Continued...

I stared at the clock in my dorm room as the 5 o'clock hour seemed to be taking forever. 50...51...52...59...6:00 p.m. ::silence:: I waited [impatiently] as the time turned to 6:01..02...15...30...and then finally I heard a knock at my door.

I opened the door to find [him] the man I once thought was the love of my life staring back at me. He stood bag in hand, Polo jacket on with a mischievous grin on his face. I smiled at him and opened the door a little wider for him to enter. He put his bag down and no words were spoken as he begin to kiss all over me, grabbing my hair, and tugging at my clothes.

All of a sudden I began pushing him...pushing him hard to get off of me. "Get out," I screamed. He looked at me in shock and confused as to what brought on my sudden change of heart. I kept pushing him as memories of all the horrible things he had done to me flashed in my mind. "Get out, get out, get out," I said with tears streaming down my face. He grabbed his stuff, and started yelling at me, but I screamed over whatever he was saying as I continued to push him toward the door.

He slammed the door and exited my dorm room and life [at the time]. My entire body began to shake as I cried and cried about...everything. I felt so alone..so hurt...and so stupid for what I had almost done.I curled up into a fetal position in my bed, with dried tears on my face, a heavy heart, and went to sleep.

SweetHeart...SweetHeart..SweetHeart..someone was whispering loud into my ear. I turned around to find my boyfriend smiling down at me and I realized that the day had never even begun, which meant that [he] had never come, and that I still had time to make it right.

I kissed my man lightly on the lips, grabbed my phone, and went into the bathroom. I dialed his number and waited for him to answer;

Him: What's up baby girl..I'm packing my bag now
Me: I don't want you to come
Him: What the hell..why?
Me: Because....I have a great man in my life who loves me and treats me right. Besides I'd rather be in love than sprung any day.

I hung up my phone without waiting for him to say another word and powered it off. I went back into the room, melted into my baby's arms and slept peacefully for the entire day.
