Los Angles, California (PRWEB) June 25, 2013 -- Maggie slammed the door and yelled something about not needing to be babied. Bruce sighed. It hadn't always been like this he thought. Over a year ago when they met through MillionaireMatch.com things had been perfect. Him thirty-six and her twenty-two, their age difference of 16 years hadn't been a problem to either of them and Bruce had thought he finally felt the spark he had always been looking for between them. Now, he wondered if she hadn't just been pretending to love him just to get him to pay for her to finish college. All these thoughts ran through his head as he approached her door and knocked.
“Maggie, can we talk babe?”
“No, I told you I am busy. Some of us have to go to college” Bruce could hear Maggie furiously turning pages behind her door. He had to fight hard to keep his anger from rising due to her insult. He was after all a top executive at Apple. He worked as hard as anyone.
“Okay then...” Bruce shuffled with his head down back to what had until recently been his and Maggie's bedroom. Within a few minutes he was asleep, but he dreamed all night about Maggie.
The next day when Bruce got back from work in the evening Maggie was no where to be found. Just a few months ago she would have at least texted him. He was looking forward to making dinner for her tonight as an apology, but that would have to wait. He texted here 'where are you?' and rummaged through the refrigerator for something to eat. He was in luck there was still half of a pizza from the other night in the fridge. He threw a couple of slices on a plate and placed it in the microwave. While eating he kept checking his phone to see if Maggie had texted back yet. Nothing. He began to become worried and various scenarios passed through his head. They all ended the same—his Maggie wrapped in the embrace of some younger better looking coed, her head back—mouth open. He shuddered at the thought.
Bruce wasn't by nature a drinking man but the wear and annoyances inflicted on him over the past month by Maggie were enough to make any man drink—or so he told himself as he poured a tumbler full of the scotch he had gotten last Christmas. Luckily for him he only got through one glass before he heard the door open.
Bruce walked out of his room.
“Where the hell have you been?” emboldened by the drink his words came out louder than he intended. What happened next was completely unexpected to Bruce. Maggie cried. He stood awkwardly for a moment, his brain trying to register what was happening. Instinct took over and he went to Maggie and placed his arms around her.
“Whats the matter Maggie?” Bruce ran his arm up and down her back. It had been too long.
Maggie gently pushed back from his chest and looked at him through her wet blue eyes, “Are you still going to love me even when you can't pay for my college?
“What?” Bruce was shocked.
“I am worried you only care about me because you enjoy taking care of me... will you still love me when I am no longer indebted to you?” She looked down at the floor bracing herself for his answer. Bruce was silent for a while and started laughing slowly. His hearty laughter grew and grew reaching a mighty crescendo. Maggie smiled “what is so funny? I am being serious.”
“I was worried you no longer loved me and were with someone else” Bruce said between laughs wiping his eyes. “I love you for you, Maggie. I have since I first saw you.” Hearing these words Maggie threw her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss.
“And I love you too. Even if you were the poorest man in the world” She held him tighter and Bruce sighed a deep sigh of relief.
