Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 6 Part III
“All of this will be said and done soon so don’t you worry.”
“Ok.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too. I’ll be down in a second.”
“K.” He kissed me and went downstairs.
I decided that I wasn’t going to be afraid anymore and went outside. I knew no one would be stupid enough to come into the hotel. It was too tall and I bet no one was going to find out where we were anyways. I wish I would stop being so stupid and put all this behind me. I knew he wasn’t going to be here all the time. But it’s just so hard now that we’re going to be so har apart. I guess it wouldn’t kill me to go down to the set every day. I could try to get used to it.
“Nikki?”he asked as he opened the door.
“Yes?”
“You comin’?”
“Oh yes I’m sorry. I got a little distracted I guess.”
He kissed me. “It’s ok. I don’t blame you.”
“Thanks.”
“Let’s go inside. It’s getting kind of chilly. I don’t want you getting sick.”
I nodded. “Ok.”
The next morning I got up bright and early. But Orlando was no where to be found. I knew it. I had gotten up too late and he didn’t want to wake me. That was typical of him. But he was nice enough to leave another not for me on the dresser drawer.
Dearest Love,
I’m really sorry I didn’t wake you so I could say goodbye,so I hope I can make it up by writing this. I guess it’s because I’m nice I didn’t want to wake you. You just look so beautiful and so quiet sleeping there. You just look so peaceful. Look,I promise I will try to call you sometime this afternoon. I don’t know what time though. I’m thinking somewhere between 12 and 2. I don’t know though. We’ll just have to see what happens won’t we? I hope
you do come down sometime. I know it’ll be hard for you,but you’ll get used to it some day. Well,I need to go. So,I’ll talk to you later then. With all the love in my heart.
From your loving husband,
Orlando
Well,at least he was nice enough to leave me a letter,I thought. I guess we will just have to wait and find out what happens. But I promised him that I wasn’t going to leave him and I’m going to keep that promise until the day I die. But my thoughts were interuppted by the phone.
“Hello?’I asked.
“Hey.” It was Orlando! “You’re finally up.”
“I thought you weren’t going to call until noon.”
“I know. But I wanted to call you now. I needed to check up on you since we didn’t get to talk this morning.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem. So,how are you doing?”
“I’m fine. Just a little tired because I just got up two minutes ago.”
“I know.”
“What time are you going to be home?”
“Late. Probably around 11 or midnight.”
“Oh. Ok.”
“I’ll call you and let you know later though.”
“That’s fine.”
“Don’t worry too much about me though. I’ll be fine.”
“I was going to say the same thing.”
“Really?”
“Yes. You’re the one who’s going to be calling me every now and then right?”
“Yes but you’re the one staying home. And who knows what might happen.”
He did have a point. “Right.”
“But I think you’ll be ok. Security’s pretty tight there.”
“Don’t think I haven’t noticed.”
“I’m glad you have. Well,I need to go.”
“Ok.”
“So,I’ll talk to you later then?”
“Right.”
“Well,I guess this is goodbye for a while then.”
“At least not forever.”
He laughed. “And I good thing too.”
“You got that right.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“Bye.”
“Bye,”and I hung up the phone.
That morning I didn’t do much(since there really wasn’t much to do. I really missed Orlando.). After I talked to Orlando on the phone I got dressed,took a shower,and went downstairs to eat breakfast. But after breakfast there wasn’t really anything to do because I had went shopping with Orlando yesterday and I really didn’t want to go out again. Especially if it was going to rain again. Oh man. That was not fun.
As soon as I got back in the room the thunderstorms started to flare up again. I just hoped that Orlando was alright. When stuff like this happens I really wished that I was with him. But I was happy to hear the phone ring again.
“Hello?”I asked.
“Hey.” Thank god it was Orlando.
“God I was worried about you.”
“Because of this? Oh this is nothing. I’ve seen worse.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. So don’t worry about me.”
“I’ll try not to.”
“It’s going to be ok. I promise.”
“I just wish you were home.”
He sighed. “I know. I know.”
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”
“I know how you feel. If only this rain could light up sooner I probably wouldn’t have to stay here longer. But you know how it is.”
“Yeah.”
“Hey,don’t sound like that ok?”
“Ok.”
“You know what I said remember? I promise to make it up to you.”
I smiled. “Yeah. You did.”
“And in any case,if this rain doesn’t lighten up anytime soon I might have to be coming home.”
I smiled at the sound of the that. “Ok.”
“But I can’t make any promises. You know that.”
“I know.”
“But you’ll be alright?”
“Yeah.”
“Ok. I need to go. I love you ok?”
“Love you too.”

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 7
And that’s the way it was for the next couple of days. The rain would start and Orlando would call me every afternoon. But the rain would always lighten up around 1:00 and he would never come home. Leaving me alone and with nothing to do. God I missed him. But there was nothing I could do about it and I knew that. I kept telling myself that because I knew it was true. Even though I wished I could do something.
That afternoon I got a call from someone. It was Orlando.
“Hey,”he said.
“Hi. Is something wrong?” I wondered because it wasn’t raining.
“Yeah.”
“Oh god. What is it?”
“Please don’t be mad at me,but I broke my leg.”
“Oh my god. Are you alright?”
“Yeah I’m fine. I slipped on something. But I’m going to be out for a couple of weeks.”
“I see. Do you want me to come and get you?”
“No. I’ve gotta stay here for a while.”
“I need to come now.
He sighed. “Alright.”
“I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Alright. I love you.”
“Love you too.” I hung up the phone and rushed out of the room.
As soon as the nurse took me to the room in the hospital I couldn’t believe what I saw. He looked just like me when I had broken my leg. But I couldn’t take it anymore,and I just ran over to him and broke down.
“Hey. Hey now. It’s going to be ok,”he said as he put his finger on my chin.
“I’m so sorry. It should be me here,not you.”
“You’ve done enough for me already ok?” He kissed my forehead. “You couldn’t have prevented this anyways. We all make mistakes.”
“I know. But still…”
“I’m going to be fine alright?”
I nodded. “I can’t leave you like this.”
“That’s fine.” He started to wipe away my tears and kissed me. “Feel better?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
“That’s good.”
“I’m sorry. I was just so worried about you.”
“I know. I know. I didn’t mean for this to happen. But it just did.”
“How long are you going to be out for?”
“Six weeks at the least.”
“I see.” I wanted to be happy because he was going to be staying home for six weeks,but I just couldn’t. I still thought it should have been me in the hospital and not him. “When did this happen?”
“Around 9:00 this morning.”
“Oh.”
` “I’m really sorry that I didn’t contact you earlier.”
“No. It’s ok.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.”
“Come here baby.” I leaned a little closer to him and our lips met. “I’m so sorry ok?”
