ALEX

I am sitting by her grave trying to find the right words to tell her. I have been coming here every month since she died but today is different, I am here to say goodbye because I have made a decision to move on.

Janet died five years ago she was attacked and killed by unknown people one Friday night on her way to my place. Her death shattered my life, she was my first love and we had so many plans for the future.

For years I have blamed myself for her death, if she had stayed home that night she would still be alive.

What hurts the most is that we haven’t been able to find who killed her. I feel like I have failed her.

I open my mouth to speak but quickly close it. I don’t know where to start from.

‘She would have wanted you to move on,’ I hear a familiar voice from behind startled I turn to find her
sister.

‘Janice!’

‘Hey,’ she smiles.

‘It’s been a while I didn’t know you came back.’

‘I came back two days ago and I decided to visit my baby sister today.’

‘What a coincidence.’

‘Ya.’

She places the flowers in her hands at the head of the grave then joins her hands with mine.

‘Let us pray.’

We bow slightly in prayer.

After the prayer she looks at me directly in the eyes, ‘my sister wants you to move on it’s been five years

Alex. You should move on. She doesn’t blame you for her death, we don’t blame you either.’

I sigh, ‘It’s hard but I am now moving on, I found someone,’ I say

‘You did?’ she smiles

‘Yes.’

‘I would like to meet before I go back to the states.’

‘Sure.’

‘I am happy for you Alex and I am sure Janet is happy for you too.’

‘Thank you.’

She pulls me into her arms and engulfs me into a tight hug. I close my eyes and a breeze of air rushes past me.

Just as suddenly as it began, it was over. I can’t help myself as I moan and nearly scream as he lets me go. It’s been a while since I have been with any man, I feel relived and satisfied.

‘You are okay?’ he asks

‘Yes.’

He smiles

‘You never disappoint.’

He rolls out of the bed picks his clothes and quickly gets dressed.

I get up too and wrap a towel around my body. I reach for my purse and take out some money. I hand it to him.

‘Will that be enough for you?’

He counts the money and smiles, ‘More than enough.’

‘Good.’

‘I better get going before the guys start calling me.’ 

I walk him out of the house to the front door. He leans in and kisses me before he walks out of the door.
