I MET YOU Chapter 30
His kisses splashed on my face, but I couldn't appreciate his gesture because I felt a little uncomfortable."Chels?" "Honey, wake up," she called softly.I winced as I tried to move my neck. My body protested trying to look at Dempsey for the simple reason that I fell asleep in the rocking chair in Sunny's old room.Clarity warned me that I had been in that room longer than it should."What time is it, Dempsey?" I asked rubbing the sore spot on my neck.-Seven in the morning. His gaze of hers was awash with tenderness. did you sleep here? she whispered. She squeezed my heart at how sad she looked. He didn't know why, but there was pain in her gaze."She hadn't been in since she left," I said. Sunny's subject was like a taboo. At least, accept to what degree it affected us that she was no longer there. I think she needed this closure, Dempsey. Recognize that she was not mine and that she is with her mother. She — she She hugged me, murmuring things like how sorry she was, and that now

The reason I was distracted was because of the steady rhythm of Messer's fingers on my arm. He had been doing that thing for an hour or so. At first I didn't care, but I hadn't had sex for more than a month and I didn't know you could be so sensitive after a breakup. Then came the part where I wondered if he wasn't committing incest because he was supposed to be a brother to me. I think the body knew we weren't related or anything, though, because my breath hitched and I wished I'd take those fingers a little further. He had my head on his shoulder and we were sitting close together. He'd been a rebellious kid and got a loveseat for his living room, forcing us to watch TV more together than we should, but then again, we were supposed to be family and it wasn't the first time we'd met. we were so close. The movement was a caress from top to bottom. With a slowness that would make me moan at any moment. A part of me screamed at me that I should be grieving the loss of a special person

It was just a jealous rage. Totally understandable. I had just seen another woman trying to kiss me. I think he would be just as upset. —Bradley…“Claire, give me space, please. I practically snorted. I'm in big trouble with Chelsea. Did you realize what you provoked? I asked, taking a deep breath and thinking about how to fix this. My girl is not one of those who arrive with flowers and solve everything."I didn't mean to," he whispered. My heart sank as I remembered that Claire was in trouble. Her addiction led her not to measure the consequences of her actions. It was what Chelsea didn't understand.-I know. I just think you need help...-It does not work! she exclaimed, his eyes widening with obvious anguish. The only way not to relapse is when you are with me. You calm me down The desperation in her tone caused a sting in my chest. How could he abandon her to her fate? All she asked for was my company, not even sex."She recently tried to kiss you. Can you resist the temptation?

Running kept me from succumbing to cigarettes.I hadn't smoked for two weeks and it wasn't easy, but every time my brain screamed for just one puff I repeated to myself that it was all in me, that nicotine relieved my anxiety momentarily, but never took it away; She told me that she takes care of masking the problems, but she doesn't solve them.In that eagerness to want to smoke he had reached 7 kilometers.My lungs were on fire, however, I preferred this, to the ache in my heart every time I thought of Chelsea.I came back from Chicago after two weeks away from Louisiana. I wanted to feel excited to return home, but everything reminded me that she was gone.The trip served as a distraction and perhaps he needed a vacation. I had no idea when was the last time I did something on my own, alone, without family or children, without it being work. Perhaps my being asked me for a break from the constant noise of responsibilities. I considered fixing things at the office and scheduling a l

"Thank you for this, Dempsey," she whispered, still a small smile tugging at her lips. He called me Dempsey and that cut through any laughter, however I didn't state the obvious so as not to spoil the moment.-Thanks to you. It's been a while since I laughed like this,” I confessed, letting out the vulnerable side that she activated.He looked at me for a long moment, intensely, and then he sighed and shook his head, saying, "We've had a rough time, haven't we?" It wasn't a question, but a statement. Her face softened, as if my pain was enough to make her forget what had happened.“I know I was the one who ended it all, but I'm still mad at you. Hurt and disappointed. But I'll try not to be so rude. His smile of hers was friendly. Not a lover; she smiled at me like she was seeing a good friend. My heart turned into a wrinkled fucking raisin."There's a lot to talk about." But we will do it at your pace. When you're ready to discuss what happened, I'll be here,” I promised, and I didn'

I was sure that part of his argument was true, although I was betting that our situation played a role as well. However, he would play along.Me: That's why I'm a great businessman. You know, from eating greens and vegetables.He sent a smiley face and this was new to us. We weren't one to text her, but maybe this was less personal to her and she had the ability to talk to me.Chelsea: It's more of a personal achievement than broccoli power. Being a great entrepreneur is in you.His comment made me smile sheepishly. I stayed for a while looking at the screen thinking what to answer to that. Chelsea had this thing about leaving me without an answer. Maybe because he wasn't used to compliments. Not the sincere. That kind of praise that doesn't come disguised as nice words in order to have a benefit.Chelsea: Talking to you helps me feel better. Isn't it crazy?He wrote, which warmed my chest.Me: I have the same feeling.I answered. Talking to her put every need in her place.Chelsea: I

I had never come to this place.Even though it was December, New Orleans is touristy year-round, so I wasn't surprised to find tourists in a bar at twelve midnight.I was undecided between crawling away or having just a couple of drinks; he would know as the rounds progressed.I should be sleeping… I should be doing a lot of things right now, but none of them would help give me clarity.He was a mature man in his early fifties, this crossroads was left for boys of twenty or even thirty, who could sit and think for a long time about how to solve problems. At my age, I should be worried about Lucas's rebelliousness. That he didn't get a teenager pregnant. What university would he want to go to; what was his preference in a profession.

