True Love Yes or No?

True Love: Yes or No?

A woman sits by her window and stares at the blue sky. She then begins to daydream about the wonderful man that she has been corresponding with. She imagines herself laying next to him, embracing and talking about what the future holds. They lay there for hours watching old movies and feeding each other popcorn. Her dreams never get pass that point because she does not want her vision to be tainted. To her that is perfection.

As the days turn to months and months to years, their fondness of each other grows. After 2 years of swapping emails, they decide to meet. He has arranged for her to fly to Arizona to see him. That day she receives the tickets in the mail and begins to pack. Though the trip is a week away, she wants to make sure that she has everything. The anticipation is driving her crazy, but she finds serenity in knowing that in a few days, she will be in his arms.

The day for her flight comes and she is nervous. She has never left Florida and has never been on a plane. She sits downs, fastens her seatbelt and gets ready for a trip she has waited her whole life for. The flight is nonstop and she arrives in Phoenix 3 hours later. As she steps into the terminal, there is a man waiting for her with a sign that says Tamia. She goes and introduces herself and the man states that he is not Robert, but his driver and that he would be taking her to meet with him. They get her bags and depart the airport for his house.

The ride over to his house is wonderful. Though her folks had money, Tamia had never been in a limo before. It took about 30 minutes to get to his house. When she arrived, she was amazed. Robert's house was huge. He had a private entrance and it was a good mile from the gate to the house. She stepped out of he car and there was a red carpet covered with rose petals that led to the front door. The driver grabbed her bags and led her into the house.

Once inside she was shown her room and told to relax and that she and Robert would be having dinner in about an hour. So during her down time she was both nervous and perplexed. She was wondering why he had flown her out there and yet hadn't even bother to such much as say hello since she had been there. With that withstanding, She was still anxious/nervous about this first meeting.

When she arrives in the dining room she is amazed. Instead of the huge table with lots of chairs, it had the look of a cafe in Paris. It was a small round table, 2 chairs, with fresh flowers and candles. Robert was looking out of the window. She walked up to him and and he turned around. Tamia almost fainted. Roberts face was severely burned and disfigured. He looked at her and asked if he scared her. She said no, but I wasn't expecting this. He then went on to explain that he wanted to know if she liked him as a person and that's why he asked that they never exchange photos. Tamia then said that she was still happy to be there because she felt that their connection was real. She said she did not feel deceived and was happy that she had came. The dinner was roasted duck with a mango salsa and dessert was strawberry cheesecake, her favorite meal. After the dinner, they went for a walk.

During their walk, Tamia begin to ask Robert and he stopped her in mid sentence. He went on to describe how he was an attorney who represented members of organized crime. One morning he woke up and decided that he wanted to do solely pro bono work. He informed his clients. They did not take it well but understood. One his way home, his car lost control and hit a tree and instantly caught on fire. Fortunately a stranger stopped and pulled him out, but he was badly burned. He sued the tire manufacturer and they settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money. Enough to where his children's children would be millionaires. He then went on to say that even with more money than he could ever spend, he was unhappy until he met her. With that moment, Tamia pulled him close and gave him a kiss on what she assumed was his lips.
After the walk, they set on the balcony of his master bedroom and star gazed. After looking at the stars, they settled in for the evening. He told Tamia that she did not have to sleep with him. She was his guest, not his woman. He said do not feel pressured. I would understand. Tamia said thank you and headed for her room. Once there she changed into her night clothes and returned to his room. She walked into the room with her hair flowing and in a silk nightshirt. Robert welcomed her in and for the rest of the night, they watched old movies until they fell asleep. That morning when she woke up, the first thing she did was grab Robert close. But unusually, he did not move. In fact he wasn't breathing. She called for his servants who quickly came. They tried to revive him, but it was no use. He was dead.

For the rest of the day, Tamia cried. She called her parents and let them know what had happened and to say she was going to stay for the funeral. After she hung up the phone, she noticed that their was a letter on the dresser with her name on it. She opened it up and began to read:

Dear Tamia,

If you are reading this, then I know I have passed on. I wanted you to know that I have been sick for a while and instead of being hooked up to machines for the rest of my life, I decided to stay here and die in peace. I wasn't going to tell you anything, but decided that you do not treat people you love that way and i do love you. So I asked God to allow me to live long enough to meet you and spend some time with you. I only asked for some time because I wasn't sure what to expect once you saw me for the first time. That was my fault for not believing in the power of love and attraction.

So I close by saying, always believe in love and all of its possibilities. We are proof that people who see the invisible, can achieve the impossible.

Love,

Robert

The End
