With a raspy but soft spoken voice, hy says " Yes Ang. I want to know how you are doing. I've been thinking about you and it's like I can't seem to stop. I can't get you off my mind. I've tried but I just can't. I"m sorry I just left you like I did. I had to. I joined the military and I had to leave, but I just couldn't say goodbye, I didn't know how to. I couldn't bring myself to tell you goodbye and goodbye to what we had together. I've missed you and longed for you everyday. I'm back in the states now, not far from you. I"m stationed in San Francisco for the next 5 yrs. I plan to retire then, after 20 yrs of service."

Ang gasps, with a lump in her throat, her heart racing, she gets up out of her chair and begins to pace back and forth. She can't believe what hy's saying, she just can't. Hy left her, abandoned and alone, and now after 15 yrs hy decides to call out of the blue.
Think think....... what does he want? what, why would he call and say these things after all this time has passed and the way hy just disappeared on her. Tears begin to flow from her eyes, upsetting her, flooding her with emotions she hasn't had since hy left, and anger too.

Sounding cold, Ang asks " Why are you saying these things to me? What is it that you want? I can't believe your calling me now and don't understand why, especially after the way you left me."

Just as a reminder this is in the quiz and games section. Totally out where everyone can see. Might want to keep it relatively PG. Know what I mean? *nudge nudge wink wink*

Silence on the other end.

"The military?" Ang was skeptical. "That's not what I heard at all. Not what I saw. One minute the world revolved around me, the next you were with that girl you were talking to. It was like an insta-relationship. When did the military thing happen?"

Hy sighed again.

"After her and the whole thing is complicated. Very complicated. It's too much to try to explain over the phone. Can we meet?"

Her head was spinning.

"What? Meet?"

Was hy serious?

This was all going way too fast.

Then she pictured hym in her mind's eye. Tall, lean, muscular, dark hair, and piercing blue eyes. Hys leather jacket. Hys hands. The way hy smelled. She remembered everything and she suddenly wanted to curl into a ball and cry.

"Are you still there?" Hys voice was gentle and imploring.

Anybody want to take the wheel here?

"Noooo" she barely gurgled into the phone, with her head under the pillow, her body curled in the fetal position. He sighed again, " Ang, I know the pillow is over your head and your all curled up in the fetal position. I'm coming over there now!" Suddenly she saw red, and went livid with fury. She jumped off her bed like a tiger, snapping the hand-cuffs off her wrists, and hissed, "Grr-r-r-r-r-r! I hate you! Do what you want with me!" And spit into the phone. Hy laughed at her, "Ha! Ha! That's my Honey!"

The phone clicked and hy was gone.

Ang sat there, holding the phone, looking at it. Not sure if she wanted it to ring again from hym, or if she should hurl it out the window so she would never hear hys voice again.

Would hy really know where she was living? Did he have the audacity to show up at her door?

Plenty had happened in 15 years. She was not the same person hy had left behind. She had grown, gained independence, fallen in and out of love, and was happy to be alone right now.

Still, in an instant, she could remember the intense heat of her love for hym back then. It consumed her. She hardly knew herself when she looked back at it. Was it because she was so naive, that he, being older, dominant, and so together, so she thought, that she was just under hys spell? Or had she truly loved him?

She had to think fast, brace herself for if he really did show up at her door.

Angie stared at the phone and frowned.

What had just happened?

Heart pounding, she started to pace the small apartment. Her throat was dry. Padding to the fridge, she reached in and grabbed some iced tea. With a trembling hand, she poured herself a glass and swilled it down in one gulp.

Would hy really show up at her door? Had hy been stalking her or something? Her phone number was on her Facebook profile, yes, but not her address. Then she rolled her eyes as her own naivety. That information could be easily obtained for free on just about any website.

In the middle of one of her many runs of pacing across the carpet, she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the hall mirror. Wow. Impulsively, she ran into the bathroom, stripped off her clothes, and stepped into the shower. 10 minutes later, she was dressed in her a low-cut but casual top and her favorite jeans. As she carefully applied her make-up to make it look natural, she wondered what the heck she was doing.

A virtual stranger was about to just show up at her door and she was putting on make-up for hym! What did she expect? Hell, what did hy expect? Hys ego always was the size of a...

The doorbell rang.
