My First Love

2024-10-29 19:42:56My name is Meghan Trevor and I've got a story to share. Don't tell me I messed up after reading this cause I know I did. Some will say I should have waited, but I did wait. Others would say I should have waited longer, but 8 years was long enough.
Here's my story.....
Saturday morning, 7th of April 1990. I married the man of my dreams. I've known him for 4years and everyone could tell we were compatible. We loved each other so much we decided to tie the knot at the beach with our parents and few friends present. I was lucky to have this man. He was tall, calm, intelligent and the true description of handsome. You might be wondering how we met.
We met at a friend's function, it was an all-party and the theme of the event was TRUE BORN AMERICANS. I could remember I was uncertain about attending but my friend Julie who is a journalist with the MUNCH NEWSPAPER insisted I accompany her and so I fell for it. It was love at first sight. I was tired of the whole sermon from dignitaries and it seemed boring cause all they talked about was leadership and how to take the country to the next level, I wasn't cut out for all of that, you could say I was an apathist. My friend Julie was busy making conversation and interviews with top officials and special guests who were in attendance at the event,
I left the hall to have some fresh air when I saw him. The lights reflected on his shiny smooth skin, his strides were majestic and commanding, who could this be? I wondered as he made his way towards me, he's cologne filled the air as he sat opposite me. I couldn't stop staring. "HEY," he waved, catching my gaze, for a second time frozen and everything just seemed right. I felt awkward, I looked down at my shoes avoiding his Captivating gaze and waved him back. I guess you're bored with all the talk in there right? Oh no! I said and laughed.
Oh forgive my manners, I'm Rolly, Rolly Sheriff from San Diego but I was raised in Pennsylvania, what about you? he asked. I'm Meghan Trevor from Chicago and was raised here all my life. I was shy but his voice was soothing and I felt comfortable in no time. We talked and laughed about a few topics when Julie called out to me" Oh there you are, looking everywhere for you" as she walked towards where we were seated. I'm sorry dear, I just needed some fresh air. Oh yeah, I met a friend... Rolly, yeah I know him Julie said. Rolly is a good and loyal citizen of our country. She said with a smile. I was wondering what she meant by that. What does he do anyway? Or is he one of those overly privileged men who got into office and spent the people's money? Well to be honest I've never loved anyone who comes from the Government office, they all looked the same to me. We have to go, Rolly, Julie said to him, bringing me back from my thoughts. We exchanged phone numbers and said our goodbyes. Julie and I got to the car and drove home. The whole time I kept thinking about him and all I did was bring up the discussion about him asking Julie a couple of questions. What's going on girl? You've never talked about a guy the way you did today. Julie asked. Well, I'm in love, I said to her and smiled shyly. Right from that moment Rolly and I got better in our relationship. We went out a lot and I couldn't get enough of him.
And back to our wedding day, I couldn't believe I would be married any sooner. And here I am standing in front of my soon-to-be husband, I couldn't help but cry as we exchanged our vows and then I heard the Pastor say you may kiss your bride and we kissed as the audience clapped. I couldn't imagine my life without this man. Everything felt perfect, from my dream gown to having my wedding performed at the beach it was just the perfect scene for me.
We danced with a few friends as well as received comments from our friends and took pictures with friends and well-wishers. We came to the end of the party as we were ushered out to where our car was parked. Rolly opened the door for me to get in and then we zoomed as I got my head out from the car glass to wave to everyone who came out.
Our honeymoon was for two weeks and was spent at an exquisite hotel. We did everything together. There's nothing we haven't tried. We were the happiest couple on earth at that moment. 2weeks were over and we had to get back to our normal lives.
Rolly worked with the military. He was a highly ranked and celebrated officer because of his accomplishments in the military. I owned a flower shop that was just a few meters away from home. We lived happily and life was better for us both.
Rolly got a call to report to base. He was being deployed. The Americans and the Russian were at war. This war has been raging for years now Hence it was called the UNENDING war. it's been on for so long nobody knows its origin, what started it, or who even started it. All people knew was it has claimed the lives of so many people over the years. Rolly was being redeployed. My husband gets to fight for his country once again.
I wasn't happy to hear this. It's been barely 5months since we got married and now I'm going to lose my husband to a fucking war but why him. I tried talking him out of it and making him understand where I was coming from, asking him to decline the offer but, he refused, "I'm not a coward, I'm a patriot, I'll serve my country in all capability even if it's the last thing I do" those were his exact words. I knew he was all this: brave, courageous, smart, and fearless, but for just this once I wished he wasn't, I wished he didn't have to go, I didn't want to lose my husband.
A day before he left, his friends came over to see him. After I had served them with drinks I stood by the corner to listen to their conversation. "But you know you can decide to stay back from the operation, you just got married and it's understandable" this came from his best friend Troy. "Oh you know how Major Peter can be, he won't accept that especially with my position in the military" Rolly replied. I couldn't bear listening to this conversation, I ran to my room and cried myself out to sleep. After Roy's friends left, he made his way to the room. I was fast asleep and I didn't know when he got in. "Hey baby, you slept already," Rolly said to me while I snuggled up and tried to clean the dirt from my eyes. `` You've been crying again? Rolly asked as he wrapped his arms around me as tears rolled down from my cheeks. "Oh baby you need to stop crying, I'll be back I promise you. Just trust me" Rolly said this trying to comfort me as he cuddled me from behind and kissed me.

