MM: Gul, when did you get this? Last I remembered you had graduated from college and ate PB&J for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
CT4: Just like Black folks, you don't READ. I wrote a book and it BLEW UUUUUUUUP. I stayed in GC because it was home. I am working on my second book now.
MM: So what has Kelli been up to?
CT4: Well in between crying over your DISAPPEARING ACT, she got her masters in something with computers. Now she is CIO @ GC General Hospital. She is having her house built and from what I can tell, RAIN MAN is close to proposing to her. Oh and we both advise the GC chapter of DST.
MM: It will be a frosty day in hell with icicles and snow before KELLI marries Rain Man.
CT4:  So what you gonna do about it, bruh?
MM: Imma remind her of her love for me.
CT4: How?
MM: I don't know.
CT4: Well you betta hurry up!
The doorbell rings and CT4 runs to answer it where she sees Kelli waiting on the doorstep with Rain Man. She hugs Kelli, but ignores Rain Man. She cannot wait until MM makes his appearance.
Kelli: Hey girl, is dinner ready?
CT4: No, I umm was occupied. I hit a man today and my mind was on that.
RM: Did you kill him?
CT4: No this was a big man with big hands and feets, he bounced right up.
Kelli: Was he cute girl?
CT4: Slap yo mama fine!!
Kelli: Did you get his number?
CT4: Nope. He told me his heart already belonged to a good woman. He said she was the only woman he had ever loved.
Kelli: DAyum. For real?
CT4: Yeah, he showed me like 6 pics of her and him in his wallet. You could hear the love for her in his voice.
Kelli (replied dreamily): Must be nice.
RM: I have a pic of you in my wallet.
Kelli: Uh huh. That's nice. . .
Kelli's mind was on HIM. DAMMIT!! She had not thought of him in a week and for some reason all day today she had not been able to shake him from her thoughts. Kelli looked over at Rain Man and sighed. He was such a poor second choice. She had to get rid of him soon. He had feelings that she didn't.

Kelli turns to Rain Man. "You know what? I am going to spend the night here with CT4 tonight. So why don't you go on back to your place and I will talk to you tomorrow.
Rain Man: But, but, I have not ate yet!
CT4: I'll fix you a plate to go.
CT4 rushes to the kitchen and fixes RAIN MAN a quick plate to go. She catches a peek at MYSTERY MAN sitting in the shadows of her sunroom. She rushes back into her dining room and throws the to go plate at Rain Man. She walks him to the door.
CT4: See ya.
She slams the door in Rain Man's face and walks back into the dining room. She sits down next to Kelli.
Kelli: I miss him.
CT4: I know. I miss him too. He was like a brother to me.
Kelli: Lately he has been on my mind like crazy. It's like craaaaazy. I cannot eat or sleep. I should hate him like hell for leaving me. If I were to see him again, I would stab him with a rusty butter knife and then hug the hell out of him.
CT4: Girl, I would be right there with you. I would hug him and then kick him in his knee.
KElli: Girl I am just tired. Tired of being alone, tired of settling, tired of RAIN MAN. . .
CT4: Girl, I know but you know you always got me. But I know nothing like the love of a good man, the RIGHT MAN. . .
Kelli: Yeah and HE was the one. He was my soul mate. Spending time with him was like spending time with myself. I don't think I will ever be able to love like that again. What we had wsa special. I could not even begin to put it in words.
CT4: Do you think he was unhappy?
Kelli: No, I don't. I just wish I knew what made him up and leave.
CT4: Do you still love him?
KElli: Yeah.
CT4: If he ever came back, would you take him back.
Kelli: I don't know.. . /
CT4: You just said that you love him and will never love like that again. So if he returns and still feels for you what you feel for him, what will you do? Be honest because I know exactly how you feel.
Kelli: But what will everyone say? HE LEFT ME! HE HURT ME! How could I just pick up where we left off?
CT4: FUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGG what everyone else says or thinks!!! DO YOU! BE HAPPY!! Love that man and let him love you! Forgive him and then love him.
Kelli: I'm not sure if I can.
CT4: Girl if I ever have with a man what you had with him, I would be able to for the rest of my life. I saw the 2 of you together. You were like every real love story come to life. Folks write love stories every day, but YOU LIVED IT!! Don't let your pride stand in the way of loving him.
Kelli: You talk like you know he is coming bacl tomorrow or something.
CT4 (fake laugh): Girl naw I just want you to be open to love. And if it comes back to you, I want you to GRAB IT!!
Kelli: Okay I will.
Was the mystery man listening? Does he know that Kelli does not want Rain Man? Will he get his woman? Will she let him get her?
