Loving him, Love her

Shrimp Scampi and Tears

Maverick...

"Ryan, who's at the door...."

"Some guy name...what's your name again?"

"Move, now!"

"Or what?"

"Ryan who..."

As soon as I see Janell come into view I push past this Ryan guy and head straight towards my girl. I see joy, concern, and something else flash across her face. Not even concerned about our audience I scoop Janell into a tight bear hug. I've missed this women so much. Kissing her I'm lost, until I hear him behind me.

"Any reason why your kissing her like that!"

Looking at Janell I talk to this Ryan. "Listen friend, I think you need to get your shirt and leave."

"Now why would I do that. I'm here for Janell not you."

Sitting Janell down and whipping around I'm now face to face with Ryan, "I don't know you, your in my girlfriends house with no shirt on and I'm trying my best to be calm, but your not making this easy. And I'm trying to live like a real good Christian man right now, and that's the only reason your standing on your own two legs, but please don't test me."

"Ryan, this is Maverick, my boyfriend."

"Maverick, this is Ryan a friend of mine." She said as she stepped between the two of us.

"Ryan, I'm sorry about your shirt, here it is. I tried to get the stain out. Next time don't make me laugh so hard..."

"Oh don't worry it won't be a next time." I interrupt as I take Ryan shirt from Janell and pass it to Ryan.

"Thanks for stopping by you can leave now." I said.

"Maverick stop being so rude, but Ryan I do need to talk to Maverick I'll call you soon okay."

"No you won't!" I say with no humor at all.

"Yes I will!"

Ryan gives Janell a hug and it takes all my strength not to knock him out! He turns and leave. Shutting the door she turns and kisses me so hard I'm sure my knees give out. Once she breaks the kiss she opens the door and pushes me out slamming the door in my face!

"Janell, baby, I'm so sorry please open the door so that we can talk. I'm so sorry please."

"Go home, Maverick I don't want to talk to you."

"Baby, I can hear you crying please let me in so that we can talk. I know things are a little confusing now but we can work through this."

Two hours later and I'm still at the door. She's more stubborn then I thought, or maybe she's more hurt then I thought. It's not like I could have called her, or maybe I could have, but I had to stay focus on my mission. She has to know that I thought of her often. Lord, let her know that I've thought of her.

"You've got to be kidding me! Is he sleep."

"No, I'm not sleep Avery!" Standing I hug Avery and kiss Mercedes on her cheek. "But could you please let me in I've been out here for hours and I have to use the bathroom."

Opening the door I head for the bathroom. Once I'm out I head towards Janells room, and I can see that she's asleep on her side. Walking towards the bed I look down at her and I can see the tear stains on her face. Dropping to my knees I gently stroke her hair.

"Baby, it's never my intentions to ever have you cry because of me." I whisper to her as she sleeps. Her hand falls off the bed, gently holding her hand I began to tell her of the love I truly feel for her. After a few minutes I slowly began to drift off to sleep.
