It was easy to lose herself in college, and after that, commit herself even more fully to her study of magic. She watched her friends change with the ...years, the same in so many ways and yet the years brought new things for all of them; some had left and some were new. There were jabs at her inability or lack of desire to maintain any long-term relationships, and she played them off to the best of her ability. It wasn't that she was consciously trying to avoid loving anybody else, she just found. I wish I hadn't. I wish I'd never seen her again once I knew I really wanted you. I'm sorry Dav. Please, I'll never have secrets from you again. Give me another chance."We sat and looked at each other, in silence, for sometime. I don't know what she was thinking, she just looked sad to me, and that cut me so much. Her eyes were the darkest I've ever seen them."I warned you it would be a bumpy ride." I tried humour, "But I'll do my best to make this the last bump." Oh, yes, it'll be the last. Tasha was down, and a week later my wife and I checked in to a five-star hotel. We set up things in the room and went downstairs to the bar after texting Tasha to let her know we were ready for her. It took about an hour for her to get there, but when she walked in, she looked great, wearing a tasteful leather dress, perfect makeup, and every hair in place. We were dressed nicely as well, and I let the girls sit together so they could get acquainted. After we finished out drinks, I closed our. We were in a stretch SUV and Elena, Marco, and Missus Marisol were with us. We had a wonderful time and purchased four bottles of rum to take back home. We could have gone to a beach or diving but that suited all of us this day. We returned in time for dinner and a show.Sometime during the night our boat left. We would spend this day sailing. Karen wanted to spend some time sunning at the pool and some other time roaming the decks. We did and wore red. My wife and I attracted attention wherever.
