JUST SMILE
Written by: Erin M. Blair
--------------------------------------------
I thought that my life was an utter mess because
two women that I loved so much was gone from
my life.
The first woman to leave me was my mother. She
was apparently abducted by forces unknown. Forces
unknown, Jeff? You know that your mother were
abducted by aliens.
The second woman to leave me was my lover for
three years, Melanie Alomar. She was transferred
to the Salt Lake City Field Office. We were
partners before she accepted that transfer. She
was devastated to leave me, and I wished her well.
Now I have them back into my life.
My existence revolves around that old saying, "If you
love her, set her free. If she returns to you, then
its meant to be." They both returned to me.
My life has some meaning now. It's great to
feel loved. I'm happy. I'm satisfied of how my
life turned out to be.
As I watch the birds fly, I can see their
beauty now. It's all because Melanie
returned to me.
I'm in love with her. I want to shout to the world
that I'm in love with Special Agent Melanie Rose
Alomar. She's the best thing to ever happen to me.
I'm sitting on our bench, waiting for her. There's
something that I have to ask her.
From a distance, I can see the sun beaming down on
her auburn hair. Her red highlights sparkle like
rubies.
"Jeff, what are you smiling about?" Melanie asked
as she sat down beside me.
"I was just smiling about how happy I've been for the
last few weeks."
Melanie smiled. "I know how that feels. I'm glad that
I'm back here in D.C. with you."
"Like your job teaching forensic medicine at
Quantico?"
"That too," she said softly, turning to face
me. I wrapped my arms around her neck, slidding
my hands through her thick auburn enjoying the
soft sensual feel of it. "I love you."
"I love you too." I look into her warm blue eyes,
and I know how much I love her. She makes me feel so
alive. When I first saw her, I knew that she was the
one for me.
I'm going to ask her to marry me. I reached into my
coat pocket, and took out the diamond engagement ring.
"Melanie?"
"Yes?
"Will you marry me?"
*There I said it!*
*Will she say yes?*
"Yes! I'll marry you!" Melanie exclaimed, as she excitedly
kissed me. I put the ring on her finger, and watched how
it sparkled against her creamy skin.
If I was happy before, I'm thrilled now!
Melanie said "yes" to my marriage proposal, and I'm
now engaged to the most beautiful woman in my life.
I'm just smiling of how everything in my life seems
to be perfect now.
End of Vignette
Author's Notes: This was a challenge from
the Spenderfic Mailing List to write about
a happy Jeffrey Spender. I hope you like it!
I thought that it'll be a good idea to have
this story as a sequel to my first Spender
story entitled "Spender's Surprise."
