Chapter 4
I really did not want to be set up on a date the first day that I get back but my mom wanted me to meet one of her book club gals, as she called them, daughter, because as she put it she needed to get out more and date. When my mother said this the first thing that came to mind was she had to be not that attractive, if her mother was setting dates up for her. Then I thought maybe she's just a shy book nerd or something, which would be okay because I want a girl I could have an actually conversation with, not just a pretty girl.
Even then that I thought that I still wanted to just go home and settle in and then go visit my parents. This was my first day back and I already had a ton of things to do and adding a date that I didn’t even want in the first place did not make that list of things any shorter. I only agreed to the date, because my mother pestered me into getting to know people in the town, and if I happened to get a girlfriend out of it then that would be great. I said yes to her not for those reasons but just to make her happy and more importantly to stop nagging me about it.
I was very grateful when the girl’s mother decided to call and say her daughter canceled. I called my mother straight after she ended the call, sounding very frustrated I might add. I didn’t care at that point though. Just wanting to finally see my parents after about 7 years, I quickly made dinner plans with them. They were sad about the canceled date but they offered to come, saying things like they were excited to see me after so many years.
I was excited about that but I had to get serious because I had something to take care of at this point. Currently I was sitting in my car, which was parked in Northside Park, waiting for Teresa to show up. She said she would be here around 1 but it was 1:30 now and I was getting very impatient. I really wish she wouldn’t make me wait like this; it’s making me go slightly crazy. I parked my car so that I was facing the entrance of the Park and every time I see a silver car my heart starts racing. Then I watch as the person start to step out and my heart literally stops until they fully come out and at that moment my heart just drops because it wasn’t her.
I glanced out the side of my eyes to see another silver car drive up and park. I try not to get my hopes up but there’s no use. I watch hesitantly as the person opens up there door. Everything seems to be moving slow, as one leg pops out and softly lands on the ground. I leaned closer waiting for the moment when this woman gets out. I could tell it was a woman by the leg structure and obviously the heels. I waited wishing she would get out faster so I could know if it was truly her. When she finally did get out my heart dropped, because it couldn’t be her. I leaned back angry that this wasn’t Teresa but this woman had long flowing hair that went past her shoulders. I didn’t catch a glimpse of her face because her hair flowed over her face as she bent in the back seat for something. It doesn’t matter this woman couldn’t be her since the Teresa I knew would never have her hair that long and loose. The Teresa I knew always had her hair up in a ponytail, never in her face, and the Teresa I knew never wore heels now that I thought about it.
I got frustrated the more I thought about it, resulting in hitting the horn of my car with my head. When the horn went off I was so shocked that I shot up consequentially knocking my head on the headrest. Now I feel the back of my head throbbing. I brought my hand up to rub the back of my head. Looking up as I did so I could see the woman looking up at me. I saw her smile towards me and then wave. I was confused as to why this woman would be waving at a complete stranger. Maybe she wanted to hit on me or something. She started beckoning towards, so I figured she wanted to ask a question. I got out of my car thinking that I have been waiting a long time so I needed to stretch a bit and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to talk to this woman in the process.
I got out and walked towards her. Feeling my legs stiffen each step I took, I thought it was a good idea that I take a little walk. My legs felt better each step I took getting closer to the woman in front of me. With every step that took me closer I thought I recognized this woman. I couldn’t possible know this women so why did she seem so familiar? Finally reaching her, I brought my gaze to her and scrutinized her very carefully.
Confused at this point, I didn’t know what to say so I stood there like an idiot. I guess she could tell my confusion because she spoke up first.
“Nate it’s me. Teresa?” She said raising one eyebrow and putting her hand on her hip, the same as she usually did when she was frustrated.
“Teresa? Really is that you?” I said shocked and not believing it was her, but it sure did sound like her.
“Well, of course it’s me. Who else would I be?” She said spinning around so I could get a look at all of her.
“Um, well not you, that’s for sure. I mean your hair is longer and for God’s sake you’re wearing heels.” I said flicking her hair over her shoulder and pointing at her shoes.
“Yea I’ve had some changes. Do you like?” She asked looking up at me hesitantly.
“Yes, you’re still as beautiful as I remember.” I stated truthfully while brushing a piece of hair out of her face.
“Thank you Nate! You know I missed you right. Well after I stopped being mad at you.” She said the whole time with a little blush that appeared when she first started to speak.
“You’re welcome but uh I don’t exactly go by Nate anymore. Actually it’s Wyatt now.” She put on a confused face on when I told her that. “Don’t ask I can’t really explain my reason; just know that’s what I go by.”
“Okay well anyways do you want to see Naomi?” She asked changing the subject knowing I wasn’t going to tell her anything further about my name situation.
This was what I had been waiting for, but now I was really nervous. What if she didn’t remember me? I mean it’s been 4 years since I last came down here to see her and then she was only 3 so she wouldn’t remember me at all, would she? I really hoped she did. I love her with all my heart and it pained me every second to be away from her. I couldn’t even respond to Teresa’s question I was so nervous.
Teresa took my silence neither as a yes or no so she took it into her own hands to make the decision. She stuck her head into the back seat and ushered Naomi out. I was so nervous that my palms started sweating. I quickly tried wiping my hands on my pants but that was no use because I was just so anxious. This was just the moment I have been waiting for, for so long that I didn’t know how to react other than to be nervously, anxious.
I stood there frozen to this current spot, just waiting. I watched as Teresa argued with Naomi. Apparently Naomi wanted to get out herself because she was old enough to do things by herself. She was insisting this but Teresa was a little over protective so I knew how Naomi was feeling. Teresa always likes taking care of people and I mean to the full extent. I mean she was a natural born mother. I remember a time when she grabbed my hand right before we crossed a sidewalk. She insisted that it was just because she wanted to hold my hand but I know better than that.
I was brought out of this wonderful memory to hear them argue even more. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to help but I didn’t know how to do that exactly. Instead of trying to help then I just continued to stand there unmoving. I just really wished Teresa would let her do it herself so I could see Naomi. That’s all I wanted at this point. It just so hard to force my way into their argument, plus it’s not really my place.
This was just getting old really fast. I have want I’ve been waiting for, for so long but Teresa is kind of standing in the way of letting me get what I want. I was very close to speaking up if Teresa didn’t move and let me see Teresa. That all I want, nothing more and nothing less. Naomi is right there and reaching grasp but Teresa is blocking the way. The more I thought like this the more I was building up the courage to interrupt their argument.
That’s exactly what I happened to do next, “Teresa please just let the poor girl do it herself.”
Hearing me talk to her Teresa looked up at me. She looked like she was going to fight me but I think she saw the desperation that I knew was written all over my face. She just nodded and stepped aside for Naomi to get out of the car. I watched as two little feet started to poke out of the car doorway. This was the exact moment that my heart stopped just like all those other times. I’m beginning to think if my heart stops one more time there might just be something wrong with me.
Then next second seemed like years when she started to pull herself out of the car. I put on the biggest smile when she was fully out but she didn’t see this because she was too busy smoothing out her clothes. When she was finished she slowly raised her head to look at me.
The next thing that happened made me the happiest man alive.
