CHAPTER 1

Somos Novios

The first time I saw Chester, my heart and soul leaped. I remember thinking to myself, It’s you; you’re the one I’ve been looking for my entire life. Little did I know that through him I would learn my greatest lesson: FORGIVENESS. He is now doing three years in prison. He had thick blonde hair that was cut in a wedge, green eyes, and a smile that could charm any woman. He was six feet tall, had a very fit body with great forearms and a golden brown tan. He looked like a cross between Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. I could tell he was athletic and his energy would light up a room. Most people liked him instantly; and, if they didn’t, he would charm them until they did.

The first time I met him, I was still married to my first husband, Luke; and I was at my friend’s house. He came running in with his wife and he was dropping off one of his five children. It was a brief moment, but one of those moments that stay with you for a lifetime. At a later date, at a basketball game, I found out that I had made the same impression on him. Let me just say that Luke the father of my children, is a wonderful man and a great father. Unfortunately, we were complete opposites. You know the old saying, Opposites attract? Well, that saying was made for us. I was unhappy in the marriage, but I tried not to blame him because I have always believed that happiness is a choice. I used to envy Luke because he was content and didn’t seem to need more. He taught me to be content with what I have now. That doesn’t mean to be lazy, just be thankful for what you have at the moment. It took me eleven years to leave my first marriage; I have no regrets because I have three beautiful children. Luke and I have a great relationship now. I can say he is one of my best friends and I love him dearly. I just couldn’t live with him.

Approximately two years after I separated from Luke, I bumped into Chester at the little league baseball field and we started to talk. He asked me how I was doing and I said I was working in Livermore and going to school. He said his shop was in Livermore and that we should get together and I said, Sure, How about lunch or golf? My heart was beating so fast I thought my chest would explode. I felt faint. I couldn’t believe I was talking to him and that I might be going out to lunch with him. I told him where I worked and he said he would call. I remember calling my sister and my cousin and telling them how excited I was and how much I wanted him to call. About a week later, he called my office and my assistant told me he was on the phone. As he spoke, I felt as if I had an out-of-body experience and I had to remind myself to breathe. It took all my inner strength to contain myself from jumping up and down. Wow, he called me! I can’t believe he really called! I explain this to you now so you understand why I did some of the things that I did later in the book-not that this is an excuse, but so you can understand. No one else had ever made me feel like this. It was a feeling of euphoria, like a drug. I was addicted. When he didn’t call me back, I was heartbroken.

One year later I saw Chester again at the baseball field. He said Hi. I wasn’t going to say anything and just act like it was no big deal. He said, Sorry I didn’t call you back. I said That’s OK. It’s your loss. He than said, Well I thought you just wanted to be friends and I wanted to be more. I said, Wow I really wanted to go out with you. We talked for a bit longer and he asked if he could have a second chance
