Don and Kaylynn

Kaylynn arrived early the next morning as scheduled. Don was still in his pajamas. After his close call with Nina, Don had no intention of being involved with another woman again. After all, he would soon be a married man. Don stood at the kitchen counter, concentrating on fixing some toast for breakfast. He tried to ignore Kaylynn altogether. He was honestly sorry that he had gotten involved with her at all. Kaylynn was confused, and more than a little hurt at Don's coolness towards her. After the other day she thought...she wasn't sure what she had expected. She had thought of nothing else since that day. He had said he would call. She had stayed home waiting...but he never did. Kaylynn walked over and stood in front of Don, looking at him...wanting...something...anything but this coldness. Don looked into Kaylynn's eyes, he could tell that he had hurt her. "Come here, beautiful!, Don said as he drew Kaylynn into his arms. He couldn't stand to see her hurt...not because of him. He felt guilty for the other day. He should never have encouraged her and gotten involved romantically with her. Kaylynn smiled brightly as Don took her into his arms. How quickly her tears turned to joy.
Don held Kaylynn's hand, bringing it up to his lips and kissing it softly. Ahhh, her skin was so soft...so smooth. Don knew that he had the power to bring great joy to Kaylynn. Why should he deprive her...and himself, for that matter...of such joy? Don drew closer and kissed Kaylynn on her soft lips. Kaylynn knew that she had fallen in love with Don. But did he love her too?
