Chapter 11

Sitting in his living room alone, Abraham was feeing extremely sad after Shirley Baily, the beautiful woman he has been falling in love with crack his head with a Pyrex-dish. Simply because, she thought, he was cheating on her with Mitchell Farina, one of the agency's escorts who he had recently dated, spontaneously showed up at his house claiming that he had promised her everlasting love. When in actually, he had only told her she should wait for him to give her a call after he had had some issues in his life rectified.

He was resting on his couch waiting for the police to show since the paramedics had called, reporting to them that a violent crime had taken place at Creek Valley with their patient, Abraham Churchill who was living in the community and who they were attending to at that very moment.

The announcements of the incident were soon dispatched to Sheriff Richards's radio and he called in that he would go and check it out. But upon arriving there and talking with his friend, Abraham, the sheriff then learned that he didn't care to press any charges on the person who had given him this gaping wound on his head. And neither did he care to give him any information at all about who the person is who had inflected this wound on him because he was still madly in love with her although she had wounded him.

Still considering Abraham to be his longtime friend, Sheriff Warren Richards, stepped Abraham, went inside his refrigerator and took out two red-bull, popped one open and began gulping it down his throat before hauling his pants over his big gut and saying good-bye to his friend.

Less than two weeks after feeling better from his injuries, Abraham went to the hardware to pick up some materials to start some new project given to him by one of his longtime clients from out of the area. And there, in the aisles' of the hardware store, he was Roxanna Richards checking the shelves for spray paints, paint brushes and rollers.

Happy to see her, he went closer to her and spoke softly in her ear.

"I hope all is forgiven!"

Looking him dead in the eyes, she asked.

"And what were the offenses?"

"You heard about the rumors... you know they are not true!"

Abraham responded gazing into her eyes.

"And how would I know that they are not true?"

Roxanna questioned with a slight crock of her lips intended to give him a simile.

"Because I'm alive and still here; that's how you would know!"

Abraham interjected quickly with a very serious tone.

Now the slight crack of her lips were broken wide open and she began getting into his face while poking him on the chest and uttering to him.

"I know that you aren't like that at all because my brother filled me in about you!"

Roxanna spoke.

"Your brother!"

"Who the hell is your brother?"

Abraham ask sharply.

"You hang out with him practically every day from what I heard!"

Roxanna responded.

"I hang out with him every day? I hardly believe that statement is true!"

Abraham suggested.

Reflecting for a moment to think about the only male person in his life, Abraham belted out.

"Don't tell me, Sheriff Richards his your brother?"

"Yes, he is!"

Roxanna replied smilingly.

"Oh my god, don't tell me that freak is your brother?"

"I really can't believe this right now!"

Abraham went on to exclaimed.

"Well, you better believe it! And he is the one who convince me that what they were saying about you weren't true because he had spent a lot of time around you just to find out is such is true!"

Roxanna explained.

"He sure has!"

Abraham replied.

"I really have fallen for you hard, and almost every girl I've met since I've met you, I compare them to you!"

Abraham spoke trying to wooing back.

"You have?"

Roxanna asked smilingly.

"Yes, I have!"

Abraham answered wearily while raising his hand to gently touch her shoulders.

"To be honest with you, I really miss you so much, and I certainly would like for us to start dating once again!"

Abraham spoke with shivering emotions in his voice.

Staring into his eyes Roxanna pressingly asked.

"You really want for us to start seeing each other again?"

"I'm very positive about dating you, even marrying you someday; because you have never ever left my mind since that morning you left my house with the mob at your tale trying to persecute you for a lie!"

"How could I ever forget?"

Abraham spoke with all sincerity in his voice.

Leaning towards him with her voluptuous breast rubbing against his chest, Roxanna softly kissed him on his cheek, whispering for his hearing.

"I would love to have you back!"

Her answer had sent shock waves down his spine, now he couldn't help, but to reach for her shoulders, pulled her against his chest and kissed her passionately! Before telling her, how grateful he was for her to give him a second chance of loving her and building a life with her!

Minutes later another kiss followed then another and then another!

And soon they began exchanging phone numbers again and making promises to each other that they would be calling each other as soon as they return home!

