Dreams Don’t Always Come True
Chapter one
“The Coldest New Year’s Eve”
Lisa had never been a fan of holidays, not since she was a very little girl, and especially since she had become an officer after Karl’s death.
But she felt particularly lonely this year, this New Year’s Eve. So she left her house with a small bag under her arm, covered in her coat and with a scarf around her neck that covered almost half of her face. It was the coldest New Year’s Eve that she could remember.
She opened the door of her new car, a gift that she had given herself after Christmas. She sat in front of the wheel and took a deep breath; somehow it was hard for her to breathe. Finally she turned on the engine and despite the cold that was outside she opened the window and let her hair float with the wind as she drove her car onto the empty highway.
“Probably everyone is celebrating New Year’s Eve with their loved ones,” said Lisa to herself and she could feel how her heart shrank. She turned the car radio on, trying to make this sad feeling disappear.
But only a few songs were played until one brought sad memories to her head. Memories that hurt her, that made breathing hard to her, that caused her pain, a deep pain like she had never felt before, not even when Karl had died. Memories of something that had happen on this same date, but one year ago.
She tried to not think about it, to not cry, but she just couldn’t help it and when she looked back by her car mirror and saw the fire craft that announced the arrival of the New Year, the sad feeling overwhelmed her. Lisa slowed the speed of her car until she finally pulled over. She needed to stop the car and breath, but she also want to see the fire craft. She wanted to say goodbye to the old year, to all that that year represents. But the song just made her remember what had happen a year ago over and over again, and she just couldn’t take it anymore.
I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's like I'm lifted out of time

And time again
Patientiy I've waited
For this moment to arrive

After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade

I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all I'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of time

Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes

After tonight
(After tonight)
Will you remember
(Will you remember)
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
(After you go)
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day

Time
And time and time again
(Time and time again)
So patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive

After tonight
(After tonight)
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Baby will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
After tonight begins
(Begins)
To fade

After all
After all
After all
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
After tonight
Begins to fade
(After tonight)
Begins to
Fade

As she watched the sky she also could feel how her tears froze with the cold wind that was running, but it didn’t matter, nothing truly mattered to her anymore.

