you can’t
stop talkin’ about?”
“ He’s outside with
Corbin.”
“ Oh Lord. You didn’t leave
him out there with him, did you?” he joked.
Robin smiled and looped her arm through
Richard’s as they walked onto the patio. Corbin and Matt’s laughter
echoed as they stood by the grill.
“ At least they’re
bonding,” Robin murmured.
Richard turned to her and smiled.
“ Sure seems like
it.”
“ Matt,” Robin
called.
She watched him walk to her. He wore a pair
of khaki swimming trunks, his brown leather flip flops, and a white
muscle shirt. Robin loved admiring his physique. Just thinking
about him without clothing on made her weak and she started
blushing as she walked toward him.
“ Matt,” she continued.
“This is my dad, Richard.”
With a handshake, Matt took his Aviator
sunglasses off and made intense eye contact. “Sir, it’s great to
meet you,” he said politely.
“ Sir…” Richard laughed.
“Where’d you say this boy was from?” he said looking at Robin with
a sweet smile. He turned his focus again to Matt. “Son, you just
call me Rich.”
Matt nodded. “Rich; will do.”
Soon Amy, Fred, and Maria arrived. Robin
introduced each of them to Matt and each showed their sincere
appreciation for the positive change he made in her life. In record
time, Matt earned their admiration and their confidence.

One lazy Sunday afternoon in late September,
Matt convinced Robin to venture into the country with him. Matt
told Robin about a place he wanted her to see; a house in the
country. As they drove down a country road on the outskirts of
town, he described the house as an old white brick saltbox style
home.
Matt pulled onto a lane, overgrown and lush
with trees. Robin saw a large area of woods in the back. There were
several other houses nearby, but not like in the city. They were
sparsely spread out.
As they continued up the lane, the large,
white two-story came into view. She glanced over at Matt.
“ You’re right. It’s
beautiful,” she agreed. In her mind, she saw what it must have
looked like when it was first built.
“ I know.”
They pulled up to the house. Robin waited
for Matt as she continued gazing up at the home, awestruck by its
size and potential. After opening the door for her, Matt grabbed
the picnic basket out of the truck bed. Robin reached behind the
seat and grabbed a blanket.
As they ate, Robin couldn’t take her eyes
off of the majestic old home. She took a drink of her wine and then
felt Matt’s lips on her ear. Gentle kisses turned into passionate
love making in the tall grass. Afterward, as they lay wrapped in
the blanket, Robin continued to be mesmerized by the house.
“ It’s so big,” she said
still gazing up at the structure.
“ Now how come you never
say anything like that about me?” he joked.
She smiled at him and then turned her
attention back to the house.
“ Come love. Let’s get
dressed. I want you to see the rest of the property,” Matt
encouraged.
After putting their clothes back on, Matt
led her inside the old house. The surroundings were rough.
Everything seemed to be falling apart. With her hand in Matt’s, she
followed him back out to the front of the home. She stared up at it
still.
Robin felt her hand drop to her side. The
nervous tension in the air came from Matt.
“ I want to buy it,” he
blurted out with a long pause. “And I want you to live in it with
me.”
She turned to him as he leaned against the
front of the truck.
“ What?”
“ Yep. I’m tired of not
being able to be beside you when I sleep.”
“ But, you sleep during the
day Vampire man. The only time we sleep together is on your days
off.”
“ Okay woman, will you let
me finish?” he said jokingly.
She smiled at him again as she turned back
to the house. She walked toward it. Like a magnet, it was as if
something greater drew her in.
“ I want to marry you,
Robin.”
She stopped immediately and then turned to
look back at
