me as well.  Wanting to wash up, I went to the bathroom door and knocked.  The music was so loud that Anna didn’t hear me.  I turned the knob and entered the steam filled room.  I moved the shower curtain to the side, and Anna had her eyes closed as she let the water stream out on her face.  She sung the Spanish lyrics to the song, and to get her attention, I stepped in the shower behind her.  Startled, she opened her eyes and slightly turned her head.  She smiled at me and I wrapped my arm around her waist. I took my other arm, wrapping it around her neck.  She kissed my arm and I kissed the back of her head.
                “Did I hurt you,” I whispered. “I’m sorry if I hurt you.”
                “No, you didn’t.”
                “Were you a virgin?  I mean, you were really tight and…”
                “No, you didn’t hurt me. But, I haven’t had sex for a very long time.”
                “Why not and why me?”
                She took my arm from around her neck and turned to face me. “Because I like you.  I’ll tell you about my past another day, okay?”
                I nodded and Anna lathered up soap in her hands. She touched my chest, then moved her hands throughout my entire front side. When I turned around, and pressed my hands against the wall, she worked my backside.  I, of course, returned the favor.  We rinsed ourselves off, and before I knew it, we were back in her bed fucking again. 
                I messed around at Anna’s place until damn near one o’clock in the afternoon.  I knew I’d get cussed out, if not, put out by Ginger. Still, my time with Anna was well worth it.  She walked down the steps in front of me, and when we made it to the kitchen, she offered me something to drink.  A bit in shock, I noticed a picture of Desmon with her nephew on front of the refrigerator.  I pretended not to know who he was and asked her about him.
                “That’s one of Antonio’s best friend, Desmon.  Antonio’s been at his place since last night.”  She smiled and pulled the picture off the refrigerator. “They’ve been through so much together.  I can’t even begin to tell you.”
                I definitely wanted to know more, but I didn’t want Anna to know I was Desmon’s father.  There wasn’t no telling what she’d heard about me, so I left well enough alone.
                “So, do you have any kids of your own?” I asked.
                “No, I don’t have any children.  Antonio is like my child because he’s been with me forever.”
                “I see.”  I took a sip from the glass of lemonade she’d poured, then sat it on the counter. I stretched and yawned. “Listen, I’d better get going.”
                She smiled, knowing that our time together was done. “Yes, you’d better get going.” 
                Anna walked me to the door and I leaned in for a goodbye kiss. 
                “I’ll be back.  You have my word I’ll be back.”
                “What about your phone number?” she rushed to say.  “Can I call you?”
                “Not right now, but soon.”
                Disappointment could be seen on her face, and she backed away from me. She opened the door, not knowing when she’d ever see me again. 
                Ginger’s place wasn’t too far away, so I slowly drove to it.  I knew all hell was about to break loose, and surely after I pulled up, it did.  She busted out of the front door, yelling for the keys to her car.  They weren’t mine, so I didn’t hesitate to turn them over.  I dropped them in her hands and walked inside.
                “What happened to this supposed to be headache you had, Kiley!  I thought you were coming home last night!”
                “I
