Chapter Thirteen: Women and Elephants

I wake up, lazily spread over the couch.

 

I sit up, looking at the clock. It's 12:30. I must have taken a nap after I got sick. I couldn't remember much. I placed my palm gently on my stomach. I felt better, but something in me said that I was gonna upchuck later. Hastily, I grabbed a trashcan and brought it near the sofa.

 

I'm so sorry...

 

Her voice still echoed in my mind. I grabbed my ears and shook my head.

 

Stop with the apologizes!! Just shut up!!

 

She didn't listen. In fact, her last words slowly leaked in:

 

I'm glad you're okay! I really am!

 

I lowered my gaze to the floor.

 

It's been 2 years already...she MUST think I'm dead...right?

 

She's given up on me...right?

Right. She has to.

Unlike most women, she's got a good head on her shoulders.

 

....

 

That was sexist, wasn't it?

 

I'm sorry, but women give me a real hangup.

 

....maybe I can put that a little differently so as not to offend my female readers...

 

Okay, here's a good one: women are like elephants.

They are incredibly nice to look at, but I wouldn't want to own one.

 

....

 

What do you mean "What about Koda"? I have no idea what you're talking abo--....oh. You mean the "owning one" thing?

 

Well, no. I still dont wanna own a ele-woman.

 

But then again, Koda isn't an elephant.

 

She's...um...I don't know.

 

I don't know what she is. I could compare her to a doe, a dolphin, a dove, a swan...but all of those things would be an insult to how beautiful she is.

 

But one thing is for sure: I'd want more than anything to take her home in my arms and...oh yeah, children are reading this. Nevermind then. You get the idea.

 

I miss her. Alot. And I want her back.

 

But my dreams are all I have.

 

No...are all what we have.