*******************Flashback************************************
Lisa was seated in front of her bedroom mirror; she was dressed in a haute couture dress that the girls and Claudia had made her buy for the RDF New Years Eve party. She would be the hostess of the event with Admiral Gloval, who had asked her in person to go with him to the party.
But she wasn’t thinking about that, she was thinking about Rick, like she usually did. She had met him the day before in the downtown when she was with Claudia shopping, and he had asked her with who she would go to the party. She answered him that she would go with Admiral Gloval and Rick had made her promise that she would save a dance for him. She just couldn’t get those words out of her head; he wanted to dance with her, despite the fact that Minmei would be at the party too, as a guest of honor. Even with that, he had made her promise that she would save a dance for him, and that made her feel butterflies in her stomach. Maybe, just maybe he felt the same that she felt for him; just maybe he didn’t see her like his best friend anymore. Maybe he felt more than friendship for her.
The doorbell took her out of her thoughts and she walked to the main door. There was the Admiral in his full dress, looking handsome, he had told her that she looked gorgeous and then he offered her his arm, and they walked to the limo that would take them to the party.
When Lisa arrived at the party she could feel that all the eyes were looking at her and she immediately started to flush, but the gentle touch of Admiral Gloval on her hand made her feel secure again. According to Sammie all the male officers were drooling for her, but Lisa didn’t even notice, she only had eyes for one officer but he was at the other end of the room and there were just too many important people around Lisa, so she couldn’t move.
Lisa and Admiral Gloval opened the dance with a waltz. After they danced the first song, the rest of the officers joined them. Lisa was with the Admiral the entire evening, and after midnight and after hugs the Admiral excused himself and left the party, leaving Lisa as the official hostess of the party. She did the best she could; she walked to all the tables and talked with almost everyone. When she was by Rick’s table he wasn’t there and Max told her that he was talking in the phone, but he would come back soon. But then some high-ranking officer called Lisa and she just had to leave Rick’s table without seeing him. Even when she knew that her duty as hostesses was to stay until the end of the party, she was just to tired. A couple of hours after the Admiral left, she also excused herself and left the party in hands of the Trio, who she was sure would stay until the end of the party.
She left the room, and was waiting for her car to arrive when she saw Rick standing outside. Lisa came closer and gently touched him on the shoulder.
“What are you doing here?” asked Lisa with a soft voice.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” asked Rick with a smile when he saw her.
“I asked you first” answered Lisa smiling.
“Just waiting for a cab” said Rick with his hands in his pockets.
“I can take you home”
“Are you leaving?” asked Rick with surprised.
“Yes, it’s too late and I’m too tired” answered Lisa with a shy smile.
“We can share a cab,” said Rick after a few moments of silence.
“Don’t worry, the Admiral sent me a driver” said Lisa.
“Are sure that is no trouble to give me a ride?”
“Of course not, besides your house is close to mine,” said Lisa and they both started to walk to Lisa’s car.
When they stopped at Rick’s house, Lisa got out of the car to return Rick the jacket that he had loaned her because of the cold of the night.
“Why don’t you come in?” asked Rick when he had taken his jacket.
“It’s late,” said Lisa shyly.
“Come on, you owe me a dance, or you don’t you remember that?” asked Rick looking at her with a smile.
“I don’t..” said Lisa hesitantly.
“Come on, I can invite you for a coffee, you are shivering. Then I’ll walk you home,” said Rick with his magical smile that made Lisa smile too.
“Fine, fine” said Lisa without looking at him “but you better invite me to a good coffee” said Lisa smiling and starting to walk to Rick’s house while he set the driver free.
They entered Rick’s house and Lisa waited for Rick in the living room. A few moments later Rick appeared in the living room with a tray, but in the tray there wasn’t cups of coffee, instead there was a bottle of Champaign and two wineglasses
“What’s that?” asked Lisa with surprise.
“A surprise” said Rick and he left the tray on the table and opened the bottle.
“For what?” asked Lisa still surprised.
“The New Year has begun Lisa, don’t you think it’s a good occasion to celebrate?” asked Rick and he started to fill the wineglasses with Champaign.
“You are crazy,” said Lisa smiling as she took her wineglass.
“Maybe, what if we do a toast,” said Rick holding his wineglass high.
“Sure, a toast for the New Year” said Lisa with her wineglass high too.
“For a better year, that all of our whishes come true” said Rick with a smile and they touch the glasses and smiled.
They sat on the couch with their glasses in their hands and remained in silence for a while until Rick finally broke the ice.
“I haven’t told you, but you look incredibly gorgeous tonight” said Rick without looking at her.
“Thanks” said Lisa with a soft voice, as her cheeks turned red.
“Really, you were the most beautiful woman in the entire room” said Rick honestly and then he looked at her and he immediately noticed her red cheeks.
“Stop mocking of me,” said Lisa trying to hide her nervousness.
“I’m serious Lisa,” said Rick with a serious voice “you are very beautiful, but tonight you just look amazing” said Rick looking at her in the eyes, making her feel her heart beat faster. She bent her head down, so he don’t noticed how red she was and how her eyes were starting to fill with tears.
“You look very handsome too” said Lisa finally.
“Yeah, now you are mocking me,” said Rick with a relaxed voice.
“I’m not,” said Lisa fast and before he asked her anything else she asked quickly “So what did you think of the party?”
“I think it was great, it was very nice” answered Rick and he drank another sip from his glass.
“Yeah, it was very nice, despite the fact that Minmei didn’t show up,” said Lisa and she regretted her words the second they came out of her mouth.
Rick only looked at her and finished to drink what was in his glass.
