Part 32
Richard knew why i said no. He hugged me tight and we cried together. I cried even harder whn he told me that they were to leave 2 days later.
We ended up spending the rest of the night talking. He promised that he would visit me when he could and call once a week, and always write letters. I knew he would be true to his promise.
The next morning me and Richard parted and i went to Pauls shed. I knocked lightly and he answered, he didnt slam the doo on my face, nor did he ask what i was doing there... he just looked at me.
"You'r leaving" was all i could say
"Yeah, tomorrow.. Chris I..."
"Dont say anything.. im going to miss you" I responded and hugged him. We began kissing and made love for the last time in the shed.
We spent the rest of the day together, talking and walking and the next day i watched them drive off in the tarago.
Everything important drove off that day. my boyfriend, my best friend and Tim..
The people i first got drunk with, my first kiss.. and second.. and third... my first sexual experience. And they gave me you.. my first child...
"But Mama, doesnt that make uncle Paul my daddy?"
"Well yes.. it does. He knows your his daughter... I told him months ago.. but i believe he's always known.
"What about uncle Richard and Uncle Tim???"
"They know too"
She smiled at me and reminded me of Paul.
Richard kept his promise and visited when he could, we would talk for hours on the phone. Paul never visited but he called, wrote, sent pictures and merchindise.. tickets to every show incase i could make it.
"Now darling.. its time for bed.. be good for Aunty Cathy.. ive got a reunion to get too"
We hugged and i settled her in bed. I said goodbye to cathy and made my way to my old school... it felt strange being there.
I spotted Richard and gave him the biggest hug, Tim joined us and we reminissed about about our days in school. The i caught site of Paul. He looked so sexy in that suit. I walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Chris.. you look... fantastic" He said and we hugged.
"You look great Paul... so what are you up to now?"
"Actually we're thinking of taking a break and coming back here for a while.. Chris??"
"yeah"
"Would you like to go to dinner?"
"Id love to"
"Perhaps you could bring Pautiric too"
We took eachothers hand and in our minds...
we never let go again..
The End...