“I know.”
“Are you going to be ok?”
I nodded.
“That’s my girl. I love you.”
“Love you too. I’m so sorry.”
“It’s ok. It isn’t your fault.”
“I know. But I shouldn’t act like this.”
“I know how you feel.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“I feel so stupid though.”
“I know. But don’t say though. You know how much I hate it when you do that.”
“Yeah I know.” He kissed me again.
“I get to come home tomorrow though.”
“But you can’t do anything for a while.”
“Well,I do have crutches,but you’re pretty much right.”
“Yeah.”
“Hey,don’t sound so down.”
I sighed. “I know. It’s just,with everything going on you know.”
“Yeah.”
My tears were starting to stop,which was a good thing. I hated it when he had to see me like this. But why did this have to happen. And now of all times?
“Nikki?”he asked.
“Yeah?”
“I love you baby.” He put his arm around my should and our lips met. And then he dried off the last of my tears.
“Love you too. I won’t leave you.”
He kissed me again. “Shhhh…I know. It’s going to be ok. I promise.”
I guessed that I had fallen asleep by his side because the morning I woke up with my head on the bed. And he was still cradling my head. I didn’t want to move because I didn’t want to leave him,even thought he was getting out of the hospital.
“Hey,”he said as his eyes started to open. “Good morning morning love.”
“Good morning to you.”
“How are you?”
“I’m alright. You ok?”
“Never better.” He kissed me. “And that’s only because I’m with you.”
“Yeah.”
“What time is it?”
“It’s about 8:30.”
“God only 3 hours and 30 minutes until we can leave.”
“Yeah.”
“And I’m betting you still aren’t going to leave me.”
“You know I can’t.”
“Yeah. I know.” He kissed me.
“I’m going to hate having to go back to work when my leg heals.”
“Yeah.”
“But hey,at least I get to spend six weeks with you.”
I smiled. “Yeah.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too.”
He started playing with my hair and kissed me again. “God I love you so much. I’m so glad that you’re here with me.”
“So am I.”
“You know the first thing I thought about when that happened?”
“What?”
“I thought about you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I thought how worried you would be.”
“Oh.”
“I’m still not happy that this happened you know.”
“Yeah I know. Neither am I.”
“I know. You were never happy about to this begin with.”
I laughed. “What made you think that?”
“Because the way you looked at me when you first walked into the room yesterday.”
“Yeah I guess that kind of gave it away.”
“But you’ll get used to it.”
“You know I already have.”
He sighed. “Yeah that’s true.”
“Having your leg almost blown off is not fun at all.”
“I know how that feels. Find out that you might not be able to walk again isn’t fun I’ll tell you that right now.”
“Oh god. I wouldn’t even want to think about that.”
“I guess you already know how that happened right?”
“Like everyone else.”
“Figures.”
“What?!”
He smiled and kissed me. “Nothing. Forget it.”
I gave him a look. “I thought we weren’t going to be keeping secrets anymore.”
“Yeah I know. But that wasn’t really a secret if you know what I mean.”
I sighed. “I guess so.”

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 8
We didn’t do much for the time we could spend together. But those 3 hours and 30 minutes went by fast,and I was glad they did. But now we would be going home and spending the next six weeks together. Orlando was forbidden to go back on to the set until his leg was fully healed. I felt so sorry for him that this happened. I guess it’s really true when
people say be careful what you wish for. Because stuff like that can really come true I guess.
I waited out in the waiting for about 15 minutes. Orlando had to get ready and everything. I was going to be happy that he didn’t have to be in a wheel chair. God that would have been horrible. I would hate to see him like that. But I knew the guy. He was going to be fine eventually. At least by the time his leg healed he could go back into acting. But by the time he did I would probably want to go back to Toyko. But Orlando would probably hate me if I did that. He wanted to be with me as much as possible. Which I thought was great,but what’s the point if I wasn’t going to be seeing until he got home? And that wasn’t usually until like 10 or 10:30. And usually by the time he got home he would go
straight to bed because he would have to get up at like 4:30 in the morning which I thought was ridiculous.
“Well,we’re back,”Orlando said as we walked into the hotel room. He sat down as soon as we got in. I couldn’t blame him. But at least those pain killers were helping.
“You ok?”
“Yeah. I’m fine. What about you?”
“I’m fine. Only because I’m not scared anymore.”
“That’s good.” He put his arm around me,but when he did he lost his balance,but I caught him. After I caught him we stared into each other eyes for quite some time. “I never noticed how blue your eyes were.”
But I said nothing. I was I was still shaking a little from the shock.
“They’re so beautiful. Just like you.”
“Are you ok?”I asked,still trembling a little bit.”
“Yes I’m fine. But you’re shaking.”
I finally stopped. “I’m sorry. I guess I was still a little scared from the shock from you losing your balance I guess.”
“Yes. I guess so.” He then took his crutches and layed them on the side of the table and sat down. I stood there doing nothing. He smiled and signaled for me to come over and sit by him.
“There we go,”he said.
“Yeah.” I sighed.
“You ok?”
I laughed. “I told you already that I was fine.”
“I know. But you know me. I just love to make sure.”
“That’s true.”
He kissed me and then started playing with my hair. “God you are so beautiful. I’m glad you’re mine.”
“Same here. Of course I wauld have to say that you’re handsome.”
“Why thank you.” He kissed me again. “I try to be.”
I put my head on his chest. “You know you are.”
He smiled. “Only when I’m with you baby.”
“Thanks. That means a lot to me.”
“I’m glad.” He kissed me on the cheek. “God I wish there was something to do. I’m going to hate just sitting here for six weeks if you know what I mean.”
“I know how you feel.”
“Yeah. I don’t blame you. God that must not be fun.”
“What do you mean?”
“Be able to survive those things that you went through.”
“I thought I was going to die a month ago.”
“Has it only been that long?
“Yes I think it has.”
“Man,the time has really gone by.”
“Yeah I know.
“But I guess six weeks will go by fast.”
“Can I ask you something? And please don’t be mad at me.”
“Shoot.”
“Can I go back to Tokyo?”
He looked shocked at first,but them seemed to understand a little bit. I knew that this was going to be hard for him to understand at first. “Why?”
“Because…by the time you go back to set,I won’t be able to see you as much and—“
He cut me off. “You would be more comfortable going back home?”
“Yeah. How did you know?”
“Because of the look in your eyes.”
“Oh. Right.”
“And I understand completely. And I guess that would be alright.”
I smiled. “Thank you.”
“No problem baby.”
“But can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why did you say yes?”
“Because I understand.”
“Oh ok.”
“Plus I guess you won’t be seeing much of me anyways after my leg heals.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m sorry though. You know I really am.”
