Chapter Five
"Mommy." Ella screamed when she came in with Max.
"Hi baby." Robin said scooping her up. "Thanks for bringing her home."
"No problem, you ladies have a nice night." Max said.
"You too." Ella said.
Max smiled and left. Robin walked over and sat on the couch with Ella.
"So, baby how do you feel about going out for dinner?" Robin asked.
"With Patrick?" Ella asked hopeful.
"Well, Patrick invited us over to his place for dinner." Robin said.
"Can we go, please, please." Ella asked.
"I have never seen you so taken with someone before." Robin said. "Why is Patrick so special?"
"Because he makes your eyes sparkle." Ella said.
"Oh." Robin said. "Ok, so are you up for going?"
"Can I ware and dress and have pigtails?" Ella asked.
"Sure." Robin said. "Come on you need a bath and then I will do your hair."
They walked upstairs giggling and having fun.
"Wow, mommy you look amazing." Ella said.
"Thank you, and you look like a doll." Robin said.
"A cute doll right?" Ella asked.
"The cutest." Robin said. "Are we ready?"
"Yes we are." Ella said. "Wait I need a coat."
"Not this time." Robin said. "Patrick doesn't live far away."
"Really?" Ella inquired.
"You'll see." Robin said leading her into the hall.
Robin smiled and took Ella's hand and led her across the hall. Knocking on the door, Patrick opened it looking amazing.
"Patrick." Ella said. "You're our neighbor?"
"I am." Patrick said moving so they could come in.
"You have a big house." Ella said walking in.
"Thanks." Patrick said. "The sky light up there lets me see all the stars at night."
"Cool." Ella said. "Mommy isn't it cool that Patrick is our neighbor."
"Yes." Robin said.
"Well dinner is almost done, so why don't we go see how things are going?" Patrick said.
"Can I help?" Ella asked.
"Sure." Patrick said lifting her up and taking Robin's hand and leading them into the kitchen.
"So what are we having?" Robin asked.
"Well I really don't know what you to like, but I figured I would make one of my favorites and hope you like it." Patrick said.
"Look pasta mommy." Ella said when Patrick said her on the counter.
"Yes, spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and I have chocolate moose for dessert." Patrick said. "Does that sound good?"
"Yeah." Ella said. "I love spaghetti."
"Yes a ritual in our house every Thursday." Robin said. "Can I help with the salad?"
"Sure." Patrick said. "The knife is there so fee free to chop away."
Robin smiled and went to work.
"Patrick did you know you make mommy's eyes sparkle?" Ella asked.
"Do I?" Patrick asked.
"Yep, she deserves to sparkle." Ella said.
"Yes she does." Patrick said. "Wanna taste?"
Ella took the cooled sauce into her mouth.
"Well?" Patrick asked waiting for her to say something.
"It needs more onion and pepper." Ella said.
"Ok." Patrick said adding some and then letting her taste again.
"Perfect." Ella said.
"Ok." Patrick smiled. "So, Miss Ella what do you want to be when you are all grown up?"
"I like cooking, but I like saving people like mommy." Ella said. "Plus I love to draw, so I don't know."
"That is cool, I wanted to be a race car driver." Patrick said.
"Cool." Ella said.
"No way." Robin said. "Get the idea out of your pretty little head."
"I don't want to be a race car driver mommy." Ella said.
"Ok." Robin said.
Patrick laughed at her and move Ella to the ground.
"Will you help me set the table?" Patrick said.
"Yes I will." Ella said.
Patrick handed her the eating mats, napkins and silverware. He took the plates and glasses. Soon the table was all set.
"Why don't you have a seat and will eat." Patrick said.
Ella hopped into her seat and Patrick walked back into the kitchen.
"Salad is done." Robin said.
"It looks good." He said leaning over and giving her a quick kiss.
Robin smiled and took it to the table. Walking back the carried out the pasta, sauce and bread.
