LOVESTORYS: part 1

Don´t hate me for leaving you like this

This is the first part of a love series, either story is different and about different people. But I won´t write more storys if people don´t want me to so please, please review!!

Paris is worth a visit, I always heard my sister say. I had won a journey to Paris for two persons but I wasn´t really sure if I wanted to go. My husband and I had decided to go on vacation but we were both surprised when it happened so early. Anyway, we ended up fighting, like we did most of the time lately. We decided that I would go to Paris and he would stay with the kids. So my sister said she would come with me. I wasn´t really angry with my husband, lately I didn´t expect anything from him. My kids especially my daughter Diane were very sad when I left for Paris. But I promised to bring souvenirs and they were happy again. My sister, Jen, had two reasons why she came with me; first, she didn´t have to pay for it and second, she wanted a man. Though my sister was six years younger than me she had way more boyfriends that me. She didn´t see sense in getting married, she needed her freedom. When I was younger I never really understood how she could live that way but now where my marriage was just a lame routine, I did understand. But of course I didn´t tell her that. The hotel and our room was wonderful. We had to share one since it was a vacation for couples. To have some fun my sister told them that we just got married in the netherlands, we earned some shocked gazes but it really was fun. But the evening wasn´t. Jen had gone out to search company for the night and I was left alone in the hotel room. From upstaires I heard music, there was a party. At first I was scared to go there but then I thought, who cares. I took one of Jens sexy dresses and went upstaires. I checked if maybe Jen was there, too, but unfortunately she wasn´t. So my boringness continued. It wasn´t really fun watching happy couples dancing but since I didn´t speak french very well I couldn´t talk with someone. I was totally lost in my thoughts so that I didn´t realize that someone was standing in front of me, I lifted my head and looked into two wonderful blue shining eyes. " You finally see me, I already thought you were asleep." He said and smiled with the most beautiful smile. " Well, no." Was all I could get out. This man totally amazed me. " Are you alone here?" he asked still smiling. " Yes, I mean no actually yes, I am here with my sister but she is out so now I am alone but usually I am not alone." I said and he looked at me confused. " I actually meant if you are here with a man." I kind of blushed at that question. " Well, no." Now his smile turned into a grin. " So you wanna dance?" For the first time I smiled back at him and nodded. He slowly took my hand and led me to the dancefloor. Some weird feelings rushed over me when he drew me closer and slowly began to dance. I suddenly felt like I was back in high school. I chuckled a bit when I thought about it. " Have I done something?" he asked. " No, I just thought about something." " Oh, ok." From then we both kept quite. There was nothing to talk about. Though he was completly strange to me, I didn´t feel uncomfortable, I felt safe in his arms. But that kinda scared me. I didn´t know that man, not even his name but even if he would have asked me to marry him I´d said yes. Suddenly he stopped dancing and pulled away a bit, I looked at him confused. " The song is over." He said and again smiled. I blushed again.

" Thanks for the dance...could you please tell me your name?" " Rachel." I said and felt very bad all of sudden. " Rachel, nice name. Mine is Patrick." I forced myself to smile. Suddenly I heard someone yelling my name and I turned aound. Jen was running in my direction. " Sorry to interrupt you but I have a huge problem." She said to me and looked at Patrick. " Excuse me." I told Patrick and went with Jen to a quiter place. " What is the problem?" I asked lightly annoyed. " I met this wonderful and very cute guy and we want, y´know." I rolled my eyes. " And where please shall I sleep?" She thought for a momemt and then smiled. " You sure can sleep at this guys place." " Are you crazy I am married!" " Who cares! Just have fun and don´t come back to our room." With that Jen disappeared. For a moment I couldn´t move. So much thoughts went through my mind. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. " Who was that?" Patrick asked softly. " My sister, Jen she just wanted to tell me that I am homeless for tonight." " Oh that is very bad!" he said smiling sweetly. It made me melt automatically. " Now I have to search a place to sleep for tonight." I said hoping that he would offer me his room. " I have a two beds in my room, you can have one if you want. I mean we don´t know each other but it would be just for one night, right?" I smiled at him. I didn´t care how long I knew him, I wanted to be with him though it scared me to death. " Yes." I said almost whispering. Then we went upstaires to his room, slowly and looking into each others eyes. After he closed the door behind him he turned around and we stood just inches away from each other. I was as nervous as a teenager in love when he leaned closer and lightly kissed me. His lips were so soft. But suddenly he pulled back. I looked at him surprised. " Sorry, I didn´t..." I cut him off with kissing him but this time it was more passionately. While we were kissing we fell on the bed... When I woke up the next morning I couldn´t remember anything, then suddenly I felt someone lying beside me. I smiled when I saw it was Patrick but I also felt very bad. In my head I saw my kids and my husband, I had cheated on him. There was only one way now, I had to go before Patrick would wake up. Slowly and carefully I got up from the bed. Then I got dressed very fast and wrote him a note. I told him that it was a wonderful night but that I was married and that I had kids. I know it would probably hurt him but I couldn´t leave my husband and my kids even when Patrick made me feel like I´ve never felt before. The way to my hotel room seemed to be endless long but I finally arrived. Jen was just saying good-bye to her lover. " Oh there you are." She said as he was gone. " Yeah, I am back." I repliep tiredly. " So where did you sleep?" she asked with a grin. " I took a little, cheap room." " Oh, that is great, come on we have to pack." I knew I could have told Jen. She wouldn´t have juged me but I was still scared and wanted to forget the fact that I had cheated. On the flight home the only thing I could think of was Patrick and how wonderful he was, he was so different. The thought of him brought a smile on my face. Jen probably figured out that I didn´t tell her the truth but she kept quite and just smiled at me with a knowing look. When we arrived at home, everybody was waiting, the three kids were standing all smiling from ear to ear besides her father who was smiling as well. Then he came to me and hugged me very tightly. I was very surprised ´cause he didn´t hug me that way in a long time. Then he broke the hug and looked into my eyes. I could see that he had tears in them. " I am so sorry I was so mean to you lately, I was just..." I cut him off. " It is ok, believe me." We kissed. Then suddenly someone tipped me. I broke the kiss and looked to my youngest child, he smiled. I picked him up. " Did you buy us gifts?" He asked exited. " Sure." All the kids were now exited, just as I wanted to say something my husband solved the problem. It was surprisingly but something must have brought him to think while I was away. Suddenly the thought of Patrick came back to me, I was happy that I left him, it wasn´t the right time for us, maybe if we had met earlier. I shook the thought of and went over to my waiting family.
