Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Because of You

"I'm sorry Will, I wish I didn't have to do this," said a burly man in a dress shirt and tie. "You've been late and missing too many days lately. Plus your performance and the quality of your work has gone down. I don't have much of a choice here."

"But Joe, come on. It's just been a bad stretch. I've just have had some hard times of late," Will pleaded. "I've been dealing with some personal issues."

"I know you've had a rough patch. I feel bad, but this is coming from the higher ups,. It's not in my hands," Joe replied. He leaned forward in his swivel chair and rested his arms on the papers that were scattered among his desk. "I know how hard it is losing a woman you care a lot about. But its been a few months now. For your own good, you need to move. Put her behind you."

"I am. I'm doing a lot better.," Will replied quickly.

"I know you have been drinking a lot. That's not the answer."

"I've not been drinking that much."

"People talk. Its gotten back to me Will," Joe said. Will tilted his head down letting out a sigh of defeat. "You need to quit that stuff. This is me as your friend talking to you here.. I'm concerned…"

"Its not a problem," Will interrupted. "I get it. I've been in a funk. I swear I'm on the verge of coming out of this thing."

"I hope you are, for your own good. And I hope you bounce back," Joe said before taking a pause. "I'm sorry but I still have to let you go."

"This is bull shit!," Will yelled. He stood up and banged his fist on the desk. "I've worked here for almost two years. Don't that mean anything?"

"Calm down. I am very sorry," Joe said holding his hands out in a calming way.

"Whatever man!" He turned and started walking out.

"Will I hope you take care of yourself and get back on your feet," Joe said as Will opened the door. He stopped half way out.

"Yeah," Will replied in a low voice. He then turned and walked out of the office. He walked across the floor towards the lounge area. He passed a few groups of people along he way. Will picked up on their stares and even heard some of the whispers. "I think they let him go." "Damn, that sucks, poor guy." "That girl messed him up badly."

Will tried to ignore them as best as he could. Tried to focus more on his anger that he was feeling at himself for screwing this up. Things had just been falling apart around him. This job was all he had left. He opened the door to the lounge area and walked in. He grabbed his hat and jacket off the coat rack.

"Shit, they didn't?" a man sitting at a table said. Will turned around to make eye contact.

"Yeah T.J., he canned me," Will said solemnly. He opened the refrigerator door and grabbed his lunch bag.

"Damn, that sucks," T.J said. He got up out of his chair and walked over to Will. "That's crazy! How can they do that to you. You're a hell of a worker."

Will shrugged and then said, "thanks man, you've been a good buddy here."

"It's been no problem man. What you going to do?" T.J. asked.

"I really don't know. I guess I'll figure something out," Will answered.

"Man if there is anything you need man, just call. I'll do my best to help ya," T.J. said as he put his hand on Will's shoulder.

"Thanks man. That's kind of you," Will said.

"Hey its what you do for a friend."

"Cool, I better head out before they call the cops and have me kicked out," Will said trying to joke.

"Yeah wouldn't surprise me. But you keep in touch man. I mean it," T.J. said giving Will a half hug. "Get a beer or something sometime."

"Sounds good man. I will keep up with you," he said. Will tipped his head and turned to leave.

He headed back out the door. Will stopped and looked around. Gathering up the will to walk past everyone again. He took a deep breath and headed towards the outside exit. Once again passing the onlookers. He felt the stares but didn't make eye contact with any of them. Luckily this time a machine was running so he couldn't pick up on any of the whispers.. He pushed the door open and headed outside.

Will squinted as the sunlight hit his face. He brushed his brown hair back as he slid his ball cap on. He paused for a second, taking everything in. You idiot! Look at what you did to yourself now. Now what are you going to do? He thought to himself. Will started across the parking lot. He pulled out his pack of cigarettes. He lit one and took a drag off it. He fumbled his keys out of his pocket as he reached his reached his pickup truck. He unlocked the door and climbed into the cab angrily shutting the door behind him.