The day came when he had to leave. I was moody, I made him a cheese sandwich for breakfast as he was in the room making his final preparation. He came downstairs to see me packing up His breakfast. "Baby you know you don't need to do that, you know how I feel when I eat in the morning," He said to me, I was quiet the whole time and he clearly understood I wasn't in the mood and I was still sad about him leaving. We made our way to the car as I took over the driver's seat, I checked my wristwatch, started the engine, and drove off. There was silence between us but to be honest I just had nothing to say to him. I felt numb the whole time. "Will you just talk to me at least before I go?" He broke the silence. "What do you want me to say?" I asked back. We got to the barracks, I got out to get his luggage from the back seat while he turned to my side, I felt weak as he hugged me so tight, there and there I cried so hard that I had to gasp for air. We kiss

On the 12th of August 1995, I was seated on the couch watching my favorite show "Best Friends' ' with a bowl of popcorn I made that evening. When I got a call from Julie and asked what I was doing, I told her I was watching my favorite program. And then she told me to check the latest updates from the government and that I had to tune in to the news channel. I didn't wait a second. I changed to the news channel and the update was that "The Military Camp was burnt down leaving no persons alive". I tried to find my voice as Julie kept calling my name on the phone but I paid no attention to her. I broke into hot tears, not saying a word to her. She kept calling my name but I was in no mood for pity. I hung up and continued pouring out those tears. I was so out of control I threw my bowl of popcorn away. Cried even more and bitterly. I shouted my husband's name aloud. "Rolly, Rolly... I warned you but you wouldn't listen. I told you not to go, but now you

Few days had passed, a date was set for my husband to be buried and that of his colleagues who died in the war. I was still sad and weak about the whole thing but I’d to be strong. Julie, my friend, was really helpful and she tried to support me the little she could. The day came and everyone was dressed in black. I couldn’t still believe I’d one day, any sooner be dressed up this way to mourn my husband. I’d managed to dress up in a black short gown with my hair tied up in a ponytail and my fascinator on my head. My mom came into my room, “Are you ready? She asked while she walked to me and embraced me from behind. I nodded and turned to her. And hugged her tightly. “You’ve always been a strong girl and I know you’ll be fine.” Mom continued. We made our way out to the living room. Dad and my sister, Hailey, were already waiting for me. I was a bit anxious because I didn’t know what to expect and I haven’

The entire room was filled with darkness, I could feel a stronger presence of someone, of someone I love or someone I’d loved so much. A ray of light shone in through the door, I got closer, I could see a shadow, fear ran through me but I kept getting closer, closer and closer. I realized who it was, that’s my husband, oh my ex, oh no he’s dead. I called on him Rolly, Rolly, is that you? I could see him smile at me. Why did you leave me this way I asked? I got no reply. I stood there speechless. I still love you. He said to me, I jumped off from my bed, fear grabbed me, I looked around to know where I was and if I was alone. I had already packed to my new place and I was still trying to get comfortable with the whole place. Oh, what I dream. I said and relaxed. A little tear ran down my eyes, will I keep living this way, Rolly what are you doing to me? I checked my stand to know what

Monday morning, I woke up feeling happy and yet anxious. The feeling of having to meet new people at work. What does my boss look like, kind and understanding? I was an introvert and I think that’s the more reason I'd go with the flower business. I made myself a coffee, took a shower. My phone was ringing. When I was done, I went to check who had been calling my phone, it was my mom, I’m sure she’s calling to know my preparations for work today. I called her back. Hey mom, sorry I missed your call, I was in the shower, getting prepared for work. I spoke first. I was calling to check up on you and wish you a fruitful day at work. Thank you, mom, I replied hesitantly. I have to go now. Talk to you soon. I hung up. I had already selected clothes I wanted to wear for my first day. Black pants and a white body fitted shirt and a red shoe with my Gucci bag. I made sure my hair was rightly conditioned and curled. I was anxious to see myself in the mirror. It

After I had attended my sister’s grad, I was happy at least I was able to clear my head off the incident at the office. But I was still scared to resume work, who else will embarrass me like the way phoebe did. Hmmm, I need to stay away from Mr. Lucas. I agree with her. I think it’s too early to be in a situation like this one.The next day came when I had to resume work. I felt so reluctant and I was wondering what my day would be like. The people I had to face. Gosh, I’m not excited for this day. One week ago, I was happy but now it’s the opposite. I’m wondering how many more people hate me now or some who would pretend to love me.

Meghan, I know something is wrong, I can tell when I see one. he said, leaning towards me. I awkwardly adjusted myself to the chair. I didn’t want to tell him why I had to stop seeing him. Besides, it’s the right thing to do. Telling him anything could cause more problems; I didn’t want anyone to get fired. Anyone like Phoebe. No sir, I’m telling the truth. I replied. Hmmm, it's fine then. He stood up, button up his suit, and left the office. I kept swallowing my froth, I felt so uneased watching him leave. Why don’t you tell him? She laid on my bed with her legs up to the ceiling playing with them.

CHAPTER 10 And here I am, stalked between letting Teejay into my life and also telling Lucas the reason I have been avoiding him. For whatever reason I was scared, my feelings seemed unsure. I didn’t know if I had truly loved Teejay or rather if I felt the same way for my boss, still trying to figure out why I find it hard to talk things out with him. I was seated right beside Teejay, lost in thoughts while waiting for our meals. The event earlier at the office premises kept replaying, what do I have to say to Lucas when I get back, how do I face him. Are you okay? He broke the silence. Yeah, sure. I stuttered Thank God the meal c
