Passion of Love

As we lay on my bed, hot and sweaty from the heat of our passionate love, I thought of Samuel when he was with Christina and me. I thought of all the times we shared as friends. I loved remembering those times. All those good times...

"So... what are you thinking about?" he finally asked me.

"Oh, nothing much."

"Liar," he said with a smirk.

I started to giggle. "You?"

"Hm... I just don't understand."

"Understand what?"

"Why do you want an old man like me?"

I giggled some more, thinking of his question. "Samuel, you're not like another guy I once knew. You really loved me."

"How long have you known that you loved me?"

"Hm... the day you saved me."

"I see."

"And you?" I asked.

"Same time."

"Samuel?"

"Yes, angel?"

"I forgot something."

"What?"

I sat up and laid on his chest. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

He just smiled, then laughed for a while.

"Thanks," he finally said.

"Welcome, Sam," I said, giving him another one of my kisses.

"So, angel... wanna go again?"

I gave him a look, one eye open, the other eye half closed. "Hm... you know Sam... it really doesn't seem like you're old."

"Hm... you're right!" Then he carelessly kissed my neck.

"Wow, Sam, I've never seen this side of you before."

Sam sat up, and I sat up too. He took all the covers off the bed, then smirked and said, "Wow, Delia, I've never seen THIS side of you before, either."

Then he smiled and kissed me again. I felt so alive.

GREAT NEWS HONEY!

I was sewing up May's pants. She was playing tag with the other kids when she fell and cut her knee and her pants. Then I heard Sam's car--he must be here already. It's been months since I first moved here. Samuel and I are still in love, but we aren't going to tell anybody about this, not yet.

"DELIA, GREAT NEWS!" he shouted.

"What is it?" I asked, still sewing.

"Today I'm named the greatest professor of all time!"

"Are you joking?"

"NO!" he said happily.

"That's so great, Sam," I said running to him to give him a kiss.

(Later that day, in Samuel's room)

"Samuel?" I asked, holding him.

"Yeah?" he asked, returning my hug.

"Remember the first day we met, when we went to that pizza place?"

"Yeah, I remember... why?"

"Well, I remember we had a discussion about children... right?"

"Yeah? Hm... you want my baby?" he asked, smirking.

"No."

"No? Why not?"

"Because I'm already going to have your baby."

"You are?" o.O

"Yeah, I found out not so long ago."

"You lived here for... about 5 months, and you're how many months?"

"Three."

"Hm... well, then... do you know if it's a he or a she?"

"It's a he." I couldn't believe it. "I am having another son! I never thought I'd have another one!"

"Are you mad at it?"

"Mad? No, not mad. Just surprised, that's all."

What's in a name?

Weeks later, May started to notice how big I was getting. We had to tell her that I was having a baby, but we never told her who the father was. Until...

That day, she was drawing a picture while I was cooking. Samuel was sitting at the kitchen table talking to May.

"Delia?"

"Yes, May?"

"Who's the babe's daddy?"

"The what?"

"The babe!" She pointed to my belly.

"Um... well--"

"May, Mrs. Ketchem is having a baby with Mr. Ketchem."

"Oh. I forgot she's married." May took her picture and went to the front room.

I gave Samuel a look. "Mr. Ketchem?" I asked.

"Yeah, you said that you were once married, right, and that you-know-who didn't want you to carry his last name... so I guess you're a Mrs. Ketchem!"

I smiled, then returned to my cooking.

(Later that night)

I love my life. Now that I'm with Samuel, everything is... so perfect... Or so I thought. After the night of... well... "Sweet Passion," we talked about life and how this would affect his work and our whole lives.

"Delia?"

"Yeah, honey?"

"I want to ask you something."

"You already did... but go on."

He stared deep in my eyes; I didn't know what he was going to say.

"Delia, I love you, and you love me. We've known each other since college."

"I know that, Sam."

"Marry me!"

"Marry you?"
