I thrust myself forward and fell into Richard's arms. He stood there quietly embracing me tightly in his masculine arms. A part of me despised myself for allowing this weak hearted man to fall in love with me. I removed myself from his hug and I allowed my gaze to fall on his eyes. His eyes shown the pain he was feeling at this moment. "Richard, I am sorry for hurting you," I said bursting into unwanted tears. He didn't remove the pained expression from his face. "No , Kailee, It wasn't right for me too fall for you, for I am much too old and to hurt to allow myself to take any more happiness from you," he said lifting my chin with his fingers.
"You girl belong to Troy," He said replacing his frown with a weak smile. As soon as those lingering words escaped his lips, a silent tear slid slowly down his cheek. I backed away and exited Troy's bedroom. Richard then followed me out gently closing the door behind him. "Ihave the number for Troy's dorm room laying on my dresser," Richard said quickly racing towards his bedroom. He then emerged a few moments later carrying a shiny piece of paper in which I snatched from his shaking hands.
The papper read: Guys official Dorm # 401 and then under it read the phone number. I quickly pulled out my cell phone from my pocket, shaking from fear, but before I could complete his number I glanced at Richard , who was standing there curiosuly watching me. "Richard what if he has moved on and doesn't need me anymore?" I asked scared of rejection. "Kailee, Troy would be more than happy to see you, so go ahead you must," he said insisiting me.
I quickly dialed his number and waited for an answer. There was no answer! I slammed my phone shut and gazed at Richard," He didn't answer !" Richard then wrapped me up in his arms and wiped the tears that had made there way out of my eyes. "Kailee , don't give up you must try again later," he said assuringly. He quickly scanned my face withhis eyes and then he formed a slight bigger smie. "How about you and I watch a movie to pass the time by?" he asked with a bright shine in his eyes. I wanted to reject , because I was to busy in greif for my failed atempt to get a hold of Troy.
"Sure," I said hestiatly. We then entered the living room , where I plopped myself down on the sofa, and he sat beside me. I couldn't help but feel a little weird about being this close to Richard, however I didn't want to hurt him anymore. I could feel his gaze lingering on my body as I sat there shaking in fear. I didn't pay no mind, I was just anxiously anticipating time to speed up , so I could dial Troy one more time. Finally when I had decided enough time had passed by I got up from the couch and went over to the phone.
I picked it up and quickly sighed. Finally , I got an answer. "Hello?" answered the voice on the other line. "Um is this Troy," I asked impatiently. "No this is his roomate Tim," he said with a chuckle. "Do you happen to know where he is?" I asked. "Um I think he is out with his girlfriend, or something like that," he answered in a mellow voice. "Oh," I replied sounding upset. "You want me to leave a message?" He asked. "No , but before you hang up do you know when he will be back?" I asked with a little encouragement. "Probably in about a couple hours or so," he said. "Ok thanks, Tim," I said slamming the reciever down in rage.
I slowly re entered the living room swimming in a sea of tears. As I entered I saw Richard sprawled out on the couch, glanicing over at the tv. "Richard!" I cryed running over to him. He quickly raised up and caught me in his arms. "What is it ?" he asked worridly. "Troy, has forgotten about me," I said crying up a storm. "Of coarse he hasn't forgotten about you, Kailee, what makes you think that?" He asked shaking his head.
" Someone answered when I called back , but they told me that he was out with his girlfriend," I said in a shaky voice. "Oh I see," Richard replied gazing at me sympatheticly.
He then brought his lips to my cheeks kissing away my tears, and thats when our lips met , kissing passionatley. "Omg , Richard I can't , I want Troy!" I screamed racing to my room. There I was hurting Richard again, as well as myself. I flung myself down on the bed, and I quickly dozed off. I awoke at about 10:00 pm. I quietly walked into the living room , and Richard was still laying on the couch face down snoring.
I had decided then and there that I was going to visit Troy personally! I quietly slipped out the door, and ran to grab my old bike out of the backyard. I peddled madly down the street until I reached the highway, and there I waved down a taxi. "$5.50," he said as we came to a halt. I threw him a ten and told him to keep the change. My eyes grew large as I set them upon the entrance of the huge dorm. I quickly entered the dorm , not meeting one security guard along the way. I hurridly searched rapidly trying to find room 401.
And thats when I found it on the second floor I stopped hestiatley in front of the door taking in a deep breath. Thats when I began to knock, and suddenly the door was thrust open.
