Finding Love Part 4
Things are moving a little faster than I had planned. Sorry for this short chapter.
Thank you for all your comments. I like how you guys responded to my question. As for Brian's age, he is the same age as Angel. I think that is all you need to know. Actually, I haven't really planned on their age. Okay, I know that might sound weird but I am being honest. If you guys really have problem with the age, let me know.
(Angel’s POV)
I thought about it the whole night, and I came to realize that I was depending on Brian too much. I wasn’t just worried about my conversation with mom, but something deep inside my heart was telling me that something was terribly wrong. Don’t ask me how, but I started feeling this emptiness inside. It was worse than before. I am not one of those people who can move on with life that easily. I loved Tanner with all that I had, but things still went wrong. Was I expecting too much of my life, or was life expecting too much of me? The answer didn’t really matter; the conclusion was still the same. My life was amiss. Every day I hoped that he would come but it suddenly hit me, as if I could see again; I realized the truth. He had moved on with his life, and I was supposed to do the same. Life doesn’t wait for any one. It just goes on and on. May be I was making a big deal out of things. It’s not like I am the only one who has been betrayed in love. Yes, betrayal was the exact word that suited this situation. It was what happened to me because of him. It was better if I just accept the fact.
I hadn’t checked my email in what seemed like forever. No, it was just few months. I hated checking email, knowing that there was going to be no email from him. I should just forget about him, but things aren’t that easy. It’s all so complicated. I am surviving with out it all, am I not? I checked my phone and surely there were like 4 SMS from Brian. He knew I loved reading his sweet SMS, so he always kept on sending me. I checked the first one and it said, Call me when you can, and rest of them said something similar. I wasn’t so sure what he meant. I mean he could just call me right, than why was he sending me like 4 SMS asking me to call him? Why don’t I just call him and see? But I couldn’t help but wonder if something was up. Something must be up, I decided.
In the first ring, he answered.
"Angle," he whispered.
"It’s me. Is something up? You know, you could have just called me, I would have answered you anytime."
"I know but I just….. Forget it."
"Forget what? Just tell me. You can tell me everything, you know that right?"
"I know, but this is different. I am so desperate to tell you this, but I can’t."
"You can just try. And why can’t you tell me?"
"Things got really weird today. I…. am…. I mean…"
"Listen, you have got to tell me what it is."
"I had a dream today where you were running away from me, as if you were afraid of me. I don’t know what came up, but it was really realistic. I…. I was so af-raid of loosing you."
"Just relax. I am right here, and I am not planning to leave you."
"You don’t understand and I can’t even explain this to you."
"If you can’t, it’s all right. Just take your time. Don’t worry, okay?"
"Kay," he took a slow, deep breath. He seemed nervous and afraid for some reason. I only want him to be happy. I feel so worthless, useless, and helpless. The feelings I have for him are so hard to understand, but one thing is for sure- it breaks my heart to see him sad. I am realizing what he means to me every single day! Oh my…. What is wrong with me? I can’t even figure myself out! This is pathetic.
"I am sorry I am disturbing you. You should be sleeping right now. It’s like 1A.M."
"You are way important than sleep. Don’t worry, I wasn’t sleepy any way."
"Again? What is wrong with you? You should get some more sleep. You need rest and you are-" I was surprised to see the change. Here I thought he was afraid, but now he was forgetting his own problem while trying to solve my own. My best friend was so caring, and I feel really fortunate to have him in my life. That was for sure.
"You love giving me lecture, don’t you?"
"Hum…" He pretended to be thinking. "It depends." I was happy to see him act normal again. Whatever he was going through, he seemed to handle himself again. He never ceases to surprise me and I loved him for that.
"I hate you!"
He chuckled. "You know, in order to hate someone, you must love that person before."
"You wish!"
He chuckled, but then stopped. There was a silence for a while. "I am a little worried about you. You will take care of yourself right?"
I laughed because he sounded so serious. It was hilarious to see him like that. "Whatever. It’s not like you are never going to see me again. We see each other every day!"
