And They Met Again 3

Jim woke up early the next morning. Hailey watched him silently while he was preparing. She pressed his clothes ahead and prepared all that he may need.

For five years, they had shared one room in any hotel they occupied everytime they traveled but

always with two beds. And now, that they were on her single - room condominium unit, he slept at a spare mattress.

Jim was always kind and protective of her but always only as a friend. She was sick of being treated like that but how could she demand? She was already hurting as time went by. All she could do was to patiently wait and wish that someday, he may open up his heart to her. She may be the most brilliant woman for being able to discover the most potent cancer cure, but she was too stupid to win a man's heart.

"Dear, I'll go now. Just inform me of your activities. " Jim said as he hugged and kissed her on the cheek.

Sad to say, his kisses and endearment was only for a friend.
