Jim didn’t answer, because he felt that a month was too short a time to know if you really loved someone or not. Lisa had been telling Jim this since the first week they dated. She didn’t seem to even notice when he didn’t reply. “I can’t wait for us to start a family,” Lisa said. Jim pulled away from her and said, “Whoa! I don’t want to start a family yet. I’m not ready for that. I thought you understood that when we discussed it a month ago.” “Oh never mind me, I just like to plan ahead. You know the planner in me. Just ignore what I said,” Lisa said as she calmed Jim back down. “In a few years, we’ll discuss it, not now,” Jim explained once more. “I understand, but honestly, I think I might need to move on. It’s been nice, but I want a family,” Lisa said. Jim looked at her like she was insane and said, “Lisa, we had this discussion. Why would you think it had changed?” Lisa got up and began to get dressed. Jim watched her and realized for the first time in their relationship, he didn’t know where in the hell they stood. He continued to watch her until she was fully dressed and finally asked, “So you’re leaving? Just like that?” “Yes…” Lisa walked out the front door and didn’t look back. 8 | Page Sentinel Reverse Bang 2012 (vol 1) Jim shook his head and wondered if she was mentally unbalanced. She had just said she loved him and wanted children and then left, just because Jim wasn’t ready. Sometimes things happen for a good reason, Ellison. Jim didn’t give it any more thought, and like that, Lisa was completely out of his life. He knew he would think of her now and then, but he would never look for her. She knew where he was if she wanted to get into contact with him. As Lisa drove away, she rubbed her flat tummy and said aloud, “Don’t you worry, little one. I’ll give you a good life. We don’t need him at all.” She smiled all the way to her apartment. She packed and moved within two days. She didn’t want anything to do with a man that didn’t want to have his own baby. Some day, he would be very sorry. PRESENT DAY: “Jim, do you want to have lunch today near the university?” Blair called out from the bathroom, as he brushed his wild, untamed hair. Jim started down the stairs from the loft bedroom and smiled. “Sure, that sounds good. Do you want to meet somewhere, or do you want me to bring food to you?” “I’d sort of like to get out. What about Quizno’s at 1:00?” Blair asked. “Perfect, see you at one. I have to get to the station now. Talk to you later. Have a good day, Chief,” Jim said as he leaned in for a warm kiss goodbye. Blair loved Jim kisses, so he pulled him back for one more. “Oh no you don’t, you get my motor running a little too fast, mister.
