Time of her Life

[jessie]

Short story for you Sanda, Happy New Year's to you, and your family. Happy New Years to everyone who reads my stories all year, thank you. Have a wonderful 2012.

Time of her Life

Sanda was out with her friend, it was New Year's eve. She was visiting Dallas, she was going to spend the week with her friend Tara. She missed her family but it was nice to be on a holiday, and seeing Tara again. She missed her cat Tegan, but she knew her family was taking good care of him. Tara worked at the hospital, Sanda had to go with her to pick up her pay cheque, she forgot to pick up on Friday before she took her week off. They were going out for New Year's Eve. They got to the hospital, Tara told Sanda to sit on the chair, she would only be about 5 or 10 minutes. Tara went down the hall, Sanda was sitting looking at her cell phone when someone walked over to her.

"Hey no phones in here"

"Oh God I'm sorry, I was just checking my messages"

"Just kidding, well there isn't phones allowed, but I was just playing with you"

Sanda smiled as the man shook her hand, "I'm Reid Oliver, I don't think I have seen you around here"

"I'm waiting for my friend Tara, she is a Nurse here"

"Tara Stewart"?

"Yeah do you know her"?

"Yes she is nice"

"You have to work New Year's Eve Reid"?

"No I'm off now, I will go home , and throw in a tv dinner in the microwave, and watch some TV"

"Oh my would you like to join us we are going out to dinner, and maybe have some drinks. We will take a cab home from the restaurant, we would love for you to join us"

"I would be a third wheel that wouldn't be cool"

"Well you can dance with both of us"

"At the same time"?

Sanda smiled, "No one at at time, and you can save us from all the drunk men who try to pick us up"

"Well if I'm needed as a body guard, I might feel needed"

Sanda smiled, "So you will join us"?

"Well I want to go home to change, what restaurant are you going to"?

"Kally's on Main Street do you know the place"?

"Yes I will meet you both there in a hour"

"Looking forward to it" Reid smiled, "Nice meeting you Sanda, thanks"

"Bye Reid" He walked away, Sanda couldn't keep her eyes off of him. She saw Tara walk over, "I got my cheque we can go"

"Tara I hope you don't mind but Reid Oliver is joining us for dinner, and drinks".

"Reid Oliver are you kidding"?

"No why you don't like him"

"You kidding, he is so adorable, I wanted to ask him out for a year"

"Oh"

Tara smiled, "Someone likes Reid , I see"

"He is cute Tara, and those eyes, and smile"

Tara laughed as they both walked away, both a little nervous about having dinner with Reid.

[Sanda]

MelindaJo, I agree with you 100% that Sanda and Reid make an awesome couple. Thank you so much for all of your awesome comments about how me and Jessie write Reid and Sanda as a couple or as friends.

Chapter 2

Sanda and Tara were already dressed they went to Kally's, and got a table, and they ordered a glass a wine. They told the waitress they were waiting for someone to come before ordering dinner.

"No Problem" The waitress smiled as she left to get their drink orders.

"Sanda why did you ask Reid to join us"?

"He said he was going home alone, and was going to eat a TV dinner, and I thought it was awful sad on New Years"

"You know he never lets anyone close he must like you"

'We just met Tara so stop".

Tara smiled, "Oh man Sanda he just arrived, you have to see how sexy he looks". Sanda went to turn but Tara whispered. "Don't look he will think we are talking about him, just stay calm , and see who he sits beside, I bet it will be you"

"Stop is he coming"

"Yes" Sanda smiled as Reid walked over to the table.

"Ladies sorry if I'm late"

"No sit your right on time we just ordered a drink, we can wait a while to order food"

"Sounds good I could use a beer, I came in a cab so I can drink"

The waitress brought over the wine, and she asked Reid what he wanted?

"A Miller Lite"

"Coming right up" The waitress smiled at Reid making Tara smile at Sanda. Reid was looking good in dress pants, and a dress shirt with a sports jacket, and a tie.

"So how long have you two been friends"? Reid asked

"Oh ever since we were 12, she lives in San Antonio, and I moved here. She visits me every 2 months, and I spend 3 weeks in the summer at her place"

"Cool, I went to San Antonio a few times, I like it there."

"I grew up there, but Dallas is a nice place too"

"Yeah I am starting to love it here" Reid said

The waitress brought the beer, and they said they would order in a little while, and she said she would give them some time. Reid took a sip of beer, and put it down looking at Sanda who couldn't keep her eyes off of him. He smiled as she asked him how he likes being a Surgeon?

"Love it most days some days I just want to sleep, and eat"

Tara smiled, 'Yes this guy loves to eat remember the day you ate Mrs. Adam's cheesecake she was mad, but when she found out it was Reid who took it she gave him some slack"

"Yes she is scary but she loves me you are jealous Tara". Reid smiled as Tara laughed too.

"Your not dating Reid that is a surprise you seem to be a real catch". Sanda said making Tara stare at her, and Reid smiled.

