Chapter 6: The New Girl
"Kevin, stop please," Lucy pushed away from Kevin, who was attempting to kiss her passionately.
"Luce, are you ok?" Kevin asked, worried about his girlfriend's sudden disinterest in him.
Kevin had come into Lucy's room to tell her something. But Lucy seemed to have her mind on something else…something else that Kevin didn't know about but intended to find out.
"I'm fine…look, can you please just leave me alone?" Lucy asked.
"Wait, Luce…" Kevin said as Lucy was pushing him out of her room.
"What?" Lucy asked him impatiently. Why wouldn't he just leave her alone already?
"I just wanted to tell you something. I got assigned a new partner at work today. Her name is Roxanne Richardson and I invited her to dinner," Kevin said.
"Ok, whatever," Lucy pushed him out of her room and shut the door.
Lucy wasn't even sure if she loved Kevin anymore. Sure, Kevin was good looking, kind, sweet, caring, and nice guy. But she wasn't sure if she was as crazy for him as she had been just a few days ago. This whole "falling-for-Robbie" thing had gotten her all confused.
Who did she love more? Robbie or Kevin? Darn it! She just wanted to know that! Was it so hard to ask?!
Lucy tried to focus on something else. Kevin had told her about how his new partner from work was coming over for dinner tonight. Roseanne Robinson…or something like that.
Whatever…she'd find out later anyway. Kevin probably wouldn't let her avoid this dinner like she had last night's.

Roxanne Richardson approached the front porch of the Camden home. She was a young blonde haired, blue-eyed woman of about 21 or 22. She was wearing a blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and a denim jacket—nothing too fancy.
"Here goes nothing," She said to herself as she rang the doorbell.
Robbie heard the doorbell ring. He quickly went to answer it.
When he opened the door, Robbie immediately recognized the young blonde at it. It was Roxanne Richardson. They'd gone to school together-up until 7th grade, that is-when Robbie's family had moved away. He hadn't seen her since.
"Oh my gosh…Roxanne Richardson!?" Robbie asked in surprise.
Roxanne looked at him closely. She remembered him immediately.
"Robbie Palmer! It's so great to see you!" Roxanne beamed.
Robbie went out onto the front porch and closed the front door. The two began to talk, catching up on times old and new alike.
