Chapter
4:
You’re Back
“What are you doing here?” Anna shouted as she walked into
her office that morning. It had been close to a month since Brian and her had talked.
Which the last time they had talked was the last argument in her office.
“I just thought I’d drop by.” Brian casually said as he
stayed seated.
“What if I don’t want you to drop by?” Anna sneered as she
laid her bag down on her desk.
“Anna! Call on line one!” Sara yelled poking her head in
Anna’s office. “Oh, sorry. Didn’t know you had a visitor. But, it’s urgent.”
“Sure thing. I got it.” Anna said as she answered the
blinking light. She talked quietly, paying Brian no attention. He walked over to
her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Anna didn’t notice till she got
thought with the phone call. Brian leaned in and was about to kiss Anna on the
cheek when she yanked away. Quickly she turned to face him, with horror shown
all over her face.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Anna screamed.
Brian remained silent.
“You have a girlfriend and you don’t even really know me
anymore. What are you trying to pull?”
“Anne, me and Lieghanne broke up. It was a mutual thing. We
had been drifting apart for awhile now.” Brian explained.
“You and your only love?! How could this happen?” Anna
cried in mock horror clutching her hands against her chest. “Whatever are you
going to do?”
“Anne! Anna!” Brian yelled over Anna as she continued to show
her grief. “Listen to me!” Brian demanded once he had her pinned to the wall of
her office.
She stayed silent as he breath returned. She hd no clue
what to do. All those years Brian had been out of her life, she had tried to
forget what moments like this felt like. Brian seemed to not to want her to
forget.
“What do you want from me?” She sighed slowly as a tear
rolled down her cheek.
“I want you to love me. Love me like you used to.”
Anna saw that Brian’s eyes weren’t lying. He never could
lie. “Thing change. Hearts change. I can’t love again.”
“Why not?”
“My fiancé just died and you left me standing in the
hallway, alone! You left me! You thing I want that to happen again?”
“No. But could you please find it in your heart to give me
a second chance?”
“I guess. But don’t expect very much.” Anna stated bluntly.