“I don’t want to talk about her, not tonight,” he said with a serious voice “or work.”
“What do you want to talk about?” Lisa asked shrinking her shoulders.
“About us, we’ve known each other for so long and I still don’t know much about you” said Rick thoughtfully. “About you, I want to talk about you, about how you were when you were a kid, I want to hear all the nasty high school stories of you” said Rick with a smile, taking one of Lisa hands.
“Me?” asked Lisa almost with fear and the touch of his hand over her hand made her shiver from head to toe.
“Yes, come on Lisa, I’m always the one who talks, I want to be the one who listens this time”
“But there’s not much to tell”
“You’re lying” said Rick and he held Lisa’s hand tight “Please” he said with his baby blue eyes looking at her straight in the eyes and she just couldn’t refuse.
They talked about Lisa’s past for a long time until Lisa finally stood up from the couch.
“I have to go, it’s just too late and you have early shift tomorrow morning” said Lisa.
“Yes, I know,” said Rick with a sad voice and Lisa started to walk to the door.
When she was about to open the door, Rick took her by the wrist and made her turn in his direction. Lisa looked at him in the eyes, and there she saw something that she had never seen before in his eyes, he was looking at her with different eyes.
“I don’t want you to leave, I don’t want to be alone tonight” said Rick with a voice full of pain, of fear, with a voice that she had never heard from him before and that made her knees start to tremble. She felt how an electric shiver traveled across her spine and her heart started to beat faster. She just didn’t know how to answer him.
Rick started to come closer to her and when he was close enough to her, he looked at her in the eyes and she took some of his wild hair away, so she could look at him better in the eyes.
“I don’t want to be alone tonight, either” said Lisa in a whisper and without even noticing they started to kiss, a kiss full of passion, of need, of desire. And while they kissed their hands traveled wildly across each other’s bodies, taking their clothes off, clothes that started to fall across his apartment on the way to his bedroom.
Once they were there, he gently and tenderly took her dress off, and when the dress was on the floor he looked at her in the eyes, waiting for something to tell him stop. But nothing happened so he came closer to her and kissed her tenderly. They fell over his bed and took away the rest of their clothes and started to make love, with a mixture of tenderness and passion.
Lisa woke up first and left the bed where he was still asleep. She took his shirt and walked outside the bedroom and sat in the living room to think about what had happen. The feel of his eyes looking at her in that way, with tenderness, with passion it just felt so natural, so meant to be, and every time that he looked at her in that way she felt like her feet left the ground, that she was flying. How much time had she has waited for this to happen? How much time had she waited patiently for him, for him to feel the same way for her that she felt for him? But what will happen now? What would happen when he wakes up? Will he still feel the same way that he felt at night? Will he remember the way that he had reached for her? Questioned Lisa to herself, while the sun rose, and the night faded out. And with every sunlight that reached her face she felt fear fill her body. She was standing there in the living room waiting for him to wake up, with her heart in her hand, ready to give it to him when he woke up.
Rick appeared in the kitchen, with his uniform on, and smiled at Lisa. She offered him breakfast and he just nodded.
“Rick, sorry for having taken these clothes from you” said Lisa when she passed him a cup of coffee She now had a pair of sport pants of his on with his shirt.
“You don’t have to asked for anything Lisa, my house is your house,” said Rick smiling at her while she sat down in front of him.
After an awkward silence, Lisa completely flushed and with her head down started to talk.
“Rick I think that we need to talk…. About what happened last night” said Lisa and made a pause to clear her throat “Rick what happen last night….”
”You don’t have to say it Lisa, it was a mistake” interrupted Rick “ what happen last night was a mistake Lisa, and I know it. I know that we shouldn’t have and I want to apologize to you. I was so mad, so disappointed with Minmei. She had promised me that we would spend New Year’s Eve together and she called me to cancel in the middle of the night. I felt so lonely and I didn’t want to be alone on New Year’s Eve and you..”
“It’s ok Rick,” said Lisa with a fake smile “you don’t have to explain, we are adults, and what happen just happen, I just.. don’t want it to affect our friendship,” said Lisa with an empty voice.
“Me neither” answered Rick.
“Fine, then there’s no problem” said Lisa with fake good humor and smiled, and then she offered him some waffles.
Before he left for his shift he gave her a pair of his house keys and told her that she didn’t have to leave so soon, that she could stay and feel at home. When he left, Lisa went to his room and made the bed holding her tears, then she took her dress and put it in a bag, and left Rick’s home, feeling a huge knot in her throat. She just couldn’t stop hearing Rick’s words in her head. “What happen last night was a mistake Lisa,” he had said to her just when she was about to tell him that what had happen last night had been the most wonderful thing in her life. That for her it just hadn’t been an affair, it had been so much more.
“But he just doesn’t feel the same way,” said Lisa to herself when she was lying in her bed, with her bedroom curtains closed. She was lying in her bed crying, like she hadn’t cried in years. While she realize that for him what had happen last night had been just a mistake and for her it had been the best thing that ever happened in her life. She felt how her heart broke in thousands of pieces, how the world fell over her and the only thing that she could do was cry. All that she would ever be for Rick was a friend, the consolation prize, the person to run to when Minmei wasn’t available. The one that he would run to when he felt lonely, when he wanted to have sex with someone, and for her he was just so much more.
**********************************************************************

