Alexandra looked at Kay. "You've worked with the mentally challenged before."The head goddess nodded. "My younger brother has Downs. His is much more ...evere than Mandy's. He is in a group home right now." Do the others know?" It's never come up. And I didn't want to influence the others, by telling them right now."The priestess nodded. "That makes sense."After Alice had left for Indianapolis, Kay realized that she had been way too generous with her; letting her pick who would go with her. She. He didn't know I was there. He didn't care that I'd let others touch me. My brother had deserted me. And I honestly didn't think he was going to come back.I sat there. Looking at him with tears streaming down my face. Yes, I felt sorry for myself. I also felt sorry for us.Sam wasn't in the room. From what I'd seen and heard, this was unique. She'd been with him practically every second since she ran out of the kitchen the minute he was run over.She'd told me she loved him. I thought we could. . six minutes and ten seconds from... Mark!... ' "When can I get up?" Soon, now, but you'll have to take it easy. Nothing too strenuous," she cautioned."I know." He touched his chest with his right hand, and flexed the muscles of his left arm. "I'm hardly even sore, just a little weak." That's only because you were in bed for three days before your operation. Your strength will return quickly, once you're up and around."'... thirty seconds from... Mark!... 'The jump, when it came, was almost. He wasn't my type but there was just something about the way he looked at me that made me instantly wet. I was 5'9 and a little on the thicker side. Think black kinky curls and 42 Double D's and a little extra package at the back. It was a rainy friday night and i just got off the treadmill, showered and began walking upstairs towards my condo door when he called my name. I wasn't the type to go to the condominium gym late at night but since it was in my eyes safe, it became a habit as i knew.
