"So what does he look like?" my friend Shai said. Shai Limgon was in her late twenties, red hair, green eyes, another beauty that guys took advantage of, all the time. Shai has been there for me through thick and thin. Even during the unexpected pregnancy. Shai is and will always be my best friend, even more so than my friends from high school.
"I don't know. Look at James. He is his son and they look alike." I said.
"Well, no wonder why you fell for him. So, what is going on now?" Shai said.
"I don't want him around my son. He left me for his wife, and I should've known that. But I didn't and he broke my heart once and I do not want him around me or MY son." I said as the door bell rang.
"Do you want me to get that?" Shai said.
"No, I will get it."
As I walked down to the door, I thought about Elijah coming to my office earlier on that day. The way that smile reminded me of that night three years ago, how he looked at me. And I knew he was married. But I let his charisma take me over. His soft touch, his legs against mine. His smooth and soft lips pressing against mine. Damn it, I thought, I need to stop thinking about him. All I could think about was what it felt like to be in his arms. Damn it, damn it, damn it, I thought, he is married and I cannot be thinking like this. Before I knew it, I was at the front door. Before I opened it, I took one last look in the mirror to make sure that everything was ready for the night ahead.I was to go out with my new boyfriend. Aaron Smith. After Elijah left, I met Aaron at work. He was the brother of another psychologist that worked on "psych block".Salt and pepper hair, early fourties. He was just what I needed. Older, more sophisticated, and able to realize what reality was and what is still is today. And now, after two and a half years of being together, for some reason, tonight is suppose to be special. He wanted everything to be right. So, I outdid myself this time. I was hoping that he would like the new black dress that I bought for him. When I opened up the door, I was shocked. It was not Aaron, it was the police. I could not believe me eyes. Two blue and whites were standing on my front stoop, holding their badges. And all at once, my world crumbled around me and I could not hold my step anymore. What happened this time? Where is my Aaron and why are the blue and whites on my doorstep? This is when I started to worry, and then it hit me; Elijah found out about Aaron. And I knew what happened. But I was about to be told the worst news I thought that I could ever hear. Yet, I could not stand another accident.