"Would you like wine?" Patrick asked
"Sure." Robin said. "If you have some juice it will work for Ella."
"Apple or Orange?" He asked Ella.
"Apple please." Ella said.
Patrick smiled and walked back to the kitchen. He returned several minutes later with a bottle of wine and a pitcher of apple juice.
He poured them some and then sat down.
"Do we pray before we eat?" Ella asked.
"I usually don't but if you two do, we can?" Patrick said.
"We usually don't." Robin said.
"Ok, so shall we eat?" Patrick asked.
"Yes, it looks great." Robin said.
Everyone one dished up and they are and talked.
"So, why are you a doctor?" Ella asked.
"Well my dad is a doctor and my mom is a nurse." Patrick said. "One time while racing I was in an accident. I was hurt really bad and when I saw how the doctors saved my life I knew I wanted to do the same."
"Your parents must be proud." Robin said.
"Yes and thankful." Patrick said. "That I am no longer racing, but I am still a fan, I go to races all the time."
"Sounds fun." Robin said.
Patrick laughed and they went on eating and talking.
"I am so full." Ella said.
"I see." Robin said wiping her face.
"How about you go watch a movie in the living room while we clean up?" Patrick said.
"Ok." Ella said climbing off her chair and walking to the living room.
"You need some help?" Robin asked when Patrick started clearing things off the table.
"Sure." Patrick said.
Soon they had everything cleaned up and put away.
"So, are you full or do you want dessert?" Patrick asked standing with in an inch of her.
"What's for dessert?" Robin said running her hand up his chest.
"Well I know what I want." Patrick said moving his hand behind her back.
"What about Ella?" Robin asked.
"Right." Patrick said leaning his head against hers.
"I should check on her." Robin said.
"I'll come too." Patrick said taking her hand and leading her out to the living room.
Cars was playing on the TV but Ella was fast asleep holding Patrick's racecar pillow.
"I think she is out." Patrick said.
"Yeah, maybe I should take her home." Robin said.
"Let her sleep for awhile, we can have dessert and we can talk." Patrick said pulling out a blanket and covering Ella up.
Robin smiled and they walked back into the dining with Patrick.
"Do you want dessert?" Patrick asked.
"No." Robin said.
"Do you want to talk?" Patrick asked.
"No." Robin replied.
"Ok, what do you want to do?" Patrick asked.
"This." Robin said leaning up and kissing him.
Patrick picked Robin up and carried her to his room. Laying her on the bed he covered her body with his. Robin could feel his need for her.
"Are you sure?" Patrick asked.
"Yes." Robin whispered.
Patrick stopped kissing her.
"I'll be right back." Patrick said getting up and leaving really fast.
He returned several minutes later.
"Where did you go?" Robin asked as he started undoing the buttons on her shirt.
"I locked the door." Patrick said kissing the new revealed flesh.
Robin smiled and started undoing the buttons on his shirt. Patrick laid Robin down with Robin as they kissed. It had been so long for Robin she was scared but knew Patrick wouldn't hurt her.
"We don't have too." Patrick said as he saw her shake.
"No, it has just been so long." Robin said. "I want to be with you."
"How about we lay here, I will hold you and when you are ready I will make love to you." Patrick said.
Robin smiled and kissed him.
"How is that you are who I have dreamed of for long?" Robin asked.
"I don't know." Patrick said. "But you are who I have dreamed of for a life time. I'll I know is you are real and here."
"It is like we have known each other for a life time." Robin said. "Instead of just twenty four hours."
"I want to spend a lifetime with you." Patrick said. "And Ella."
"Ella is my life, ever since she came into my life. I never thought I would love again, never thought I would feel like this again."
Patrick kissed her, not one of passion and desire, but one of warmth and tenderness.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Robin asked.
"I didn't until I looked into your eyes." Patrick said. "Do you?"
"I do now." Robin said looking him in the eyes. "Patrick?"
"Yeah?" He said not less then an inch from her face.
"Make love to me." Robin said.