December 24: Good Night .He was sedentary. When you pass thirty-five, you prefer to stay at home and spend it with your family. At least, people like me, whose days are so busy that we even forget important dates. No time for extended vacations, getting home after eight, checking emails and paperwork on the weekends.For the holidays my inclination was to sleep, hang out with my family and put the cell phone aside.However, he had a beautiful pregnant wife who wanted to be with her brothers. She preferred to spend it in Lafayette with her family, sitting in front of a campfire. Since she couldn't drink, she would have a delicious non-alcoholic sparkling wine.When I agreed to spend this day with her I didn't consider the discomfort of being with him.I shouldn't care because we were in this private bubble for a couple of days, just being us, finding our way to where we were, taking baby steps into that future together that I could feel; one where I would watch my children grow up and

Thomas smiled kindly at first. That big head hadn't changed and I sensed that it was hard for him to trust my girl the first time. She hadn't told them about Alzheimer's. He hoped they wouldn't find out in the near future.The first time I experienced his lapses in my own flesh was precisely the day I turned forty-six. We were in bed talking about who we would leave Sunny with for the week of our honeymoon. After many birthdays where I felt apathetic towards the celebration, oddly enough, Chelsea managed to turn it around and make it the best she's had in a while. Nothing extreme like a party full of guests, but it was a Sunday, so I spent it with my family at home. Something as simple as a cake and a couple of gifts, but to see all the people I loved when I could lose everything, it was extraordinary.My day ended in bed after amazing sex. So there we were discussing whether to leave Sunny with Mom, Dona, or Joyce. When my girl didn't answer I looked at her curiously, thinking that t

They were getting married. The man he loved would marry the woman who effortlessly screamed how perfect she was.I felt like I hated her...He took away the only person who cared about me. The one who never looked at me for what he was: a prostitute. The one who tried to rescue me, but she was too busy being stubborn and stupid to let me love.Now I understood who he was but he no longer looked at me the same way; he was a nuisance in his life. A waste of time. The one who begged for a little sex or attention.I wanted to go back in time to the days where he offered me a better world. In which he wanted to be my friend; in which I could love him... when I had the option to choose.Bradley would have fought for me just as he was fighting for her. She didn't care about the bullshit he spread about Chelsea being a takeover, that she was using a pregnancy to position herself in society; that she was seeking to keep the Dempsey fortune.Being a whore brought me closer to gossip. Men told m

The end of January greeted me with the imminent arrival of my twenty-seventh birthday.On January 24, he would celebrate another year of life.I said that I was not interested in a meeting; if I was lucky they would grant my wish and do nothing at all. It wasn't because I felt any discomfort from the surgery, but because, although I was in a better mood, I didn't think it warranted a celebration.Dempsey went back to work and I went back to the apartment. At first, he loved my independence, but I recognize that he could be a bit of a loner.So, in an attempt to keep my mind busy, I thought I'd take out the baby stuff I bought, and find a place to donate.It was not a good idea. I ended up crying like an idiot in my room.It was the reason I was standing outside Dempsey's office, waiting for a meeting to end to see him.The secretary insisted that I could call him or wait for him in his office, but I didn't want to go that far. It was enough for her to barge into her workday, to dispos

"Don't leave me, baby," I repeated so many times that it made no sense in my head and the words got mixed up, creating an incoherent whirlpool inside me.The doctors stopped moving their hands around her and I knew. She left me. She left.I wanted to vomit...I hit the tempered glass with my right hand, to the point that my knuckles protested in pain, but that pain was preferable to the one inside.I couldn't even explain how fucking suffocating that poison was that moved through my being, infecting everything with a dull, sharp pain."You have to fight dammit!" Don't you dare leave me here! I yelled, until my hand came to life and I walked into that room to yell at him closer.He was angry and in pain and it was his fault. He left me here, in this fucking pain that was unbearable. She was coming from the depths and every second she was gaining more ground, to the degree that she didn't want to feel this. I preferred to die in that accident because I would not be able to resist.They

He told her about how it started; with the loss of memory, memories, faces, subtle things that are not of great importance. He told her that at some point he would become more serious, permanently forgetful. Inevitably, his brain would not be able to add memories and he would become an irritable person, with zero ability to reason. He wouldn't know who she is or those around her. He would reach the point where he would need medical attention because he would not fend for himself.My son asked if it would happen soon. Chelsea replied that she couldn't predict herself. She confessed to him that she had been having significant episodes for a couple of months; like the one at Walmart or that she almost killed her brother because he thought he was kidnapping her. My girl had the audacity to find that funny, in which Lucas and I remained silent, because it was not so funny from this side."I'm sorry," she whispered when she saw that he didn't return the smile. For now I am the same Chelsea.

I denied, with my eyes captivated by that wonderful smile that even with all the comments, lingered on his face. He would live exclusively for her.I had never been so sure of accepting a marriage proposal as I was at that moment, yet I was so happy that I barely managed to nod and reply a weak "I do."That smile widened and I was stunned for a few seconds, unable to control the effects he had on me. As Dempsey slid the rock onto my finger, I felt his trembling hand. It was like those movies where your world stops and the bad stuff makes sense.Looking at him, she wore that touch of pride and love in her gray eyes.I would fight my tears as his arms wrapped around me and murmuring how much he loved me.I forgot that his family was there, that the last month was a disaster, that we almost lost this wonderful thing; at the time we were just Mr. Dempsey and Chels. Two beings who loved each other and who defied any kind of circumstances to be together.It was crazy to believe that it woul