"You think I'm a catch, I will tell you most ladies would not agree with you"

"Oh God I don't know what got over me, I can't believe I just said that. You just look like someone that would be married, but I should talk I'm not married but I'm OK with it"

"Me too see I have not met the lady I want to settle down with"

"Well I bet you will find someone soon Reid, you really shouldn't work so hard, and eat TV dinners you need some special care"

Tara picked up her wine, but winked at Sanda who realized she was talking to much as she grabbed her wine glass as Reid just sat there thinking about what Sanda said.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. I LOVE that Tara was playing matchmaker for me and Reid.

[melindajo2000]

this is good jessie, I hope that Tara's matchmaking pays off

Chapter 2

Reid was drinking his beer, and listening to Sanda, and Tara talk. He laughed Sanda was very open he knew all about her parents, and her cat Tegan who she was worried about. She told him all about her Uncle's problems. Reid listened he said he would call her Uncle's Doctors to see if there was anything he could do to help with his recovery.

"I would love that , I worry about him all the time"

"I can see that Sanda"

"I know I talk to much".

Tara smiled but Reid reached over touching her hand.

"No I love hearing your stories, I feel like I know your family already. I'm having a wonderful time, I owe you for inviting me to dinner, I was dreading being alone, I am getting tired of the single scene. I just wish you lived here not so far away in San Antonio"

"Maybe Sanda can move here with Tegan, she can move in with me, and find a job maybe at the hospital , you can put a good word in for her Reid"

"Anytime"

"I would love to move here, but my Parents may not like it"

"I'm sure they wouldn't but you would be in great hands here". Reid said but he blushed that didn't sound so good.

Sanda couldn't help but smile she knew Reid didn't mean anything bad with what he said. She really liked Reid, and she could see he liked her too, and that made her smile.

"Who is hungry, I'm starving who wants to share some appetizers with me. I want some potato skins, and some cheese poppers, and how about some deep fried veggies"

"Oh all before our main course meal"

"Yeah it is New Years lets live a little, who is game"

Sanda smiled, "I'm game I love to eat too"

"Oh really my kind of lady, I love a lady who is not afraid to eat in front of her date"

Tara sat looking at Sanda, and Reid they were like a couple that dated for years, it was obvious they liked each other, and she sure hoped Sanda did move to Dallas she wanted her friend close, but she wanted to see Sanda happy. She has wanted to fall in love, and have a family, and seeing her with Reid, she thought it just might happen for her.

The waitress brought over the appetizers first, they were eating. Reid was in Heaven, he loved to eat, but he loved the company more. He has never felt this happy, and he really liked Sanda, but the thought of her leaving to go home soon made him a little sad. Sanda could see his face change, and she touched his hand.

"Reid is something wrong"?

"No everything is wonderful, I was just thinking about the day you leave that is a day I'm dreading, please say your staying for a while"

"I will be here 1 week"

"I week well I want to show you around town"

Tara smiled, "Hello I live here too, I can show her around too"

Reid smiled, "I didn't mean to upset you, I was just thinking I could take her out"

"I'm kidding Sweetie, I think Sanda would love to go out site seeing with her"

Sanda smiled as Reid held her hand, and than they finished eating their appetizers, and than they ordered their main course. They ordered some more drinks as they continued to talk.

To be continued.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid and Sanda are so cute and adorable together in this chapter. I feel bad for Reid when I go bock home to San Antonio, TX. I hope that my parents won't mind when I move to Dallas from San Antonio, TX. I also feel bad for Tara not having anyone now that I am with Reid in this story.

Chapter 3

Sanda, Tara, and Reid were talking, and having a fun night when a man walked over to the table, and asked Tara to dance. Sanda and Reid smiled Tara said she would love to but she looked a little nervous but she got up, and followed the man out to the dance floor.

"Sanda would you like to dance"?

"I thought you would never ask"

Reid got up, and put his hands out to her, and she took them. They walked over to the dance floor. Reid smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist as they looked into each others eyes as they start to slow dance. Sanda was scared he would hear his heart beating it was beating so fast she felt like she was going to faint. She didn't realize he felt the same way, and he was so scared he would step on her toes he was not a dancer, but he couldn't wait to dance with her. Having her so close was Heavenly, and she smelt so good she was wearing a Perfume that was so lovely. He shut his eyes as she leaned her head on his shoulder as he moved his hands up her back. She was wearing a blue backless dress, and her skin felt so soft. He shut his eyes, and he was so wanting to kiss her, but he didn't want to freak her out it might be to soon. He felt her hand touch his cheek, and he opened his eyes, and he looked into her lovely eyes, and she said.

"Reid are you ok"?

"Yes, I was just daydreaming"

Sanda smiled, "I thought maybe you were regretting asking me to dance"

"Are you kidding I have never felt this good my whole life"

The song ended, and Sanda asked him if he would like to go back to the table? He touched her cheek, and asked her to have another dance. Sanda was glad she didn't want to go back to the table yet either. She smiled as one of her favourite song started to play.

