CHAPTER 39 Aunt Sophia Ep 8

  We ate breakfast together not saying a word. I could tell the tension had lifted dramatically already.

  "You go to work I will wait here until he gets up." Again she wanted to argue but thought better of it.

  "Will you be home for dinner?" Sophia asked. I thought about it and figured it would be best.

  "Seven?" I asked if that was too late.

  "Seven." Sophia cleaned the table and then in a surprise move she leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Just a sign of affection and respect!"

  I don"t know what came over me but when she walked by to leave I gently smacked her ass. Shocked at my boldness Sophia turned and smiled showing me all her pearly white teeth. I have never seen her smile like that. I knew I wanted to see it more.

  I made a few calls and dressed for work. I waited for Odell to wander out from his bedroom.

  "Sophia!" He bellowed. There was no answer. "Sophia!" He shouted as he entered the kitchen.

  "Sophia is at work." I said quietly.
