Mike has had quite a day at work already, so he is so glad that lunch is here.  He grabs a tray and takes it back to his class room, hoping to be able to chat with Alexis.  He really wants to tell her in person how sorry he is about their last fight.  He pulls out his cell phone, only to see a missed call and new voice mail.  He is disappointed because he knows without looking that it was his love.  He listens to the message, knowing that he has to do something.  It sucks that they are fighting so often now, and it really disgusts him that he even allows it to happen.  Alexis deserves so much better than that.  He would give anything to have more time with her.  But what can he do?<br/><br/>He knows she'll be in class now, but he has to call her.  "I just wanted to call and tell you again now sorry I am.  You mean the world to me Alexis, and I promise I'll do better.  I'll make more time for us...more time for you.  I hate it when we fight..I hate to hurt  you.  Anyway, I'm sorry about the fight.  I'm going to be there to pick you up after work tonight too.  I know I've got work tomorrow, but no worries.  I'll be there and cherish every second with you.  Call me when you can. Love you babe!"<br/><br/>Mike sits there, not even paying attention to his lunch, or the papers to be graded.  "What can I do?  How can I make sure we have time together?  I've got to do something, but what?"