“Thank you. I really do appreciate it.
“I’m glad you did. What time is it?”
“It’s about 3:30.”
“Well,I guess we might do something.”
“Do you really think that would be wise?”
He knew what I was talking about. He sighed. “Maybe you’re right.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No it’s ok. I hate having nothing to do.”
“Like after that time you fell off your friend’s roof?”
“Don’t ever remind me about that again.”
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to bring it up.”
“It’s ok. But only this once,”he said jokingly. “I hated people having to do everything for me.”
I sighed. “I know what you mean.”
“
Yeah I guess you do.”
“You have no idea.”
“Oh I think I do!”
“But like only a lot I guess?”
“Yes. You know baby.”
“I’m glad too.”
So that how it was for a couple of weeks. We went out sometimes,but not a lot. I knew Orlando was ready to get back on the set as much as I yearned for going home. I was
just glad that he understood what I was going through now,even though I knew it was hard for him. But he still loved me at least. That was all that mattered at the time.
Those six weeks went by fast too. And I wished they hadn’t. I wanted to spend more time with Orlando. But as soon as his leg healed we started finding flights so I could start getting ready to go home. I didn’t want to do this,but I knew it was for the best,at least for the time being anyways.
“Well,you ready to go?”he asked as we got to the airport.
I nodded. “Yes.”
“You know,you don’t have to do this.”
“I know. But I have to.”
“I understand. I’ll call you alright.”
I nodded again. I wanted to cry. I didn’t want to leave him like this.
“You ok?”
“Yeah. I’m fine. Nothing’s going to happen I promise.”
“I know. I just worry about you so much when you’re on your own. You remember what happened last time?”
“Yes I know. And don’t you ever remind me about that again.”
“I know. I won’t.”
“Ok.”
“Well,I guess this is goodbye.”
“At least not forever.”
“Yeah. I know. I love you.” He bent down and our lips met. I wanted to cry,but I forced back my tears.
“Love you too.”
“Well,I guess I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah.”
“Well,goodbye,”he then let go of my hand and started walking to the limousine. I watched until until it drove off out of site.

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 9
I hated having this happen. I was going to be lonely now. But I knew it was for the best. I just hope Orlando wasn’t taking it too hard. I missed him already. I couldn’t wait to get back home and hear the phone ringing. It would be like music to my ears. I just hoped
that he was alright. I didn’t want to get home and hear that he had broken something again( even though I wanted something like that to happen,but I bet if something like that did he
happen he would have to quit acting,and there was no way he wanted that to happen,and neither did I.)
I got home around 9:00. I checked the answering machine,and soon enough,Orlando had already called me. I could tell by the time we had got to the airport that he wanted me to reconsider,but I couldn’t. But at least called him to see what was up.
“Hello?”he asked as he answered the phone.
“Hi. It’s your’s truly.”
“Hi. You just get home?”
“Yeah. I got your message.”
“I can tell. How are things?”
“Fine. What about you?”
“I miss you.”
“I miss you too. I’m sorry that I left you.”
“I know. I understand though.”
“I know what to do.”
“Yeah I know that. I just want to check you to see how you’re doing. That’s all.”
I sighed. Typical. “I know.”
“Well,I need to go.”
“Ok.”
“Be safe for me ok?”
“You know I will.”
“Alright then. I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“Bye.”
“Bye,”and I hung up the phone. I wanted to cry. I felt so stupid doing this to. I knew it wasn’t the right thing. I just hope that he wasn’t too mad at me. Because I didn’t want to think about what was going to happen if it was the wrong thing.
I wanted to call him back and tell him a hundred times over that I was sorry. I didn’t want him to be mad at me. But he was trying not to fight with me so the only thing I could do was to be quiet and not talk to him for a while. Besides,I couldn’t help it if he was mad at me. This was choice and he said it was ok. But at least he said that understood. But guess what? An hour later he decided to call me back.
“Hello?”I asked.
“Hi.”
“Hi… Is something wrong?”
“I want to talk to you about something. At least while I have a little time to spare.”
Oh please don’t yell at me,I though. “Ok…”
“I want to tell you that I’m sorry.”
“About what?”
“About getting mad at you. I guess I took it the wrong way.”
I sighed. I knew he was going to do this,I thought. “It’s alright.”
“Are you sure?”
I smiled. “Yes.”
“Ok. I just wanted to make sure.”
“You know it’s going to be alright.”
“I know. I just hate it when this happens. I knew that this would never work out.”
“But I’m the one who said yes remember?”
“Yes I know,but I shouldn’t pressure you.”
“You didn’t,”why did I feel like he wasn’t listening to me? “I took this on myself. You have nothing to worry about.”
He paused for a sec. “Well,I need to go.”
“Alright.”
“Promise me that everything’s going to be alright?”
“You know I will. I promise.”
“Ok. I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“Bye.”
“Bye,”and I hung up the phone.
I really wished that he hadn’t taken the blame. He knew that this was my choice all along. So why did he think it was his fault? I guess it was because he knew that once he would start working again that we wouldn’t get to see each other as much…something like that. But at least now he finally understood.
There wasn’t much to do for the afternoon. I didn’t do anything. I guess it was because I was lonely and waiting for Orlando to call me. But I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Once he knew that he didn’t have to worry about anything he didn’t call me for a while. And I really hated that. I wanted to talk to him more even though we were thousands
of miles apart from each other. I just wanted something to happen again. But I knew nothing was going to.
And that’s how things were for a while. But Orlando hadn’t called me in like three days. And I was starting to think he had somewhat forgotten about me. No,I though. He couldn’t do that. He’s my husband for goddness sake. He loves me too much. He’s probably just too busy working. And I don’t blame him. But I just wish that he would call me or write a letter or something.
But soon there was no need I sure worry about all this. Because when I got the mail that afternoon there was a letter from him.
Dear Love,
How are you? I’m sorry I haven’t been able to call you. I’ve been so busy at work that I just haven’t had the time. I haven’t been getting home until 1 or 2 in the morning and I sure don’t want to wake you up. But I promise everything will work out soon. And I promise
that I will call you once things lighten up. I’m really sorry though. I really am. I still want to make it up to you though. I hope that’s ok. Well,I guess I’ll talk to you later then. I love you with all the love in my heart. Bye.
Love from your husband,
Orlando
Well,at least everything was alright with him. So at least I didn’t have to worry about that. I was just glad that he decided to call me that afternoon.
“Hello?”I asked.
“Hi love.”
I smiled. “Hey. What’s up?”
“Nothing really. Just wanted to say hi.”
“I got your letter. Sorry I haven’t written you back.”
“It’s alright. I understand.”
“Thanks. So,how is everything?”
“Just fine. You?”
“I’m fine.”
