Crossroads (29 page)

We continued to kiss each other with unbridled passion, our bodies hard against one another as the world around us melted away.  There was no cliff top overlooking the sea.  There was no crowd of people milling about.  And it wasn’t only the heat from the blazing sun that was warming our bodies. 

We could have been anywhere in the world at that point and it wouldn’t have mattered.  Because as our hands roamed one another and our hearts beat for each other, it was just us.

Em and Nick, together at last.

How it was supposed to be
- Nick and Emma, together,
finally

Instead of working I find myself playing around on Facebook,
again
. 
Why do I torture myself?
It’s been three months since I moved to Sydney, three months since Emma and I broke up, and three months I’ve been stalking her on the internet.  I really should unfriend her, but I just can’t seem to click that button.  I go to her profile and find her page updated, yet again, with pictures from around the world.  This time it’s a picture of her and Nick on a “
gondola in Venice…”
having the “…
time of our lives”
the smiles on their faces proving that point.

Just when I think I’m nearing the end of this dark tunnel, I have to bring myself back to the bitter truth that she will never be mine.  I still love Emma, and I guess a part of me always will.
It hurts knowing I couldn’t be the one for her, when I really thought she was the one for me.  We had so much in common; in theory we were perfect for each other.  But her heart wasn’t in it.

It’s clear by her Facebook page that she has more than moved on, she’s found exactly what she needed.  She’s happy and I’m glad she is.  Everyone deserves to be happy, even girls who break your heart.
