While I was working the grill Alorah walks over and hands me a beer.

"I need to talk to you about something," she said.

"What's up you look serious," I said.

"On my way home, a white honda got behind me honking the horn and running all up on the bumper so I punched your car a little and got it into the driveway when I heard a voice say why are you hiding from me Ridge." She said.

"Oh no I already know." I sigh.

"I threatened her to kick her ass off the property or I would have the cops remove her or for her just leave and leave you alone that you have a girlfriend. She tried to tell me that you two had a thing which I shut down and said even her brother said she didn't so she left but I told her I was going to get a restraining order against her. Ridge, she scared me to death I thought Dawson found me." She sighs.

"I'm so sorry she did that to you. We can place that order if you want and I probably should too because it's now harassment." I said.

"I didn't know what to do because I couldn't run and I was going to stay in the garage till I heard her ugly voice," she said.

"I need to take you to the shooting range and teach you how to shoot in case it would ever be Dawson instead of crazy Rhonda," I said.

I shut the lid on the grill and grab her by the waist and hold her against my chest. I'm so sorry she did that to you Alorah." I said.

"It's not your fault she's batshit crazy but I wanted you to know either way. Plus your next-door neighbor he was sitting on the porch so he saw and heard everything. She needs help because this isn't healthy." she said.

"No, it's not she needs something for sure. Come on let's eat out here that ok with you?" I ask.

"Oh yeah, that's great with me." She said as she sits the plates down and they sit facing the pool.

"I was thinking of asking EJ to add a pool changing area out here so you don't have to track inside the house wet. Can you get me his number from Lonnie?" I ask.

"Sure I can ask her. Not sure how busy he is though. Let me text her.

📱Hey Lonnie! Can I get EJs number? Ridge wants to talk to him about building something.

📱Hey girl! Sure here is his number and I'll let him know Ridge is going to be calling him.

📱Thanks cya tomorrow! 😘

📱10 am it is toodles! 😁

"Here you go she said she would let him know you were gonna call," she said.

"Yeah after we eat I will thanks for getting the number though." I squeeze her leg.

"Your welcome! So tomorrow I have my leg wrap at 10 am and then I will meet you at lunch to run to the bank and transfer the money and hopefully grab food right?" she asks.

"Sounds like a plan to me." I smile at her.

"I'll clean this up you go call EJ.," she said.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yeah go ahead I got this." she smiles picking up the plates.

Fifteen mins later I walk into the living room to find Alorah laying on the couch watching very old episodes of the match game.

"Can I join you, babe?" I ask.

She raises up and smiles as I sit down and lay her head in my lap and play with her hair until I hear her lightly snoring so I pick her up and carry her up to my bed.

"Alorah we need to rewrap your legs and get some sleep and I got the clock set," I said.

"Ok thank you, Ridge, I'm just tired I guess." She yawns.

"it's ok baby I got your legs done what do u want to sleep in?" I ask.

"Nothing naked is fine," she said.

"Alrighty, then that works for me." I strip naked and get in the bed beside her and pull her close until we both fall asleep.

The next morning the clock wakes us up around 7:30 am. She turns over and yawns staring at me. I smile at her and yawn too.

"Want to shower together?" I ask her.

"Sure let's go." she smiles and gets out of the bed and heads to the bathroom.

She steps in the shower and I follow behind her kissing her shoulder and wrapping my arms around her.

She turns around giggling and wrapping her arms around my neck. "Is this going to be a daily thing?" she asks turning around to grab her loofa.

"I would definitely like it to be." I kiss her neck and roam my hands over her body as she scrubs herself with the loofa.

By the time we get out of the shower we are fresh and clean and feel better after our round of shower sex.

"Your legs do look so much better," I said while adding cream on.

"They feel so much better but my ribs are still sore of course. Help me with my bra, please? I'm almost ready." she said.

"What do you want to wear babe?" I ask.

"Here it's laying on the bed." A blue shirt and a black pair of leggings and my nikes.

"You need some new clothes babe. Maybe get some while your out getting scrubs." I said.

"Maybe I will while I'm out. Ok, I'm ready to be carried to the car." she giggles.

"I don't need to work out carrying you around you keep my muscles pumping." I laugh.

I kiss her as I help her get into the Chevelle and then head to the cruiser and pull out of the driveway. She goes one way and I the other. I'm already counting the hours down until I see her again.
