Twelve minutes had passed, and finally I saw your car pull up.? I went over and opened the front door to greet you. You could not resist me and did no... say anything but just put ur hands on my hands and started to passionately kiss me in the doorway. Then I pushed forward so you took a few steps back so we could get inside the house. I shut the door while kissing you and picked you up while you wrapped your legs around me, while our lips and tongue remained in contact. I carried you to our bed. Finally he turned to face the woman, to look upon her graceful beauty for the first time in nearly a decade. He steeled himself for the reaction that he knew would be inescapable: the shock and horror at seeing him alive."Sir?" she asked timidly.

For a moment I thought I'd ruined everything, but then I saw just the hint of a smile from Rose's mother."That's better, Doug. You've had my blessing all along. No one has reached Rose the way you and your family have. I worried for a long time that she would never find a man who would be good enough for her. She has very demanding standards, as you've probably already discovered. I think she's chosen very well and I wish only that the both of you will be very happy."I breathed an audible sigh. . I was."Nope. If you want to talk to Mr. Phillips, you'll have to go over to my Dad's house. I'm Patrick, and I don't talk to anyone that calls me 'sir'." Not quite true; the girls called me 'sir' sometimes, but he got the point."Oh. Can I talk to you, Sir Patrick?" he asked. I looked at him and saw the twinkle in his eye. Nice kid, good sense of humor. I let him get away with it this time."What's on your mind, Eric?" I asked as I led him into him living room and sat down."Samantha," he said.