"But it’s still not enough," he still sounded serious.
"I agree." I can just imagine him smiling. He always smiled when I agree with something that he feels.
"You would better sleep now. You need to rest more and take more care of yourself. And…." He stopped mid sentence, as if he wasn’t sure if he should say this or not. For some reason, my heart was beating really fast, like I knew what he was going to say even before he said it himself.
"And?" I asked, still afraid and excited for some unknown reason.
"I- I love- I love you," I realized that I was holding my breath before he said that. I was shocked and relieved. The more I thought about it, the more confusing it got. Did I hear him right, or was I just imagining this whole thing. Or maybe he was just saying it as a friend. No, that couldn’t be the reason. I know him, and he is not like that. He has never said that before to me, but why now? For some reason, I was glad he did. It made me feel something…. Deep and lasting, as my mom called it. Who was I kidding? It is impossible!
Before I could say anything, I realized that he just hung up the phone. It made it even more obvious than before that he was serious. I couldn’t stop think if it was just a dream. Suddenly, as if in movies, my flash back of Brian started. He was always so wonderful, amazing, sweet, and cute. He was everything that I have always wanted. I never realize how much I actually care for this guy, and I have never realized how much he meant to me. His smiling face was on my mind. His perfect dimple made him even more charming. I have never looked at him that way. His gray eyes were so beautiful, mysterious, and so filled with warmth and love. Yes, love. Why didn’t I notice it before? I could easily imagine him saying "I love you", with a cute nervous expression in his face. He was so gorgeous. I slowly closed my eyes, and there he was again! He was still saying that he loved me, making me giggle with delight, and I just couldn’t help but smile. I slept with a big, smile on my face. I didn’t care what I was going to say to him, or what I was going to do. Each day had its own problem, and I will leave this problem for tomorrow. I just wanted to stay this way. I even dream of him, and saying that he loved me, even in my dreams! I wasn’t sure how, or why, but for some reason Tanner was the furthest thing from my mind.

Finding Love

I have never given much thought to the word love. At least not until I met the one I thought was for me, but it seems like that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. Things changed with time. Almost everything changes with time but only one thing remains inside our hearts. No matter how hard we try, we can never remove that from our life. It’s a part of our heart, and maybe part of our soul as well. Happiness, sadness, pain, almost everything comes from that one single word. Love
I have always expected a simple life, but look what I got. The one guy whom I thought loved me, and I loved him as well, betrayed me. He is so far away that I can’t even reach him. I have no idea where he is at the moment but one thing is for sure, he took my heart with him and I can never get it back. All the memories that I shared with him remain, even when he is gone. If I will ever meet him again, I will like to ask him a question, what exactly did I do wrong? He meant so much to me, could he not see that? Was there something wrong with my love? Did I not give him all that I have? Everything that I ever have, I gave it to him without expecting anything in return except for his love. I know that he loved me but then why did he leave me without even saying a word. Just the very thought of him makes me smile and cry. Everything was so perfect, why did he have to leave me without telling me why? I have never loved anyone the way I loved him. I was willing to do anything he wanted me to. My family, friends meant nothing compare to him. I see him every single day in my dreams. Each time, I find him going away from me. Don’t you see how much I need you?
It’s impossible to imagine myself without him. I am willing to do anything to have him back in my life. The day we met, when he first kissed me, when he said he loved me- everything is so fresh in my mind like it was just yesterday instead of 6 months. Each day has been painful to live without him by my side. Please come back, my heart screams the word again and again, but he still hasn’t come. I am so crazy about him, how can he do this to me? Does he have any idea how much it hurts to not see his face, and not have him close to me? His face is still on my mind with all the little details. I remember everything about him. He made me fall for him deeply and he even promised to be with me forever. Everything was false, lies. It’s all wrong. What did I ever do to deserve this? My heart is screaming, and crying in pain. Can’t things ever get better? He has to come now; otherwise it will be too late. Everything will be different. No matter how much I want to, I will not be able to stop this. Please come back….. Please come to me….. I can’t take this any longer. How can you leave me? I love you, and I can only love you. Forgive me if I ever did anything wrong to you. I love you, and that’s all I really know. I don’t think my heart can take this any longer. My heart is not strong enough to face all this alone. I need you. I want you. Can’t you see what I have become without you? I hate to be here, I hate every minute of it. You said you loved me, but how can you be gone.
