College Life

"Hey Amy.." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. "What's up?"

"I got your flowers, I wanted to say thank you, they are stunning,"I said softly, looking over at the roses.

I blushed and smiled to myself. "You're welcome." I answered, clutching my chest.

"I would like to see you.. And talk. I have a doctor's appointment at the hospital on Thursday... Would you like to have lunch?" I was quiet, almost nervous.

I literally felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. "Uh.. Sure!" I took a deep calming breath. "What time?"

"One o'clock? My doctor's appointment is at two,"I said, hearing the way her voice change made me smile.

"Okay.. Where do you want me to meet you?" I asked, grabbing a pen and paper.

"I.. Don't know. I don't know the city,"I said softly, shaking my head,"You choose?"

"There's Swensons. It's a really good burger joint." I said. I remember when we ate there together.. It was so fun.

"Okay. I'll meet you there then,"I said, feeling myself smile.

I smiled. "Okay.. So.. I'll see you Thursday then.." I said softly. I didn't want to hang up, but I knew we had to eventually. "Bye.."

"Goodbye,"I said softly. When Thursday came around I drove to the city, leaving the house around seven in the morning. I parked at Swensons, sitting out front.

I was so nervous that I was trembling. I was wearing a nice pair of jeans with a v neck shirt, my hair down in their natural curls, with some makeup on. I parked and I saw her sitting in the front. I checked myself in the mirror quickly before getting out and walking over to her. "Hey." I greeted.

"Hi,"I said, waving back at her, rising from my seat at the table. She looked pretty,"You look pretty."

I smiled, my heartbeat quickening. "Thanks. So do you." I replied. We got a booth inside and I ordered a coke. Then I wondered what she wanted to talk about..

"Thank you, again, for the flowers,"I said as I sipped from my water, sitting back.

I crossed my legs and smiled. "You're welcome." I answered. I was so nervous. I hid my shaking hands underneath the table.

"So, I never imagined I would be dating a woman, but we looked happy... Were we happy?"I asked, looking over at her.

I looked down uncomfortably. "Yes, for the most part. I was, at least. I think you were a bit... Uncomfortable, with the amount of money I have.."

"Do you have a lot of it?"I asked, raising an eyebrow. Her parents seemed well off.

"Yeah.." I answered, looking down. The waitress came back and I ordered a small burger with some wedge fries.

I ordered the same and nodded,"Were we serious?"

"Yes." I answered softly. "We talked about getting a house away from the city after I got out of school, but close enough so I can still audition for stuff.. And you talked about wanting to have a child someday.."

I nodded slowly,"We were very serious,"I said with a small smile, nodding.

I smiled. "Yeah.. We were." When the food came, I took a small bite of a fry. At least she's not screaming at me..

"So, do you not want me now?"I asked after a few moments of silence.

I looked up, very surprised at her question. "Of course I do." I answered. "I'll always want you, Amy."

I nodded slowly,"This isn't easy for me either.."

"I know." I said, taking a bite of my burger. It must be hard for her, not being able to remember anything..

"I never imagined I would date a woman,"I said softly,"I mean, I'm open to it, but I never thought it would happen.."
