Blinking my eyes, I give him a tight smile. He looked straight into my eyes like he was challenging me. Oh, game on! I’m not the same Mia you met back then. If he wants to play, I’ll play. Raising one eyebrow I looked at his hand, telling him with my eyes, you can let go now. He smirked back at me. Slowly releasing his hold. I turned around with a quick twirl. My ponytail hit him straight in the face. Walking away with spring in my step.

If you want to wait. I will let you wait. Slowly I went and picked up my bags, walking up the stairs to my room. Having a long warm shower, I dressed in blue jeans and a black and pink floral shirt.

Lying down on my bed, thinking to myself. I shouldn’t have to feel bad for letting him wait right? I didn’t invite him. Well, he should be gone when I wake up, right? I slowly closed my eyes drifting to sleep.

Waking up, the room has started to get dark. Stretching out my arms yawning, and throwing the covers off I dragged my body out of bed looking through

    The next morning, Nathan gave me his phone to call Carolyne.“Hello, Nathan.” Carolyne’s voice came through the phone.“…. Nathan, you there?”With a soft voice, I answered. “Hi, Carolyne it’s me, …. Mia.”“Mia? O MY WORD MIA!!” I could hear her start crying.“I…I…I thought you were dead! Where are you? I want to come to you right now?”“I’m in Myrtle Beach.”“Really!!! Give me your address, I will come to you now.”Once I gave her my address, she immediately dropped the call.Walking to the porch, I took a seat on the swing chair waiting for Carolyne, having mixed emotions. I am happy to see her again but, I’m feeling guilty for not reaching out to her. I wanted to leave my old life behind so much that I also left behind the people who once were there for me, giving me love and support.Looking up to the clear blue sky, white clouds moving at a slow pace making all different kinds of shapes.“Can I join you?”“Yes…” I scooted over making space for Nathan.He looked up “What are we loo

    “Well, now what?”“Well now, I need to stay here until I do. I already said I will, I never go back on my word… Amore.”“Wwwwhat? Then we will go this afternoon…”“Nope, can’t do. Dr. Martin is busy today. Joe said we can maybe go tomorrow.”“Maybe??”Carolyne started to laugh behind me. I turned to her confused. “Why are you laughing?”“Hahaha, you two.” She pointed at Nathan and then at me. Trying to control her laughter. She continued “I have never seen Nathan interact in such a way with anyone…” Giving us a silly look.“What’s going on with your face?” I pointed to her face. “Why are you looking at us funny?”“Whatever, I don’t even want to know.” Throwing my hands up in the air. Looking at Nathan. “I will deal with you later.”“Oh, I can’t wait.” He said with a wide grin.Rubbing my forehead, I started walking to Joe’s study. Looking behind I see Carolyne saying something to Nathan and then running to catch up to me.The study room door was closed. Giving two knocks, Joe shouted.

    He didn’t even bother to look up at her, giving her a cold attitude, she ignored me and Carolyne, continuing with her all-out flirting, waiting for Nathan to reply, she twirled her pony with her finger, her eyes shining with anticipation.Nathan turned to me. “My Amore what do you want to eat?”Hmmm, I know what he’s doing… I leaned against him looking with him at his menu. “I don’t know darling, you order for me.” Giving him a soft smile.The corner of his mouth lifts into a smile. Still ignoring the waitress, he gives her our order, his eyes not leaving the menu, when done, he looked at Carolyne. She stared at us with her mouth open.“Carolyne, what do you want to eat?” He waved his hand in front of her.She snapped out of it and gives the waitress her order. The waitress did not look happy at all to be ignored by Nathan. She quickly writes our order down, and took one last look at Nathan, she quickly turned on her heels and stomped away.“Okay, what was that?” Carolyne asked“What w

    We walked up to the porch.“So, you plan on staying here forever?” I asked him.“Yip, if that keeps me near you.”Every time… every time he gets me speechless. What do I say back to that? I stood there with my mouth open gapping like a fish…“What’s wrong Amore, the cat caught your tongue?”“You…!” I pointed him on the chest with my finger.“Me?” He said, tilting his head while chuckling.“You are always so smart with that mouth of yours! I will see you tomorrow, good night.” I turned and headed inside.“Meet me here tomorrow morning at five, good night love…” He shouted from behind.“Shaking my head, I kept walking ignoring him.”Oh, I hate mornings, I hit my alarm clock off the bedside table that was screaming at me to wake up. Rolling out of bed I walked like a zombie to my closet. Heading to the bathroom to freshen up, I got dressed in my purple sports bra, black sports tights, and running shoes, putting my hair up in a high ponytail, I grab my bag with fresh clothes in and I skipp

