CHAPTER 1

Meeting Kelly was different. I remember as if it were yesterday. Kelly was sexy, good-looking, and has beautiful eyes. At that moment, I felt that I had known Kelly all my life. I was on vacation in France alone with my best friend Debbie, not caring if I met anyone. I was not looking. I was just there to enjoy myself, and wanted to see where my life would go from there. I was just thinking to myself, It would be nice to meet someone here. France is a romantic city and I feel so free and I’m enjoying myself. I felt that someone was watching me. I looked up and saw this guy across the room. He was staring at me.

Debbie looked at me and said, , that guy is so handsome, and I think he wants you.

No, he is just looking. There was a beautiful lady with him, I said to Debbie.

Why would he want me? Okay if you say so. Yeah, I bet he was just looking. Men will be men. I thought to myself, If only I had that guy in my life. When I looked at this guy for the first time, there was something about him that suggested he was not happy. He seemed so down, but he looked so incredible. And that smile when he looked at me, I was so stunned and frightened about the way he was looking at me with those eyes. Kelly was sitting across the room eating lunch with his beautiful lady. I was eating my lunch, relaxing, and enjoying the day, not knowing that someone was staring at me. I looked up, and I saw this man looking at me. How beautiful that guy looked. I thought to myself, If only I had that guy in my life, that incredible smile.

CHAPTER 2

The Passion of Two Women

This man was someone I dreamed about. The feeling was so real. This man was so handsome. I found myself watching him. My best friend Debbie looked over at me smiling, as if she knew what I was thinking. Debbie was watching and observing this man. Suddenly, his eyes held my eyes captive for what seemed like hours.

This man got up from his table and started walking toward where Debbie and I were sitting. He came over and said, Hello, I’m Kelly, and you two are?

I’m Christina, and this is Debbie, my best friend.

And how are you two beautiful ladies doing?

We are fine.

And may I ask where you are from?

We are from the US on vacation.

I see.

Yes, Kelly, we are on vacation, I said.

Kelly looked into my eyes and said, Nice to meet you two beautiful ladies. If I can be of any help, please let me know. I work across the street at the American Arabic University. And this is where I have lunch each day. I would be glad to take you two around the city.

Passion

"Kelly, this is my mother you are talking about. She is someone who I love dearly. My mother, she deserves the best. I respect you and all, but you are someone who she has just met. You two have only known each other for about two months, and you have asked my mother to marry you?

I know that you say that you love her and all, but why can’t you wait a little bit longer to marry her? Why the rush? You have plenty of time.

Rosia, I know, but I want to be with your mother. We love each other. And I’m not the kind of guy who likes being alone.

CHAPTER 3

I looked at Kelly, and that was when my life changed. It was nothing about love but having those feelings and wants. It dawned on me that this was the man of my dreams. My feelings for Kelly are a journey starting here and lasting forever. Kelly is my king, and I am his queen. Kelly completes and fulfills every part of me. He allows me to experience something very hard to find – unconditional love. What I needed from Kelly was unconditional love and understanding. Not some guy who just wants to sleep with me. Not one of these one night stands. I have been looking for the right man to come along. Never the right guy, always some guy that had a girlfriend or wife. That is a no with me. So when I came here, I was looking for that special guy. When Kelly came into my life, I didn’t know what I was getting into.

Chavi ok, Debbie and I were ready. As the evening went by, Kelly talked about his job and that he was not happy with his wife. Kelly looked into my eyes and said, Christina, oh, you are a beautiful woman. Why is it you don’t have your husband with you?

I looked at Kelly. What, Kelly, I am divorced for five years now.

Kelly looked into my eyes. Christina, please can I have a hug and kiss from you please? Kelly leaned over to kiss me. This man smelled so good. And the kiss felt so good that the kiss brought back passion in my world.

Kelly brought into my life an icy, glittering world. He brought a lust for life, a gift for love and passion. When I first saw Kelly, something suggested that he was someone who I could love. That incredible smile is so powerful it’s almost frightening to think that this man was someone who I could love. Kelly was so handsome. I found myself watching him. Suddenly, his eyes looked so deeply into my soul. The hungry passion I felt for this man. It seemed like hours looking at Kelly. It seemed so strange looking at this man I know.

CHAPTER 4

Kelly looked over at Debbie and asked her, Do you approve of me if I ask your best friend to marry me?

Debbie looked so shocked, as I was. It was too soon. I don’t really know Kelly, but I have feelings for him.

Kelly comes from a country where you can have many wives. Time is getting near to go home to America. I’m not really ready, but I have to go home. My feelings have changed. I love this man, but the one thing I don’t like is that Kelly has a wife. Bleghaida, also known as Blegia, was with Kelly the day we met, so young and beautiful. I thought to myself, How can I fall in love with this man so soon?

Debbie and I came to south France to relax and forget about the men and divorce back in the States. I look at myself. How is it possible to fall in love with Kelly? When I first met Kelly, he was so gentle and thoughtful and graceful. Such a good-looking guy. He had the quality I like in a man. This was the man of my dreams. Kelly was the man I wanted to have my babies with. I want this man to be my husband. To take care of me, to be there for me, to love me, to fill my needs, to make love to me, and to hold me. All these things were running through my mind.

CHAPTER 5

Kelly and I dated for one year. After that, he was living in south France. Kelly was Palestinian. The way of life for Kelly was something you did not do in America  –  to have two wives, never. It’s not easy for me to except Kelly’s proposal to marry him with another wife. My problem was, Kelly wanted me to be wife number 2, and I don’t like that.

Kelly asked me, Christina, honey, I want to bring my first family to America to live with us.

That was so shocking to me. That Kelly asked me that, and I knew that he had two children with Blegia. I thought to myself, What a big family living under the same roof. How can he expect me to be happy about moving his other family in my home? I was so surprised Kelly asked me that, and I was hurt. I thought, How can I let this man in my life? At that moment, the love I felt for Kelly is unconditional love.

When I lifted my head, I began to see and understand the taste of love for the first time. I don’t think that any woman or anyone will ever fully understand and comprehend how Kelly makes me feel. Kelly has not made my life with whatever choice he will make. To love him and be his wife and friend forever, no matter what.

CHAPTER 6

Tuesday nights with you. Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday with Blegia. Saturday nights are my nights to do as I wish.

I dare not step in the center of Kelly wanting to marry me. This is something that people in my country, the United States, will never understand, or I can understand myself. How can I possibly fall in love with Kelly or love him? He wants me to have his babies for him. He wants me to promise him I will never