Just before going their separate ways to complete their shopping lists Abraham brought Roxanna's hands to his lips and kissed them softly and expressed to her that he wanted no one else in his life but her. He then reached for her lips, kissed her again and sternly told her.

"Please, don't let nothing came between us every again!"

He now was gently squeezing her hands placed in his grip one more time, before flirtingly releasing them from the palm of his hands! They then went their separate ways to finish up with their shopping and whatever else had brought them there to the hardware store.

Soon after returning home from the hardware store, unloading his truck and settling down in front the television, Abraham saw the very familiar face of Kathrine Chapman plastered on the television!

She was still in the hospital and was recovering from the dreadful incident that almost had taken her life, and now she was talking!

Talking about who had done this horrendous act of violence to her!

And in no unequivocal terms, she told the television cameras and press, the person who had badly assaulted her was no other than Sheriff Warren Richards! Expressing to the media that his act on her was not the first time, but that he had done so numerous times before; and also sexually assaulting her! But this time, he had really gone too far, hitting his teeth from inside his mouth, breaking his foot and also his ribs!

"He has no business saying he's serving the public because he could have beaten me to death without anyone finding out, after he had sexually assaulted me! Thanks to one of my good friends who came by my apartment, saw me in this state and call for help!"

The transvestite stated in front the TV cameras sadly.

While journalists push more questions at her, her doctors wheeled her away and her attorney had a stock of file under his arm as big as the wheel chair his client was seated in as he demanded that the press back away from his client because his client wasn't answering anymore questions.

Soon Abraham phone began ringing and when he hurried to snatch if from off the hook, he learnt that it was Roxanna at the other end of the line; calling him and terribly weeping as she screamed out in his hearing.

"How could he have done such a wicked thing to someone?"

Not wanting to say anything over the phone line that might be used against him later, Abraham asked.

"Roxanna, would you like to come over here and stay for a while?"

Abraham asked with much concern in his voice.

"I want to be anywhere else than in this damn house with him!"

She belted out angrily.

"Sweetheart, are you able to drive or would you like for me to come and get you?"

Abraham questioned, not wanting her, getting around the steering wheel and driving knowing that she was very much beside herself right now.

"Please, Abraham, come and get me because I don't want to see his face ever again!"

Roxanna lashed out.

"Roxanna, he his your brother, so please, don't talk like that now! I'll be there to get you, because the media is going to be finding your house very soon! So please, pack a bag with whatever you're going to need before I get there and have your car keys in hand so we can just get out of there before the sharks comes down on us!"

Abraham suggested worryingly before hanging up the phone.

Seconds later he was hastily walking down his street trying to make his way to the center to catch a taxi that would take over to Roxanna house along Myrtle Park.

And upon reaching Roxanna's house, Abraham could clearly see that the media was already there, parked up around the parameters of her house, scouting out to bombard anyone with questions going in or coming out of the residence where Sheriff Richards and his sister lived.

But fearlessly, Abraham walked to the front door and knocked and he could hear Roxanna shouting.

"Just a minute, I'm coming!"

Minutes later she was at the door and opening it with a large travelling bag over her shoulder and another in her hand. Abraham took the heavier of the two from her shoulder and brought it to her car while media personnel looked on suspiciously. Not quite sure who the both of them were or knew if they had anything to do with the sexual assault case that was being filed against her brother. Without much delay, Abraham and Roxanna swiftly jumped into her car and began making their way out of the neighborhood before anyone from the media could approach them and started asking questions about the pending case that was all over the news for months, involving her brother.

Out of the way of danger, Abraham ease his foot from off the gas and reached for Roxanna's hand where he brought it to his lips and kissed it!

Soon the tears began flowing again and she began expressing how embarrass she was for what she had done and also what her brother had done to that transvestite, beating him mercilessly. Causing him to be in the hospital for months have his entire body restructured.

Returning to his house in Roxanna's car, Abraham was shocked but not very surprise to find Sheriff Richards sitting on his door steps. Lifting her belongs from her car and bringing them to the inside his house, Abraham turned to Warren Richards, seated on his door steps and asked.

"What are you doing here?"

"Man, I need somewhere to stay while things settle down a bit!"

Warren Richards responded.

"Well, you just can stay here!"

Abraham spoke firmly.

