"Don't forget me...please..."

As we lay there in my bed she looked up at me and said, "John, I want...I...I know you finally got away from all the trouble. And I...just...don't forget me...please? You...You have to come back and get me out of there too. I can't make it without you."

I look at her as the tears stream a bit, "What could make you think that I would forget you?"

"You didn't say good bye. I had to find your lawyer and ask her. You...you just left. You broke my heart when you just up and left."

"It wasn't my fault. The judge decided to get me out of there as quickly as possible. They didn't want me going back at all, in case I got in trouble again. I tried though, I swear."

"That's what Mrs. Banks said. She even apologized. She...she said she'd look into my cases as well. But...in case, please don't forget me. I...I've fallen for you John. And I don't want to even try and find another guy to give myself to."

I was about to respond, and say that I loved her too, but the last sentence caught me off guard. I mean she always had a boyfriend. While I would never have thought she'd have fucked everyone of them, I for some reason, figured one of them had opened her flower up. Obviously I was wrong, and she wants me to open it on up. But just to be sure, "Are...are you saying...you're a..."

"Of course you goof! I only dated everyone with two legs to make you jealous. But it didn't work. You just kept wanting me to be happy...and made me fall for you even more. You trust me, and I love that feeling. I go into grocery stores, I'm talking the shithole bodegas, and they have people following me. You, You and your sister rather, left me in your house when to go to the store together, and trusted me that I wouldn't steal anything. You didn't even look for anything. Even out of my eyesight you just trusted that everything was still there."

"You mean the time you mom had dropped you off for my sis to babysit?"

"Yeah, we were...eightish? No, you were nine. We were still at the point that we hated each other...but you trusted me not to steal anything. I...I think I fell for you that day, John. You could have asked me to play doctor the next day and I would have gladly done it. Even then I wanted to be with you forever, and ever and ever."

I stare into Mia's eyes, a giddyness that I had never felt before overcoming me. "So...you want to...you know...now?"

"Please...make love to me. Make me a woman...your woman. Forever. Don't worry though...let's just say I won't have to be your only one...just your main. I'll explain later..."

"So right now? No dinner or flowers or...anything?" I ask, teasing her a bit. My hands are running up and down her tanned skin again, eliciting a moan from Mia. My Mia.

"Oh...We can have the dream date at another time...please make love to me, John, please."
