* * * * * I heard the knock at the door and shivered slightly, suddenly afraid. What had started as an innocent, on-line exchange was instantly real. ...ime. It was all about time. Time for children, time for work, time for home, time for parents with failing health. In the end there was no time for me. Am I angry or even upset? No, it was just the way it had to be. But now I found I had time. A new found freedom that let me explore the world that had developed all around me. One day while doing. ‘Hey Dean your mom let me in and she said that I looked so cute.’ She said with a laugh. ‘I’m pretty sure she thinks you’re the daughter she never had except for my sister.’ I said with laugh. ‘Why are you so weird?’ she asked with a smile. ‘I think it’s having you as a best friend.’ I said smiling back at her. ‘Yea maybe.’ She said slapping me. ‘Are we going to watch the movie or what?’ I asked. ‘Sure, but first is my present I have to give you.’ ‘Bailey I tell you every year you don’t need to. After loading the dishwasher my wife told me she was hitting the shower too. It was a mild night and I had the window in the den opened. I heard someone pulling in the driveway and I got up to see who it was. It was Tim, he is actually one of my friends but my wife likes to have sex with him. I let him in and he sat on the couch while I grabbed a couple of Budweisers. He and I where talking about the bogging race we had gone to when my wife walked in the den wearing a real thin white cotton. ...." he was seriously scarng me now and my emotions weren't afraid to show.He then gave up and just blurted out "ILIKEYOUJOEMORETHANABESTFRIENDFRIENDbrotherMORETHANANYTHING" he was out of breath with saying it so quick and I looked at him with the most confused face I could ever make he the sighed and decided to let me understand him " I like you Joe More than a friend" he looked down I was speechless and my eyes widend so that why he was acting strange I just looked at how upset he was then.
