Dedicated to 'Natalie Teager'


Natalie was sitting in her home, on the couch. Her daughter had gone to a sleep over at a friend's house, and it was nice to have the house alone. She knew she wouldn't be able to live there much longer, it was too expensive. She sat in front of the fire place sipping hot chocolate in her comfortable pajamas. When the doorbell rang. She got up hesitantly, she was comfortable, but moved to the door swiftly.

"Hi" she said surprised. It was Randy.

"Hi" he said quietly.

"What's wrong?" she asked thinking Adrian might be hurt.

"N- nothing. I uh, just wondered if you wanted to get a cup of… coffee or something… like that" he said. She was surprised again, but could see he needed somebody to talk to.

"Sure. I need to get changed though. Come in" she smiled as he walked in.

"I was going to call but… I didn't" he told her.

"That's ok. Wait here." She said as she walked off. He looked around the living room and sat on the couch in front of the fire. A few minutes later Natalie came back out to see him asleep on the couch. She smiled and pulled a blanket over him gently. She kneeled down next to him and put her hand gently on his cheek. She couldn't let him know how she really felt. But, him lying there, asleep, she wanted to kiss him goodnight. To wake him and let him sleep next to her in her bed. She leaned in slowly and kissed him gently on the forehead. She watched him for another few minutes, then went to bed.

Finished.
