I would do anything for him. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this to happen. When my mother broke us up, she returned his class ring that he had given me to his mother.

I look to our future with much hope and optimism. I am so happy: A wonderful Sudanese musician who brought out the best in me every day. His presence in my life was like the sun shining in. When he performed, he sang for me only. I was working in Sudan at the time, we were going to get married and have beautiful children and live happily ever after.
There was a war going on, I was working with war-affected children and the government kicked me out. I was devastated and cried for 6 months. We did not manage to meet up again and we both married unhappily. Last week, after 14 years, we were reunited for 2 days and the love is as strong as ever. I feel so blessed.

My dream of gracefully growing old with him is coming true after all…. I am so happy. The feelings and emotions came flooding back with a vengeance: In a nutshell we shared chemistry and a sexual tension that was palpable to those around us. We occasionally kissed sometimes passionately , but never crossed the line from friends to lovers.
After three years of being friends, hanging out and helping each other here and there our friendship blossomed into something more. We finally shared a kiss that was undeniable. Sadly, parental disapproval was the cause for me leaving my love. We drifted apart and our contact to each other became less and less. We recently reconnected and decided to meet one afternoon and get caught up on the intervening years, nothing more.
What happened next was so unexpected. The feelings and emotions came flooding back with a vengeance. It was as if our relationship had been placed on hold.

I had just killed it on my trial show, where they determine if you can go on the real program. Carlo kept butting in to the conversation. He had something to say about everything. And yet we ended up flirting with each other. I had already won on the show, but the next taping day I went on and lost. Before I left, I gave Deb my phone number. I watched the episode at home.
Three weeks later, I called Carlo we both lived in the L. He had mentioned he worked at a movie theater and I thought, Hey, free movies!
