"Hey Chris," said my cousin Tom.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Not a damn thing, you?" he said.
"Same, except I dyed Justin's hair blue," I said proudly.
"You actually went through with it," he said in disbelief.
"Yup, it was so funny. He would have never thought of it. Thanks for the idea," I said happily.
"Chris, I didn't mean for you to use it on him," he said.
"O'well, I did and it was so funny. You should have seen it," I said.
"Did you get pictures?" he asked.
"Damn, no I forgot," I said.
"Oh, well, next time you do something. Get pictures," he said.
"Okay, I promised," I said.
"I have to go. Lindsay wants the phone. I'll call you later," he said.
"Okay, bye," I said.
"Bye," he said and hung up.
After I hung up the phone, I walked into the kitchen and got something to drink.
"Hey Chris," said Erin, my girlfriend of 3 months.
"Hi sweetheart," I replied.
"I saw your video 3 times today. I'm so proud of you!" she said.
"Thanks," I said with a smile.
"So, what do you want to do tonight," she said in a seductive way.
"Hmm...I don't know, do you have any ideas?" I said innocently.
"Yes," she replied and walked closer to me.
"What do you have in mind?" I asked.
She stepped even closer, closing the space between us. She then softly pressed her lips to mine and soon we were heavily making out. I pushed her up against the counter, placing my hands on her hips.
"Mmm..Chris," she said.
"Yeah," I said and started to kiss her neck.
"Do you wanna go upstairs?" she asked in a flirty manner.
"Sure," I said eagerly.
We soon reached my room and she pushed my up against the back of the door. She took off my shirt and also took off hers. We began to kiss again and made our way to the bed. Erin grabbed my photo album and set it on the desk. I sat down on the bed and she quickly followed my lead. I pushed her down, so that she was laying on her back and began to kiss her again. My kiss trailed down to her neck. I began to lightly suck on her neck and then she mumbled, "I love you."
As soon as she said that, memories of Jen ran through my mind. I sat up on the bed and turned away from her, leaving her stunned.
"Chris, what's wrong?" she asked.
I can't do this to her, I can't let her love me when I'm still in love with someone else, I have to tell her. "Erin," I said.
"Yes," she said.
"I'm in love with someone else," I said softly.
"What," she said in almost a whisper, "What do you mean your in love with someone else? Are you cheating on me," she said, raising her voice.
"No, I'm not cheating on you," I said.
"Then what do you mean that your in love with someone else," she said, standing up.
"You wouldn't understand," I said.
"Well you better tell me Chris. Tell me who this other woman is," she demanded.
I stood up and walked over to my desk. I picked up the photo album and turned to the picture of me and Jen at our Christmas Dance. "This is Jen, " I said, showing her the picture.
"Chris, this is a school dance. This was taken how long ago?" she asked.
"1990," I whispered.
"So, are there any newer pictures," She asked.
"No, this was 2 days before the last time I saw her," I said.
All of a sudden, she started laughing.
"What are you laughing at," I said getting angrier by the minute.
"And you expect me to believe that.," she said and started to laugh again, "Why don't you just tell me that you don't want to see me again. Although, I must give you credit. This was very creative and very well performed."
Her words stung my like a knife, I mouth dropped open. I could believe she thought that.
"You know Chris, an airhead would believe you, but I'm a lot smarted than that. C'mon, give me some credit, don't make me fell like such a tease," she said.
I feel like punching her, I can't stand the site of her anymore. "Get out," I said in a low roar.
She immediately stopped laughing, "What?”
"Get out," I louder and more demanding. I picked up her shirt and threw it at her, "Get the fuck out of my house you bitch."
She put on her shirt and walked to the door. She opened it and turned around. "You know, I'm not just going to fade away," she said and walked out the door.
A few minutes later I heard her car start up and drive away.
