Journey

Everything changed when we knew how each other felt. Almost wish we wouldn't have said anything.

The next few months were very difficult.

We needed a way to talk. But secretly. Neither of our intentions were inadequate. We both loved our own families very much. On the other hand, we wondered why we were so captivated. Why, If I was in love with

the father of my child, and my crush was perfectly happy at home with his family, did we fall completely head over heels for each other.

We needed a way to communicate with each other, and we found a way.

I was walking out of class early one morning, and I get a text message on my phone from an email address heyitsme@yahoo.com. I knew immediately we would communicate via secret e-mail.

Any where between 200-250 e-mails where sent... per day.

Our relationship was merely based on connection... Physical Attraction was a small part of it. But, overall, It was the sparks that flew every time we seen each other.

We talked about what it would be like if we were to end up together. At this point in our lives, we were just talking. No interest at all in hurting our significant others.

One day he wasn't at work. I hated these days. I was missing him all day.

I got a message close to the end of the night. It said "...Ride with me".

"Leave work and take a ride with me."

I asked to go home early. We rode to the liquor store and back. On the way, we talked about disregarding our feelings for each other. We decided this time that we would work on our families. All the effort we spent on each other, we thought, would be very constructive for our own homes.

"I am going to work things out with him, Let me know if you change your mind." I sent to him, a few days later.

Immediately, My phone rings. The caller Id says it is him. This is eerie. He doesn't call me for the fear we will be caught talking.

I answer, Hello? Almost in a whisper and I was the only way home.

Khelli? She says...
