SHERIDAN'S LOVE DIARY

"Love wins every time 2" I remember the incident of walking in on Luis in the men's locker room like it was only yesterday. It started a chain of events that began to change our relationship, for the better. I remember after catching Luis naked, out of embarrassment I put up my defenses. I yelled at him that the doors at the youth center weren't clearly marked. He just smiled and practically accused me of walking in on him on purpose! He smugly asked me if I saw anything I liked. Well of course I did but I wasn't about to tell him that. He had his nerve back then. He could really get to me. I should have known then how deep my feelings for him were. I really enjoyed the sight of him though, he is 'blessed'! But I never would have guessed that we would ever become engaged. I almost on several occasions told Luis about my nightmare. I should have confided in him sooner. He would never do anything to hurt me. I almost told him that day at the youth center. Shortly after I walked into the locker room, the director of the center (or should I say dictator, as I thought of him in those days) ordered all hte doors painted and lettered. I knew the painting and lettering were for my benefit. The locker room door was painted bright red. Everytime I looked at the locker room I remembered..... and my face got as red as the paint they used on the door. Well there was another sign that Luis neglected to put up. A WET PAINT sign. I accidentally pushed on the door and got red paint all over my hands. When I looked down on them they were covered in red. I started to slip into my old nightmare where I had blood stains on my hands. I started to cry and say I was so sorry. Luis and Hank were both puzzled by my actions. Luis was even more curious. I had to be careful. I tried to wipe off the paint. It wouldn't come off. I had to try to control myself. I went into the ladies room to clean up and calm down. Hank got some turpentine for me. I knew one thing for sure. I was going to find out the truth behind my nightmare if it was the last thing I ever did. I had to do it fast because judging by the look on Luis' face he was not going to let this go. If only I had known then that I could trust him.....I may have saved myself a lot of grief. He would never hurt me or cause me pain. I know he will always be faithful, unlike the Crane men. I just hope Julian and Father are sincere in wishing us the best on our engagement. I can only pray............... << Back | Next >>