Will leaned back and rested his head on the seat. His whole world felt like it was rushing in on him. Things just seemed to be getting worse and worse. Will was in downward spiral and he had no idea how to get out. It all began with her. She was the beginning of all his turmoil. Will's emotions finally started getting the best of him.

"What the hell do they know. Don't they know I'm trying," he yelled to himself. Will hit his steering wheel a couple times. He fell forward and rested his forehead on the wheel. He remembered a time when things were better.

He had a job that paid the bills. Will even had bought a house. It was small home, but it was his. Then one night while at fair with friends things got even better. He met a girl that lit up his world. He fell so hard in love with her. She had the cutest smile. He loved it when she would take her hand and brush her blonde hair back or the way her mouth would hang open when he would same something to shock. He loved everything about her. In Will's eyes he had found his soul mate. He had the girl he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with. Will would smile every time he saw her. Things were good, he was happy and had a direction in life.

But five months ago things changed. Will still didn't even know what went wrong. Things went bad so fast and it seemed to come out of nowhere. Things started looking strange. The girl started acting strangely. Then one day she just came out and told him. She was in love with another man and didn't want to be with him anymore.

Will was blindsided. This wasn't suppose to happen. He thought they were in love. They had even talked about marriage and starting a family. His world just collapsed. Will couldn't even understand what happened. It didn't make any sense to him. He didn't even know why or what went wrong. It just happened out of nowhere. From there a cataclysm of events escalated as everything started being sucked in the black hole that was his life.

"This is her fault. She caused this," he said as tears came down his face. "Why? Why did she leave me?"

Will sled the key into the ignition and started the truck. He angrily put in gear and started driving out of the parking lot. He needed to clear his head. He took the on ramp to the highway. In the back of his mind he pictured her giving him a devilish smile as if she enjoyed to misery she caused him. He tried to shake the image out of his head. Their was only one thing could help him. He needed to go to the Winding Road Tavern down on old Route 9. A few drinks would help him.

Will pushed the gas petal down harder. Dammit, now what in the hell am I going to do. That bitch screwed me again he thought. He quickly pulled into the left lane without warning. A horn blew behind him.

"Fuck you," he yelled as if the other driver could hear him. Will sped up and kept weaving back and forth through traffic.

Chapter 1: Lost in this Moment

Kevin awoke to a soft touch at his lips and slight taste of strawberry lip gloss.. He opened his eyes to see Amanda leaning over him, her eyes still shut from the kiss. His mouth opened as he kissed her back. She leaned back up and opened her eyes. Kevin stared up and basked into their emerald power. Amanda's long blonde hair hung down in front of her face towards him. He could never understand the power that look had over him, it drove him crazy. She gave him a quick half smile. Kevin still got overwhelmed by her beauty the same way he did seven months ago when they first started dating.

"Hey beautiful," he said groggily.

"Morning baby, well afternoon," she replied. "You stayed up late again didn't you?"

"Um..yeah, couldn't sleep. It might be easier if I had my beautiful girl here for me to put my arms around," he answered. He grabbed her from where she was sitting on the bed and pulled her over top of him to the other side of the bed. Her feet left dangling over him.

"I know baby. That day is coming, real soon. I'll be here every night, safe in you arms. Your stuck with me forever," she promised. She pulled her feet down from over him.

"I can't wait, I wanna be stuck with you," he said brushing her hair back behind her ears. She formed her lips into a kiss and beckoned him to kiss her again. He leaned towards her a kissed him.

Kevin couldn't recall a moment in his life that mad him happier since Amanda had been in his life. The feeling of her love just filled his whole being.. Kevin believed he finally had purpose and direction. He had the girl he was going to spend the rest of his life with. His life was complete.

They stared into each other's eyes. She pouted her lips again. He leaned close but stopped before reaching her lips to tease her. She whimpered at him through her pouted lips. He smiled and then obliged and leaned the rest of the way towards her and kissed her again. They kissed deeply. Her hand slid up to his face as his hand caressed down her side and came to a rest on top of her hips. The kissed got deeper and his arm started pulling her body towards him..

