It had been a wonderful night for him. Even though a roaring storm was causing chaos last night, he was too happy in the arms of his love to care. Sarah was back and this time it was for good, because he loved her right? He cleared his mind as he came to the door of the room he wanted to enter. As he walked in he saw her dressed in clothes and the bed made she looked like she was ready to go. “Hey, I just got back from New York last night and so I had to wait to come see you till today.”

“Hey AJ, I am glad to see you so I can say goodbye and thank you for being my friend.” She sighed as she wiped her tear stained eyes.

“What they released you? That’s great!” said AJ as he looked at the young woman and without hesitation hugged her.

When she felt his strong arms wrap around her she felt happy. His cologne invaded her nostrils as she returned the sincere hug. He was too much; he was sweet and a great friend. He had made her feel good during her obscurity. “Yeah, I was released and now I am heading somewhere don’t know where yet. But I am.”

“Hey, don’t you worry I told I could help you till you can remember and even then I got your back,” said AJ as he saw the tears coming down her face again.

“I know who I am. I woke up last night from a nightmare I was having, but it turned out to be the real thing. It was my past, I know who I am.” She said as she wiped her tears again.

“Well that’s great,” said AJ as he handed her a tissue.

“NO, it’s not because I have no one to go to. The one person I could turn to was….Rony and he is dead. I have nobody; god must really hate me! Now that I know who I am all have is this huge dagger in my heart.” She plopped onto the chair as she began to cry more.

“Don’t cry, god does not hate you and you’re not alone what about me? I am serious I want to help you and I want to be your friend. Now come on you can stay with me.” He pulled her up the chair and helped get the few things she had out.

***********

She was in awe, as she looked around the huge house. Something told her AJ was very rich and a shop-aholic…she smiled at the well decorated living room. She was interrupted by AJ clearing his throat. “This house is beautiful AJ.”

Thank you, I am very proud of this house. So I have made some calls and may have you a job.” He smiled as he gave Rose the news. Rose, - she did look like a Rose, she looked tormented. “So are you going to tell me why you think God does not love you?” He sat on the plushy couch as he asked the question.

Could she really trust him? He was so sincere to her and she had to admit she felt some type of attraction toward him. She smiled and spoke, “yeah, I suppose I should tell you but you must tell me more about you.”

“Deal.” He said as he watched her take a seat in one of the other couches.

She sighed and began her story...He listened intently to her, as she told him why she had no one left in this world to go to. He looked at her natural rosy lips open as she spoke, she was different. He liked her, as a friend right?

*********

She was in her room, putting away the clothes she had bought thanks to AJ of course. He had insisted in going shopping for clothes and she agreed as long she would be able to pay him back. She had also tried to get into the bank account her father had for her, but it had been closed. Her father had left her with no money. She sat on the huge bed and just closed her eyes thinking of Rony.
Rony was dead and now she had to find his family and let them know. She had so much to do in the next few days she was glad she had AJ for support. She smiled as she thought of him, AJ what a nice guy. To bad he had a girlfriend, she thought, she could be more than friends with him. She cleared her throat and tried to forget about that, she was a widow and that should not be in her thoughts at the moment right? It was late and she got the craving for a coke, she slowly made it down the stairs and towards the kitchen. She opened the fridge looked at what it contained. She suddenly heard the front door open and shut. She smiled; AJ was back and early usually he came back later than ten o’clock. She quickly grabbed what she wanted and sped to meet AJ.

She smiled as she put the key in her purse; God was Alex going to love this surprise. She had called him and told him she was on her way to his place. But, what she didn’t tell him was that the other night she had taken the extra key and now she would surprise him. She started on her plan; she only had a few minutes before he would arrive. She started by spreading the rose petals on the floor making a trail to his room. She was busy doing this she did not notice a woman staring at her from the hall way.

Rose had stopped in her tracks as she found a woman throwing rose petals on the floor. Without asking she knew who she was, that was Sarah. She stepped back into the dark hallway and watched her walk toward AJ’s room and disappears into it. She slowly walked to the kitchen and sat on a chair as she sighed. She shouldn’t be jealous right? The fact was AJ was just her friend and that’s all but, she had to admit she did feel a little jealous.

Sarah fixed the room with candles, petals and she had bought some ginger ale to drink. She had to get some glasses, she stepped out of the room and walked toward the kitchen and was about to enter when she heard someone trying to open the door. She swiftly made it back toward the door and waited for it to open.

He hurriedly opened the door, he had to beat Sarah and take her somewhere else. He walked in and froze when he saw Sarah standing there with a beautiful smile on her face. “Sarah? How – did you get in?”

“Is that how you greet your girlfriend?” she said as she discarded her robe and let it drop to the floor. She walked to him and gave him a passionate kiss.

So she had not seen Rose, he thanked god for that. He hadn’t told her about Rose and he knew if she found out about her like this it would ruin the chance of rekindling what they had once.

She saw AJ and his girlfriend walk into his room, she felt sad he didn’t even go check on her or at least go up to tell her he was back. She walked back to the kitchen and cleaned the area she had sat in; it was time for her to call it a night. As she threw away the can she felt a tap on her shoulder. She held her breath thinking it was AJ’s girlfriend, but as turned around she saw AJ standing there. She had a lost of words as she saw him, he was in his boxers only. God was he hot. She cleared her throat and whispered a hello.

“Hey, did you just come down? I am sorry didn’t I didn’t get to tell you I was home but, my – girl is here and well you know right?” he gave her a smile as he grabbed two wine glasses.

“Yeah, well good night,” said Rose as she made it to the exit of the kitchen.

“Rose, hang on I want to ask you for a favor? See I haven’t told my girlfriend about you yet and well I don’t want her to see you, until I tell her. You know? I explained to you what happened last time right?”

“Yeah, don’t worry AJ; she won’t know I am here. I will leave early tomorrow and you know take a walk and get to know your neighborhood. I will call you before I come back.” She smiled and walked out of the kitchen.

**************

He sneaked out of his room and made to the guest room where Rose was staying. He tapped the door quietly; when he didn’t receive an answer he knew she was gone. He felt relieved as he went back to his room to get dressed. She was still asleep and she looked beautiful in his shirt. He just felt so happy, Sarah was back and he was going to make sure this time he made it work. He stood there watching her sleep her steady breathing, it was like a dream to him. He smiled as he saw her open her eyes slowly. “Morning dear, sleep well?”

“Better than ever,” she said as she stretched on the huge bed. She looked at him standing there looking at her making her feel more attracted to him. She really did love him; he was just it for her… had she done the right thing? By giving another chance? She smiled at him as she stared back at him.
