It was about 2:00AM when I felt a tug on my arm. I slowly start to wake up when I realize it is Svetlana. She is sitting on the edge of the couch and leaning over me saying; ” Rob Are you awake? ” I am slowly stirring and looking at her from the moonlight coming through the livingroom window. She has on a silky black button up shirt that just stops at the top of her matching pajama pants. (She can make anything look sexy.) I look up at her and say; ” What’s the matter? Is everything allright? ” She says; ” yes everything is all right, in a way, I guess. It’s just that I can’t sleep. I have had something on my mind for a long time and I just can’t sleep at night anymore thinking of it. ” so I ask her; ” What’s bothering you that has you staying up late at night? ” She takes my right hand and holds it against the side of her face as she is saying; ” Well you know how much I loved my husband and that he was the only man I have ever made love with up to this day. it’s just that ever since he died I have not gone on any dates, or even thought about it, let alone being intimate with someone else, till now. ” The ” till now ” had me waking up real quick! I was hoping this was leading to where I thought it might be going.

Svetlana says; ” Oh Rob, We have been very good friends for a long time and I have come to realize that when we are not together that I am missing you, and needing you more and more, so that’s why I am out here now. I just need to know if you feel about me like I feel about you.” I started to talk and just stopped, looking into her eyes,sparkling from the moon light, and the worried look on her face as to what I would tell her.
