Toby and Krista had reunited after 12 years. Life had taken them on different paths. Krista had gotten married and had a child and tommy... well toby was always the slow 1 although he did meet someone and got engaged to her, when tommy and krista had started talking again, it was like just yesterday when she had blocked him out of her life. She hadn't blocked him from a fight or anything it was because she did not trust her self with him in her life.
It was always going to happen. They would meet and it was just like years ago, she would do what feels right for her self and he would follow along through fear of missing out of experiences. He loved life, especially in the summer time even though he hated being alive. He is one of those guys that can't turn his brain off even though he is very fair and level headed, he hasn't the confidence a person needs to go on auto pilot.
For at least 2 years of talking and feeling hurt and let down. It was all from her avoiding him, clearly obvious to him, it all came to a head when on a hot summers day, he had been asking her to come see him for weeks. It didn't need to be long. He had gone out of his way to be there for her to come and meet up, maybe even a short convocation, he would then leave after giving her a christmas present.
It was that afternoon. He had worked himself all up. Mixed feelings of excitement and nerves.
Crunch time. She messages through, she sounds like she is about to come. Then the obvious lies start. Rolling through via SMS.
He didn't hesitate, expecting this would happen anyway. Krista had just let him down too many times.
Knowing her reaction would not meet up with the relationship the 2 have, he just doesnt tell her his actual thoughts.
He had lost confidence in himself and no longer understanding their relationship and too cranking to say much more, christmas eve he just told her. He doesn't know how to converse with her now. This leaves room in the future if he feels like working it out.
The holiday season come and went. They had both gone back to work and had been weeks since he had even thought of her. Although she will never admit it, it was tearing her up that its her fault he was not talking to her.
Another week came and went. Krista was torn between her head and her heart. Head was to continue on with her husband and family. Although she didn't want to leave her family her heart was telling her to try and fix things up between tommy and her.
She knew it wasn't right but he has always been her secret, something personal for her to have, no one else knew about him and he was also there for her to get what she needed.
Krista didn't care that what she was doing was toxic to him nor did she care about what he needed from the relationship. At least she didn't come off that she did to him.
Finially krista decided to talk. she didn't like the thought of him being angry at her even though he was more then she knew. He just couldn't seem to move on from her.
They spoke off and on for a few weeks further. He had organised for a couple days off for his own mental rehabilitation. He had asked her to find some time for him. To meet him on the thursday. she had to find someone to look after her son and understood that. Although with her track record of avoiding seeing him his bet was it wouldn't happen.
He asked her to meet him at a look out, he outlined there was a hike that leads to a beach that he wanted to check out.
Krista knew if she let him down again she would never hear from him again. She knew this because his tone had changed from the encounter at christmas time.
Turning up to the Look out Krista found parking easy right next to Tommy. Both very nervous to see each other, it had been such a long time. Perhaps years.
Tommy got out and headed over to her car to see her, taking in the 1st look of her sitting in the drivers seat, short white dress trying to cover those long legs planted in her seat, the front of the dress lined with buttons holding together a slit that outlined her braless boobs. Krista leaned forward and hugged the steering wheel, as tommy tried to swallow the lump in his throat.