You have to come back….
I really need you…..
With all my heart, I love you….
Take me away from all this…..
I promise to love you forever…..
Please come back…..

Megan knew her death was coming, and was extremely worried about her daughter. She knew she hadn’t been a good example to her daughter but there was very little she could do. It seemed to be too late to do anything. She was running out of time. She had watched her daughter crying almost every night but she knew it was for the best. Tanner was not the right guy for her daughter. She had hoped that her daughter will get over him, but she never did. It’s like her daughter is trapped, and she is not willing to let anyone help her.
Who can understand love well then Megan did? She had also felled for a wrong man, and she didn’t want the history to repeat itself over again.
Once death is near, everything starts to make sense. Megan knew there was no turning back in life but there was one very important task that needed to be done. She needed to show love to her daughter again. A mother only wants the best for her child even when her child might not see it. When it’s the right time, her daughter will see it. That was for sure.
Ever since Tanner went away, her daughter has changed. Her sweet daughter was becoming bitter. Love was really blind. It made her daughter blind, and did the same to her. But no matter what, she will not let her daughter live a life without love. There was only one way to bring love in Angel’s life again. There was only one man who loved Angel enough to do that for her. He wasn’t just any guy; he was unique and so loveable. Megan couldn’t see how her daughter could still be in love with Tanner after seeing a guy like Brian. Brain was everything a girl could ever wish for; but only her naïve daughter could not see it. And most importantly he was in love with Angel. What can a girl ever wish for? It was so obvious that Brian was in love with Angel, but only Angel could not see it. Somehow Megan had to bring them together, before things change. She will not be able to die peacefully until her most important task was done.
******************************************************************************
"Get ready, we are going out for dinner," Brian said for the fifth time, but Angel still wasn’t willing to listen.
"I really don’t want to go. Please understand," Angel begged.
Her reaction made Brian chuckle. "You are going out with me, and that’s all there is."
Angel knew full well that it wasn’t worth arguing with Brian. Even though he was her best friend, he never stopped annoying her. He loved making her do things she didn’t want to. He was so sweet that it was impossible to say no to him.
"Fine. You won like usual. Now, let me get ready,"
Brian gave her his best smile, making her smile as well. "I will be waiting outside."
She wasn’t outgoing type. Well, at least she became this way ever since Tanner……. She didn’t want to think about it. Brian was always there for her, and she needed to go out and be happy for him. It seemed like all Brain ever wants is to make Angel happy. That’s what true friends are for, Angel thought to herself.

The Secret of Lasting Love? Just Answer 25 Simple Questions
The Secret of Lasting Love? Just Answer 25 Simple Questions
The course of true love never did run smooth and now scientists know why. Love, according to a new theory, is not a matter of lightning bolts or raw sexual desire but of pornography and politics.
Its proponents, who claim to be able to predict marital happiness, say society has the recipe for love all wrong: opposites do not attract. Instead, the only way to a life of happiness together is to share a single opinion, or more specifically, 25 of them.
'Society today goes around the matter of finding love in the completely wrong way,' said Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at the University of London and co-author of The Science of Love .
'We tend to dismiss people who don't fit the blueprint of perfection in our heads but our research proves that true love is doomed unless we have a number of what might appear to be mundane and obscure things in common.
'There is obviously an area of love that involves chemistry and animal attraction,' Wilson said. 'But our research found 24 areas where - unless the couples felt almost identically - their relationship would be in trouble before long.'