“I miss you.”
“I miss you too.”
“I have good news though.”
I almost jumped when he said that. “What?!”
“I’ll be up there soon.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that I’m getting three weeks off from shooting so I can be with you.”
I had no idea what to say. I was just so happy. “I’m so happy.”
“So am I.”
“When are you coming?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah. That’s why I called.”
Oh god. I still couldn’t believe it. “What time?”
“Probably around 6:00.”
“Ok.”
“You’ll be waiting for me right?”
“You know it.”
“Good. Well,I need to go. So,I’ll see you tomorrow night then?”
“You got it.”
“Alright then. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Ok.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“Bye.”
“Bye,”and I hung up the phone.

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 10
I was really hectic on the day that Orlando was coming home. I was so happy that I couldn’t contain myself. But I had to get everything. I just hope nothing was going to happen. I didn’t want to get shot again. And then have Orlando leave me by the time I had gotten better. Man I hated that. Well,at least I went to Mexico after what happened last time. Even if he ask me to go back my answer is still going to be no. And I hope he knows that too.
By the time 5:00 had come I was in a nervous wreak. But not that much as I had been that morning and afternoon. By the time 5:00 came,I was already out the door so I go to the airport to pick up Orlando. I was so happy that he was coming back for a while. It was like a dream come true for me.
When I got to the airport,it was packed with tons of people. But at least I knew where the gate was so I wouldn’t get lost in the crowd. But soon things started to settle down,which was really nice.
When I got to the gate,the place had already landed,but no one had come out yet. So I let out a sigh of relief because I wasn’t late. Orlando knew I hated to be late. I was probably the most punctual person in the world(even though I hated to admit it.).
I was so happy to see him walk off the plane. As soon as he did,he went to straight to me and we embraced.
“Hi,”he said.
“Hey.”
“God I missed you so much.”
“Missed you too.”
“I got you something. But I’m going to wait until we get home alright?”
“Ok.” That kind of scared me at first because we had to remember what happened the last time he gave me the thing at home. And I didn’t want to go through that again.
He looked at me like something was wrong. “You alright?”
I nodded. “I’m fine.”
“You sure.”
I smiled. “Yes. I’m doing just fine.”
He kissed me. “Alright. Just wanted to make sure.”
“I know.”
He smiled. “What’s that supposed to mean.”
We laughed. “You know what I mean!”
He put this arm around my shoulder and kissed me again. “I know.”
“I’m glad you’re back.”
“So am I baby. So am I.”
As soon as we got home(an hour later),he decided that he was going to show me what he had gotten me. And guess what it was? It was another ring. It looked so much better than the wedding ring,but I didn’t say that. I just stood there,amazed,like always.
“You like it?”he asked.
“I love it.”
“I knew you would.” He kissed me. “God you’re so beautiful.”
“Thank you so much.”
“No problem baby.”
I was glad to see that nothing had gone wrong. But I was still worried though.
“Are you ok?”
I nodded. “I’m fine.”
He hugged me and kissed me again. “Everything’s going to be fine. I promise.”
I just hope that what he said was true. I would hate to have something bad happen now. Especially since he was only going to be here for three weeks. I only hoped that those three weeks would go by slow. I didn’t want to see him leave me again,even though I knew he would have to.
“Are you mad at me?”he asked.
I shook my head and said nothing. I didn’t want to tell him that I didn’t want him to leave me. It would probably break his heart. I hated to lie to him though.
He then took both of my hands and looked my straight in the eye. “Come on Nikki. I know you. You’re mad when you don’t speak. Please tell me what’s wrong. I won’t get mad at you. I promise I won’t.”
I knew that was it. So I just told him the whole story.
“Shhh…it’s ok,”he said as I sobbed on his shirt after telling him the whole truth. “I’m just glad you told me what was wrong.
“So…you aren’t mad at me?”
“How could I be? I love you remember?”
“Right.”
“I could never get mad at you.”
“I just don’t want to take something away from you.”
“I know. But I could have something arranged. Three weeks isn’t a very long time anyways. And I hate being away from you too. I’ll try to see if I can at least four more months. Does that sound ok?”
“That would be great.”
He started to dry my tears. “I’m doing this because I love you. I want to spend more time with you too. Do you feel better now?”
“Much better.”
“Good.” He kissed me again. “I never want anything to come between us. You know that.”
I nodded and said nothing.
“I just wish it wasn’t this hard on us. But I’m going to tell you this over and over when this stuff happens: I am not going to let this marriage fail. Got that?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Now let’s go far a walk. I think that would be good for the both of us. What do you think?”
“I think it would be great.”
He kissed me again. “I’m glad to see you smile. You can always tell me anything. That’s what I’m here for.”

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 11
I was so glad that Orlando wouldn’t be going back to Mexico until December. I know that he had said four months at first(which meant he could only stay until November),but he thought that was too short,and really wanted to spend Christmas with me. So he decided that he wasn’t going to go back until January. Which I thought was great. The more time we spent together,the better.
I was still glad that we were going to make this marriage last. I was also glad that Orlando wasn’t trying to put me in the spot light. He knew that I wasn’t ready. That’s the
other reason I loved living in Japan. There was barely any paparazzi to deal with. So we could live happy and peaceful.
There was still one thing that bothered me though. And that was Beth’s suggestion of forming a band again. I just didn’t want do it anymore. But I didn’t know what was going to happen if I said no. Would she kill me again? I didn’t even want to think about was going
happen. But she promised she was never going to kill me again. I just hoped that she was going to keep it like that. I just didn’t have the nerve to sing anymore. My life was with Orlando now,and soon,her’s would be with Josh. Didn’t she get that? I hope she did.
That weekend Beth called me again. She asked me if I wanted to be in the band. And I told her no.
“But why not?”she asked.
“Because…I just can’t.”
She sighed. “Oh alright.”
“Look I’m sorry. But when you and Josh are married you’ll realize how important he is to and not the band.”
“Like you when found Orlando?!”
“At least he loves me!”
But I guess she didn’t want to listen to me because she hung up on me. I wanted to call her back and tell her that she was all over herself on this and she knew I was right. But I just sat there and did nothing.
I was glad to see Orlando come down the stairs though. He knew that something was wrong right when he came down the stairs.
“You ok?”he asked.
“No. I’m not.”
“What’s wrong?”he asked as he hugged me.
“It’s about Beth…”
“Tell me what’s wrong.”
“She’s mad at me because I won’t be in her band. I think she wants to kill me.”
“But she made a promise to you remember?”
“I know. But promises can be broken.”
He sighed. “I know.”
“I’m worried about our safety now. What if something does happen?”
“Nothing is going to happen to you. Or me. I promise.”
I smiled. At least there was someone here who I can trust. “Thanks.”
