The Perfect Day Part 6: Rachel and Carl
Recap: When we last left Kolby and Carl, Kolby wanted answers about Rachel. Who was she? Kolby was not pleased with Carl. Carl came clean and told Kolby the truth about his relationship with this other woman. He went back to let her know she was an old friend he had not seen and one thing led to another and it got romantic but that it was over. In the meantime, Rachel was sulking in her hotel when she got the call to leave town from Kolby. Now on to Part 6. Here is where we learn more about Rachel and Carl.
Rachel Smith stood in her office looking at the same page in her file. It was no use she just could not keep her mind on her work. Since getting back to Chicago Rachel could not stop thinking about Carl.
Why do I put myself in this situation?
Carl made his choice.
As terrible as it may have been.
She shrugged her shoulders. Okay I need to concentrate. Enough of that.
Who am I kidding?
Damn you Carl!
Suddenly she began to go back to the past. Rachel thought about the night Carl kissed her.
He glared into her eyes.
Then he kissed her slowly and so passionately while stroking her long hair.
It had been a very steamy relationship from the start.
Carl Jameson had always been in her heart. However, things never worked out between them since they went to different colleges. Still Rachel never forgot about him. Carl always supported Rachel. Once they began working together they were always on the same page when it came to the cases they litigated together. It was very easy for them to come together.
Also their undeniable chemistry was like those you see in epic romantic movies.
I know it sounded too good to be true, but both Carl and Rachel looked like they had come out of one of those so addicting romance books.
But it was all a dream. Rachel realized it the moment she went out to look for him in New
York.
She had read all the papers of the wedding that never happened. For some reason Rachel thought Carl had gotten cold feet because of her.
How could I have been so stupid?
Yeah, he stopped the wedding for you.
Rachel couldn’t stop crying.
Why am I even doing this now?
She decided to get back to her work.
Back in New York Carl was in his office and he was having thoughts about Rachel.
I just can’t get Rachel of my mind.
What is going on with me?
Just seeing her brought those od feelings back.
Carl thought about the first time he saw her in Chicago after not seeing her for so long after she took of for college.
Things had changed. Rachel was lovely, but it wasn’t just her outside beauty that he loved it was the kindness within her. She was somebody he could always talk too. Their natural chemistry was there from the start.
He recalled the first time they kissed. It seemed to have lasted for hours. As a matter of fact there was the day he got sick and she came to make sure he was okay.
Rachel made sure to drop off some soup and kept him informed of all that was going on at work.
Carl never wanted it to end with her.
But he made a choice.
Well I can’t have got back now.
Still the passion he had for her was there.
Rachel, why was I such a fool.
Carl was so caught up in his own thoughts he did not notice James coming in the door.
“My, my Carl, are you thinking about her?”
Carl looked right at James.
“What do you want James?”
“Now, now, there is no need to take such a tone.”
James gave Carl a smirk.
“Look James, I do not have time for your little games!”
“Whoa, calm down Carl!”
“Please see yourself out!”
“Alright I am leaving, but you know that I am right.”
“Right about what?”
“Rachel!”
Then James walked out the door.
Back in Chicago Rachel was about to go out the door when her cell phone rang.
Gosh I hope it isn’t Kolby.
She glanced at her phone and did not recognize the number.
Damn not this again.
Lord give me strength.
“Hello, this is Rachel Smith.”
“Ah, ah hey Rachel.”
Rachel could not believe her ears.
“Carl? Is that you?” Rachel asked.
“Yes, it’s me and we need to talk.”
Tune in Next week for Part 7 and see what happens next...
