After Greg had left, 茉莉, 茉莉花 and Michael sat beside each other and did not speak. For a long time, it was quite in the room. Finally, he broke the silence between them.
"Jasmine?",he 说 softly and she turned to look at him.
"I want 你 to know that I get it now."
"Do you?"
"Yes,but I want 你 to know something."
"What?"
"I'm not like Greg and I would never do anything to hurt you."
She sighed and stared at the wall.
"Damn it,Jasmine! Look at me!", he 说 fiercely and she turned back to him and looked at him.
"I know that he hurt 你 and now 你 are scared to get hurt again,but 你 don't have to be scared of me. Please don't do this to yourself because 你 are beautiful and 你 deserve to be happy. I want to make 你 happy. I want to see 你 smile again, but I can't do that if 你 don't let me, so please don't shut me out. If 你 will just give me a chance, I promise that I will never break your heart."
"Don't make promises that 你 can't keep.", she 说 and walked into the kitchen.
He was not going to let her get away that easily and he followed her. He began to sing "Liberian Girl" to her. As he sang the song, he cupped her face and stared into her eyes, which were shiny with tears. When he finished with his song, he kissed her and wiped her tears away.
"I 爱情 you, Jasmine.", he whispered and kissed her again.
She broke the 吻乐队(Kiss) and tried to 移动 away from him, but he grabbed her and pulled her closer to him deepening the kiss. She tried to resist it, but it was no use. She was losing the battle. But oh how sweet the lost! She was tired of fighting her feeling for him. She kissed him passionately and soon they were back in the living room lip-wrestling on the couch. Then she broke the 吻乐队(Kiss) again.
"Wait. I can't do this."
"Why?"
"Because it is not right."
"Yes, it is. Let me 显示 你 just how right it is. Come here.", he 说 seductively and reached for her again.
"No. Michael, I want 你 to leave."
"But, 茉莉, 茉莉花 did 你 hear what I said? I'm in 爱情 with 你 and I have loved 你 since the first 日 that I met you."
She did not answer him.
"You can't tell me that 你 don't feel anything for me because I know that 你 do!"
"It doesn't matter what I feel about 你 because we can't be together. Face it, Michael I just don't fit in your world. Now please leave.", she 说 sadly.
When she 说 that, Michael knew that he had 迷失 her. As he walked to the door, he could feel his 心 breaking.
"Jasmine, I just want 你 to know that I will never stop loving you. I really hope that one 日 你 will find a man that can make 你 happy. I just wish that it could be me,but I will just have to accept that and 移动 on with my life. I won't come back because I'm leaving tomorrow and going on tour. Take care of yourself, 茉莉, 茉莉花 and 你 will always be my Liberian girl."
Then he walked out the door and closed it. behind him.
"Jasmine?",he 说 softly and she turned to look at him.
"I want 你 to know that I get it now."
"Do you?"
"Yes,but I want 你 to know something."
"What?"
"I'm not like Greg and I would never do anything to hurt you."
She sighed and stared at the wall.
"Damn it,Jasmine! Look at me!", he 说 fiercely and she turned back to him and looked at him.

His first goal in life must have been to own a 糖果 store because he loved to play storekeeper. After Joe began giving him and his brothers a weekly allowance, he would spend every cent of it on 糖果 and gum. He’d come 首页 with an armful of it, take a board and two bricks and place them in the doorway to the boys’ bedroom, place a cloth over the board, lay the 糖果 on 最佳, 返回页首 of it, and sell it to his brothers and sisters and 老友记 for the same price he’d paid for it.
Michael was also a serious candy-eater and gum-chewer. Before he opened his “store,” he’d save his pennies so that he could purchase bubble gum at the concession stand at the Little League ball park behind our house. One night, however, he couldn’t find his penny for gum and he was so upset he started crying. “Mother, do 你 know what happened to my penny?” he asked. I knew the answer when I saw Marlon @Marlon_Jackson happily chewing away on a wad of bubble gum nearby.
