interracial love story

[jentle]

Janice checked the monitors for Steve's flight. Yes, the same as the last time. steve is a black,and she is a whit.
the love between then has a problem :racism .
It was in range and should be landing any minute. While she looked forward to seeing him, she could not help but wonder why he was coming home so soon. He had left just that morning to see his cousin, Kenny. And now, it was 7 in the evening and he was already coming home. She hoped he was OK.

It was not too much longer and the passengers started streaming in from the gates. She looked for his familiar Cubs warmup jacket and his salt and pepper beard. There he was. He looked fine, but she still worried a bit.

As soon as he passed the security checkpoint, she came up to meet him. He held her tightly. They kissed tenderly. She ignored her reluctance on public displays of affection. He seemed to need this right now. He looked in her dark brown eyes.

"Hi, Angel Eyes. You got more beautiful since this morning."

"Steve … stop it. Are you OK?"

"I am fine, baby. I love you."

"I love you too. You just left this morning. Are you OK? Is your cousin OK?"

"Come on, love. Let's go home."

They walked to her car making small talk about what he would do with the two days off he had planned to spend with his cousin.

Kenny and he had always been close, more like brothers than cousins. He lived less than half a mile from Steve, they did everything together as kids.

Steve's brothers were 7 and 8 years older than he while Kenny was less than 3 months younger. They went to school together from kindergarten through high school.

Eight years ago Kenny took a job in Philadelphia. That had not kept Steve and Kenny apart. They made constant trips back and forth, for a while anyway. As they matured, the trips got less frequent as did the calls. But one thing that stayed the same was their feeling of closeness.

In the car, as Janice drove to their condo, she asked him again if everything was ok.

"Baby, I am fine."

"Steve, I asked about everything."

"I am fine, love. I missed you."

"You only left 12 hours ago. You have been gone on trips that lasted 3 days before and you never tried to come back the same day. Are you like the little homesick boy in summer camp today?"
