, still my beau gosse! You look so cool! I miss you!” But before Phil could say a word, he pretended to be looking for his mom and dad.
“Mom, Dad, I’m home!” With her left hand, she grabbed Phil’s right hand and softly whispered, “Come with me.” Phil walked with her down the kitchen hallway. He was speechless. She imagined and wanted to feel the warmth of her lips on his, as she hugged him tight and held her soft body against him. He loved her dearly, but he was able to tell her why she was there in her parents’ house.
“There you two”, so you talked? Her mom asked them both and Sarah let go of Phil’s hand and gave her mom and dad her hugs and kisses. “Yeah, a little bit, but Phil hasn’t talked much yet.” She smiled at Phil.
“Okay, come on guys, let’s start our food, I’m hungry,” their father happily ordered them to start digging. “Bon appetit,” Phil smiled and joined them.
Phil and Sarah decided to have their coffee on the terrace. Sarah led Phil up to the upper deck. His coffee was already ready on the table when they arrived. “Hmmm, I love the smell of fresh coffee,” Sarah told Phil as she gazed excitedly down from the deck, where she saw her Lexus and Phil’s scooter safely parked outside.
Phil, who was behind her, gently held her waist with both hands. He pulled her body closer to her back and wrapped her hands now around her waist so that Sarah could have rested the back of her head on her chest. They enjoyed the moment for a while and then, “‘beille, tell me, what brought you here?” Phil released her and sat down at the coffee table. ‘Come here love. Let’s drink our coffee now, while it’s still hot.’
“I know you always spend Saturdays with your parents. So I thought this is the best time to talk to you. I know we chat online every week, but I feel like I have to see you. It’s different having us together.” in flesh and blood,” Phil said as he poured his and hers cup with a hot coffee. After drinking their coffee, they both loved to eat chocolate afterwards. So they were both joking and laughing when they realized they finished all the chocolate chips on the plate. They were both funny and loved to talk about anything they felt like. And then Phil gently took her hands across the table and broke the news to her.
“I found a girl,” he tried to say the words in a way that didn’t sound bad to her. But he knew he would hurt her. Sarah just stared at him and smiled, “Well, I’m glad… when did this happen? How did you meet her? Is this a serious relationship?” She did her best to be okay with the news. She thought, “Well, I can’t blame him, he needed a girl with him, but would this be the real reason he broke up with me? I have to ask him.
“Do you love her? Did you meet her before you suggested our breakup?” She told him this in a cold way. “No, it’s not what you think, and I just thought you better know. But I told her I’ll be around you, and she doesn’t have a choice about it. I’ll stay the same. We still will.” keep in contact. There’s no need to change,” Phil assured him.
Sarah looked at his face full of curiosity and would like to ask, “When we broke up, you told me that you weren’t the man for me… so do you think and feel that you are the man for this girl?” ?”, but before he could blurt it out, Phil said this to him with both hands still holding hers on the table: “I know this is difficult for both of us, not only you are suffering, I am also hurt”.
Sarah couldn’t deny that she was really hurt. She tried not to cry. She wouldn’t want him to see her cry. But her green eyes that shone like jade just now, turned pale and tense, “I hope we made the right decision to let go. I care about us a lot. Our past is not the same as our future. We are the source of all our emotions. We are the ones who create them. We can even feel the way we choose at any time. And yes, I understand that our situation hurt both of us, but we don’t need any special reason to feel it. We can just decide to feel good right now , just because we’re alive, just because we have each other, just because we want to… And I want you to know that when that time comes, we’ll both be ready and still available, I trust we’ll know what to do. We love each other.” .
Sarah is not just a psychiatrist but a very optimistic woman. She was quickly shaking off her sadness and doing her best to be nice. Phil admires her for being this calm and understanding person that she is, so when she took Phil’s hands and said, “‘beille, it’s our belief that makes our lives good or bad, ungrateful or happy, rich or poor ….so no matter what happens in our life now, we have to be able to believe that “This too shall pass”, and if we keep persisting, we will find a way”, with these words, I would easily say to feel the comfort and the care he needed.
“I know love, I know, and it’s my wish… it’s just that I think, I need more time to grow and have more strength to come together and discover more of what I really wanted in my life…” Phil said stood up. He came to his lips. He kissed her affectionately. “I have to go now honey, I’ll always be with you, don’t worry.”
As soon as Phil started to walk down, Sarah stood up and said, “Beille, wait!” her as she grabbed Phil to look at her. Phil didn’t think twice, but immediately he hugged her and gently cupped Sarah’s face with both hands and wanted to kiss her. But Sarah moved her lips to her right ear and whispered sweetly, “Go then, my love, and grow up fast…I’m here to support you…I trust you’ll start gathering your strength now.” and be the kind of man you want me to have… I have faith in you. I’m proud that you have these thoughts and feelings for me.”
Then, she looked into his face and smiled, “Okay, ‘beille, go and do whatever it takes to make it. But don’t ever ask me to leave you again, because I won’t… I believe in our love.” and I choose us…”
Phil didn’t say a word, but instead hugged her closer to him and kissed her passionately. This time, she kissed him back… A kiss they both really needed. He didn’t like leaving her, but he wanted to let her feel her love for her.
His kisses were now strong and steamy. Their love and passion for each other was so powerful that now they were both too weak to stop it. Phil moved to bring Sarah’s back against the wall near the hallway on the other side of the terrace. They embraced erotically together. They were both now in tune with their love for each other. They joined their bodies in passion and danced together in perfect rhythm.
But those were only in his thoughts that would have happened at that time, if they had let him. Instead, his spirit rises.
She waved at him from the terrace as he got ready on his scooter. Her gaze encompassed the scene as they both shared their flying kisses. They were both happy. Speechless. They both felt and knew for themselves that their mutual love was the ONE.
Sarah watched him walk away until he was out of sight. She stood there on the terrace.
He held back and thought that he was trying to speak to his soul: “Now I know what I really wanted in my life.” She took a deep breath and exhaled. She looked at the sky and smiled…
