Dominoes 107a: Home

Every thing in?” Caleb asked, looking at the mountain of packages in the trunk. “I am so going to have to get a second job.”

I laughed. He was rich, my husband. I knew that. He had been working and saving, living with his parents. This was probably more money than he had spent all year. “Oh, Caleb, I had such a good time shopping with you,” I said, leaning on him.

“Me too!” Said Jenny, bouncing up and down on her seat. “Where are we going now?”

“Home,” Said Caleb. “My car is going to break down under this load.

Jenny giggled, and kept pulling things out from one bag after another until we got home. “Grab your stuff Jenny, will you? I am going to help Bobbi bring up her stuff to her room.”

“Ok,” Jenny said, grabbing bags. Caleb stole a quick kiss, and then he and I started grabbing packages. We made a trip up to my room, and dumped a bunch on the bed.

“I’ll go get the rest,” Caleb said, as I started opening bags and boxes and putting stuff away. I got distracted in a minute, looking at stuff I had bought.

“Oh, Caleb,” I said, hearing him come in behind me, “I really like this blouse. What do you think?”

I turned around. He had come in and put his packages down on the floor, and was turning and closing the door. And locking it.

“Caleb?” I said. “Caleb?”

He came over and took the blouse down on the bed, and put his arms around me. I heard footsteps in the hallway and the door rattled. “Bobbi?” I heard Jenny say.

“Not now Jen’s,” Caleb said.

“But… oh… ok…” Jenny said, and fled.

“Caleb?” I said. “But I thought… Caleb?”
