Had a long talk with me. Lu just sat and listened."Chris," Mr. B. said, "it concerns me that you don't seem very upset about your parents." He paused,... but I didn't say anything. It didn't seem to me that he asked a question or anything. "Maybe you're keeping your feelings bottled up inside. It's not real good to keep things inside. You have to let them out. You can always talk to me or Marilee or Lucy. Or we can arrange for you to talk with a doctor who knows about these things." Then he. We've settled what was mine and hers without much rancor and just 5 years later I don't miss her. She has a new boyfriend she lives with and except for the grand deception and the rug she pulled from under me, it's forgotten. That fact makes me wonder if she had just become my habit, rather than my potential life partner. Shouldn't I feel a big hole in my heart? Or was her SIN against my feelings and beliefs so great that no part of me could forgive her ... So that's my back story, if it makes. “Robbie” she whined as she playfully slapped my hand that was on the table. “I’m serious, just that whole thing with Brad. I could never thank you enough.”“Stacey you really didn’t have too and I would do it all over again for you. I would do anything for you!” I took her hand in mine. I could see the shine of fresh tears gathering around her the bottom of her eyes. We just stared at each other. A deep understanding and love that was strong and we both felt it.“Sorry to disturb you both” a tall. "You have such lovely legs, my sweet," she said."You too, ma cherie," I whispered.She moved her hand to my neck and softly caressed my face and shoulders.She leaned forward and kissed me gently on the cheek and then on thelips. I turned my face towards her and returned her kiss with passion."I love you Stephanie.....sorry Steve, oh so confusing," she whisperedwith a smile."I love you too, Mary," I whispered back.At that moment Bekka decided that it was time for these adults to stopbeing silly.