He kissed me. “You know I don’t want anything to happen to you. But can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Why do you think she really wants to kill you?”
I thought for a minute. Then I knew the answer. “Because I was in love with you when the band started. She didn’t want me to fall in love. And that’s what triggered the whole thing.”
“That’s right.”
“But why would that be the reason?”
“Because she’s still jealous of you.”
“But she has Josh.”
“I know. But that’s not going to make any difference.”
“How do you know?”
“I’m just guessing.”
“Oh.”
“But you know I’ll protect you. I’m going to be my your side now.”
Yeah,only until after Christmas though,I thought. Then what will happen after that? Will someone try to kill me again.”
“I just don’t wanna think about it.”
“Then let’s not. I know something that will get that off your mind.”
“What?”
“A little shopping and a nice walk.”
I laughed. “You know too well.”
“That’s only because I know you.”
“Well,let’s go then. I don’t wanna waste a minute.”
“Neither do I,”he kissed me again. “Especially now that I’m with you.”
“Thanks.”
“And you know I’m only doing because—“
“You love me. I know.”
“I think you know me way too well.”
“How could I not?”
“You got that right. Well,you ready to go?”
“Any time you are.”
“That would be now then.”
“Alright then. Let’s go,”and we headed out the door.

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 12
Two weeks since I talked to Beth and nothing has happened,I thought. What a relief. But I knew I couldn’t let my guard down. Something could still happen. I just wanted to know when it was going to happen. But right now I couldn’t worry about that. I was with Orlando. He promised that he was going to protect me as long as he could. But I just hope that meant he wasn’t going to try to get himself killed when someone was trying to kill me. That was my job and he knew it. Even though he was going to hate me even if I thought about that.
I was smart that I didn’t say anything to Orlando. I didn’t want him to think I was trying to get myself killed for the fun of it(even thought I think he already knew that.). He
didn’t want me to die on him. Not now at least. I guess he was right. We’ve been through so much for the past 10 months he doesn’t want me dying until the right time. But what if something does happen to me? Will he marry someone else and forget about me? No. That would never happen. I had to stop thinking about this and try to get on with my life.
That morning Orlando got a call. The director from Troy wanted him back on the set as soon as possible. I didn’t know that to say. He told me that he wasn’t going back until at least after Christmas. Was there something that he didn’t tell me? That the hell was going on?
“Nikki…?”he asked as he came into the living room.
“Yes?”
“I need to talk to you.”
“What is it?”
“I need to go back to Mexico…”
“What?”
“I’m sorry. I just got a call from my director this morning. He wants me back on the set in two days.”
“But you said you weren’t going back until after Christmas.”
He sighed. “I know. But I really need to go.”
“How long will you be gone?”
“Only about a couple of days.”
“Oh.”
“Are you going to be alright.”
I didn’t want to tell him the truth. I just didn’t want anything to happen. But instead of saying no I said yes.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I’ll be fine.”
“Ok,”he kissed me. “I’m so sorry to have to leave you like this.”
“It’s ok.”
He gave me that stern look again. “No it’s not. I don’t want to leave you. I made a promise.”
“But if you don’t go back,they’ll fire you.”
He sighed. “But you’re more important to me than my job.”
I was shocked that he had said this. I mean literally shocked. I didn’t want him to give up his dream and he knew it. “No,you can go. I don’t care. I don’t want you to give up your dream.”
“But I don’t want you to get hurt. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
“I’ll be fine. I promise.”
“Then I’m going to stay around for a couple of days. That won’t hurt anyone.”
“Are you sure?”
He nodded. “Yes I’m sure baby. I just don’t want you getting hurt again and you know that.”
“But you also know that I would hate it if you gave up your dream.”
“I know. But I love you. And that’s what important.”
“Thank you so much.”
“No problem baby.”
Those next couple of weeks were pretty boring. Well,not all of them. Some days we went out and did a bit of shopping,but now much. There really wasn’t much to do anyways. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been living in the same place for a little over 10 months. Trust me,after I moved to LA(after walking around the whole city for a couple of weeks),I started to know the whole place by heart. I guess that’s the reason it was so easy to find Orlando when he was there. But that was really just pure luck(or just a coincidence). But I didn’t care,because now we were finally together.
I knew things weren’t going to be easy after Christmas. I was going to hate having to go through all this again. And I knew how badly Orlando was going to want me to come down there with him. I was still thinking about it though. I mean,December was still a long ways away. So I knew I didn’t want to worry about it right at the moment.
That morning Orlando had gone to get some groceries. I decided that I was just too tired to go anywhere,so I stayed home.
“Are you sure you’re going to be alright?”he asked.
I nodded. “I’ll be fine.”
“Alright. Just making sure.”
“I know.”
“I’ll be back in a little bit then ok?”
“Ok.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too.”
I then watched as he got into the SUV,backed out of the garage,and left me. I knew that nothing was going to go wrong. Or at least I thought that at the time. I just seemed so simple though. Since nothing had happened to me for those couple of weeks.
But as soon as I went into the living room to sit down I knew something was wrong. I just didn’t know what. I guess I had a reason to be paranoid. I mean,after all,Beth did sound like she wanted to kill me,at least I thought so. But I didn’t want to think about it.
As I went into the kitchen,I didn’t sense anything. But I had no idea that the floor was wet,and I slipped. After I slipped I heard my leg and something else make a crunching noise. I couldn’t move. It was a good thing Orlando had gotten home in time though.
“NIKKI?!”he said as he ran into the kitchen. “Oh my god. Are you ok?”
I looked at him and tried to smile. “I’m fine. I just slipped on something.”
“I can see that. God we have to get you to the hospital.”
But by the time he has said that I was already fast alseep…again.
That night I found myself at the hospital again,with Orlando by my side as I opened my eyes.
“Hey,”he said as I started to open my eyes. “You’re finally up. Did you have a good nap?”
“I tried.”
“I can understand that.”
“What happened this time? I can’t remember a thing. I’ve been asleep for so long.”
“You just broke your leg and your arm after slipping on a wet floor.”
“Oh. Right.”
“Are you feeling any better?”
“A little.”
“That’s good.”
“I’m so sorry.”
“About what?”
“About all this. But hey,at least it’s me and not you.”
“Don’t say that. People do care about you,you know.”
“Yeah.”
“Well,would you like to know how long you’re going to be staying here?”
I shrugged. “Yeah I guess so.”
“Only for a week.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yep. The surgery went well,so you only have to stay for a week.”
“Well,that’s good.”
“Yeah.”
I wanted to go back to sleep,but I just couldn’t. It was just too hard. Plus I wanted Orlando to go back home to get some sleep,but I knew that wasn’t going to happen any time
soon. He loved me too much not to leave me side,and I knew that. I just hated having him do this all the time,and he knew that.
