“I was in love with his lies. He said we would have a blissful life, full of kids and adventures together.” I look down at my stomach and wrap my ...arms around it.He walks towards me like a panther stalking his prey, slow and deliberate. Pulls me towards the mirror by his closet. He stands behind me and puts his hands on me. I can feel him breathing on my neck. My knees begin to waver.He kisses my neck and whispers while we both look at each other in the mirror. “I've been waiting for this moment. Nah-uh, he didn't really grab me and hold or anything -- just sort oftried to hug, but rough. And I could have asked his mom or brother for mybike, but just didn't want to. And I looked where you said and saw how toblock his emails too. It was just really scary, Marsha. But he did let meleave and, yeah, took no for an answer, I guess. But made sure I knew hedidn't like it. But it's all creepy as H-E-LL.I know you're right, and I'm just going to forget about the whole thing.Because I don't want. He took hold of my chin and turned my head to kiss me. I felt his tongue separate my lips and dance with mine. Oh, he tasted so good. I wanted it to keep going on and on.He broke the kiss and I heard a cap being opened and I recognized it as my lotion bottle. It was the only one that had a snap on cap. I felt his body shift and then a cold feeling on my breasts as he squeezed some on them. He made like a design as he poured. I heard him set the bottle down and he began to trace designs through. Gabe got his pants, socks, boots and coat on, all of which were cold. He got some of the dried weeds and uncovered the banked fire in the fireplace, fed the weeds in and soon had a good flame going. He added some of the hickory chips that he had trimmed from the handles yesterday and then some of the remaining furniture parts. When the fire picked up, he then added firewood from the pile and soon had a good blaze going.Celia awoke soon after Gabe had started on the fire. She put on the shirt.
