Nick had never had his mind blown by sex before. He’d had amazing sex, for sure, but this was different with Rachel. It was unexpected, to begin with. She was honest and open about her pleasure, for one thing. She laughed and yelled when it felt good. There wasn’t any embarrassment or manipulation with Rachel. And his body’s response to that was beyond any physical sensation he’d ever experienced.

Now that he’d had it, Nick never wanted it any other way. Did it exist with anyone else? Anywhere else? Or only with Rachel Prudhomme in Ministry, Alabama? It was a quandary.

They were leaving at noon for Atlanta. The game was at eight-o’clock tonight, and he’d made plans to stop by the hospital where he’d worked, before moving to Ministry, on his way into the city to pick up some personal mail and say hi to a few friends and co-workers.

It was interesting how little communication he’d had with his familiars since leaving Atlanta. As many years as he’d spent there, and having grown up in the area, it was as if he’d dropped off the face of the earth and everyone had forgotten his existence. Out of sight, out of mind, he supposed.

It might have bothered Nick more if he was pining to return home. But so far, his stay in Ministry had been one grand adventure, with no real downside. He kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and the desperate desire to go running, screaming back to the city to hit like a ton of bricks. His distraction with his lovely next-door neighbor was the obvious reason, but somewhere, deep down, he knew there was more to it than that. The one question he kept asking himself was, could it last?

Rachel was waiting when Nick knocked on her door. She had one tote bag and her camera. “Ready?” he asked.

“Ready. Thanks again for this. I’ve got my Who Dat shirt packed and ready.”

He shook his head. “I’ll try and protect you since we’re sitting in the middle of the Falcon’s section in Atlanta.”

“Did you think I would sell out?”

He laughed. “No. I didn’t, quite honestly. You would never sell out. That’s one thing I like about you.”

“Well, thank you. I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“It was meant as one.”

They listened to the radio and realized they both had extremely eclectic tastes in music. Maybe not the same music, but varied enough for an open mind.

“How do you feel about meeting my mother?” he asked when they were about thirty miles outside of Atlanta.

“I’m not sure. Is she going to hate me on sight because I’m not your ex?” Rachel asked, her tone wary.

“I don’t know. That’s just it; she still has a relationship with Monica, but I can’t very well come to town without stopping by and saying hello. I don’t want to catch her wrong and expose you to her inappropriate behavior if she’s in a stew about something.”

“You should definitely see your mom while you’re here. Maybe you can stop by and say hi while I sit in the car if you’re not planning to stay too long.