Wilson has spent two decades applying the science of psychometric testing to the art of love, and devised the Compatibility Quotient, or CQ, test by studying the most severe causes of marital friction on test couples and whittling down the list to 25 vital areas.
He is so confident of the value of his CQ test that he and Jon Cousins, the former creative director of an advertising company, have founded Cybersuitors.com, an internet dating agency which uses the theory to match clients.
Each applicant is asked their opinion on each one of the 25 areas, and given five different answers to choose from. Each reply is compared with those of every other member on the database, and a list is produced of those with most similarities.
'We have found that the CQ score is a virtual predictor of marital happiness,' said Cousins, who found love himself on the site shortly after it launched six weeks ago.
'Even though I helped devise the test, I would not necessarily have applied such a cut-and-dried approach to my own life until it happened almost by accident.'
After completing his own test, Cousins found he shared a CQ score of 134 with another member, 34 points higher than the 100 indicating average compatibility.
'I could not resist contacting her to see if this magic formula would work for me and, although it is still early days, it is certainly a deeper relationship than any I have been in for a long time,' he said.
Nick Auchincloss and his girlfriend, Vicky, met on the site in mid-April. 'I have usually gone for girls because of an emotional and instant attraction,' he said.
'I was sceptical about this test because it asked things I would never have thought I cared about, either in myself or my partner, but which I have now realised are pretty important to a relationship if you want it to last.'
Auchincloss contacted Vicky after their responses scored 138. 'Our relationship is already stronger than my usual experiences,' he said. 'Knowing we feel the same about these basic issues gives me an objective trust in her individually and in us together,' he said.
Wilson admitted that although it was important for couples to share a range of common interests and values - including views on the type of relationship they wanted, children, sexual fidelity and leisure activities - he was surprised by some of the areas in which concordance was vital for long-term happiness.
'Differing opinions on pornography and politics were most likely to spell disaster in any long-term relationship. Women were eight times more likely to admit their relationship was unhappy if their view on pornography differed from their partner's,' he said.
'The big issue with men was if their woman was more, or less, experienced in bed than they were: that spelt long-term unhappiness for 40 per cent of men.'
Couples who like similar food were three times likelier to stay happy than those whose taste buds clashed, while those agreeing on what to watch on TV were three and a half times more likely to experience marital bliss than those who vie for control of the remote.
Also vital for conjugal harmony was agreement over the value of chivalry - 'that's our way of discovering what they feel about feminism,' said Wilson - and a shared desire for pets.
There is, however, one area where it was better to disagree: alcohol. Cousins said: 'Partnerships where one member drank heavily and the other abstained were deeply content.
'While other differences seemed to lead inevitably to unhappiness in long-term relationships, differences in drinking habits brought couples closer together.'

Conjure up Romance: Basic Steps in Love Spell Casting
Conjure up Romance: Basic Steps in Love Spell Casting
Conjure up Romance: Basic Steps in Love Spell Casting
Enlarge Image
The casting of a love spell is a powerful thing. The combination of words and action can lead to magic and change your life forever. Spell casting has been used for centuries by love struck individuals wanting to take charge of their destiny and alter the course of their lives. The power of a love spell is not to be taken lightly. Before attempting to cast a spell on the one you love, learn the basics of spell casting.
The first step in spell casting is to think about what it is that you would like to see happen. It is crucial that you be very clear about what changes you would like to create. It is reckless behavior to cast a spell on an innocent person for the wrong reasons, and your harmful actions can in turn bring about bad karma. To avoid this, examine your reasons for wanting to cast a spell and know exactly what outcome it is you are looking for.
