It's my birthday, I'm rushing to get ready for dinner, we are suppose to meet @ 6:30pm it's 6pm and I'm still not dressed. Just out of the shower and going through the closet, it has been so long since my wife and I went out without the kids, who are 3 and 5 years old. My wife had taken the kids to grandma for the night, so I'm alone in a quite house with just a towel wrapped around my waist.
Suddenly the phone rings, just another sale call I think, but what if it's my wife, I guess I must answer. "Hello" I yell into the phone, I hate telemarketers and my wife knows it so she will not be surprised if it is she.
"Happy Birthday" I hear from the other end but I can not that quickly place the voice, "Do you know who this is?" comes the question. I of course not wanting to be rude lie.
"Of course, I never forget a beautiful women voice" Was I felt a safe answer, as my mind was searching trying to place her, who is this? I am thinking hard when she gave herself away.
"Can you talk now?" That line! Right away I knew who it was it was Rachel. I haven't spoken to her since right before I got married.
"No now is not a good time, is there someway I could reach you later so we can catch up on things?" Rachel gave me a number and told me to call her the next day. It had been 6 years and the last time we talked I asked not to call again. She began to call at 5 in the morning and my wife had just moved in. The first two times I just said it was too early to talk, of course my wife wanting to know who would dare call so early. I was stuck and after the second call had to tell her. So here the third time I had to do something. I told not to call back. Racheal did not know I was married I did not have time to give her an explanation at 5 in the morning with my wife listening in. I tried to call her a few time but her husband kept answering. Then I kept putting it off.
As I dressed and rushed to the restaurant I thought of our history (Rachel's and Mine). We were boyfriend and girlfriend back in the ninth grade, over fifth teen years ago. We hade tried to take each other virginity from each other, but things or people kept getting in the way. The next year she went to a different school and we started seeing other people. Of course we kept in touch till she married before even finishing high school. She would call from time to time maybe once a year then even less after a few years. We finally saw each other by accident about a year before I got married. I even met her once in a park where we made out but she would not let me get very far. Rachel would call me and tell me she was unhappy and wanted us to get together but I knew it was all talk, so I never told her I was getting married.
The wife and I had our night out, dinner, drinks and a night of love making, but I must admit that I kept thinking of Rachel. Even though in the past she would not let me get far with her, she would always say how she was married and could not cheat.
