Two weeks later Brie was in her hotel room. Her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey." Randy said. "What's up?"

"Not much." "Birdie just got up from a nap."

"Wanna go to lunch?"

"Sure."

"I'll meet you guys in the lobby in ten minutes."

"Ok." "Bye."

"Bye."

Brie hung up the phone and picked up Birdie.

"We have to get ready." "We're going to lunch with Randy." Brie said.

"Goo." Birdie said.

"Yeah Randy."

They met Randy in the lobby and went to a health food restaurant. They were eating.

"Are your counseling sessions getting any better?" Randy asked.

"Not really." "Daniel started this new depression medication." "I hope it helps." "I'm about at the end of my rope."

"It's not fair to you to be so unhappy."

"I know but despite everything, I still love him." "I know that sounds stupid."

"Not at all." "We always want to help the people we love but we can't help them if they don't want to be helped." "I know you want to keep your family together, believe me, I know." "When I was married to my first wife Samantha we tried everything we could to make it work." "We tried for months but in the end we both knew we couldn't be together anymore." "It's hard to admit it." "Not only to the other person but to yourself."

"I don't know what to do."

"I know." "I wish I could help you."

"Just you supporting me helps."

The waitress brought them the check.

"What a beautiful baby." The waitress said.

"Thank you." Brie said.

"How old?"

"Almost four months."

"She's blessed to have such loving parents." "I can tell you both are."

"I'm not her father."

"That's even better." "When a man decides to step into a father role when he doesn't have to, that is a good man."

The next night Randy was in a restaurant on a date. He had on a white dress shirt and jeans. His cell phone started to ring.

"Sorry." He got up and answered it. "Hello?" He could hear crying on the other end of the line. "Brie?" "What's wrong?"

"Daniel and I just had another fight."

"Calm down." "I'm coming over." "I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"Alright." They hung up.

He went back to his table and took out his wallet to pay for the meal.

"I'm sorry Madison." "I have to go." He said. "One my friends are in trouble." "I'm so sorry." He left.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock on Brie's door. She answered it. She wasn't crying but Randy could tell she had been. He went in. They sat down on the couch.

"What happened?" Randy asked.

"I just called him to say hi and he bit my head off." "I'm so sick and tired of this." "I don't know if I can take anymore." "What am I doing wrong?"

"Nothing." "Brie, you're great." "You're a great mother." "You're a great person." "This isn't your fault." Without thinking about it he kissed her but quickly pulled away. He stood up. "Oh god, I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have."

She stood up and stood in front of him. He expected to be slapped a couple hundred times but to his surprise she kissed him. She knew it was wrong but she'd been deprived of affection and intimacy for such a long time. It felt so good to finally be receiving some. He kissed her back. All of their kisses were full of passion, desire, want, need. He loved the feel of her soft, warm lips. He lifted her up off the ground. Her legs went around his waist. They went into the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and was on top of her. Suddenly he stopped and looked at her. He needed to know she wanted this as much as he did. He could tell from they look on her eyes that she did. He took a condom out of his back pocket. They kissed and sat up so he could take off her shirt. She put her head back as he kissed her acrossed her neck. "Mmmmm." She moaned extra sensitive to every feeling and caress. She put her head up. As they kissed again she started unbuttoning his shirt. He groaned against her lips as her hands touched his bare chest. He unbuttoned his shirt the rest of the way and took it off. She laid him down on his back and slowly kissed him down his body. She took off his jeans and boxers. "Ohhh." He groaned as he felt her mouth moving slowly between his legs. "Brie." "Brie." He groaned. After a few minutes she went faster. "Ahhhh-hmmmm." "Brie oh my god." "Ooohhhhh, uhnnnn." "Oh god." He moaned giving in. She came back up to his mouth. As they kissed she felt him undo her bra. He rolled her on her back and started kissing the middle of chest as he squeezed her breasts. She moaned. "Ohhhh." She moaned as she felt his tongue on her skin. "Randy." She moaned loudly as he took her left breast in his mouth doing the same thing with the other. She moaned as he kissed and licked his way down her body. He took off her jeans and slowly removed her panties with his teeth. She moaned as she felt his hand slowly moving up her inner thigh. She moaned as she felt his hand inside her. He moved it slowly. "Do you like this?" He asked. "Yes." She moaned out. She felt him take his hand out and replace it with his tongue. "Ohhhhh." She moaned loudly. "Randy." "Randy." He went faster. "Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh" "Ohhh, my god, ohhhh." She moaned giving in. He came back up to her and slipped inside her they kissed. "Brie." He groaned as they started moving slowly. "Randy." She moaned. "You are so amazing." He said breathlessly. He went faster. "Mmmmmm." She moaned. "Uhnnn." They kissed and kept kissing. "Oh my god, Randy." She moaned against his lips. "Oh Brie." He groaned. "Randy, ohhh, yes, oh my god, Randy." She moaned giving in. "God Brie." He groaned giving in.

Afterwards she was laying on his chest.

"Wow." She said.

"Yeah." "You were fantastic."

She looked at him. "If you want you can stay."

"Ok." They kissed and went to sleep.