Amanda broke the kiss so she could kick off her shoes while Kevin pulled the blanket out from underneath her so she could slide under. They started kissing each other again. Their hands sliding all over each other. He slid his hand down and unbuttoned her pants. She wiggled them down until she could kick them off.

Kevin pulled Amanda towards him until she was on top of him. She looked down to him, once again her hair hanging down towards him. Seeing her like this made him want her more. She pulled off her shirt revealing a black lacey bra. Amanda bent down towards him again and started kissing on his neck driving him crazy.

"God baby I love you," he whispered.

She stopped long enough to say "I love you" back and then kept going. His hands slid down her slender back. He came to her bra clasps and unhinged them. She leaned back and let if fall down exposing her breast. Kevin turned her over so now he was hovering over her.

He reversed the roles and started kissing her neck. She moaned in acceptance. Kevin slid his hand down over her breast. Amanda's hands were busy sliding through Kevin's hair.

"Your driving my crazy," she whispered. She slid her hands down using her fingertips to caress Kevin's back. When she reached his boxers she started tugging at them.

"I want you!" she said.

He slid them down and off. Kevin then slid his hands up her long legs till he reached her pink thong and started pulling it down. He then moved back to where he was hanging over her. He locked his blue eyes on to hers.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you too," she answered biting her lower lip. He leaned down and started kissing her. He wrapped her legs around him. Their bodes became as entangled as their hearts were. They let their passion for each other take over and made love. Both completely focused on the other.

Their bodies rolled around the bed for over an hour. After it ended, Kevin laid on his back while Amanda had her head on his shoulder with her arm resting on his chest. Both were breathing hard and sweaty. Kevin's arm caressing her back. .

"God baby your amazing," she said.

"No babe, we're amazing. It's because everything is perfect with you. Its because I love you so much," Kevin answered. He kissed her forehead.

"Awl, I love you too snuckie. You're perfect. You do everything perfect. God you amaze me." she said looking up at him. She formed her lips to a kiss again. His head tilted down and pecked her lips again.

"Now get up!" she said as she lightly slapped his chest. She crawled out from under the covers at the bottom of the bed. She picked up her thong and started sliding back up her slender long legs. Kevin slid out and sat up on the side of the bed. He shook the remaining cobwebs from his brain and got up and went to his chest and got out a new pair of boxers.

"When I start spending the night and with us doing that, how do you think you're going to start getting any sleep?" Amanda joked. She slid her blue jeans up and fastened them. She began rooting around the side of the bed for her bra.

"Are you kidding?" he replied. He walked over to his closet and started going through his own jeans. "After doing that I'll be so wore out I will sleep like a baby."

She fastened her bra and slid her top back on. "You better. I wish you would get some sleep and stop staying up all night."

"I trying to. On the bright side, I got caught up on my Tivo," he joked sliding a pair of jeans on.

"You and that damn Tivo," Amanda groaned. She walked out to the bedroom. Kevin laughed as he got into the other side of his closest.

"Hey I had a couple good Survivorman's on tape," Kevin went on. I now know to survive if I get stuck the Amazon or in African plains."

"Good thing since we have a trip to Africa planned," she mocked form the other room.

"Hey its educational. You never know when something like that could come in handy."

"Uh huh, you're such a dork," she laughed. She plopped down into a lounge chair in the living room. "When would you ever be in a dangerous area?"

"You know I want to go somewhere in the Caribbean. There is some island that lets you get in the water and feed sharks. That would be awesome," Kevin said as he flipped through the shirts that were hanging in the closet.

"No, I don't think so," she answered sternly.

"What?"

"You will not be doing that."

"Its not like its free diving, I'll be in a cage."

"I don't care. The answer is no. You don't even know how to dive."

"How hard could that be to learn."

"No you'll get your fucking arm bit off. That's the end of this discussion. I swear I hate that damn Tivo. I hope you know when I move in you will be taping my stuff."

"As long as it don't interfere with my stuff."

"Excuse me! Don't make me kick your ass," she threatened.

"We'll find a compromise," he said smiling.