"Please, man, I need somewhere to stay until this heat against me blow over, I beg of you, please!"

Sheriff Richards pleaded.

"No man, I can't have you here with all this heat on you!"

Abraham spoke in a very serious tone of voice.

"I can stay in your barn, on the hay on the top shelves! Please man I beg of you!"

But Abraham words were carved in concrete and once again he looked his former friend in the eye and without any hesitancy, he angrily blurted to him "No" once again!

Sheriff Richards was now looking at his sister with questioning eyes, hoping for her to say something on his behalf.

But instead, she furiously asked him.

"How can you possible do something like that to someone who is so vulnerably, a transvestite only weighing one hundred and thirty or fifty pounds? You have every intention of killing her?"

"Don't go judging me! Because when you wanted to test out, your boyfriend here, if he was a real faggot or into any of the kinky stuff you heard that he was doing, you weren't complaining then!"

Warren Richards spoke angrily.

The pussy-cat was now out of the bag!

Roxanna began nervously staring at Abraham, almost speechless because she didn't want him to know, she was behind her brother coming on to him in a sexual manner!

But after moments of silence, she finally spoke!

"I didn't tell you to beat him or beat anybody else; did I asked you to do that?"

Roxanna lashed out angrily trying to defend her pervious actions.

But Abraham being madly in love with her from the very inception of their meeting didn't care what she had done in the past. What he cared about was now, and now she was in his arms and he had every intention of keeping her there; because she was the blueprint of every women he had met or come into contact with.

And there was nothing he was going to do to let her go!

Noting he was going to do that would jeopardized their relationship or their future together, especially since their bond and friendship had been broken for over the past year!

Leaving him searching for love left, right and center, but instead, always coming up empty handed!

His prayers has been answered, his dream had just came through and now he was going to hold on to it with gloved hands!

So turning to fat-so, the heavy set sheriff, his wife to be brother, Abraham looked him in the eye and told him to get off his property and not to come around and disturb their relationship ever again! Or else, he too would be pressing charges against him for sexual harassment.

And just as Abraham and Roxanna was making their way inside his humble abode, Johanna and her son began making their way across the street with the power saw in her son's hand and shouting for him to wait awhile. Upon reaching his front porch, Johanna handed Abraham the saw, thanked him for being so kind and lending it to her son for his end of term examination.

Just as Abraham took it from Johanna's hand, she held his hand, gripping it tightly and apologizing to him once again for the brutal rumors she and others had spread about him. She then invited him to come and have Sunday dinner with her family because that was the only way they could show him their appreciation for all that he had done for them.

"And you may bring her along with you too!"

Johanna spoke looking up at Roxanna standing on his front porch.

Turning to Johanna, Abraham thanked her for the invitation and promised her that he would certainly be there to join her and her family for Sunday dinner!

Three months later after Abraham and Joanna had reconciled their friendship and began spending much of their time together, she woke up from his bed one Saturday morning feeling terribly ill!

Soon she began puking all over the place and complaining that she was feeling light-headed, a significant sign that she was with child!

Unsure of her circumstances, Abraham hastily took her to the one of the doctors not too far away from the dating agency. And soon after making their way inside the waiting room to be seen by the doctor, Abraham's eyes were drawn to turn to the right of him and when he looked, it was no other person seated there than Shirley Baily, the receptionist who he was madly in love with.

Recalling in her mind the lecture he had given her about not having sex until he was married, Shirley Baily presumed that this woman must be his wife, that she was pregnant after the many times she had puked inside the trash bin in the waiting room of the doctor's office.

A sure sign that something was coming and not going!

Acknowledging her, he nodded his head at her, but she was in no mode for secrecy and so she loudly ask.

"Is this your wife?"

A bit dumbfounded by her question, Abraham replied.

"We are not married as yet!"

"You haven't marry her as yet and yet still you have knocked her up!"

"And you were the one, preaching to me about waiting for marriage before screwing me at your house!"

Shirley spoke while looking at him with much detestation.

Gazing at her and proudly smiling, Abraham replied.

"I would be quite foolish to waste any more time waiting knowing I have a real woman in the palms of my hands!"

As he leaned towards his baby's mama, the woman who he had first set his eyes upon and kissed her passionately!
