Shaking her head, she said, "No. No I'm not. I don't want to ruin the good memories with such thoughts as that. It would just prolong my pain. I choose to live in the now, not in my past. I can't change what happened. Trying to find things that might not be there won't bring him back, so, I accept what happened, and now, here I am. Living my life"

"Way cool!", he said, then clearing his throat, he gathered his composure, and said, "Excuse me. I mean, that is very good that you are strong enough to do that. I am intrigued"

"My my, such big words for a young man, like you", Makensie said, with a smile.

He laughs , and said, "What can I say? I am growing up fast"

With a slight pause, as they took a drink of their beverage of choice, he asks, "Do anything wild last summer, Makensie?"

"I didn't know that was the topic of this story", she said, chuckling.

"This is off the record. You just seem to have some amazing stories behind those eyes", he said.

"You are quite the charmer, I see. Actually, I do have some wild stories, but, as mature as you are, you are still quite young to be hearing of such things", she said, taking a sip of her coffee.

"Ok, fine fine fine,you win! I really enjoyed listening to you. Most have the same thing to say, but, although, sad, such mystery in there too. Very nice. I enjoyed this. Thank you", he said, with excitement.

"You are quite welcome. Thank you for allowing me to tell that story. It isn't often that I speak parts of my life", she said.

He smiles, gathering his notes, and said, "I am sure you have many more tales to tell. Maybe another time, you would be willing to tell, should I have another Column up"

"Yes, perhaps", she said, with a friendly smile.

Cyrus Magglio thanked Makensie for her time, and with that, was off to the next person to interview.

The waitress walks up, smiles, and said, "The kid is quite the charmer, isn't he?"

*more*

"That he is", Makensie responded, paying her bill, and leaving a generous tip.

"See ya next time you're in New Yawk, Makensie Brewuh", the waitress said, in a heavy New York tone, at times.

"You got it", Makensie said, finishing her coffee.

Looking out the window again, watching the people walk by, she again thought back to last summer.

She left alot of things out, but that moment was what stuck out the most of that summer. The short time of being engaged to the most amazing man, and the fun they had together.

It was a summer of love, and hot, passionate romance. The wild, crazy times? Well, that's for another story, and might be too much for anyone to write about.

Chuckling at that thought, she grabbed her coat, and headed out onto the busy streets of New York, smiling at a young man who was hollering out,

"Getchur city news, right here! Step on up! City News! Getchur mornin' papuh!! Read all abouttit!!"

Full of summer memories, she weaved in and out of the people walking toward her, on their daily, busy hustle and bustle of life.

Way to immediately get yourself tossed out of the competetion Mak. Of course I know why you did it. After reading my entry you realized that you can't possibly win but you wanted to put something up and used that as an excuse for losing to me! ;-)

I challenge everyone out there to try and beat me, but this time try to stay within the rules! ;-)

Apr-9-2009 13:41

you found me out ctown! *shakes head* good luck to everyone - dont do as i do though!

tk, do we get prizes for knowing how to immediately get ourselves thrown out of a contest? I think that deserves a free sub , like one year or something. I dont know...just sayin....*shrugs* :P

Apr-9-2009 19:02

Oh! I just thought you'd entered multiple times ;)

Apr-9-2009 20:32

Umm, just a friendly reminder, there is a 2000 character limit, that's one box.

Also as this is an essay about what you did last summer, it should be in the 1st person, not the 3rd person perspective. (I admit I didn't make that clear in the rules, sorry).

And thirdly, remember when I say "bribe" I mean cold hard cash, not just nice PMs.

Looking forward to seeing more entries!
;)
