??Hey, baby. Give me a little sugar.???Fuck you.???The doorbell rang. The gang was here. Shit. How was she going to pull off this heist???C’mon. You...know you want to.??Max leered at Paige. A look of disgust flitted briefly across her face, but it morphed into a smile. She whipped off her v-neck t-shirt, shook her long, brown dreadlocks around, and licked her plump red lips. Inspiration had struck her, and she now had a plan.??Come and get it big boy.??Nobody ever suspected the skank.?***?Leon. It was my six-year-old daughter, who was padding through the kitchen to get herself some water. I nudged Tess. When she realized what was happening, she sat up straight just in time—Melanie walked into the room and said hi."Hi Mel, we're just watching some TV."Melanie was so happy to see that Tess was still here. She put her water down and ran to my sitter. Tess gave her a huge hug, rubbing her back. In spite of how stressful this all was, it was warming my heart. Tess really did love my k**s.. In the morning, I rose and put my running clothes on. I met Sandy outside her condo. I stretched a bit to get any remaining kinks out and get my breathing under control. We started at a fast walk to the complex entrance. At that point, I started to run feeling her staying with me. We ran down to the park side by side. Every once in a while, one of us would look over at the other and smile. We said nothing just letting the joy of the moment flood us.When we reached the park, she took the lead. ‘Care for an encore?’ she cooed. She was surprised to see his expression darken. ‘Honestly, I’d love to, but I need to get going.’ He smiled, but it looked strained to her. Faith tried to change the subject, not wanting to see him look so sad. ‘So a rain-check then?’ ‘I’d like that.’ This time his smile looked genuine. Impulsively, he leaned forward and gave her a quick hug. ‘Thank you. I really needed that.’ She hugged him back, then watched him walk toward the front door. As she turned to.
