We went in to refresh our drinks. Rob filled our red plastic cups with cold beer and then asked if the girls wanted anything. While we were outside, K...lly and Jenny put out trays of munchies.I stood against the wall and gazed at the people in the basement. The girls talked as if they had known each other for years. Rob and Paul talked about fishing and hunting. Ted came over to where I stood and leaned against the wall next to me.“Are you going with Gail or Cora?” I asked Ted.Ted looked at me,. As I was walking to the car I looked in the bag to finda box of 10 condoms. So when we arrived at her apartment, Amanda started toget out and looked back and said, “You want to comeup?” I said ok and we headed upstairs. When we got in shewalked towards the bedroom and said, “You coming?” asshe was undoing her pants. By the time I got there her pants were at her anklesand she was stepping out of them in her black skimpythong as she was take off her sweatshirt to reveal. It finally arrived on the day that Dawn finally called. In fact, Laura was opening the box when the phone rang. She was so annoyed to be interrupted that she snapped into the phone."Yes?" Laura?"Oh god, yes! She dropped the box onto the sofa and grabbed the receiver with both hands. "Dawn! Oh god, it's you!" Thought maybe you'd forget what my voice sounded like." I never could. God, honey, I miss you."Dawn sounded shy and distant. "I miss you too. I'm sorry it took me so long to call." It's. She put her hand on mine and said that she wanted to have that family with me. She said that before meeting me, she had begun to give up hope for that dream to come true. She said that she had felt like she was somehow cursed.I got a lump in my throat. I knew that I wanted to be that family for her. I knew that I too had that longing; to have a family with this incredible woman. As she leaned over to give me a kiss, I knew that I would give my life to make her safe. But could I help her produce.
