"Well?" Lukas asked after about a half hour. "No strings attached."
I shook my head no. "I'm never doing that again." I said.
"Okay." He said. He smiled and put his arm around me. "Let me know if you ever change your mind."
"I won't change my mind." I said.
He just nodded.
I watched TV with him for a while and started to get really bored.
"Well, I better get going." I said.
"I thought you had a bunch of time to kill." He said.
"Yeah, I do. I was thinking of going shopping though." I lied.
"Okay. Well, have fun." He said.
I smiled. "See ya at work."
I walked down to my car and got in. My phone rang as soon as I started the car. I looked at it and it was Chris. "Yes?" I asked.
"I'm really sorry." He said softly. "Please don't be upset with me."
"I'm not. I am just upset about the whole situation." I said.
"I know." He said. "I made her throw that tape away."
"Thank you." I said.
"Where are you?" He asked.
"I'm pulling out of Lukas' apartment." I said.
"Why?" He asked.
"It was boring. We were just watching TV. I left and said I was going shopping." I said.
"Oh."
"Don't get all jelous." I told him.
"Where are you going now?" He asked.
"Home I guess. I still have two hours before I have to meet Brody." I said.
"Okay."
"See you in a minute." I said and hung up. I drove back home and went inside. Sarah was sitting on the couch with GiGi in her arms. She smiled at me. I smiled back as I set my purse down. "Chris is taking a nap in your room." She said.
"Okay." I said. I went to my room and he was laying in my bed. He was not asleep though. I sat down next to him on the bed.
"I really am sorry." He said.
"I know, sweetie. I'm sorry." I said. I layed down next to him.
"I'm sorry too." He said.
I sighed. "I don't feel like meeting Brody."
"You should though. He needs you." He said.
"Yeah I know. I know." I said.
"Sarah's only gonna stay for a couple weeks. I'm gonna help her find a job in town and a small apartment." He said.
"Okay." I said smiling. "As long as she needs to stay is fine with me."
"Thank you." He said.
"Of course." I said smiling.
"I love that kid." He said.
"Hmm?" I asked.
"GiGi." He said.
"She's very cute." I said.
He looked at me smiling. "She is." He said staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"I think I want one." He said.
"And you'll get one some day." I said turning over onto my side facing him.
"Yeah." He said looking up at the ceiling.
