Some of his friends now we’re doing well as he was but, some of them were doing to worse. At one time or another Nathan wanted to help them better themselves and he would think they are the one that needs to get themselves out of their own complications...

His parents agreed to leave him in the USA. Nathan inheritance a beautiful house, as well as a large amount of money that didn’t know, existed, but what was he going to say, no thank you; instead he was very grateful for the way they care about him financially, but even more the way they love him.

Nathan was doing well in his work; he was doing really well and enjoying life. He thought about having a couple of his bodies to move in with him, but then nature has a way to come up with a solution to a problem when is not expected.

It was a Friday night when he steps out from work when all of a sudden he gazed hypnotically at a tall, slender woman she looked and him and returns a smile that made him nervous with excitement. Her eyes were blue yet warm in appearance; a picture of natural beauty, he wonders if she was aware of how attractive she really was. He fell in love with Kathy White the first time that his eyes set on her. She had everything that a man could find desirable on a woman. Her blond silk hair hung loosely over her shoulders, and her blue eyes dazzled in appearance. He was hypnotized by her beauty, and as he stood in front of her figure she smiles and from that moment on, he gave her his heart and promised that he would never let her go.

Would he dare?

Should he dare?

He thought about it.

Who would dare try stopping him?

He wouldn’t care.

So at that moment Nathan standing right in front of Kathy he kissed her soft lips.

He thought she was going to hit him, but that day that woman of his life accepted his love as she kissed him back and at that very second it proves that they both had fallen in love at the same time.

They didn’t wait too long to be married, and after that life was beautiful, serene, and the love sharing among their friends and families.

Nathan loves her mother and father in law the way they were, especially for the gift that they created for him, the women that he looks has been a special gift for his love.

They were thrilled to have him as the one that married Kathy, also their only child they had on their life when then all 4 of them were a small family tight as a strong chain. Kathy, of course, had some other uncles, cousins, and nephews that lived across the U.S.A. They would see them once or twice during on birthdays, or some other type of special events. All in all their life was great, even better when one day when Nathan walks into the house and his wife says, My love I am pregnant.

And again for Nathan was great news for his life.

Nine months then went by, but when that beautiful day comes on, he was at work.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was one hour late. He made his way to the delivery room, and he remembered that was the time he was most afraid.

He was anxious and feared the worse, and as he entered the room, he was meeting up be a doctor and nurse who both looked at him in a way that told him all he needed to know.

Nevertheless, just the word of the Dr. was not enough to convince him that was it true as he pulls the blanket entirely off the bed and there they were Nathan Will little angel responsiveness been hold right next to his mother breathless.

He was hurt; his heart was in pain and agony as the only thing that he felt like doing at that very second was to scream out loud.

God, why, why, why.?

Chapter 2

24697.png

I t was about 2 o’clock on Friday afternoon as the school bus stopped to drop some of the kids. That day the sun was so warm that I could sit on my long beach chair for the rest of the afternoon after all I deserve it.

The fact is that lately, I’ve been working really hard mostly on Friday until 7 or 8 pm, to be more specific behind three computers doing everything that was necessary to keep the Company on profit especially to keep my boss happy.

But right now I have to get up and go to my backyard to pick my lawn mower to cut the grass.

Some of the teenagers that just got out of the school bus and walked moved way. Four other guys were still there now just chatting before they started to walk to their houses or wherever they were going.

As I’m getting ready to go get my lawn mower, I can see this girl walking really fast the street. I kept my curiosity; I could look at her face looking at me as if she was saying. Please don’t go away, but when she got to a sewer, she stopped.

I can see her leaning around it, looking inside it as she also kept looking at me.

She leans herself down getting her face close to that sewer.

I wasn’t too far from it when I had to see what she was looking for, but as got closer, I gazed hypnotically at a tall, slender brunette and by pulling her long dark hair now with a unique gold color glide behind her ears she returned a smile that made my heart bounce faster with excitement. Her eye was brown yet warm in appearance; I wonder if she was aware of how attractive she really was.

What’s the matter? I asked.

She was still trying to cover her face with her long fingernails, painted with dark light pink with dark black dots on it. She responded.

My ring, I dropped my High School ring down there.

How did that happen?

I was holding on my hand for a second, but then accidentally it fell off,

Felt off your hand? I asked as she could see that I didn’t believe her one bit.

You know, I was looking at the shape of one of the rocks, but it felt off.

It just felt off? I asked as I am looking straight at her face.

Yes, it did fell off. she rapidly answers.

Out of luck, bad enough, it felt off your hand, and worse yet it felt right down the sewer,

Yes, at the sewer. She says as she raised her voice a little bit.

You don’t say, I say as a questioned comment.

Yes, really you don’t believe, do you?

Oh no, don’t take wrong, that’s only because this not something that happens every day, I say as I gave a little smile to bring herself at easy.

Then there I am leaning on my knees looking down inside a stinking nasty sewer that’s right on the side of the street.

Let me put it this way; I was looking down the sewer for a ring to do my good thing for the day. I knew if there was one where she had to be at least 16 to have a High School ring.

