WHEN I FALL: Episode 21-30

EPISODE 28

I crashed on Kathleen’s b0dy, my head on h.er sh0ulder, our n@ked b0dies making c0ntact. Kathleen hugged me and slowly said.
“I… Love you Joseph!”
Without any reply, I kssed her cheek and got up from her b0dy. I didn’t know what to say or think at that moment… Cause that was the best inte.rc0urse I have ever had.

I grabbed my p@nts from the floor and pulled it up my l.egs.
I grabbed my other cl0thes.
I stood up while Kathleen sat up. “I’ll head to the shower first” I said.
I looked around the room and on the floor b.ed to see Mary fast asleep, with the bread still in her hand.
I walked to Mary, grabbed her and walked out of the room.

I placed Mary on her crib and left for the bathroom.

Under the shower, I recalled what just happened.
I didn’t know when I smiled. It was unexplainable feeling and I feel like I could go cr@zy trying to remember what and how I felt.
I walked back to my room with a t0wel around my wa!st and I changed into my night wear and I took Mary out of her crib and placed her on the bed.
I laid beside Mary and before falling asleep I remembered Kathleen’s words and voice *I… Love you Joseph!*

She was like a different person tonight.
I closed my eyes and sleep consumed me immediately.

I woke up the next morning, and now becoming a normal thing, I couldn’t find Mary on the bed. I smiled and got down from the bed. As I got up I realised I didn’t dream about Kathleen this time.
Was it because I have been craving for her body for too long and now that we finally did it… It’s over?
Still thinking about it, I head to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, the house smelled like pancakes and I assumed Kathleen made them. But how did she? She doesn’t know how to cook.

As I came out of the bathroom, I flinched by Kathleen’s loud voice. “Good morning sir Joseph,”
I paused and looked as she was setting the table with an apron on her body and with Mary beside her trying to eat the rope from her apron.
“HI, good morning.” I gave a small smile and walked up to grab Mary, she didn’t let go of the rope from the apron so I had to open her fingers one by one till she released the rope.

“Why are you doing all this yourself.” I asked as Kathleen stood up and gave a tired sigh. She had small sweats around her forehead that made some strands of her hair glued to it.
“It’s nothing, and you were asleep, I didn’t want to wake you up. And besides before I was even here, You usually wake up very early and make breakfast for you and Mary, so this is nothing, whatever you can do, I can do it ten times better.” Kathleen smiled showing me ten with her fingers.

“You made pancakes?” I asked as Kathleen set the food on the table.
“Yes.” she Beamed.
“How did you learn how to Make them.?” I asked.
“I watched you once!” she replied taking Mary from me, sitting down and placing Mary on her thigh. Suddenly acting like my wife.
I sat down opposite her and we both start to eat.
I was happy!.
Not even about happy, my body was feeling relieved about something.

Kathleen glanced at me several times, smiles on her faces as she fed Mary, transferring the smiles to my little angel on her thigh.
And one thing that I know that made me felt relieved also was that, the way she smiled, the way she acted like what happened last night was bound to happen and should happen all the time… On the look of it she seemed happy about it.
And now what I don’t understand, now that ‘that’ has happened. What are we now? Are we moving forward with it, or do we tend to go backward…
If I should ask Kathleen about this she wouldn’t think twice about moving forward with me. But would I even agree with myself.? I am scared of something but yet I don’t know what that is.

A knock came in at the front door “I’ll get it” I said to Kathleen who wanted to drop Mary and go get the door.
“Okay” she nodded.
I stood up and walked to the door. I opened the door and a little bit surprised when I saw Suzanne standing there.
Her upper l!ps were swollen and she had bruises at both sides of her cheek.
“Joseph” she sniffed like she was so grateful to see me.