The second stage in spell casting involves eliminating what it is that is blocking you from your love. Perhaps the one you love has been hurt before and is wary of falling in love again? Or perhaps the person you have always adored is simply blind to your affection and needs to be given the chance to see you in a different light. The elimination stage allows you to proceed with your spell casting, but be aware that it is not always easy to move past this stage. In order to discover your barriers, you can use one of two techniques: meditation or pendulum work. Both techniques involve quieting your mind and accessing a means of communication with your inner self. To achieve either of these states, practice a simple meditation technique by sitting calmly with your legs crossed and concentrate on one small part of your body. As you concentrate on the tip of your nose, for instance, your mind will drift away from the immediate and conscious world and will move beyond, to your subconscious mind. Whether you meditate quietly in this fashion or use a pendulum to will yourself into a state of near hypnosis, your aim is to delve into your subconscious to find the true cause of what is preventing you from being with your great love.
Before deciding on which basic love spell to use in your quest for love, go through the necessary cleansing process. This involves finding a room that can symbolically serve as your special place, and with only candlelight to guide you, rinse your hands clean of any potential negative energy and residue. To prepare a cleansing mixture, simply mix warm water with salt.
As you learn more about how to cast a powerful love spell, know that there are many spells that may be the perfect way to change your life. As mentioned, do not attempt to cast a spell without first taking these few measures. Also know that a spell is given its strength through the sheer power of your mind. You must believe in the spell you are casting and you must concentrate in order to successfully find love. Good luck and may you find true and everlasting love!

The first step in spell casting is to think about what it is that you would like to see happen. It is crucial that you be very clear about what changes you would like to create. It is reckless behavior to cast a spell on an innocent person for the wrong reasons, and your harmful actions can in turn bring about bad karma. To avoid this, examine your reasons for wanting to cast a spell and know exactly what outcome it is you are looking for.
The second stage in spell casting involves eliminating what it is that is blocking you from your love. Perhaps the one you love has been hurt before and is wary of falling in love again? Or perhaps the person you have always adored is simply blind to your affection and needs to be given the chance to see you in a different light. The elimination stage allows you to proceed with your spell casting, but be aware that it is not always easy to move past this stage. In order to discover your barriers, you can use one of two techniques: meditation or pendulum work. Both techniques involve quieting your mind and accessing a means of communication with your inner self. To achieve either of these states, practice a simple meditation technique by sitting calmly with your legs crossed and concentrate on one small part of your body. As you concentrate on the tip of your nose, for instance, your mind will drift away from the immediate and conscious world and will move beyond, to your subconscious mind. Whether you meditate quietly in this fashion or use a pendulum to will yourself into a state of near hypnosis, your aim is to delve into your subconscious to find the true cause of what is preventing you from being with your great love.
Before deciding on which basic love spell to use in your quest for love, go through the necessary cleansing process. This involves finding a room that can symbolically serve as your special place, and with only candlelight to guide you, rinse your hands clean of any potential negative energy and residue. To prepare a cleansing mixture, simply mix warm water with salt.
As you learn more about how to cast a powerful love spell, know that there are many spells that may be the perfect way to change your life. As mentioned, do not attempt to cast a spell without first taking these few measures. Also know that a spell is given its strength through the sheer power of your mind. You must believe in the spell you are casting and you must concentrate in order to successfully find love. Good luck and may you find true and everlasting love!

Love Me, Not Too Much
Love Me, Not Too Much
Love is nourishment, not only for the heart but also for body and soul. Nobody in this world can live without love. But can they live with an overdose of love?
When you have moved into a deep relationship with somebody, a great need arises to be alone. You start feeling spent, exhausted and tired - joyously tired, happily tired - but each excitement is exhausting. It was tremendously beautiful to relate, but now you would like to move into aloneness, so that you can again gather yourself together, so that again you can overflow with love, so that again you become rooted in your own being.
In love, you moved into the other's being and lost contact with yourself. You drowned, you were drunk. Now you will need to find yourself again. But when you are alone, you are again creating a need for love. Soon you will be so full that you would like to share, you will be so overflowing that you would like somebody to pour yourself into.
Love arises out of aloneness. Aloneness makes you overfull. Love receives your gifts. Love empties you so that you can become full again. Whenever you are emptied by love, aloneness is there to nourish you, to integrate you. And this is a rhythm.
