But they went everywhere together. They knew how to make Amanda smile and helped her with her anger at being delayed.Since we were away, few looked at...us. The news of James being my slave was not important enough to mean much outside of the neighboring community. Given that we were all armed now, except for Amanda, few wanted to tangle with us.I had kept Amanda at arm’s length about returning for over six weeks. I believed that what I wanted to accomplish with James and Peter was now complete.. “It happens to every guy I’ve ever danced with, and it will probably happen during your date tonight. Just don’t grind it against her, and let her decide how to handle the situation. Okay?”Tommy bobbed his head up and down and dug a twenty out of his wallet. Regina declined the money with a wave of her hand.“No charge, Tommy, but tomorrow after church, you have to sing a song for Melody Graham and me.”Tommy grunted and sped down to the basement, his face redder than ever. Regina smiled at his. "Come on, let's go downstairs and have a cup of coffee." She ordered. She thought to herself, 'This is great and so much fun, how far can I take this!"When they got down in the kitchen she told Louis to get her a cup and sat down at the table. Louis set her cup down in front of her and sat down at the end of the table. "You said you don't want to wear my clothes but here you are sitting here and everything you are wearing is mine. We are going to have to take care of that. Finish your coffee,. Anita, you are so special to me. I never thought I could be happy after the accident but you have brought pure joy and love to me. I never want to lose you or give you any reason to leave me. I sense that you are worried about my friendship with Kathy. Dont be, she is just someone who I can talk about home with. We both came here from the same place and it is nice to think back at times. She isnt ever going to replace you in my heart, I said. Gracias, Popi, Anita said softly, But I worry she.
