The Start of Something
6/02/08
Janet opened her eyes to a burning sensation then closed them straight away. It was a feeling she had felt all too often but not in a long time. She could hear him screaming. The more she tried to open her eyes, the louder he got.
She thought of what she used to do when this happened. She screamed! She screamed, she screamed, and she screamed. All she could hear now were the vibrations moving through her head.
The tears wouldn't stop falling and she couldn't stop screaming. She could see him crawling, clutching at the concrete trying to say something more. She pulled, and pulled but could not free herself from this nightmare.
All of a sudden, she couldn't hear anything. Not him, not the sirens, not even herself.
"Wake Up!"
She bolted upright; inhaling and exhaling, inhaling and exhaling.
"Mommy? Mommy?"
She heard Brandon Jr. calling her and knew it was happening again.
6/17/08
It was early morning the first day of summer when he came into her house for the first time. He was the most handsome man she swore she had ever seen. She wasn't prone to making a fool of herself for the attention of a man, but something about him was irresistible.
She hovered all morning as he and his crew started the renovations on her house, her dream house. She was so excited when the bank approved her home equity line of credit to do the last bit of work she desired. She was more successful, well respected by her peers and also more active in community affairs.
She was also what they were now calling a cougar. She was married once before to her high school sweetheart and they had indeed made a good life for themselves. Every holiday they took trips to wherever they pleased and there was nothing they desired that was out of reach. They had even bigger plans for the future.
These days, she found herself a bit more reserved with her spending. Her only excess was partying on the weekends with the girls. Something she had never really done.
For about a year after the divorce she found herself searching for the independence so many women treasured but deep in her heart she wanted her husband back. She wanted the security of having someone kiss her goodnight.
She loved rising in the morning and making breakfast for him. She loved cleaning up with him after their nightly movie. She loved staying home and working in their garden. She loved all the trappings of being married.
When she and Brandon divorced, she found herself in a whirlwind of emotions.
After a lot of time, a little alcohol and extensive soul searching, she realized this wasn't gonna be as hard anymore. She started to feel happy again, she started her company and was making new friends. After all, she had been single now for four years and was ready to accept that it was time to make a change. Brandon was already remarried with children, twins, and dating didn't feel so weird anymore.
She even found herself in hotels from time to time getting her groove back! It was uncomplicated with no strings attached and nothing over her head; all of which was now coming to an end. She wanted to care for someone again, and have them care for her. . .
