ROBERTO’S SECRET by Spanky De Bautumn

"We could do that."

They stopped at a liquor store, picked up a couple of bottles, a pack of Virginia Slims, and some munchies and headed back to her place. As they walked through the door, she turned to him, looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Thank you for being here. I don't feel like being alone right now."

She looked so frail and helpless in the shadows of the darkened room. She put her arms around him and +gave him a big hug. "Thank you, Will," she whispered to him.

He didn't know what came over him, but he bent down and kissed her on the forehead. She looked up at him and he kissed her on the mouth, long and soulful, with meaning and emotion. She melted into his arms and suddenly he didn't care what anybody thought. He was shocked to realize he was falling for this cute little she male. He placed the bags from the liquor store on the love seat, scooped her up in his arms and carried her off to the bedroom. As he lay her on the bed he said, "Oh, there is one bit of
unfinished business that I need to care of."

Cody sighed with disappointment, figuring that he had come to his senses and was about to take off.

"Don't get upset, it's a good thing," he smiled.

She gave him a puzzled look.

"Where do you want me to send the reward money?" he asked.

She threw her arms around him and kissed him passionately.

"Oh Will," she cooed.

At that moment they both knew their lives would never be the same.
