. and then one day....I got invited to Kathleen's (my best friend) house for a sleepover, I asked my parents and for some odd reason I was allowed to ...pend the night over, I didn't expect it at all. I grabbed my stuff and waited for Kathleen's ride. Kathleen came over with her elder brother (cutey Pie Brad as I called him who just turned 20) to pick me up. I opened the door to the back seat and Kathleen yelled out, that I should trade places with her (she was in the front seat) as the car. "Now, suppose this was a contest, as it was, that's how the Taylor-Burton moviemaker saw it, right, a long fight, although perhaps a pillow fight. I don't like what he does with the marriage, but that's his take, not Shakespeare's. We have some winners and some losers."Who wins? Bianca? Hortenseo, Petruchio, ah yes, he surely looks like the winner. He gets the girl and the money, just what he's come to Padua for - to marry wealthily. How about Lucentio? Eh, he did get Bianca after all, the girl. I had butterflies in my stomach as I read the texts. The first one had asked me if I was ok? I replied that I was. The second one asked me what I was doing? I replied I wasn't doing anything and that I was just sitting here. Then the third one had said to go and look in my garden to see if there were any dodgy guys out there. I shut down my laptop, put on my slippers and went to investigate. I opened the door and went outside, turned round the side of the house and saw you standing there. I've been without a husband for over eight months. He's been so depressed he can't do his thing. Until last night I'd been able to control my feelings. But lying in bed alone, thinking of you in the next room alone, with only a closed door between us, well, it was more than I could take. I was burning up with desire and knew I couldn't spend another night alone. So I took a chance, hoping you wouldn't turn me away or worse cause me to lose my job." Sherry I want you to know right up front, our.
