Madison Wong has come a long way from being a farmer girl. Now divorced and working as a nurse, she's ready to date again hoping to mend her broken heart with a new relationship or at least have some fun while searching for love. Everything changes when she gets an invitation to her high school reunion.
View MoreShane, you have to tell me where you’re taking me, or what are we doing? Nope, not unless you ask nicely. Can you please tell me what you’re doing? Well, my pretty love, we are going on our actual first date. Oh, my seriously, is that why you asked for me to have the day off? Yes, that is precisely why. What do I need to wear, or is what I am wearing fine? He says to me, you will most certainly need to change from your work clothes. I need to most certainly take you on a first date and a few more after that before I leave. Wait, what, you’re leaving? Where are you going, I ask Shane. I have some business that I have to take care of overseas in Japan. So, this will be our only date before you leave? No, Maddison, I don’t have to leave for another two weeks. Oh, what a relief, I was worried that you might have to leave right after our first date. Of course not, I planned this out accordingly to spend as much time together while I’m here working on a project. What kind of project are
As soon as I open the door wide enough, I can kind of see who it is, but the sun is shining bright in my eyes. Come on in whoever you are, I can’t see you right now because of the sun. The person steps inside my house and once I adjust my eyes I see who it is. Oh, my freaking goodness, Gabriel, it’s you. Now I suppose you are here for Emily. Yes, I am, he says to me. Before you do that we need to talk. Shane and Emily, we will be in the living room talking. I go out the kitchen, to close the sliding door so they can’t hear what I’m about to say to Gabriel. Gabriel, Emily has told me that you have been hovering over her as if she is going to go into labor any minute now. You do know she is not due for another few weeks, and you are stressing her out is not helpful for either her or the baby, “But we thought that we had almost lost the baby, Gabriel says.” “Well, you did not, have the contractions were stopped, I told him.” “ Now she cannot have any more stress.” “Emily needs to relax
Who can be at the door this time of night? I asked myself. The doorbell just keeps ringing and ringing. My goodness, I am coming I say to the person on the other side of the door. I get to the door to open it. I swear Gabriel if this is you I already told you that we were through and I am not taking you back. To my surprise when I finally swung the door open it was not my ex-husband Gabriel, it was Emily his former secretary. What the h e double hockey sticks are you doing here? I know that I am the last person that you want to see. You got that right as I’m about to close the door. She puts her hand on the door, please could you let me in? I must speak to you to clear the air. You do know it is very late and now is not a good time for you to be here. I’m so sorry Maddison, but this is the only time I could get away from Gabriel so I could talk to you. He is hovering over me all the time. I just could not stand it anymore so I had to escape once he fell asleep. Okay, then come in I
When my shift is over, and I clock out, I grab the roses and then head to my car in the parking lot. The roses smelled so good too. I can’t believe that he would send me roses after our rendezvous during the class reunion. I wonder if anyone noticed that the popular jock and the pretty nerdy girl were missing. No, I highly doubt that, but I will read about how it went on our school website soon.Driving home I just couldn’t believe that Shane would send me flowers, and they are my favorite too. It was so thoughtful of him to do that. I guess he just wanted to show that he respects me. I guess they mean it when they say some people have changed since high school, they weren’t lying. Furthermore, I put the flowers in the passenger sand and then buckled them up. “Yes, people I buckled my flowers because they are beautiful, and didn’t want them to fall out of the seat.”“I know that it is crazy, but they are gorgeous, so I am not taking any chances.” "If you all don’t like it, will tough n