"That's what I thought," Amanda replied.

"How was your class today?" he said pulling a hard rock shirt off a hangar.

"Eh, okay," she answered. "Just a bunch of boring medical stuff."

He slide the shirt on and walked into the living room. Amanda had sat down in the lounge chair and was fiddling with her cell phone. Kevin walked over to her and pulled her up to her feet. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Okay huh?" he mocked.

"Okay," she teased back.

"Just okay," as his grip tightened pulling her closer.

"Yep," as she stared into his blue eyes. Their heads tilted as they itched ever closer.

"I love you," Kevin whispered.

"I love you too," she got out just as their lips met.

Instinctively their eyes shut as their lips touched. The kiss was deep and passionate and heart throbbing. Amanda's left leg kipped up behind her as the kiss went on. Kevin's grip around her tightened and he leaned back lifting her completely off the ground. Amanda broke the kiss to let out a startled giggle. She smiled looking down at him. She slightly bit her bottom lip before leaning down and putting her lips on Kevin's again.

This time their lips stayed together for what seemed to be an eternity. The passion in the kiss was immense. Their lips held fast, neither moving. I was barely noticeable if they were even breathing. They appeared to be statues carved into this romantic embrace. The world around them seemed to fade away and disappear. The only existence they knew was each other. Nothing else mattered for now, they became lost in the moment.

The 4 hottest female stereotypes.

I've considered this essay for awhile, and thought what the hell. Let's have some fun and cause a stir. I needed a little writing warm up anyways. Some might read this and agree and have a good laugh, some might read it and get angry, and most will ignore me all together and think I'm an idoit. But its my thoughts and my blog, so tough, and its all in fun so enjoy.

I've had this discussion many of times with friends and thought it was time to write it down and share. And yes I know what I'm typing are stereo types, but there stereo types I like. Over the years I've debated this list and have settle on these 4.

I'm a Kentucky boy so lets start with those good ole' country girls. Lot of people dog the country unjustifiably. But let me paint the picture. Cowboy boots, tight blue jeans (or daisy duke shorts), a flannel tied in a knot, and cowboy hat. 'Nuff said. I've dated a few country girls and let me say, a girl with a southern accent can be very sexy. How can you argue with demographic that includes Faith Hill and Taylor Swift. That should sell it alone.

For my second group, I go to complete opposite of the country girl, the punker chick. Maybe not the whole hardcore punker type, all though thats cool for some. I like more the modern punker dare I say emo chick. Something more along the lines of the Suicide Girls. I've never dated any, but were friends with a few. Leather mini skirts, fish net stockings, tight skimpy tshirts; DAMN. Then to top it off, there is just something hot about pink or blue hair. Not sure what it is, but it's hot.

For my third type, I'm going over seas. British girls. This might be the most argumentive pick, because there is only only real quality that pushes them up here. It's not there clothing style or anything physical. It's just the accent. It's just hot.

The fourth and final type on my list is the nerdy girl. Ths is the type of girl that fits the most fantasies. You have the naughty liberirain, the school girl, teacher, etc. Skirt, button up shirt, hair tied up, and glasses. I have been lucky enough to date a nerdy girl or two, so I have first hand witnessed this look first hand. This could be the best of the four I believe.

So there is my silly little list. Just my random thougths. I use to have a fifth, but I would always change my mind about it. The party girl, overrated; girl next store, overdone. There was a few others, but none of them had as much draw as the other four. I'm sure there are other's that disagree, but that's why it's my blog. The day I find a nerdy country girl, with pink and a British accent, I'll be butter in her hands.

Lock Up Your Wives and children, Vandy is coming!

Just starting off with saying hello. I'm your friendly neighborhood Vandy. A friend showed me this site and I thought I would sign up so that I would have another way of getting my words out to the public. I'll be using this site to post a range of things. From my fiction and short stories I write, to my rants when something pisses me off, to just my random thoughts. Some might like what they read, and some might not and think I need mental help; which I probably do. This is your dose of the Vandy. Some of my post might not be polictically correct, so read on at your own risk.
