of your own Kiara," Cassidy said to me as they were on the topic of Troya's pregnancy.

    "Actually, the baby bug still hasn't got me," I said, trying to   play it cool.

    I found her comment annoyingly presumptuous, not every woman was baby crazy and it this point in my life I wasn't even sure if I'd ever want to even get married.

    "Burgers are done!" Ramone called, waving a pair of tongs above his head.  

    Everyone started loading up there plates and I realised then that Thomas must not be coming. I don't know why but I felt a tinge of disappointment. An hour went by and still no sign of Thomas, I was itching for a cigaret so I snuck off to the side of the house to have one where no one could judge me.  

    I lit up and inhaled the smoke, instantly becoming a little less tense. I wash't really a smoker except for when I drank or was stressed out. I was both those things right now. I heard a rustling from the trees separating me from the rest of the party guests and I hid the cigarette behind me, peering over to see who was coming to my private spot.

    My body registered before my eyes at the sight of him, my heart beating so hard I thought it would burst out of my chest. I dropped the cigarette and tried to compose myself. Eyeing up the man that stood in front of me, he was tall, fit looking, with glowing tanned skin and a crop of dark brown hair. His grey eyes pierced my skin as he looked at me. It was Thomas.  

    "You came," I said, the alcohol had toughened me up but even still I was trembling.

    "Kiara," he said walking towards me, "holy crap, it's really you..."

    I stared at him for a while and a million emotions began to take over my body. Maybe it was the wine, maybe it was being back in Chicago, whatever it was, I completely lost it when he said my name. I felt tears well up in my eyes and then I felt them falling down my cheeks. I let out a gasp and turned away.  

    "Hey...Ki..." Thomas said walking up behind me and placing his hand on my back.

    His touch burned right through me.

    "Ki, what's wrong?" Thomas asked with concern in his voice.

    I turned to face him, feeling like a total idiot, why did I drink so much?

    "Sorry, fuck, hey Tom," I said trying to gain composure, "sorry...I'm fine, really, I don't know what's wrong with me."

    "I shouldn't have come, I'm sorry Kiara, this was really stupid of me."

    I thought about what he was saying. It was so typical of him, he was the perfect gentlemen. I had abandoned him without and explanation and never bothered to give him any answers all these years yet still, he was the one apologising. It was time for me to woman-up and do the right thing.

    "No, Tom," I looked up into his eyes, he had grown into the most handsome man, "I'm glad you're here, I don't know what it is but seeing you here..."

    "It's emotional?"

    "Yeah."

    "Well you're not the only one," he said, "I've been thinking for years of what I would do if I ever saw you again, I kind of had a plan even, but now that you're here in front of me I'm scared as hell."

    My breath caught and I wondered what he meant by that.

    "What did you plan to do?" I asked.

    "First I was going to kiss you..." he said stepping forward and putting his arm around my back so we were almost pressed against each other.  

    His breath was warm on my face and I suddenly wanted to submit to his lips. I closed my eyes and waited for his kiss.

    "Then I was going to scold you for running out on me and leaving me hanging all these years," he added, letting me go.

    I felt the tension unravel inside me and I stared at him, his contradicting words had me confused.

    "Lighten up Ki, I'm just playing," Thomas said, "tell me, how have you been?"

    "Fine, good..." I told him, I was unsure exactly what to say to him, I was tongue-tied.

    "You look good," he said eyeing me up, "really good."

    "Thanks. So do you," I told him looking at the small bit of his bare chest that was revealed from his loosely buttoned shirt. He looked really