The song Lady by Kenny Rogers started to play, and Reid pulled her close, as they danced. He was not a country fan but the words of the song were perfect, and he was with a Lady that he was already falling in love with. It scared him because he was not a person to fall hard for anyone but there was something about Sanda that made his heart race. He knew when she goes home he will be heartbroken, and he had to admit to himself he would move to San Antonio in a minute to be close to her. He didn't know what his future held but he sure hoped she was part of his life because he was feeling so happy right this minute, and it was all because of the Beautiful Lady standing right here in his arms.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid and Sanda are so cute and adorable together in this story with Sanda's friend Tara. I am secretly hoping and praying that Reid comes back home with me to San Antonio, TX and goes to work at the hospital where my dad volunteers at in San Antonio. I hope that everything works out for Tara and the guy that she is dancing with in this chapter. :)This chapter made me smile big time tonight. Thank you so much for writing this awesome Reid and Sanda story for me.

Chapter 4

Sanda and Reid finished dancing they walked over to the table. Tara was still dancing with the gentleman that asked her. Reid reached over holding Sanda's hand as they talked, and watched other couples dancing.

"You enjoying your visit to Dallas Sanda"?

"Yes, I love it here, and I am enjoying myself today this place is beautiful"

Reid smiled, "You are beautiful Sanda"?

"You don't have to say that Reid but thank you"

"Well I always say exactly how I feel, and I am really having fun too."

"Tara is having a good time is this her forth or fifth dance now"?

"Yeah they seem to be enjoying each others company"

"Reid do you have family here"?

"No I have no family my Parents are gone, and I am a only child"

"I am so sorry Reid"?

"I am use to being alone I basically been alone most of my life. I am fine with it my life was my job, I love being a surgeon, and I worked so hard to be a darn good one"

Sanda smiled, " I think that is great that you are Proud of your accomplishments"

"I know I sound conceited but I have to work on that"

"No I think it is great you help others, and that is so wonderful my Father is not a Doctor but he does so much for others he is such a wonderful man"

"I would like to meet him someday, and your Mother too, and of course Tegan "

"Tegan is a character he loves to get into things, and he can capture your heart it is hard to get mad at him. My Mom is amazing too but she worries about me all the time which is a good thing but I guess all Mom's do that. "

"You are so lucky you seem to have an amazing family. What does your Father do if you don't mind me asking"?

"He does charity work meals on wheels, and we help out at the hospital, and we work out at the Food banks , and feed the homeless. My Parents have done this for years, and I am so proud of them"

"I have never done any of that but that is amazing Sanda"

"It is very rewarding"

Reid smiled as Tara came over sitting down, and smiled as Sanda said.

"Was he nice you danced quite a few dances with him"?

'He is nice he is with friends he said after we eat we can dance some more. He is so nice Sanda, and so cute"

Sanda smiled, "He was cute but not as cute as my guy here" Reid looked at Sanda , and Tara smiled as Sanda realized what she said, and started to blush but Reid leaned over, and whispered.

"I love being your guy Angel". Sanda smiled as they kiss again as Tara looked on, and smiled.

[Sanda]

I can't wait for Reid to meet my parents and my cat Tegan later on in this awesome New Years story you are writing for me. I hope you update this awesome story for me again really soon. This chapter made me smile big time tonight.

Chapter 5

Sanda, Reid and Tara finished eating and were drinking some wine. They were talking and Sanda was telling them some cute stories about Tegan, and stuff he gets into. Tara notices the man she was dancing with walking over, Tara was a little nervous because she really liked  Mike. He smiled as he asked Tara if she wanted to join him at his friends house for a few drinks. Sanda was shocked he asked but Tara grabbed her purse, and jacket and stood up telling Sanda she was going to go with Mike and she would call her in the morning.

"Tara I don't know"

Mike smiled, "She will be safe I will get her home don't worry about her". Mike put his hand out shaking Reid's hand than Sanda's. Tara said she was sorry and introduced them to Mike. Tara gave Reid and Sanda a hug, and left with Mike. Sanda was concerned because she was not sure if it was smart Tara going off with a man she just met. She realized she was with a man she just met so she couldn't blame her.

"I think she will be fine Sanda"

"I am sorry I was just a little shocked she ran off with this guy."

Reid whispered, "Would it be awful of me if I say I am glad we have some time alone"?

Sanda smiled and said, "No it is sweet"

Reid reached over taking her hand into his as they smile at each other.

"Would you like to dance again Sanda or would you like to go to this little place I found where they make the most amazing desserts, and coffee"

"I would love to have some dessert and coffee" Reid stood up taking Sanda's jacket and helping her put it on. She grabbed her purse as they held hands as they left the restaurant to go to the dessert place Reid loved so much.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid and Sanda are so cute and adorable together with Sanda's friend Tara and Tara's new friend Mike. :)I hope that everything works out for Sanda&Reid and for Tara&Mike as well. I don't blame me for being worried about my friend Tara going out with a man she just met since I am also going with Reid to his favorite dessert place for coffee and dessert even though we just met. :)I hope you update this story for me again really soon. :)I love all of your awesome stories and one shots that write and post on my message board.
