“So, I thought we could have a picnic today. What do you think?”
She looks at me over her coffee cup. “I think that’s a fabulous idea. Central Park?”
“Yes. I packed us a lunch, so after we finish up here we can head out.”
We are finishing our coffee when Dick comes through the door. He is sweaty from his run and has taken his shirt off.
“How was your run?” Kenz asks him.
“It was good. I need to get your man to get out there with me again.” He says rising his eyebrows at me. I flip him off and pull Kenz onto my lap.
“I get enough of a workout! It’s much more fun than running!” We are all laughing when Young comes in.
“Where are you coming from?” I ask him. He gives us that sly smile of his.
“I just spent the night with that chick from the diner. She was a freak. Liked to dominate. I’m used to giving the orders, but it was pretty hot when she smacked my ass and pulled my hair.” Dick and I laugh at his stupid ass.
“Not an image I need to picture Young.” Kenz says with a look of disgust.
Young laughs and says, “Oh Red, you jealous?”
“Alright, on that note, we are out of here. I’ll see you guys later.” I say grabbing our coffee cups to put in the sink.
Kenz and I are laying on our backs on the blanket after enjoying our lunch. It has been such a relaxing day. We have been here for hours and are in no rush to leave. I reach over to hold her hand. I thread my fingers through hers and place them above my heart. I like to have any part of her by my heart.
“Kenz, what is your biggest dream?”
She is quite for a bit before she says, “I want to be a successful journalist. I want to get married, and have babies. I want to be around to raise my babies, experience everything with them. I hate that I missed out on all those memories with my mom. I just want to live happily ever after. I know, it sounds ridiculous.”
I turn on my side to face her. “Beautiful nothing you want out of life is ridiculous. Especially something that is so close to your heart. I can’t imagine what it was like to grow up without a mom, especially being a girl. I’m sorry you had to experience that.” I kiss her hand. “Do you want to hear my dreams?”
She rolls over to face me now too. “Of course I do.”
I tuck a piece of hair behind her ear and smile. “I want to work with a professional football
team helping with injuries. I want to be successful, not worry about money, and live in a beautiful home. That is what I have always thought was most important to me. But honestly, I would give all of that up if I had too in order to have the love of my life. I want to be happy Kenz. You make me happy.” I move to give her a kiss. I push her gently on her back and climb on top of her. I cup her face in my hands. “I love you Kenz. These last few months have been the happiest of my life.”
She smiles up at me and says, “Me too Campbell. I love you so much.”
The first week back to reality after spending every day of the last week with my girl has sucked. When I have class she doesn’t and vice versa. She had to work a lot to make up for the time she took off, so we haven’t seen each other that much. Young is being a cranky bitch and Dick has been disappearing. Today is Friday and class sucked. I forgot we had a report due, so now I am down a fucking letter grade. The only thing that makes getting through this week tolerable is knowing I get to spend time with Kenz tonight. I texted her a half hour ago and still haven’t gotten a reply.
Me: It’s been a shitty week. What time do you get off?
Still no reply so I text again.
Me: What time are you getting off tonight?
I wait another hour and still nothing. This is not helping my mood at all. I am getting more heated by the minute.
Me: Kenz ... fucking text me back!
Finally, she gets back to me.
Kenz: What the fuck, Campbell. I’m at work. I only check my phone when I get a break. I should be home at 10.
Me: Come over when you get home.
It’s fucking eleven o’clock and she still isn’t home from work. I called her cell, but there was no answer. I’m worried sick and pissed at the same time. I’m pacing the living room with my hands folded behind my head.
