“He‘s taking a shower,” he told the girls.

“Please don‘t tell me about it, Robinson. Thinking about him in the shower makes me

crazy.”

 

Robinson and Kay laughed when Kim said this. “Oh, is that right?” Robinson said. “You got here less than twenty-four hours ago and you‘re already in love. That‘s great! I am so happy for you, sister.”

 

Kim was amazed when Robinson called her his sister and not his sister in law. That‘s what she was to him, his sister. “Didn‘t you fall in love with my sister at first sight, too, Robinson?”

 

“Yes, I did, but…well, no, I have to ask Kay. Kay, did you fall in love with me at first sight, too?”

 

Laughing hysterically, Kay said, “Robinson Bennett, what kind of question is that? You know we both fell in love at first sight. It was mutual, hello!”

 

They couldn‘t stop laughing.

 

“Yes, I know that. I just refuse to accept it and I don‘t even talk about it because it‘s hard for me to believe it,” said Robinson.

 

“Oh, please, brother,” said Kim, “you know the ladies can‘t take their eyes off you everywhere you go!”

 

“Thank you for telling me that. It‘s just hard for me to believe that such a selective, but wonderful woman like your sister laid her eyes on me and even married me. She‘s pregnant with my child, the first of all the children I‘ve conceived that will be born. What more could I ask for? I am the happiest man in the world.”

 

“Did you just say my nephew is the only child you‘ve conceived so far that will be

born?”

“Yes, Kim, that‘s what I said.”

“But Robinson, how can that...?”

 

Kay interrupted her. “Kim, the three of us will talk more about this when we get home. Now, let‘s spend some time with Constantine and make peace with him. You know that of the three of us you‘re the only one that he‘s gotten along with.”

 

Constantine was finished getting dressed, and he walked out of his room and walked the hallway to his main living room, the one closest to the front door of the two-living room, three-bedroom, two-dining room house. Constantine got a house this big because he was planning on marrying Starr and living here with her. That couldn‘t be, so he lived alone in this house, but he wouldn‘t live alone here for long. He was happy, and amazed at the same time because he didn‘t know he had the power of getting something he wanted just by wishing it. He finally got to the main living room and then walked another hallway to the front door of the house, and opened it.

 

“I knew it was you when I heard the bell, but I couldn‘t believe it.” He gave each one of his new friends a hug. “What are you doing here?”

 

“Didn‘t you want to work things out and try to have a better relationship with us?” asked

Kay.

 

“Yes, I did, and I do, but I didn‘t think it was possible. Come on in and make yourselves at home.” They walked together to the main living room. When they got there, Robinson and Kay sat on one sofa and Constantine and Kim sat on the other one. The sofa and the loveseat looked luxurious, but in reality they didn‘t cost that much. They were just beautiful and of great quality. “Oh, I almost forgot!” said Constantine and got up. While walking out of the living
