I got home and started to clean-up. I spent the rest of my time reading and enjoying the peace and quiet after a most active weekend. I was getting ready for bed when Erin called. She was hysterical - crying uncontrollably – so much so, I couldn't understand what she was trying to say. Instead of Ryan seeing Erin to work things out, Erin found out he went over to be with Julia.

I said, “Erin honey, I’m leaving now to come pick you up. I’ll call you when I’m outside your dorm. Pack a duffel bag of your belongings. I want you to spend the week with me.” She stopped crying and was grateful for my offer.

Before I left, I texted Trevon to tell him I’m picking up Erin and for him to call me when he’s back at his dorm for curfew. Trevon call me soon thereafter. “Hi baby,” I said, “How was your time with Karina?” “It was nice,” he replied. “Did you have sex with her?” “Yes,” he said. “Did you make her cum baby?” “Yes,” he said. “How many times did she cum?” “I don’t know,” he replied, “Four, maybe five times. She’s a squirter.” “Holy shit! You are so lucky to be with a squirter.” I continued, “Did you cum inside her?” “Yes, I did,” he said.

Now, my questions became more serious. “Is she starting to develop feeling for you?” “I think so,” he said. “It feels that way. She wants me to come over and be with her tomorrow.” “Are you developing feelings for her?” There was silence. “Hey babe, you can be open and honest with me. I want to know. Are you developing feelings for her?” “Yes,” he said. “Hanna,” he replied, “I’m so confused with our relationship, why do you want me to do this?” I said “Because you are handsome, polite, a true gentleman, soon to be more famous, and I love you. You have so much to give. I’m OK with you sharing it with someone else.” There was a long, almost uncomfortable pause. I then said something that most likely shocked him: “Trevon, if you fall in love with her, I’m OK with that. I just want you to tell me.” There was more silence. I’m not sure how he was reacting to this.

Then I saw Erin coming. “Babe – Erin’s here. I got to go. Call you tomorrow. I love you.” I hung up. Erin had a large duffel bag, more than enough for a week’s stay I assumed. After kisses and hugs, I loaded her bag into the trunk of my car and we went home. She seemed more at ease being with me and I wanted her to feel my home was her home. I made room in the bedroom closet for her as we hung up her clothes and helped her put her toiletries and make-up next to mine.

With her and my possessions intermingled, it was something I haven’t experienced since Chuck’s passing. I came to realize our relationship was moving to the next level. We went to bed and for the first time, and didn’t have sex while we kissed, cuddled, and held each other as we went to sleep.

Erin had early morning classes, so I awakened to prepare breakfast for her while she showered and got ready. After eating, I told her to take my car to campus. She was surprised I offered it to her, but I didn’t need it and she would return in the early afternoon. We kissed and hugged and she was off.

I kept busy with activities for the morning to find I didn’t really miss not having a car. I even walked to my yoga class, then into town for some shopping. Erin returned home in the early afternoon, and did her college work at the kitchen table as I left for food shopping. I came back, prepared dinner, we cleaned up, spent a quiet evening together, went to bed, made love, went to sleep, and repeated it the next morning.

While walking to yoga, I thought about Erin. I assumed her relationship with my stepson was over. If Erin and I became more committed, I would need to end it with Trevon. Did I want that, or have I started it already? I wanted a future with Erin, but did she want it with me? She’s just turned 21. Is she ready to live with a woman – who is 12 years older than her? Is she too young for this? Am I ready for this? Is she a lesbian? Am I one? Are we ready to tell the world we’re a romantic couple? I started to become overwhelmed with the whole thought of it. While at yoga, I focused on my moves and decided to let whatever happens – happen.
