He placed the telephone call and sat back to wait.

Emily did arrive, no car sound, no motor at all. It was just her. She knocked.

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He opened the door for her, all smiles.

"Hi again."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Hi. How's it going?"

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

"Really good. Did you have a good Christmas?"

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Ya! I got all kinds of great baby gifts." She showed off her new maternity shirt which hugged her growing belly.

He smiled and moved toward the refrigerator.

"Would you like a drink? And you're lucky to have such wonderful friends."

"Just water thanks!" Emily came inside and closed the door behind her. "Where are all the ladies that live here?"

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He laughed.

"Shopping, I believe."

He moved to the cabinet to get a glass, then to the refrigerator where there was filtered water inside to keep cold.

"They do so love to spend my money."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Oh, even after Christmas?" She giggled.

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He brought her the water and a beer for himself. He gave her a 'Really?' look.

"They love spending my money year-round. After Christmas, it's the after-Christmas sales."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

Emily accepted the water.

"I guess I'm just not a shopping kind of girl. Never had much money."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He laughed.

"That's because no one has introduced you to the joys of spending someone else's money."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

Emily giggled, "Actually, people offer to buy me things all the time. I just don't like troubling others."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He laughed.

"So you don't want to give anything back when they buy you things?"

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Wuh? I always try to do things for them with or without gifts."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He laughed.

"But not bought gifts?"

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"No, not usually. Acts of kindness. Being there for them. That kind of thing."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He smiled.

"As long as they see it as you giving something back, I'm sure it's fine. You should still be introduced to the wonders of shopping, though."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

Emily shrugged, "Not my style is all. Bought things aren't important."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He smiled.

"Not many see it that way anymore."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"People don't value their souls much anymore. People don't have faith in each other or in God. The best I can do is live by example."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

His brows rose.

"What makes you think that?"

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Which part? The lack of faith?"

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He nodded.

"That and the people not caring about their souls."
