I am not naïve. I know that love is not the only reason for my existence....It is very powerful and not to be taken advantage of.

gentle.  He was my knight in shining armor. He knew when I was feeling 
down and actually comforted me. 

I had never had a boyfriend before to show me public affection.  Not
like I awaited the day to do an out and out full tongue kiss smack dab 
in the middle of a three story mall.  But holding hands or hugging 
every now and then was kind of special.  Allowing everyone around to 
get some small inkling of what we meant to  each other by our actions 
that were so very subtle but so meaningful like an opportunity to 
exploit our love.  Robert never had a problem with it and would declare 
on numerous occasions that I was his baby to anyone in ear shot.  I had 
finally reached that point in life where someone sees through your 
fallacies to who  you are and love those things about you most of all.  
I had then became one half of a loving, compassionate couple and damn 
it felt good.  Really good.  Too good to be true. 

At the snap of a finger we were no more.  He became a complete and total
stranger.  All the beautiful things about him that I loved so much 
turned ultimately into the things I no longer loved about him.  It was 
like the person I loved had turned into one I no longer could stomach.  
Our love had vanished as instantly as it appeared but I still love him, 
I am just no longer in love with him.  I am, however, still in love 
with the love we had.  I want it to return more than anything else. 

That love showed me how beautiful life can really be.  I am not naïve. 
I know that love is not the only reason for my existence.  I just 
believe that a greater power has given us the ability to experience 
something that is beyond words or explanation. That feeling alone can 
motivate, dominate and terminate a person.  It is very powerful and not 
to be taken advantage of.  I am just relieved that my mourning over 
that love has finally subsided.  I don't know how much more I could 
have tolerated. After Robert and I broke up a  part of me died.  I am 
now awaiting its rebirth. 

Chapter 8 

"Hello," I say after letting it ring three times after trying to figure
out who this could be from the caller I. D. It read M Jackson. 

"Can I speak to Shaela?"  He says and I recognize the voice
instantaneously. 

"This is she,"  I say.  "Who's calling?"  I know, I already know but I
have to act like I don't.  Are you following the game? 

"This is Marc. What's up?"  Oh my God!  Stay calm Shaela. 

"Nothing much.  Just more than bored and hungry."  I am telling the
truth here. 

"I just ordered some steak and salad dinners if you like you are more
than welcome to some of it."  He says, " You are just around the corner 
and could be at my house in less than two minutes."  Was he actually 
inviting me over!?! 

"Can I call you back in ten minutes?"  I say because I am not dressed
for this. "I have a few things to do before I can leave." 

"I can wait and I will wait 'til you get here before I eat."  He says. 
(He is so sweet already!)  "You don't have to call just write my 
address down and come on when you get a chance."  He said then he gave 
me his address.  Sweet and thoughtful uh oh. 

"Well, I don't want to spoil your dinner go ahead and eat,"  I say. 

"Nope, I am waiting for you," I think I like him already. "See you in
about twenty minutes."  Then he hangs up. 

I think we are about to have our first date.  He's not a stranger
because I have known him since we were about six years old.  But I 
still have to be cautious going into a strange home.  Before he lived 
right around the block from my house with his mom.  Now he lives about 
six blocks away with his dad.  I am so excited.  I feel it coming 
alive.
