Once again, Jess was at Mindy's. I was beginning to think she might prefer to live there considering how much time the two spent with each other. I re...lly didn't mind. I wouldn't be very good company that day. I was seething inwardly at the claims by Reese. I had a hard time believing she had even read them. If she had, then she had dropped even further in my estimation. The only conclusion I could then draw from the document was that she was out to destroy me. I had to get out of the house. Centimeters if not millimeters from her lips. Her body pulled forward as if sucked into mine. I reacted and our first kiss collided with the kinetic impact of all that was held back previously. Our bodies faded away from the road........just behind the tree line.Our world faded away.........in an awesome crescendo of lust and emotion.Our restraint and reluctance faded away...Our inhibitions and insecurities faded away..... Our passion.......faded in.... I scooped her up in my arms ,. Dave turned and looked at me real quick, as if asking ifhe should let him in. I hadn’t answered yet when Theosays that the new smoke is supposed to be killer andhe’ll smoke us out and leave soon thereafter. We wantedto try out his smoke so we said ok. I still had the blankets pulled up to my neck when Theocame in and said hello. I was blushing as I smiled andsaid hello back. Theo is about 35ish, tall, black andmuscular and has been working with Dave for a few monthsor so. He still. AsI passed the threshold, I had to skid to a stop.Instead of the stacks, there was a stairway going down. "What?..."I looked around and Marianne wasn't around. I peered down the stairwayand still couldn't find her. "Marianne!" I cried. "Where are you!?"I looked back - the doors were swung open permanently so the light shonethrough. They haven't faded away. Yet.By that light, I walked down the stairs. I walked down gingerly. Thewooden stairs creaked spookily as I stepped on each board,.
