Time flew by pretty quickly. Hailey enjoyed being around Romeo. He made her laugh. He made her smile.
There were some times though when she wasn't even sure what she meant to him. He hardly mentioned anything about his wife, but she knew they were still together. She couldn't help but wonder what he thought of her. Who was she to him? A friend? A friend with benefits? It had been a month since they started to see each other and still she was unclear as to what they meant to each other.
It was Christmas day and they were both alone. Romeo's wife had left the day before for a trip in Greece. His son was away at his brother's home. Romeo wasn't used to being alone. He wanted her. He wanted Hailey. He wanted to embrace her. To feel her warm, soft, small body against him.
