He opened the door to find Bob Brandt standing on his doorstep."Bob! What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in Atlanta."Matt was so surprised...at seeing Bob that he never saw the right cross that sent him tumbling to the floor. Bob stepped inside and kicked the door shut behind him."Why am I supposed to be in Atlanta Matt? To take care of legitimate business or to get me out of the way?" Bob reached down to help the older man to his feet."Who is it Matt?" a voice called. In a voice. I think I got my point across, because Lucy just stood there, kissing me back. When we broke the kiss she took my hands and brought them up to her lips. The feel of her soft lips, the touch of her hands on mine and the silence on the deck made for a perfect moment. I didn't want it to end. At that moment I felt something that transcended the sex. We had finally made an emotional connection and it felt so good. I had missed having this feeling for so long I couldn't remember when it stopped. Then I saw the UPS truck parked in front. A few seconds later she came out tying up a pink robe. She went to the door and open it to receive the package. She sign for it and closed the door and said “my birthday gift from my son”as she turn.“I have to call him be right back”. I was glad for the few minutes of reprieve that I had. It gave me a chance to take in what has happen since I walked in the door. Everything seem to happen all at once but yet there was a wonderful order about it. After. I don’t want him to feel obligated to me in any way. If he comes back to me it has to be because he loves me, not because of a child. He is such a good man that he would do it out of obligation to the child. He’s very big on that and I don’t want him that way. That would only lead to him hating me for it, believing that I got pregnant and kept the child to trap him. Not going to happen!’ Diane spoke, spitting out words of hate. ‘If he loved you, he wouldn’t have let you go in the first place.’.
