Being young, Ranjit not only offered further spoken endearments, but also continued kissing and fondling Glenda right through a long afterglow, and beyond the afterglow _still_ continued fondling and kissing her, intent on starting the show all over again if his energy would return, and he felt that it would return.

"Then I'll dream about you, sweetheart;" and soon Danny was asleep in Tashonda's arms.

he shook his head, " you have...every right to be upset Sam." he said, " I should have...I mean you saved yourself and you...sharing that with someone who is so far from being a...." he didn't know how to say what he wanted to

SAm smiled softly, "Lenny, its ok."

he let his gaze drop to the floor, " Ok."

She lifted his chin and gently kissed him

he almost melted into the kiss then he pulled back, " Sam...I...there is a little more to my story." he didn't want to talk now but now was the best time

"Ok," she said slowly. "I'm listening."

he took a deep breath, " I wasn't much concerned about using protection when I was...with...with them. I uhm... I know that a few of them did get...uhm...pregnant and I'm sure they didn't keep..." this was so hard, " I just want you to know everything."

Sam stared at him, unable to believe her ears. "Get out," she said quietly.

he had been afraid of that. he nodded and got up quickly leaving her dorm. should he have not told her? he wanted to be honest with her and....well...honesty sucked sometimes

Sam didn't move after he left. How many kids did he have? Did he even care?

Lenny stood outside for a moment, " God...Please don't let the actions of my past be cause for me to lose the only woman I have loved." then he slowly went up to his dorm. he would call Ranjit in the morning




Scott rolled over smiling. he seemed to have hit it off with Leslie's little brother and that meant a lot. it had been a good Christmas, no a great Christmas. He and Leslie and Danny were planning to go ice skating today and he looked forward to that

Lenny hadn't slept well. he had spent half the night on his knees by his bed begging God help him not lose same. he couldn't lose her. the time that he did sleep was restless with a lot o tossing and turning. all in all he felt like he had gotten about two hours of sleep.


Tashonda was up before Danny getting him some breakfast. this was something that she NEVER did for the other men that had been in her life willingly. they had barked at her and some had even slapped her around to get her to cook something for them but for Danny she wanted to more than anything. she had a healthy breakfast of hash browns, eggs, toast and some canned fruit on the side.


Glenda didn't even bother stirring when she woke up. it didn't sound like anyone in the house was up so she just lay there perfectly content in the arms of her husband


Nate stared at the bottle of gin that he hadn't been able to bring himself to open. it had been his fathers kob well done gift after he had gotten out of rehab. how twisted was that?

Sarah had, for the first time in a while, gotten up without an alarm clock at a really good hour of the morning. she got herself a skandy shake and scrounged around enough to make Jack a good omelet.
