| �No, Alex, they don�t.� �Why not?� �Why? You know that night you made me feel like a whore. Telling me that the only reason you slept with me was because it was a fucking bet. I swear, my kids will never know that their father was a major asshole.� With that, she turned and took the order back to Saul. Theresa asked a friend of hers to take the drinks back as well as taking the table. �So, where are you going?� AJ asked Megan. �Oh, I have to pick up Savanna and Justin.� �Oh. Who are they?� Megan glanced over at AJ. �No AJ. They�re not mine.� �So, whose are they?� �Promise not to tell?� �Yeah.� �They�re Theresa�s.� �She has kids. How old are they?� �Six.� �Damn. I would have never thought.� �Most people don�t know. And that�s the way it�s going to stay.� Megan pulled into the driveway and walked to the front door. Karrie opened it. �Hey Karrie.� �Hey Megan. Come on in.� Megan walked in and saw Savanna and Justin watching TV. �Hey you two.� �Auntie Megan,� they screamed out, running up to her. She gave them a hug and took them out to the car. She sat them down in the backseat and strapped them in. �How much Karrie?� �Um, 50.� �Here.� Megan handed her the money and jumped into the car. She pulled out of the driveway and looked in the rearview mirror. Both Justin and Savanna were fast asleep. �God, why couldn�t they do that at Karrie�s house?� �They look so cute.� �I know, huh?� A few minutes later, they reached their house and got down. �AJ, can you get Justin please?� �Yeah, sure.� AJ got Justin and followed Megan into the house. Megan walked up a flight of stairs and went to the first door on the left. He followed, not knowing where to set Justin down. �Across the hall,� Megan whispered. AJ left the room and went across the hall. He opened the door and set Justin down on the bed. He pulled the covers up and gave him a gentle kiss. �That was real sweet,� Megan said, walking over to Justin. She pushed his hair back and gave him a kiss on the forehead. She turned around and grabbed AJ�s hand. The walked downstairs and sat on the couch. �So, tell me about yourself?� AJ asked. Megan began and they talked for the next two hours. Finally AJ said he had to get going and that he would stop by later that day. �You promise?� Megan asked, smiling. �Yeah,� he said. �Wait, I�m to tired to go back out,� Megan said. �What do you mean?� �There�s a guest room upstairs. It�s now pushing 4:30. And you don�t have a car.� �Oh, I see. Well, good night then.� But before he said anything else, Megan was already asleep. AJ picked her up and took her to her bedroom. He wasn�t sure but he opened the last door on the left and saw it was hers. She had her name and written on a plaque above her bed. He took her over there and laid her on the bed. He gave her a small kiss on the forehead and walked out of the room. �Okay, the guest room,� he told himself. He walked across the hall and opened the room. He looked around and thought it was it. �Wait, check the last room, just to be sure,� he told himself. He went to the last room and opened it up. �Nope, Theresa�s room.� He looked above the bed and saw Theresa written on a plaque above the bed. He closed the door and went back to the guestroom. He stripped and laid down on the bed. Theresa walked out of the backroom and thought to her self. �Damn, today was strange beyond belief. AJ, Howie, and Brian. Not to mention the fact that I saw Alex tonight ,� Theresa thought. She went over to the phone and dialed their home phone number. �Hello?� the person mumbled. �Sorry Megan. I take it your not picking me up?� �Sorry Resa. I�ll get someone over there soon, okay?� �That�s cool. The kids are okay, right?� �Oh, yeah. Fast asleep from what I hear.� �Okay then. I�ll let you go back to sleep.� �Thanks. Bye.� �Lates.� Theresa hung up the phone and went to go sit down on the curb outside. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. She felt someone picking her up and placing her in the car. She woke up and say it was Howie. �Damn, don�t do that next time,� she mumbled. �Why? Oh, I freaked you out. Sorry.� �That�s okay. I can�t believe I fell asleep. I mean, I�m off at 5:00 not 6:00. But still, usually I�m up.� �Oh, okay.� She gave him directions to her house and he followed them. He kept looking in his rearview mirror cause he thought he kept seeing this car following them. He turned on her street but then stopped. He looked over at Theresa who was looking out the window. �Yes Howie?� �Oh, I was just wondering if you wanted to go eat something,� he lied. He looked back once again and the car left. �Are you kidding?� she asked, smiling at him. He looked at her and couldn�t speak. She had a beautiful smile. One of those that light up your face and makes people smile back. �Yeah. I just said that so I could see your beautiful smile.� �Thanks. Oh, the house is the second on the right.� �Okay.� He pulled up to her house and helped her out. �Thanks,� she said. She looked down and started walking out to the front door. Howie followed, making sure she got in okay. He had a strange feeling like something was going to happen to her, though, he didn�t know what nor he didn�t know when. She opened the door and turned around. �Okay. Thanks for picking me up. I mean, I don�t know how Megan got your number but I�m sure she woke up.� |
