My stepmother, Laura, is the greatest and I really mean that. Of course, she can never really replace my mother, but she's a good friend nonetheless. Then again, she has always been a good friend. She is 26 years old, only four years older than I am. I remember starting high school and she was the single most popular girl in school. I, on the otherhand, was a nerdy dork of a freshman that got teased somewhat often. She never did, in fact she was my senior buddy. She took me to various school events like football and basketball games. She even honored me by being my first date to my first ever dance: the Winter Formal. Yes, I know it seems a bit unrealistic, but she became my best friend and she took quite a liking to me.
Four years have passed since then and I am happy to say that I have outgrown my nerdy stage of life. I'm 6'0" and weigh 185 pounds. I'm pretty muscular with broad shoulders and a six-pack. I also have short brown hair and blue eyes, which the girls just love. It's amazing what a few years and some working out will do for a guy.
After I had graduated high school, my father, who had been single, yet dating, for six long years told me that he was getting married again. I had no idea who it might be since my father and I had an agreement: "You don't ask about my dates and I don't ask about yours."
"Chris," he said, "I know this may shock you, but your friend Laura and I have gotten pretty close. In fact, I've asked her to marry me and she accepted."
Now, I went through some mixed feelings. Laura had been my best friend, not to mention the first female I was ever attracted to. Then again, for my dad to land such a gorgeous woman such as Laura at his age, is very impressive. To hell with that, I was jealous, but we talked it through and I eventually relented as any good son would.
After the wedding, Laura and I picked up right where we began: as best friends. Unfortunately, at the end of a fun-filled summer, I was off to college not to see her for months at a time.
A year has gone by and my father passed away a few months ago in a plane crash. This event devestated Laura and me. As I sit on the train back home, I refuse to fly, I can only think one thing: I would be returning home soon and Laura and me would have some catching up to do. I know it might sound morbid, but I think I shall comfort Laura in my own way. I will comfort her they I have wanted to for over five years.
The train arrives at the station and I see her waiting for me. She smiles as I get off the train. I still think she's the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes upon. She seems extremely happy to see me and I know that I'm happy to see her...