After feeling a tap on my shoulders I turn around and see that my boss Chief Administrator Lee Jones or Lee as he wants me to call him standing there looking at everyone. Suddenly, the nurses scatter, about to continue their shifts. Hello Maddison, I take it that you had a nice time at your high school reunion, he states. Why, yes, I did, as I replied to him. That is good to hear, however, you can chit-chat about it on your break or during lunch. Now there is a patient in room 215 who needs to be tended to. Yes, Mr. Jones, I will get right to that now. As I am heading towards the patient's room. Mr. Jones calls me, and says to me, remember to call me Lee. Oh, another thing, I want to see you in my office during your thirty-minute break. Sir, my break is only fifteen minutes, I respond to him. Well, I am making an exception, and we’re going to need the whole thirty minutes. Okay, I will see you in a few hours, Lee for my break. Good, that gives us some time to chat about your reunion
Monday came and Shane had driven me to the small Springfield airport. He could only leave me at security since he wasn’t allowed past them because of COVID. He kisses me goodbye before I am called. The TSA agent says next then I go through security seeing Shane wave goodbye. I wave back blowing a kiss at him and he catches it putting it right on his heart. While waiting to be called to the plane, the flight attendant said it would be about thirty minutes since the pilot hadn’t shown up yet. So, I just take a seat in one of the nice comfy chairs to wait. As I am sitting here looking through my phone I see a text from Shane. “Maddison, I would like to thank you for a wonderful time after the reunion. It was great seeing you after all this time. I would like to see you again. Hope to hear from you soon. Shane My word I can not believe that he wants to see me again. I’m just staring at my phone looking at the text I just received. Last call for flight 469 to Dayton, Ohio. Oh my goodne
After we are done eating, Shane takes me to his room. We walk in and there is a king-size bed with a canopy in the middle of the room. On the right side of the room, I see a door which I assume leads to the bathroom. Will you excuse me for a minute, I say to Shane, I need to freshen up. Sure go ahead, the bathroom is right through that door. I open the door to the bathroom and what I see is beyond my imagination. This bathroom is not a regular bathroom, it is more of an ensuite and has a huge Jacuzzi tub. Now that is something I can relax in and do other things in. Are you alright in there I hear Shane through the door. I’m fine just admiring your bathroom. Oh, okay, thought you fell in for a minute. No, I wouldn’t be right out in a few minutes. Why am I so nervous being with this man? I have been dreaming of this since before I married Gabriel. Now, Maddison, you can do this he finally sees your worth, I tell myself. You didn’t even see a ring on his finger, either. Make sure thoug
As I am still talking to the former cheerleaders. I still get the feeling that if I am being stared at by someone. However, when I turn around, I don’t see that person looking at me. Whoever, that person was, is gone now. Hopefully, whoever it was, I doubt that I see them again. Ok, just standing there talking to some of the people I knew in high school. I am just talking and having a good time, until I feel someone tap my shoulder. That is when I turn around and there he was, Mr. Shane Evans. He is looking more fine than before, tall, tan and beautiful green eyes. If you have a moment, he says, but aren’t you Maddison Wong, he asks me. Yes, I am, I replied. Didn’t you use to be a nerd? Yes, I did keep my head in the books, so I could get into a good college. Well, look at you, the years have been good to you. You look great, all I could do was say thank you while blushing. You have come a long way from the nerdy, pretty girl I have seen around campus ten years ago. Wow, when I thi
It was the day of the class reunion, and I was lucky to get some time from work for this. Of course, I am going to have to work double shifts to make up for this time away from work. I am certainly up early today in my hotel room and very anxious about tonight. I just wish that my parents were here to see what I have accomplished so far. Ring, ring, I answer my cell phone after being in my thoughts. “Hey, Sandy?” My goodness, Maddison, you were supposed to call me once you reached your hotel room. Oh, I am so sorry, I completely forgot. Once I got off the airplane and took an Uber to the hotel and checked into my room. I lay on the bed, and before I knew it, morning came. Plus, I was just thinking about my parents and how I wished that they were here. Oh honey, I am so sorry I completely forgot about that. Don’t worry, it is fine, I know they are watching over me and are proud of me. Yes, they are sweetheart, and you just remember that. Do you think that you’re going to run into Gab
