Sorry this a very short chapter

Chapter 2

We all turned to look at where the shout had come from, and there stood Alex, with his friend's mom stood behind him. He came rushing over to us and threw his arms around my waist sobbing. I looked at my friend, Lana as she slowly made her way over with an apologetic look on her face. "He fell in playground and sprained his wrist," she explained. I nodded knowingly, ever since his father died, every time he hurt himself he had to have me kiss it better.

Crouching down I looked at Alex and asked him what hurt.

"My hand," he quietly stuttered.

"Let me kiss it better then" I said, as I did just that. He started to sniff and wiped at his, now, running nose with his arm.

I slowly stood up and realised both Leland and Duane Lee were still stood there watching the interaction.

"This is Alex," I said, introducing him to the two men.

Duane Lee seemed to be in shock but Leland just put out his hand and said, "Hi Alex, I'm Leland."

Alex smiled shyly, "I know you're on TV."

"Alex!" I exclaimed, couldn't believe he had been that blunt.

"Then you know who this dolt is?" Leland answered hitting at Duane Lee out of his trance.

"Yea he's Duane Lee, your brother." Alex softly replied., before turning around and looking up at me "Mama, why don't I have a brother?"

"Uh, um," I stuttered, "because your Daddy and I weren't able to have children," I sighed, slowly blinking out the tears that had formed in my eyes, thinking about the children me and Kai could of had.

"Hiya kid," Duane Lee said as he misdirected Alex from seeing my wet eyes.

"Alex," Lana spoke, "You coming back to our house for the sleepover?"

"Yea!" he shouted, now he had seen me.

"Let's go then, you can tell everyone how you met Dog's …" she commented as she led him from the bar.

I smiled softly as I watched them leave.

"So you married then?" Duane Lee asked, wanting to know more about this girl he knocked over.

"Widowed, actually." I replied.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Well I'd better be going," I said, "Hope you guys have a good night."

"Thanks," Leland said, "You too."

Duane Lee just smiled as I turned to leave the bar.

I was just fishing my car keys from my bag when I heard someone shout, "Megan."

Turning around there stood Duane Lee.

"Yeah?" I asked "Everything OK?"

"Everything's fine, I just wanted to do this," he said bending his head and crashing his lips onto mine.

His lips were so soft whilst his beard rubbed against the skin on my cheek, and I felt aroused for the first time in a long while. I started to kiss him back, swinging my arms around his neck and pulling harder towards me.

I suddenly heard the noise of an engine and it pulled me from my aroused daze. Realising what I was doing I grabbed at my keys, jumped in my car and took off.
