hit it off right away. He was also from Florida, but had been living in Maryland for eight years. He was five years older than her and was the one to first introduce her to drinking wine. She enjoyed their time together when they were dating, when they would just cuddle up on the couch and watch movies and drink wine and order pizza. She missed that – him. So she pushed aside the fact that she hated him for dumping her after she told him she was pregnant – which apparently he was still denying. “Here you go babe,” Roger handed Carlisha a glass of wine. “Roger, I told you I can’t.” He smiled. “Alright. I’ll rest it here in case you change your mind.” He placed the full wine glass on the coffee table in front of her. He took a sip of wine from his glass after sitting down next to her then he placed it on the coffee table. “How have you been?” Carlisha attempted to make small talk. Although she missed him, it was hard to really overlook the elephant in the room. “I’ve missed you – a lot.” Roger cupped the back of Carlisha’s neck and gently pulled her to him. He kissed her passionately. Carlisha’s body melted in his kiss. She had missed that too. The intimacy they had. Her body ached for his sexual touch. Roger fondled her breasts, then he slid his hand down to her belly, and felt her bump. “You are pregnant?” he asked in her mouth. He released their kiss and looked down at his hand on her belly. “Yes! I’m pregnant.” Carlisha confirmed looking down at his hand on her midsection. Roger pulled at her nightgown to lift it over her belly so he could investigate her pregnant bump better. There was no denying it if he wanted to, she was definitely pregnant as he could see. But he was also already very aroused and didn’t want her baby bump to stand between him getting her in bed. I didn’t come over here for nothing. He continued to kiss her as if that didn’t just happen. Carlisha took it as his accepting the fact that she was carrying their child. She relinquished her body to him. The comfort of his body against hers made her forget about her attack yesterday. She felt safe, she felt loved, she felt needed.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Carlisha asked Roger after she woke up and saw him pulling on his jeans then sitting on the edge of her bed to put on his shoes. “I’m heading out. It was great hanging out with you last night…” Hanging out? Carlisha repeated in her head. “You’re not going to stay? I thought we could go to the movies today.” She sat up in her bed. She didn’t want to be alone the long holiday weekend. Carlisha admired his naked muscular back as he bent over. Roger stood up and pulled his shirt over his head. “Come on Carlisha, I thought this was just us hooking up for the night.” Carlisha fought the emotion to get upset. Last night was too great, in her mind, to allow their moment together to be ruined this morning. “Please? I don’t want to be alone for the holiday,” she admitted. Roger was reluctant. But he admitted to himself that the sex was great last night – like he’d remembered. Even with a pregnant bump. “Okay. Tonight. And let’s go to the theatre in Virginia, the ones down this way sell out quick anyway.” “I wanted us to go today, in a couple hours or something. What do you have to do anyway? Isn’t this your Saturday off from the shop?” Roger looked at his watch. “I have to run some errands. I can be back in an hour.” He looked down at her exposed full breasts. They were bigger than he had remembered. He hoped to get reacquainted with them again tonight. He grabbed his wallet and keys off the nightstand before giving Carlisha a quick kiss on the forehead. Carlisha lay back against the headboard smiling broadly as he walked out of the bedroom.

“What time does the movie start?” Roger took Carlisha’s car keys from her and started up the car. “At one. I think you