In any case at that particular time all I was getting was a bad smell of wastewater from the bottom, but better than that I was enjoying more of the smell of a teenager leaning over me. Then after a few more minutes, I stood up, and I say.

Well, I think that one is gone.

That’s ok she says, I didn’t like that one anyway, maybe I can even buy another one that I like from a friend of mine but then again the right way, she says. I mean maybe order another one from school."

I look straight at her face as she says.

Anyway, I didn’t mean to put you through all this trouble.

That’s ok, I say.

Now we were both standing up in front of each other, she says.

I am sorry,

Why? I asked.

I just didn’t want to mess things up,

Again that’s ok.

Now there I was standing in front of a beautiful teenager looking at her light brown eyes and also looking at the beauty glazing that already had bought to my attention of the dyed line of red shape on her hair from top to bottom. But she had brought me back to reality as she says.

Nathan my name is Rebeka, Rebeka McNeal.

I quickly look straight at her face and asked her.

How do you know my name?

Oh! I am sorry, I should have called you Mr. Will, and I didn’t mean to be rude, it’s that one day I saw some mail that was dropped off on your parking lot, and I just put it back on your mailbox.

Really, I say looking at her sweet face. I wanted to tell her that she was a liar, liar pants on fire, but as she is looking at me, I just couldn’t let a word out still she insisted on saying.

Yes, that’s what happened,

That’s ok, don’t worry about that, if the mailman drops any other mail at the parking lot, I will complain or remind him, I say, as now her little cheeks are turning a bit red, so I let a small smile to make her happy.

I bet that on her mind she was thinking, that on how I am going to get lucky to be telling a lie after lie. Just by looking at her face, I could see how secure she felt telling me about her ring. Well with all that hunting for a ring that didn’t exist, but now it was time to go home and cut that grass.

Well, I guess then you can go home, I am sure that your parents are waiting for you,

Yeah ok, I’ll see you later,

We started to walk as she’s walking very close to me, quiet but with her fresh smell right next to me. When I got in front of my house I went to get the lawn mower as she was still standing there, then she finally says,

Goodbye.

Chapter 3

24697.png

I t was now a little bit late then 8 pm when Paul Butler and Joel Coats arrived. You know when there’s always that quote that’s my best friend. Well, I never had one of them because for me I was friendly with everybody. I admire Paul with his talents playing the guitar and Joel on his base. Together they would make a great group if they could find a good drum player who would follow all of their rules, but that was always hard to do.

In any case at this time now the sun had taken its last set- the birds had stopped with their singing-the night was now starting to show, as the light of the stars were now beginning to show its bright.

It was now time for us to sit out in the backyard and enjoy the evening. But before we would come upon what was on our mind, we were going to sit there for a while and enjoy drinking some beers before going out with the women that we hang around. Usually, we all got together at my house; as the women are always the last ones to show up, but that was alright after all that was not an appointment that they had with their Doctor; I think. As I, Joel and Mike usually went out with them to this famous called Red Night Club that we often went on our weekend.

The night is setting slowly. My two friends are out on the patio, as I am inside getting some snacks to bring it out, but before it was ready, Paul calls me.

Hey, Nathan there someone here looking for you,

Just for one second, It just went through my mind on who could that be at that time, after all, I hadn’t made any other plans with anybody else and as I walked out holding some onion dips with some potato chips that was ready to be served, what a surprise.

Rebeka, what are you doing here? I ask. And as I could sense her soft perfume, and see her beautiful eyes starting close to me," she says.

I am sorry Nathan, I didn’t mean to bother you, it’s that my dog ran away from my house and I really can find him, and with pause, have you seen him?"

No, I haven’t seen your dog; I didn’t know that you had one,

I said as I admire the way that she has her hair slide now been created, as a small 3-way chain.

Yes, he’s a black French puddle with a white dot.

Paul took a sip of his beer, and he says.

A black dog with a white dot, Joel looks at him.

That way he looks like an eight ball, Rebeka is looking at him, she says.

Maybe I call him that.

You mean he doesn’t have a name yet? Peter asks.

No, my mom just bought him yesterday.

Nathan was standing there just listening for that conversation when he says.

Then we can go to the opposite of it.

What do you mean? she asks.

You can call him Cue Ball.

Rebeka let go a very bright smile, as she says.

Yes, I am going to call him Cue Ball.

As Paul stood up, he says.

"All right you guys, it looks like that we’re going to see for Cue Ball.

It’s now almost 9 pm, and there we were now looking for a poodle baptized as Cue Ball.

More than then half hour now had gone by, but there was no trace of Cue Ball until we decide to give up looking for him. One thing that Rebeka had to do was to make sure that I was the one that she was right next to me throughout that whole cruise.

The night now was dark enough to see him unless he starts to bark if he was looking for help. We could begin to screaming Cue Ball as loud as we could, but if that dog could hear it, he wouldn’t have the slightest idea that he baptized a while ago and now we were looking for him. We were kind quiet, as we are walking back home and once there, I say.

"It’s getting sort of late now, do you want me to call your parents so
