Click hereIt was a tentative, sweet kiss that only lasted a couple of seconds. But as he pulled back and opened his eyes, he saw that Monica's eyes were still closed, savoring the feel of his lips on hers. Her eyes opened languidly, and she smiled at him shyly. Jeremy simply said, "I realized that I don't want to regret any more missed opportunities." Then he pulled her into a hug and whispered into her hair, "Thank you for today. You don't know how much this means to me." For her part, Monica was a little distracted by the feel of his body against hers and the clean, somewhat spicy scent of his cologne.
When they parted for a second time, each went away with a renewed sense of optimism and hope, something that both had been lacking for some time.
Jeremy contemplated the job and its possibilities for his future as he rode the subway towards home. He had to admit, the idea was growing on him. He hadn't realized just how deep a hole he'd dug until someone had dropped a rope to help pull him out. The more he thought about it, the more excited he got. But he was having a hard time focusing on the job because thoughts of Monica kept intruding. That he was having spontaneous thoughts about a woman was an encouraging sign that maybe he could move forward after all.
As always, Baxter was pleased to see him return home. Jeremy scratched his ear in greeting and closed the front door. Just as he engaged the dead bolt, his cell phone rang. Turning from the door, he dug his phone out of his pocked and read the name on the caller ID. What he saw there stopped him in his tracks. How could he have forgotten? He connected to the call and raised the phone to his ear.
"Hello, Erin."

Anonymousover 1 year agoI hate to say this man but a blown air line forces the brakes on for trucks, that's why you hear the release of air when the come to a stop, the air compressors pressurise the line to unclamp the brakes. Just FYI for next time.
Anonymousover 2 years agoThis entire chapter killed the rest of the story. It's okay to end a story without shitting on it first.
If I could award negative points I would.
Jackspeed2uover 4 years agoSo what was the point of killing off Ava? Had the story run out of latitude and to keep it going you just decided to be lazy. Instead of writing better and planning this shit out you decide to just rip a hole in the story so you can keep on writing to fill it back up.
Also for fucks sake trying to lure in with an old lost almost flame. Fuck off. The Jeremy from school doesn’t exist anymore and has evolved and he had no connection to Monica so 13 or 14 years later she’s just a black chick 7% of the USA population.
Also looking at a major career change during a time of intense emotional stress is one of the biggest no no’s there is. And by fuck following a scrag to the job is even worse. Who will the company ditch if the relationship goes bad? Maybe Monica is so desperate for the high school version that when Jeremy refuses anything more than friends she gets vindictive.
Hooking up with Taylor would be better.
I hate fuckers that do the min service to get the most out and then run for the hills as soo as they can to chase the cash. Traitorous cunts.
Killing off Ava and the little boy. I’m done with this story.
Now to go back and give 1 Star to every chapter.
Minstrel_Blueover 5 years agoAuthorI thought long and hard about that. Part of the reason there was a bigger gap between chapters. But I concluded that he wasn't going to end up where I need him to go without a nudge (shove?) in another direction. It really hurt to kill Ava off, which a phenomenon that I always discounted before I started writing.
Thanks for staying with me. The next chapter is submitted and should be out in the next few days.

UltimateHomeBodyover 5 years agoIt might be well written but the story telling is shot.
Too many jumps to too many things.
I guess you will bring it all together and make sense. Shame as this series had been one of the best.
Minstrel_Blueover 5 years agoAuthorIt took much longer to produce this chapter than I expected, in part because I really didn't want to kill off Ava. But I think I was headed for a dead end otherwise. I hope others have a similar reaction to yours.
SexySandra01over 5 years agoSome truly great writing and very profound in lots of ways. However I’m glad your taking the story in a new direction and can’t wait for more episodes.