Lisa dried here tears, she wasn’t going to cry anymore, she would never cry for him again, never, she had already made up her mind and nothing would change it.
She hadn’t wanted to see the truth then or she had seen it but she had put a bandage in front of her eyes and made herself believe that things maybe would change, but now she saw the truth clearly. She would never be part of his life, he is and always had been in love with Minmei and there’s nothing that would change that, never ever. Minmei was the love of his life and she would always be his best friend, and she couldn’t take it any more. She would not be his consolation prize or his shoulder to cry on, it hurt her too much and she just couldn’t keep living feeling that pain, feeling her heart broken day after day. Letting him break her heart every day.
Now there was another song playing on the radio, and that song reminded her a talk that she had with Claudia days before.
Claudia had tried to encourage her to tell him how she felt for him. But the occasion never showed, and now will never show.

I’m scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak?
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh- what if
There’s another one he’s thinking of
Maybe he’s in love
I’d feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don’t know what to do

But she knew now what to do, she wouldn’t be blind anymore, she now accepted the truth as cruel as it was, but that was better than to live waiting for something that she knew would never happen, that was much more cruel.

I’ve been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can’t let the chance
To love him pass you by

Should I

Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Lisa gave a sad smile. She had so much love in her heart, waiting to give it to him, but he didn’t want her love, he wanted Minmei’s love. No matter what she did, or what she said, his feeling wouldn’t change. There was no point in telling him how much she love him, if he hadn’t been able to see how much she loved him, then telling him and waiting for his reaction would not make a difference.

Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
Your love can’t be denied
The truth will set you free
You’ll have what’s meant to be
Call in time you’ll see

But her love had been denied, and it seemed to be that all that was meant to be for her was loneliness, the cold and empty loneliness that had always been her best friend.

I love him
Of that much I can be sure
I don’t think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say

She loved him, more than anyone that she had ever loved. But now she would let him go away, she can’t keep holding the situation, with her heart waiting for something, for some sign. She would have to save all that love for him, hide it and never let it show. She would have to learn again to live with a frozen heart.

I’ll
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It’s a steady frame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Blind faith will lead love where it has to go

Passion that was all that they had ever shared, but that passion hadn’t meant the same for him. For her it had let her heart free, let herself break the armor that hid her feelings, and for him it had been a mistake, just an affair. But her blind faith to him, to think that maybe she would find love in him, had made her fall over and over again, but now she wouldn’t fall again. She would never let someone get close to her, because she had lost all the strength to stand up. If she fell only one more time then she would never get up, and she preferred to be alone, with a frozen heart, than with a broken one.

Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Never let him go.

She has let him go, and for good. She wasn’t the kind of person that surrenders in front of a battle, but this battle wasn’t meant for her to fight. So she would walk away from it, with as much as dignity that was left to her, if there was something.

She would leave Macross, for good or at least until her wounds heal, until she finally had the courage to see him leave with Minmei everyday, until she had the courage to see a wedding ring in his hands. But maybe that would never happen, and the only things that she regretted to leave behind were here friends.
She raised her eyes to the sky to watch the fire craft that announced the New Year extinguished.
A New Year, and she would leave all her pain behind her, she would start a new life, away from him, away from the dreams that would never come true.
She got into her car again and looked back to Macross for the last time, she was shivering from the cold and she just couldn’t help thinking that probably by now Rick would be holding Minmei watching the fire craft and that she was all alone freezing. And that was her destiny.

