questioning our relationship. Everything was moving at breakneck speed. I put some more roast in my mouth to give me time to think. I was letting things get defined by default.
"That is a beautiful aquarium," Cathy said to change the subject. I think she realized she had dug a little deeper than necessary. She decided a little diplomacy was in order. It was nice to see her white flag go up. We spent the rest of the dinner discussing the care and feeding of salt water fish. Cathy enjoyed watching Mufasa lumber about. It is strange how your opinion of someone can change when they take an interest in your favorite things.
Adeline tried to start cleaning the dishes when we finished. I insisted she sit. She cooked, I would clean. Also, the idea of her cleaning again kind of ate at me. It was better to equalize things and hold onto some independence. Cathy surprised me by grabbing a towel and insisting on drying. Adeline was pleased.
"You're moving too fast," Cathy said quietly when Adeline headed off to the bathroom. I knew she didn't mean the dishes.
"Shouldn't you be talking with Adeline about this?" I asked and handed her a clean bowl. She took it and began to dry.
"Already tried," Cathy answered, "she's vulnerable. The fire and the accidents have damaged her confidence. I would be happier if she came back with me tonight." At least she was being honest. I thought for a moment as I washed a plate. Everything was moving quickly. I also knew the comfort was strangely frightening. I shook my head.
"We do well together," I stated, handing her the clean plate. I chastised myself for fearing comfort.
"After you're done banging her, she'll be crying at my door," Cathy said with cruelty. I wondered how long it would take to drown someone in a kitchen sink. I stopped washing and took a deep breath.
"I'm going to ignore that," I said stiffly. I continued washing the plate I had been working on. "No.." I had reconsidered. "You need to trust Adeline. If my intentions were as slimy as you think, you wouldn't even be here." Cathy took a step back as I shoved the clean plate at her. She took it gingerly; I guess I had some evil in my eyes.
"Sorry," Cathy stated firmly and dropped the towel on the counter and placed the wet dish next to it. I wasn't sure what she was sorry about. Adeline walked back into the kitchen, which quickly ended the conversation.
"Let's take a walk," Cathy said, with a forced smile at Adeline. Adeline looked to me and I nodded my head that it was alright. The two headed out the front door as I breathed a sigh of relief. Cathy was not my favorite person.
I finished the dishes and sat on the couch waiting for the ladies to return. I wasn't pleased with the evening so far. I had expected to get grilled, but not judged harshly. I poured a glass of wine and put on some music. I closed my eyes and leaned back, trying to let the stress vacate.

Lips were the first thing I felt. Soft and wonderful, they woke me from my brief nap. I opened my eyes to see Adeline's smiling face as she straddled me, her knees on either side of my thighs.
"Where's your sister?" I asked as my memory flooded back.
"I sent her home," Adeline replied, "she insisted you are going to use me for sex and then throw me out." Her face went serious. "You're not going to throw me out, are you?"
"I would never throw you anywhere," I answered. Adeline's lips found mine again, passionately parting to tease me with her tongue. I responded, caressing her back and pulling her closer. Her lips trailed across my cheek and slowed near my ear.
"I really hope you plan on using me for sex," Adeline breathed into my ear. My pants tightened quickly at her words. I had to clarify something before my will was no longer mine.
"I didn't bail you out to have sex with you." It sounded stupid coming out of my mouth, but I really needed to say it. I felt a smile on my cheek.