    He pressed his finger on my bottom lip… moving his lips towards mine…I stopped breathing, holding my breath in, my heart beating at 1000 seconds per minute, closing my eyes I waited for THE kiss… feeling his breath moving towards my ears.He whispered… “To be continued.”He turned around greeting some other guy looking to be a few years older than him.‘Wait… what?’It felt like he poured a bucket of cold water over my head.“Hey, James.”“Nathan you are late!”I’m standing at the back of Nathan still recovering, or more like hiding from shame.James peeked around Nathan looking curiously at me. “Who is this beautiful lady?”Nathan took me by the hand and tucked me into his side… “This is Amore, Amore this is my coach, James.”James has short black hair roughly styled, brown eyes, also very muscular built but not as much as Nathan. He is quite good looking but standing next to Nathan he looks ordinary.“It’s good to finally meet a woman …” He moved toward me, whispering behind his han

    “Okay… First, always trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t safe.Second, practice target denial, when you have the opportunity to escape from a situation before it turns bad, take it.Third, present yourself with confidence even though you are scared. Be aware of the message your body sends to those around you. Attackers mostly search for women who appear frightened, confused, or distracted.Forth, set strong verbal boundaries, this skill is effective as a self-defense tool. When an attacker engages with you in a conversation, he’s actually “interviewing” you to see if you’ll make a good victim. Most attackers will use their words to freeze you into fear, reducing the chance for you to try and defend yourself.Five, keep a non-confrontation posture. It’s a secret weapon in the element of surprise. Most attackers have the confidence that you will not defend yourself, you should take advantage of this misconception.Six, keep yourself at a safe distance

    Feeling my phone vibrating in my backpack I took a quick look at the caller id before picking it up.“Hello, Carolyne.”“Hello Mia, where are you?”I looked over to Nathan, smiling to myself…“Mia are you still there?”“O sorry yes, got a bit distracted”“By what? Where are you?“We are still at the gym. Nathan is almost done with his training….”“O let me guess your busy eye candying him.”“Of course, I am.”“You two are quite something…”“Uhuh… aren’t you busy with your shoot today.”“Yeah… we’re having a break right now… just wanted to know how things are over there… but looks like you’re enjoying yourself?“Oh yes, I am.” I nodded my head dramatically.“Good… good I will see you tonight?”“Why? What’s happening tonight.”“Oh Mia, we have four years to catch up on… oooo I know let’s go play paintball.”“Sounds good, see you tonight.

    We took Nathan’s car to Dr. Martin’s house… I’m quite nervous and keep fidgeting with my fingers on my lap.“Why are you nervous…?”“I’m not.” I looked out of the window.“Every time you’re nervous you start fidgeting with your fingers.” He pointed with his eyes towards my hands, he then looked forward focusing his attention on the road.“Okay… fine… I do not know why I am feeling like this. I have this weird feeling inside of me that something is going to happen, and I do not know what. I’m not nervous about meeting him, it’s… it’s just this feeling inside of me.” I looked down at my hands.“I… I just can’t explain it.”“Do not worry Amore, I will be with you no matter what.” He still concentrated on the road ahead.I looked confused over at him. “What do you mean Nathan? Why… why would you say something like that to someone you only met two days ago?”“The first time I saw you at the fight Amore, I know it was you…”What does he mean? Now I am even more confused… have we met before?

It will not be easy to stop her from going, so I am taking her there.”“WHAT??

    ‘I found my soulmate, I found my true love, I found my one and forever, and now I may lose her forever.’ Nathan thought back to a quote he once read as he sat next to Amore's bed, holding onto her hand while the constant heart monitor echoed in the background.A week has passed. After the surgery, they transferred Amore back home. According to the doctor in Rio, the surgery was a success. Amore was shot in the chest on her right side, one of her lungs collapsed and they had to give her a blood transfusion. Likely Dr. Martin was there to donate his blood to her. According to Dr. Martin and the other doctors, she should have already woken up, but she was still in a semi-coma. “Son, please. You need to eat something and get some sleep. When is the last time you bathed? Look at your clothes… I will sit with her until you get back. I promise I will not leave her side. Just, please go take a bath and get some sleep, you look terrible.” Nathan's mom said as she stood by the hospital door lo

Unfortunately, we are given the privilege to get the chance to make choices… yeah and look how great that turned out for us…Amore looked at Carter horrified. “You must be joking?”“I never joke. Come on Amore, I don't have all day!” Carter looked at her annoyed.“Carter are you sick? Your talking about taking someone's life?" Amore looked nervously back and forth between Caity and Clara. How could she possibly choose? The thought made Amore sick to her stomach.Carter looked down at his watch tapping his finger on it… “ I don't get you, Amore… This thing here.” Garry came forward handing Carter his gun, Carter reached out and took it, raising it sideways at Clara. Clara tightly closed her eyes… expecting the bullet to hit her at any second. “She…sold you out… but you still can't kill her. Micheal, why is my hand so itchy today?" Carter looked at Mich

We existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave this world.”“Will this be my moment? Will this be my time to leave this world? Will this be how my story ends? Will this be the last time I will hear Nathan’s voice?” Amore thought to herself as she looked down at the phone and ended the call with Nathan. She slided the phone up her sleeves hoping Nathan would track the phone in time. Amore turned around watching everything slowly unfold in front of her. The two officers were standing at the door.