“Well,I had better go home,”he said.
“Ok.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow morning baby.”
I smiled. “Alright.”
He kissed me. “I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“Bye,”he walked out of the room and shut the door.
The next few days went by pretty fast. Especially since there was nothing to do. Orlando made me try to get up a couple of times,but I would always stumble and he would
have to catch me before I hit the ground. I didn’t want to do that. But he was here for moral support and I appreciated that. He really did want to help me.
I was really glad that he was actually getting some decent sleep. I knew that this was hard for him. And he knew that. But while he was helping me,I wanted to help him. And all I wanted was for him to get a little sleep. It wasn’t too hard to ask.
He was right about one thing: people really did care about me. After my third day of staying at the hospital,I started to get “get well cards” from some people I knew,and from some people I didn’t even know. I knew Orlando had set this up,but I was glad he did. I loved him.
“Hey,”he said one day as he came in with cards and bouquets of flowers for me.
“Oh my god…”
“And it’s all for you.”
“Who are they from?”
“Different people.”
I smiled. “Alright. You set this up didn’t you?”
He put down the stuff and kissed me. “Only because I love you.”
“I love you so much,”I said as we embraced each other.
“I love you too baby.”
“God. Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome.”
“How did you do this?
“I’m not going to tell you that.”
“Why not?”
“Let’s just say it’s my little secret.”
“I thought we weren’t keeping secrets anymore.”
“Just one for the record.”
“Alright. But only this once.”
“You got it.”
“Good.”
“You feeling better?”
“I guess so.”
“You wanna to try to stand?”
“No. I need more time.”
“I understand.”
“Thank you so much.”
“It’s the least I could do for my beautiful wife.”
“No. It’s the most you could do.”
“Awwwwww…”he bent down and kissed me again. “You’re best wife anyone could ever ask for.”
“And you are simply the best husband anyone could ask me.”
“Ok. Now you’re just simply being too nice.”
“No. I’m telling the truth.”
“I know. So am I.”
“I’m glad too.”
He bent down and kissed me again. “God you’re so beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re very much welcome.”

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 13
Well,staying at the hospital wasn’t so bad after all. Well,maybe a little I guess. But hey,at least I only had to stay there for a week. And I was so glad when I got home. But I still couldn’t do anything for two days because my leg and arm weren’t completely healed yet. But that was fine with me. The only thing I wanted was Orlando to be by side. And that’s what I got.
“Well,here we are,”Orlando said as we arrived back at the house.
“God I’m so glad we’re back.”
“Yeah me too.”
“This is really going to suck though.”
“What?”
“That I can’t do anything for the next two days.”
“I know how you feel. But hey,at least I’m gonna be here.”
“You got that right.”
“And you had better not move that leg an inch,”he said,jokingly.
“You know I won’t.”
“Good,”he said as he kissed me. “But you know I like to much sure.”
“How could I forget?”
“I don’t know.”
We laughed and embraced each other. I was just so glad that he was back. I knew it was going to be hard to see him leave again,but I didn’t need to worry about that for a while. At least he was here. That was all that mattered to me.
“You feeling better?”
“Yeah. I think I can walk.”
He then gave me a stern look. I knew I shouldn’t have said anything,but hey,I had to joke around once a in while!
“I was just kidding!”
He laughed and kissed me. “Yeah I know. But I almost thought you were being serious there at first.”
“Well,you know me.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“So,what do you want to do?”
“Nothing.”
“Huh?”
“I just want to stare at your beautiful face all day.”
“Oh come on!”
“You know I mean it.”
“Then stare all you want.”
“Ha ha. Very funny.”
“Oh. I thought you really meant it.”
He then started to stare at me. Now I knew he wasn’t kidding.
“God you are so funny.”
“So are you love.”
“I’m so happy to be with you.”
“I’m so happy to be with you.”
“Thank you so much.”
“No problem baby.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why do you love me so damn much?”
He smiled and kissed me. “Because I love you and you’re my wife.”
“That’s right.”
“And nothing is ever going to change that.”
“At least I hope not.”
“No. Nothing ever will.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“I made a promise. To never hurt you. And I can’t.”
“I know. And you haven’t.”
“And that’s why I care about you so damn much.”
“I’m so glad.”
“So am I baby.” He bent down and kissed me. “God you’re so beautiful.”
“You’re so handsome.”
“Why thank you. Couldn’t have said it better myself.”
We both laughed at that. “I knew you were going to say that.”
“I kind of figured you were going to know I was going to say that.”
After looking back on these past few months,I was beginning to realize how much my life had changed since Orlando and I had gotten married. I mean,we were just a regular married couple who did regular stuff. Sure we had fights,but we would soon forget about
them and go one with our lives. We loved each other too much that we really didn’t want to divorce. And I was glad too. I probably wouldn’t be able to go on if he divorced me.
The only thing that really scared me was when I had almost gotten my leg blown off in August. I almost thought I was going to be gone for sure. I was just glad that Orlando had got to me in time and had not left me there. Or I would have been dead for sure. Then he got hurt. I knew he was glad that I had stayed by side. And I was glad too.I still wish that would have been me and not him. But I guess I can’t them about that anymore. Especially since I just broke my leg.
I couldn’t wait to get out after my leg had healed,but Orlando wouldn’t let me.
“You need to rest for one extra day,just in case,”he said.
I didn’t feel like arguing with him at the time,so I just nodded and said ok. Besides,I guess it wouldn’t kill me just to stay in another day. As long as Orlando was with me,I didn’t really matter.
“You feeling better?”
“A lot.”
“That’s good.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Were you mad at me when I left Mexico? And please,tell me the truth.”
“I guess I was for a little bit.”
“Really?”
“But then I realized what you were going through,and then I started to understand. I just wished that you had told me earlier.”
“I know. I’m sorry.”
“I know. Now let’s put this all behind us ok?”
“Alright.”
He leaned over and kissed me. But I felt so tired that I just put my head on his should and fell asleep. Even though I could feel him kissing my forehead after I had shut my eyes.
When I woke up again it was late afternoon. It was so quiet,which started to worry me. I just glad that Orlando had left a note to tell me where he had gone. At least he was going to be back in a short while. But he told me that I couldn’t get out of bed.
Well,that was just fine with me. As long as I knew where he was going to be,I didn’t really care. Now the only thing I had to worry about was my leg. It had started to pour down rain that afternoon,and my leg was starting to act up. I just hoped that Orlando was going to be home soon.
“I’m back,”said Orlando as he ran up the stairs. “You ok?”
“My leg hurts.”
“Hang on. I’ll be right back.”
