How could I be out on a dance floordressed as a woman and being kissed by a man? How could any of thisbe happening? But regardless of all those feelin...s I knew I had tocontinue to play the role. So, I responded to his kiss as eagerly asI could. Mike kissed me more deeply and drew me in close to him."I enjoyed it too, Patti. But to tell you the truth, I enjoyed thatkiss a heck of a lot more," he said with a twinkle in his eye.As we made our way back to the table, I wondered if I had made. I was surprised at the frankness of her conversations and the width of her sexual exploits, even though I really should have known. Keeping in touch through face book had led me to think of her in a benign way, that wasn’t who she really was. It wasn’t like she’d hid her real self from me, but the limitations of internet filtered out who she really was.I mentioned a couple of charities that would come in and take anything left with out charging because they would re-purpose or sell the items.. .. I don'tknow what came over me." Maybe it was that curse," Heather said, chuckling a bit as she did.Arron didn't respond to her, and soon they were resting peacefully ineach others arms.The next morning, Aaron was not thinking about the amazing night ofpassion he and Heather had shared. Instead his only thought as he lookedin the mirror was that of bewilderment.He was different.It was definitely his reflection in the mirror, but it was like he wasseeing himself for the first time. Subtle. He doesn't see the lone tear sliding down my cheek. He gets in and starts the truck, pulling away from the curb, away from home, away from me.I turn and close the door. Walking around the house aimlessly, I find myself walking into the bedroom where we spent our last few hours together. Bed sheets lay in a tangle, the smell of him still lingering in the air from his recent shower. I lie down on his side of the bed and snuggle my face into his pillow taking a deep breath in, remembering our last.
