4 chapter 4

Inhaling Sharply, he sat up and put his hand to his face. He'd also come back because he has some unfinished business to take care of. Getting up, he walked out the door and to his son's room. Everything was still in its proper place, nothing removed. As he switched the lights on, he saw dust mites lingering over the furniture,in the closet where the clothes still hung. staring around the room, he inhaled sharply as the recollection of the little boy he'd once held in his hand surfaced in his thoughts. He went out into the hallway to the linen closet, reached up on the to shelf and grabbed some cleaner, where he took it back to the room. Bit by bit, he dissembled everything.

The following morning, Denise awoke with a bright disposition. She glanced over at the wall clock, reading that it was nine 0' clock in the morning. Throwing the covers off of her, she stretched her limbs, turned to the left and then right to get the creaks out of her hips. Grabbing her clothing out of the closet, she went for a shower.

An hour later, shower done,downstairs for breakfast and then off to work at Yaal. Denise attention focused on Jordan and why he had come back to town. A sigh escaped as many possibilities running through her head, even one she didn't want to admit. Things like that never happen in real life. Guys never came back to the girls they'd first loved. It was preposterous to even think of such an idea. Two years was definitely enough time to get over a high school sweetheart right?. She cleared her throat, push the thought aside and then grab her key off the table.

Jordan watched with amusement as she came out of the house,keys in hand and made her way to a car. Since when had Denise gotten a car?. When he'd left, she had been using her mother's vehicle to the store , now she was driving a ninety seven Nissan Altima. He walked up to the end of the drive way, stopping right behind her car. When the car began moving, he wondered how good of a driver was she?. Just as he thought this, the car came to a complete stop, looking out the window, she raised both brows

"Would you like me to hit you"?

He let out a laugh " would you like to?

She smiled back. " tempting offer but its against law "

He shook his head feeling light hearted." Do you always have to go by the book?".

"I was told it was safer that way".

He nodded " oh!. really?"

Denise sighed" yeah". Her gaze went down to her watch " you're making me late for work"

He nodded"am sorry". Denise waited for him to move, when he didn't, she cleared her throat" I would like to get going.its going to be a long day.

Jordan nodded "I suppose you would like me to move?".

Denise laughed " that's the idea"

He smiled at the sound of such sweetness" beautiful music"

She narrowed her brows, confused " what?"

"Your laugh, is beautiful " . He stated.
