tell him everything one day.
“Tell me the story please,” she said.
“ You were driving to college, you saw a car coming the other way, coming right at you. You took a risk, you went onto an unknown ramp, you know those ones in movies where they head down often, with road signs and stuff? Yeah that’s you, death was close. You come to a dead end and drive off into the water, you come out drenched, you look really good, sexy if I may say. You remember you picked up a hitchhiker that day, that’s me of course, so you rescue me, do mouth to mouth. I wake up, we both enjoy it, and in my semi-conscious, delirious state, I say I love you.”
It was a story but it was also a path Ethan’s soul knew existed in the future.
“Wow, that’s a big story,” Kali replied.
Ethan liked how he could use a character to say ‘I love you.’ He couldn’t tell her now but to say the word released the emotion.

The time had come to depart and get to their next class. Ethan was paying the bill at the counter with Kali next to him.
“ I’m going to borrow that waitress’s pen and scribble your number down,” he said to Kali while he walked over and grabbed a pen from the waitress. “I can do that?”
“ Yeah, you can, Ethan.”
Ethan wrote her number down, as he looked up briefly he saw Kali’s beautiful essence, then he returned to the paper and pen, and he saw a glimpse of her wedding ring on her finger.
Ethan tried to block it ou t. Usually he would be cool as it could indicate true friendship without any distractions. But because of the intensity of the moment together and how beautiful it felt he could not help for that moment to feel initially upset. He felt that disappointed. But mixed within that was the purity he felt, the love she made him feel and then that took over. Nothing else mattered. He had never had an emotion transform so fast. She was gorgeous beyond this world and her past was hers. She couldn’t change herself to who she was prior to their meeting. Kali’s past was hers, not Ethan’s and he started to uplift. This was his challenge, he was going to have to love her unconditionally. Humans sprayed that message, but never delivered it and at that moment Ethan knew he could master unconditional love.
At the front of the entrance to the cafe they said goodbye. Kali had sensed Ethan’s observation of seeing her ring. She had it covered during their coffee with her positioning and her hand bag. She didn’t want it to be there. Her behavior was surprising herself. She was married, and the man in front of her made her feel like nothing she had ever experienced before. She also sensed how Ethan had observed the ring, but remained beautiful. Not a moment of judgment. She knew he was pure. She also had found herself not wanting anything from Ethan, but feeling a love that was free. It was like she had entered a new sphere where any human elements had been removed. They were both unconditional. Unconditional from day one, the best and only platform to find true love.
They stood in front of one another and said bye and Kali kissed Ethan on the cheek, softly for one tenth of a second too long.

A COPPER IN THE MIX
Ethan, Carl and Christian walk ed together as they entered their class. There was an exam today and the three rocked up with a rebellious look in their eyes. Ethan scanned for the best position. He knew what would be the best seat, the seat next to Lenard. He spotted Lenard and also noticed that there was one empty seat next to him. Carl and Christian went their own way and Ethan sat next to Lenard.
Ethan w as quite prepared for this exam but he knew there would be a couple of questions that he may struggle with. Lenard was smart, super smart and Ethan thought he may just be the man to help him out. Ethan always had an eye for what was coming in vogue, who would make it big and who was super bright. He knew Lenard was a genius and he wanted to learn
