By having him so close to me again, I feel like I can become someone good enough for both of us. "Just be careful around him," Madeline says. "I know you…Tiffany. Please be careful." "I shouldn't fall in love with him?" I tease because we both know that I am hopelessly in love with Larry who is
Gerald Pov The pattering sounds of rain on the restaurant's glass windows kept me company while I waited for her. The sound was becoming increasingly unsettling, bringing back memories as I gazed out the window, far out into the outer area, observing the dark night that appeared to have been mira
Gerald I thought I'd be happy to see her, but I wasn't. I was able to check her stomach without her noticing, and there was no indication of a lump. She did get rid of it, however. "It's good to see you again, Gerald," she says, her voice steady and her grin stoic. I decided to play along and gi
Tiffany I sat with my legs sprawled on my old couch in my small, cramped flat sitting room, looking at the paper in front of me. I continued to stare at the list I had made with my own hands last week. I made a list of things I needed to buy for my sister and myself, and after a week, I had only
Tiffany Laurene Billy and I have known each other since high school, and she has been the best friend I could ever want for. Laurene has always been there for me in ways I could never be there for her. Laurene was an averagely tall and skinny woman who looked absolutely lovely in her early
Gerald “Like seriously Larry? Why did you even accept to take care of him? How are you even sure that baby is yours? You know I don't trust that Caroline of a lady. There’s something about her that doesn’t sit right with me and now, see what she did to you. That asshole of a woman!” She ranted, pi
As soon as Anabelle stepped into the room, her eyes roamed around until they fell on Larry who was still in my mom's arms. She excitedly drops the bags on her hands to the floor and hurries over, making weird faces that adults make to babies. I never thought she'd be so cool with Larry after our las
Carlos sat down behind the wheel and drove us out. . . . . . . . . Tiffany Lawrence . . . . . . . After submitting the job application for the 'spicy and Everything in between' grocery store, I'd been called for an interview two days later and after that, I was given the job and asked to resume

I square my shoulders and look at her dead in the eyes. “I don’t care about anything else, Sweets. I want you to be someone I can be myself with. I want to protect you, love you, and ache for you. I want to be the man that you seek for. Please let me be that for you…for us.” Is This Real?
Larry I pass her the chocolates and she opens it and takes one out. She bites from it and closes her eyes to savor the sweet taste. “Do you like it?” I ask. She nods. “You have good taste. Try it with me, Larry.” We sit together on the couch in the living room and I take one of the chocolat
I actually atop breathing and a shiver runs down my spine when I hear this because, somehow, I know it might be the truth and me clinging onto old memories and what ifs and maybes are because I can’t get over leaving again. “Hard truth, Tiffany?” Laurene asks but she doesn’t wait for an answer. “
I raise my cup and lean forward. We are sitting in a circle so it makes it easy for me to look from either of the friends here with me. “What should we toast to?” Laurene licks her lips and raises her glass too. “To us being the most creative friends on the East Coast.” “To our reunion!” Brynn s
Tiffany I go to visit Laurene at her place to tell her about what has been happening. "I don't support you leaving Adrian for whatever you are doing!" She says to me. "Is that why you gave him my number and where to find me?" I ask. I'm still angry that she did but when I ask this, I am not r
"That is lovely," she says and we kiss again. It feels like this is the best life. I leave her house and go home. I am happy with how everything is turning out to be that for a while I seem to have forgotten about Caroline's cheating and her hurting our son until she shows up at my house the n
"And the divorce papers you sent?" She asks with a rather sharp tone. "That hurt me. What about it? What are we to do with that?" "Tear it up," I say. "I can't stand a minute with you, sweets. Forgive me and stay with me." I take her to my car and drive her home. On the drive home, we are silent
Larry Tiffany kisses me and it takes all of my willpower not to slam her into me and kiss her with all of my pent-up emotions. I miss her dearly and having her so close to me only ignites the longing and doubles it too. After she breaks the kiss, we stand apart just breathing in each other's s
