We went on a one hour run and like a caring boyfriend he was he sloweddown so I could keep up because of my shorter stride. Brent who wassilent for a ...ong time said, "Shit we run like a girl." I giggled in myhead and told him, "Stupid man I am a girl."The whole way Alex treated me softened and he treated like a real ladyand I acted like one. When we got back to the dorm I waited and heopened the door for me. He let me let me walk in front of him so hecould check my butt out and I swayed it. "I nodded, "Yes, I think so." Last night after you left, she didn't shut up about you for bloody hours, Micky this and Micky that, she was driving me bloody nuts." Then we stopped and he looked at me."All I'm saying is, look after her. She's all I've got, Micky."He gripped my arm and we continued walking in silence."I've not known her for twenty-four hours yet, Tommy," I said and grinned at my foolishness. "But the way I feel right now, I'd marry her tomorrow." Oh Jesus," he laughed. "You're. He quickly headed to the secretarys office, and handed her the note, then went back up to his locker to get his stuff. Before he knew it, he was back home and watching TV. It took forever, but Saturday finally arrived. He still had a couple of hours to kill before he left, but he could wait those. He had already worked it out with his parents. They thought he was hanging out at his best friend Jasons house, who said would cover for him in case they called there. Move over, his little sister. I have nobody." That's not true. You're NOT alone. You have me." I have you still?" Yes. And you always will." But I don't love you, never did." I know. But you don't want to be alone, do you? Just say the word andyou can stay with me tonight." Alright. I'll stay with you tonight. Just tonight though, alright?" All day and all night?"He nodded to her in his dream... but she wasn't there. Not in his dream.His eyes were open now. And he was looking at her - no. Not at her. Atsomeone.