She shook her head; she would not be the bitter one anymore. She would leave there in Macross the sad Lisa, and now she would be a new person. The broken heart, the pain, the illusion, all that stayed there, and she would start a new life away from him and all the hurt that he had caused her.
She had spent the last few years of her life thinking of him; what he wanted, what she could do to make him love her. But not anymore, now she would think of herself, and try to heal all the wounds, try to put all the pieces of her heart together again, but she would never love again. Love was just too painful.

Sammie entered the house with her shoes in her hands, while the other girls let themselves fall onto the couch and take their shoes off.
“That was such an amazing party!!!” said Kim with a tired voice.
“Oh yeah, I have never danced so much” said Vanessa and she covered herself with a blanket that was near the couch “I think I’ll just fall asleep here”
“Hey girls what is this?” said Sammie looking at an envelope that was on the ground
“What’s what?” asked Kim from the couch
“This” said Sammie picking the envelope from the ground
“An envelope” said Vanessa as she was falling asleep on the couch
“Of course it’s an envelope, I’m not stupid, but who left it here?” asked Sammie
“No clue” said Kim and stood up “I’m starving” said Kim while she started to walk toward the kitchen
“Why don’t you open it?” said Vanessa as she cuddled on the couch and her eyes started to close
“Yeah open the envelope” said Kim from the kitchen
Sammie opened the envelope and she immediately recognized the handwriting, it was from Lisa. Sammie started to read the letter and by the time that she finished reading it tears were running across her face, and she was completely frozen, unable to speak, to tell the other girls what she had read.
Then Kim came back from the kitchen with a bowl of cereal and she saw Sammie with the letter in her hands crying.
“What happened Sam, what is it?” asked Kim with concern walking next to her friend
“It’s.. it’s…it’s” said Sammie between sobs.
“It’s what Sammie? Sammie come on. What’s on the letter? You are scaring me.” asked Kim now really concerned.
“It’s Lisa” finally said Sammie.
“What happened with Lisa?” asked Kim now afraid of what was on the letter.
“She left. She left Macross. She just left,” said Sammie cleaning her tears.
“What?” said Kim so surprised that she didn’t notice that she dropped the bowl with cereal. It crashed on the floor and broke, making Vanessa wake up.
“What happened?” asked Vanessa half sleep and worried. But no one answered her. Kim was trying to read the letter and Sammie had just sat on a chair like she was in shock.
“What happened girls? Why are you crying Sammie? What’s on the letter?” asked Vanessa but no one answered her again so she stood up and walked next to Kim.
“I just… this is …” Kim tried to say, but the tears filled here eyes and a knot tightened her throat.
“What is it?” asked Vanessa almost screaming this time, worried.
“Lisa, left. Lisa left Macross for good” said Kim with a lost voice.
“What?” said Vanessa surprised.
“She left, she left without saying goodbye” said Kim and she just sat next to Sammie in the same shocked state.
“It can’t be true, probably it’s a joke” said Vanessa in disbelief, but Kim gave her the letter and Vanessa let herself fall on the couch and started to read the letter with tears in her eyes.

Claudia woke up early in the morning and walked trough the kitchen to eat breakfast; she had to leave her house early because her brother had invited her to spend the day with his family. She had finished eating breakfast when the door bell ring.
“Hi Vince” said Claudia holding her brother who was standing in the door.
“Hi Clau, happy New Year” he said raising his sister from the floor.
“Vince, put me back on the floor,” said Claudia funnily.
“Are you ready? Bowie is waiting for you,” said Vince when he released her.
“Yes I’m ready” said Claudia and went to pick up her purse.
“Oh I forgot I found this in your mail box” said Vince and handed her an envelope.
“What is this?” said Claudia with curiosity and she opened the envelope. She hadn’t even finished reading the envelope when she left her house running.
“Claudia wait, what is it?” asked Vince following his sister.
“Lisa” was all that Claudia said before dropping the letter and jumping into her car and leaving her house at full speed.
Vince picked up the letter and only read a paragraph to understand what had happen.
“You told me once that I shouldn’t let the chance for love pass me by. Well Claudia I think that love never has been on my way. It was once, but this time it was only a dream and I can’t take it anymore. Forgive me for not saying goodbye to you, I just don’t have the courage….”
Claudia arrived at Lisa’s house and all the windows and curtains were closed. She let herself enter with her own key, only to find an empty house. Almost all Lisa’s possessions were in the house, but emptiness could be felt. Lisa had gone; she had left Macross because of him.

