guys. She
flew out of my bed and ran as fast as she could, putting her clothes on at the
same time. I laid there for a second wondering if she would calm down and come
back. When she didn't, I noticed she had left her phone. I got out of bed and
tried to catch her before she left, but that’s when the door flew open and she
was gone. I was still naked, so there was absolutely no way I was going outside
after her. She might have run out but I now held in my hand the very thing that
was going to bring her back to me.
     
    Chapter 2
     
     
    So I'm not going to go into all the details of what
happened over the next few hours or even the next few weeks. You all know that
she didn't remember anything from that night. There was no way I could tell her
the truth, that I had become a total sap after only knowing her a few hours.
    We spent a lot of time together and with each minute I
was with her, I grew more attracted to who she was. Not what she looked like or
felt like, and believe me when I tell you, everything she said our sex was,
isn't even close enough to the truth. She was fucking amazing!!!
    All right, I promise not to make this all about the sex.
I know that is what you would expect from me but I’m here to surprise you, a
lot. It was never about sex for me. It was about how we connected during and
after that made us who we were in my mind and heart. I sound like a total pussy
but why the hell do you think I was always so conflicted. You don’t really
believe me do you? That’s why I’m here to try and get you to see my side. Men
don’t focus only on sex contrary to popular belief. That is, if we are getting
it enough and it’s good. Now back to the story you want from me. Well, more so
the story I want you to understand.
    So, I have explained how everything had been going good.
Now would be the time that you would like to understand how it all started to
change, so I will explain it the best I can. We had been having a lot of fun
together. One night I decided I wanted to take Sadie out to dinner so I
surprised her at her work. When I walked in, all of the girls working turned to
look at me, as if I was her boyfriend and they all knew about me. She walked up
looking sexy as hell saying, “Hey good looking, what brings you here? Let me
guess, you finally realized you need me.” Truth is I was starting to. Dinner
all of the sudden didn’t sound like a good idea at all. Something about what
she said bothered me. Panic started to set in and I didn’t know how to handle
it, so I used the first thing that came to mind. “No actually, I wanted to tell
you I’m leaving to go see Maddie this weekend.” It was a dumb thing to say
being she knew my visitation schedule. I could tell by the confusion on her
face when she said, “Okay, I will miss you but have fun.” My lack of response
led her to keep going. “Did you need me to drop you off at the airport?” I had
no idea what was happening to me but I needed to get out of there. “No, that’s
okay” was all that I could say before I gave her one last kiss and walked for
the door. Unsure still, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, so I thought I could
spend more time with her to figure it out. I turned around one last time and
asked, “Will I see you tonight?” She shot me the most gorgeous smile and
responded, ”Damn, it must be your lucky day!” and then blew me a kiss. I didn’t
really put two and two together until after I walked out the door. She was what
I thought about as soon as I woke up and reason for my smile throughout the
day. I liked her, a lot. I could see wanting to be with her more and more, and
that scared me to death. What started out as us just having fun was turning
into a relationship. Something I was positive I didn’t want. So what did I do?
I freaked the fuck out. She was turning out to be everything I knew I wanted,
just not yet. So I never showed up or even bothered to let her know I wasn’t
coming by. Instead I went up to my bar