I am bringing you a new message. Remain choicelessly alert in your life, and become intelligent rather than changing circumstances. Change your psychology, become more intelligent. More intelligence is needed to be blissful! And then you can have aloneness together with relationship.
Make your woman or your man also alert to rhythm. People should be taught that nobody can love 24 hours a day; rest is needed. And nobody can love on order. Love is a spontaneous phenomenon: whenever it happens, it happens, and whenever it doesn't happen, it doesn't. Nothing can be done about it. If you DO anything, you will create a pseudo phenomenon, an act.
Real, intelligent lovers will alert each other to the phenomenon: 'When I want to be alone that doesn't mean that I am rejecting you. In fact, it is because of your love that you have made it possible for me to be alone.'
If your woman wants to be left alone for one night, for a few days, you will not feel hurt. You will not say that you have been rejected. You will respect her decision to be alone for a few days. In fact, you will be happy! Your love was so much that she is feeling empty; now she needs rest to become full again. This is intelligence.

5 Loving Actions that Will Keep Your Love Alive
5 Loving Actions that Will Keep Your Love Alive
Today’s fast-paced lifestyles often don’t leave room for couples to nurture the intimacy that is crucial for healthy relationships. Learn how to incorporate simple, loving steps into your daily life that will protect your romantic union against the stresses that so often erode relationships.
It’s no secret that modern life is fast-paced and getting faster every day. In this world, relationships—and all the work they require—can easily be seen as inefficient, time-consuming and simply not gratifying enough. For your relationship to have a healthy chance at survival, you must take steps to nurture the simple, loving aspects of your union.
5 actions that are essential for your relationship:
1. Hellos and good-byes
Greeting your partner and saying good-bye are quick and easy to do but often overlooked in the chaos of hectic schedules. A warm, expressive greeting can set the stage for the entire day. An affectionate "good-bye" allows you and your partner to emotionally hold on to loving feelings while separated from each other. You’d be surprised how often couples skip this simple way to book-end their days. It may seem easier to put all your morning energies into catching the 7:15 train and overlook taking the time to stop, make eye contact with your partner and genuinely wish him/her a good day. Don’t fall into this trap.
2. Share the trivialities of life
Think back to a time when your relationship was new. What did you and your partner talk about? Probably anything and everything. The excitement of new love propels us to share even the smallest details of our day. Unfortunately that level of sharing often dwindles as relationships mature and responsibilities mount. Focus on the act of sharing to refuel intimacy. The simple act itself is more important than the specifics of what is shared. So make it a habit to share the trivialities of your day with your partner.
3. Learn to laugh together
Shared laughter is a surefire way to keep the connection with your partner vibrant. When you laugh, you’re tapping into the playful energy that transcends life’s stresses. When you and your partner make each other laugh, this energy feeds intimacy and life becomes a little less daunting. Make time for mutual playfulness and make fun of life’s absurdities —this will help you both cope with stress, develop perspective and achieve a greater sense of togetherness.
4. Communicate through Touch
Touch is a powerful way to communicate affection and foster intimacy. Whether you’re sitting across from each other at the dinner table or next to your partner on the sofa, make the effort to increase the amount you touch one another. Touch also has a calming effect on our bodies, so if you want to create a relaxed, loving atmosphere and make your partner feel special, lean into each other the next time you’re at the movies or watching TV.
5. Show your appreciation
It’s human nature to want to be recognized for the things we do. When you express gratitude, your partner receives the message that you are thankful and are not taking him/her for granted. An atmosphere of appreciation will create positive feelings and deepen your connection. Don’t fall prey to the expectation-mindset, where you start to believe that your partner is supposed to do all the things s/he does and therefore doesn’t need to be thanked for them—this mindset creates a dangerous atmosphere of complacency that erodes intimacy.
These five loving acts don’t take much time and don’t cost a dime—but the payoff is huge. You will be taking steps to protect your marriage or relationship from the fast-paced tempo of life.
Is your relationship worth protecting? Are you ready to make your marriage everything it can be?