Rick woke up in the middle of the night, of a jump, and he was shivering from head to toe. He had a nightmare, but he just couldn’t remember of what. But the pain, the angst remained with him. He felt his heart shrink, just like when something bad happens, a knot in his throat, that made his breath hard. He stood up carefully, without waking Minmei, who was sleeping by his side.
He put his boxers on and started to walk to the bathroom. He washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt so empty, so lonely, even when Minmei was with him, despite the fact that they had spent the night together and had made love until they fell asleep. He felt empty, lonely.
He felt that his heart was missing something, that there was something that was missing in his life, something that was making him feel his heart heavy. And then he remembered he remembered last year New Year’s Eve. He remembered Lisa, and how he had felt when he had been with her. He just couldn’t take that feeling out of his mind while he had been with Minmei in bed, Lisa…..
He put some sport clothes on and left a note to Minmei that he had went out to jog. He ran as hard as he could, until he felt dizzy and he couldn’t breath, until he was completely exhausted. Trying that way to take Lisa out of his mind, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t stop thinking about her, not even now that he was with Minmei and all his dreams had come true. Lisa was all that was in his dreams, in his mind, in his heart and he had been such a fool with her, such an idiot. He had treated her like dirt, only because he was afraid that he would wake up from his stupid dream of being happy with Minmei. When all this time he had known that the only person who he could be really happy was her, Lisa. He had treated her badly because he was scared, scared to the core to admit that he loved her, that he didn’t love Minmei, that all that Minmei had ever been to him was a whim. Lisa…..

Minmei woke up and she didn’t find Rick by her side, all that she found was a note. She wasn’t happy about that, but it didn’t bother her, either. She stood up and put one of his shirts on and went to the kitchen and made some coffee for her, then put more clothes on to pick up the newspaper. She was dying to read what the press has written about her today. They probably were crazy asking themselves where she was, and she enjoyed the media expectation for her just too much.
She went outside Rick’s house and picked up the newspaper and then she noticed that there was something in the mailbox, so she picked up what was there too.
It was a white envelope, and the only thing that was on it was the name of Rick. The envelope wasn’t closed, so she left the envelope on the coffee table while she read the newspaper and when she finished she started to look at the envelope. She wanted to open it but she wasn’t sure about it. She remained on the couch watching the envelope, but when Rick never came back she finally opened the envelope.
She started to read the letter and she was speechless. By the time she finished reading the letter she was furious. Who did this Lisa Hayes think she was, to write a letter like that to Rick? She had heard Rick talk about Captain Lisa Hayes over and over since she had arrived to his place, and there was no way that she would let him read this letter.
Rick was hers, and she would not risk loosing him, not that this Lisa had a chance against her, she knew that she had Rick in the palm of her hand, but either way she would not run the risk.
So she got up from the couch and turned the fireplace on. When the fire was strong enough she threw the letter into the fire. In the same instant the door opened.
“Rick” said Minmei in fear.
“Hi, Minmei” said Rick with no emotion in his voice as he entered the room.
“Where were you?” asked Minmei with a voice that was the most annoying voice for Rick.
“I was running” answered Rick and he walked to the fireplace “You turned on the fireplace,” said Rick looking at the fire with attention.
“Yeah I was feeling cold” answered Minmei and she took Rick’s face in her hands, making him look away from the fire “I felt cold since you left bed” she said and started to play with Rick’s hair.
“I have to take a shower,” said Rick stepping back.
“I can join you,” said Minmei with a sexy voice following Rick.
“Yeah well…” said Rick uncomfortably.
“I know that you won’t say no” said Minmei and started to remove Rick’s T-shirt.
“No Minmei” said Rick seriously taking Minmei hands “I want to be alone” he said and left Minmei alone in the living room and went to the bathroom.
While he was taking the shower, the only thing that he could think was that at the same time last year he was taking a shower and the one that was waiting for him in the kitchen was Lisa. How much did he want her to be there again. What happened that time it had been a mistake, but not because it had happened, but because of how it happened. He was so confused, so blind, and the biggest mistake that he had made then was telling her that he thought that what had happened was a mistake.