In about a second,he was back with my medicine. I was glad too,because once I took it the pain finally stopped.
“Feeling better?”he asked.
“Much better.”
“Good. God you had me worried there.”
“Oh you knew nothing was going to happen.”
“You never know.”
“You’ve got a point.”
He bent over and kissed me. I knew something was wrong by the look on his face.
“I know that face. What’s wrong?”
He sighed. “I need to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“I’m sorry to say this,but I really need to go back to work for another couple of weeks.”
“But I--.” He put his finger on my lips.
“Listen,I know I wasn’t supposed to go back until after December,but maybe if I go back now,I can get this down faster. Especially since I only have a more shoots to do. Is that ok?”
I didn’t know what to say to tell you the truth. I was so mad because Orlando had made a promise that he wouldn’t leave me until after December,but I guess this kind of had to make sense.
“Fine,”I said.
“What?”
“I guess it would make sense.”
“So you aren’t mad at me?”
“Do you want me to tell you the truth?”
“You know I always do.”
“Ok. Maybe just a little.”
“Yeah,but this way we can still spend Christmas together,and I’ll be home longer before I have to go back to work.”
“Oh. Ok. When are you leaving?”
“In a week.”
“That’s not a long time.”
He sighed. “I know. But I promise to make it up to you ok? You had better not forget that I do love you.”
“How could I?”I asked. But I didn’t smile. I just didn’t find a reason to smile.
“Hey. Don’t do that. I can’t see you like this. I need to see you smile more.”
But didn’t he know that it was kind of hard for me to smile when he had kind of made a promise to me?
“I know this isn’t going to be easy,but you know it’s going to get better.”
“Ok.”
He gave me a stern look. “Come me. Please smile for me baby.”
I decided that I was finally going to perk up,and I started to smile.
“That’s my baby. Please don’t be mad at me. You know how things are these days. Nothing is going to be easy.”
I sighed. “Yeah I know.”
“Just bear with me ok?”
“I’ll try.”
“No.”
“Ok. I will.”
“That’s better. You know I’ll always call you and leave you letters. Even thought I know it isn’t the same as me being here.”
“Yeah.”
“You ok now?”
“I’m trying to be…”
“Don’t do this to me.”
“Do what? I’m not going to do anything.”
“I thought you were going to say something…oh I don’t know…that might break us apart.”
“You mean like me getting a divorce?”
“Well,kind of,yeah.”
“I would never do that! I could never do that to you. I love you too much.”
“Good. Because by the way you sounded I thought that’s what you were going to say.”
“We might get into fights,but you know I always love you.”
“I love you too. But you still aren’t going with me are you?”
“Do I have to?”
“No.”
“Then I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. I understand.”
“Thank you.”
“Let’s just get over this. We still have a week before I leave ok? And it looks like you’ll be able to walk by tomorrow.”
“Good.”
“Yeah,that’s what I said.”
“I’m still sorry though.”
“About what?”
“About that I don’t want to come down to Mexico with you.”
“Don’t worry. Just remember what I said ok?”
I nodded. “Alright.”
“But until next week,let’s get off this subject,because I’m not leaving your side until I have to leave.”
“Ok.”

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 14
I tired to have as much fun with Orlando as I possibly could before he left. It was really hard though. I tried to think of the good things,but sometimes it was just so hard that I felt like I just wanted to break down and cry. I just felt like he was still breaking that promise to me. And I didn’t want to see him go.
After breaking my leg,I didn’t really thing that anything was going to happen to me for a while. And to tell you the truth,I didn’t want anything to happen to me. Because if
anything did happen to me,Orlando would still have to leave me. Well,maybe until I got better. But sometimes that wasn’t always the case.
One afternoon,Orlando and I decided that we would go for a walk in the park for a while until we thought of somewhere to go to for lunch. We didn’t think anything was going
to happen. It seemed like such a peaceful day that there was really nothing to worry about. Well,at least that’s that we though at the time. I just wish we had been wrong.
“Is something wrong?”Orlando asked as I stopped suddenely.
I just wanted to make sure that no one was following us. But I didn’t see anyone or anything at the moment,so I said that everything was fine and we then started walking again. I just wished that I had seen in the person in the bush. Because after I said something everything was fine,someone opened fire,and hit me straight in the back.
“OH MY GOD!”Orlando yelled. He then went after the person to try to stop them from getting away. He was helped by some police men,but I couldn’t tell. “Nikki…are you ok?” he asked as he came back.
“Orlando…?”
“Shhhh…It’s going to be alright. I promise.”he said as he cuddled me in his arms.
“Where….where did he hit me?”
Orlando turned me over for a second,”Right in the back.”
I then let out a soft moan. The pain was getting worse by the moment. It was even worse as when I had almost gotten my leg shot off.
“Nikki,it’s going to be alright…Please don’t leave me…”he said,as he started to cry softly. But I couldn’t tell. I was already fast asleep,hoping that these weren’t going to be my very last breaths.
Then next morning I saw Orlando by my side. I was still alive! I had made it through once again.
“Orlando…?”I asked as I started to wake up.
“My sleeping beauty has finally awaken. God I was so worried about you.”
“My god. You look terrible.”
He sighed. “I know. But at least you’re alive.”
“Yeah. Did we get the ‘person?’”
“Yeah. The police men got him.”
I knew something was wrong. That tone of voice always told me that something was wrong. “Well,what’s wrong?”
He shook his head. “Nothing.”
I gave him a look. “I thought we weren’t keeping secrets.”
“You do have a point.”
“Please tell me what’s wrong. I know what that tone means. Please tell me.”
“I’m still going to have to leave you.”
“Oh.”
“I can only stay a day after you get out of the hospital.”
“I understand.”
“I feel so bad though. I really need to stay here with you. But I need to finish this.”
“Why did this have to happen?”
He leaned over and kissed me. “It’s going to be alright. I promise you.”
“I’m sorry.”
“About what?”
“About this happening.”
“Don’t say that. It’s not your fault.”
“I just thought I was being smart. If I had looked in the one bush I would have seen it,and this would have never happened.”
“No. You did what you could. Just be happy that you’re alive and we’ll forget about this.”
“I’m sorry. It’s just not easy.”
He sighed. “Yeah. I know. I still wish I didn’t have to leave you.”
Then why don’t you tell the director you don’t want to,I thought. Especially if you want to stay with me so badly!
He gave me a look. “What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean?”
I know that look. Something’s up. Please tell me.”
“It’s nothing. I promise. I was just thinking about something.”
“About what?”
“About you leaving me.”
“I see.”
“It wasn’t anything bad! I promise.”
He laughed and kissed me. “I know. I was just messing with you.”
“Oh.”
“I just wished that I could read your thoughts.”
“Oh no you don’t.”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t want to read my thoughts. Some are just plan bad.”
“I can understand that.”
“When can I go home?”
He laughed. “You really wanted to get off that subject fast.”
“Sorry.”
“No it’s ok. I’m kind of glad you did.”
“That’s good. I thought you were kind of being serious there.”
“About what?”
“About you reading my mind.”
“No. Not really. I just wanted to hear what you thought of it.”
“Well,now you know.”
“It sucked didn’t it?”
Well…not exactly.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Nevermind.”
He gave me another look. “Come on! Tell me!”
“Ok. I just thought you could have thought of something better than that.”
“You could have just told me that it sucked.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because I’m not mean.”
“You got a point there” He hugged me and we embraced. “How did I get stuck with such a beautiful woman like you?
“I don’t know.”
“Oh I think I do.”
“How?”
“Because you got stuck with me:the handsome one.”
“Now I don’t know about that…”
“What do you mean?!”
I laughed. “God I was just kidding.”
“I know. So was I.”
“God I can’t wait to get home tomorrow. I want to get out of here so badly.”
“I know. I just wish I could spend some more time with you. You probably don’t think it,but I really hate it when I have to work.”
Actually,I couldn’t believe it. “Oh.”
“Ever since I met you,I never really wanted to go back.”
“But I can’t stop you. I won’t.”
“I thank you for that. But you know one day I’ll have to.”
“I bet you won’t be too happy about that.”
“Oh I wouldn’t say that. I’ve still got you,right?”
“Yeah.”
“So I think I would be kind of happy.”
“Man,knowing you,I thought you loved going to work.”
“I’m guessing why that’s the reason you don’t want me to leave.”
“How did you know?”
“Because I could see it your eyes. Come one now. You know I’m not that stupid.”
“I NEVER SAID YOU WERE!”
“I know. I just thought you felt that way.”
I gave him my stern look. “You know I would never think or say that about you. But what you said was right. I don’t want you to leave.”
“I wish it was that simple.”
“We both wish it was. Well,at least that’s what I think.”
“But you had better never forget that I love you.”
“You know I won’t.”
“But hey,at least you know it’ll only be for a couple of days.”
“But what if something happens? Like what if you break your leg again?!” I was starting to freak out again. I then started to cry.
“Shh…shh…it’s going to be alright baby. Nothing is going to happen this time. I promise to be smarter than the last time. That was just a careless mistake. People make mistakes all the time baby. But we always have to learn from them.”
“I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t freak out about this.”
“It’s alright. I know how you feel.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem baby.”
“Just promise me one thing.”
“What is that?”
I smiled. “Just come back alive alright.”
He smiled. “You know I can do that.”
“Thank you.”
“No problem baby.” He kissed me again,and then embraced me. I knew in my heart he would keep his promise.

Re: A Love for a life time ~PG-13~
Chapter 15
Pretty soon I was out of the hospital,and back in my own bed back at home. Orlando made me promise that I wouldn’t go outside for a couple of days. Just to make sure that I
would be alright. Plus I couldn’t get out of bed for an extra day. Which was ok with me. My back was still hurting me anyways. I needed a lot of comfort right now anyways.
I tried to tell myself that Orlando was going to be ok. But the more I thought about it,the more I started to think that I knew something was going to happen. It was just so hard not to think about it. But he kept telling me that everything was going to said and done in a few weeks,and then we could get on with our lives. But could we? I mean,what if something came up and I was put back in the hospital. Would he even come back to see how was I doing?
It was so hard not to think about these things. But I tried to get along with them the best way I could. At least he promised that he was going to call me and write me letters. And right now,I needed to be happy. Because he was trying to make me happy until he left. And that was the best thing he could do for me. So I really needed to stop worrying
about what was going to happen for the next few weeks and just be happy with Orlando. Besides,how bad were things going to get anyways?
“Well,I’m all ready,”he said.
“But you don’t have to leave yet.”
“I know. But I need to get ready for tomorrow.”
I sighed. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”
He came back over to the bed and kissed me. “It’s alright.”
“No it’s not.”
“Listen,I promised you everything was going to be fine right?”
I nodded.
“Then everything’s going to be fine.”
I didn’t really want to listen to him at the time. I just nodded and said ok. I only did it because I didn’t want to argue with him. This just wasn’t the time. He was trying to keep
me happy,so the best thing I could do was to be happy back. He promised me that he was going to come back,so I couldn’t say anything to that.
“Well,I guess I’m all ready,”he said as he stuffed the last thing into his suitcase. “I’m really sorry about this.”
“It’s ok.”
He sighed and kissed me. “No it’s not. But I promise that I’ll come back alright?”
I nodded.
“I love you,”he kissed me. It didn’t take long for him to leave,but I didn’t watch him. I just didn’t want to. For me it was just too sad. But then five minutes later,the phone started to ring.
“Hey,”it was Orlando.
“Hi.”
“Are you ok? And please be honest.”
“A little.”
“No you’re not. I can tell because you didn’t look out the window when I left. Trust me baby,I know these things. Please tell me what’s wrong.”
“I don’t want you to leave ok! I never wanted you to leave in the first place! But I didn’t want to say anything because you kept say that everything was going to be alright. I… I guess I’m just scared.” I started to cry.
“I’ll be right there ok?”
I couldn’t believe this! “Ok.”
I waited by the garage door until Orlando come in. He ran up and hugged me and started to kiss me.
“Why didn’t you just tell me?”he asked.
“Because I didn’t want to hurt you.”
“Oh baby. You could never do that.”
“But what about the movie?”
“What about it?”
“I thought you were going back to Mexico.”
“Well,on my way to the airport I got a call from my agent,and they said that they don’t need me anymore.”
“Are you sure? Because if it isn’t--.”
He put his finger on my lips. “Yes baby. It is.” He then bent down and our lips met. “It was never your fault to begin with.”
“That’s good. You had me worried there.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“You know I could never be mad at you. I love you too much.”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For being with me through all these times.”
“It’s the least I could do.”
“No. I think it’s the most you could do.”
“I only want to be there for you.”
But the was thing we didn’t know. But just a few blocks away(or maybe next door,we couldn’t tell.)there was a person with a gun. The bullet shoot through the glass,and came right at me.
“NIKKI! My god…”
Luckly I was only hit in the leg,and it wasn’t too serious. “It’s ok. I’m alright.”
“No. Stay down. They’ll be here soon.”
I then let out a little groan. The pain was starting to take it’s toll on me.
“Shhhhh…it’s going to be alright. I promise.”
“I’m…I’m glad that you never left. And I’m so sorry that this had to happen.”
“No…No,you can’t die on me.”
But I couldn’t hear. I had already fallen into a sleep,afriad that I would never awake from it.
