Adult Blogger: TUG JOBS already knew that Zach wasn't here. I also figured you would need some company. I hope you don't mind that I came by. You wanna make some popcorn and watch a movie or something?"
She eyed him suspiciously. "Now, why would you want to watch a movie with some old, fat woman, when you could go out and have the time of your life with some gorgeous young thing that would think you're some sort of God?"
Not even feeling that her last comment warranted any kind of acknowledgement, Seth got up and took Marlee by the hand, leading her into the den. He popped popcorn for the both of them and they picked a movie to watch. Seth barely saw what was on TV, as he was watching Marlee get sleepier and sleepier.
"Hey, do you want to lean on me? It's okay ..." He raised his arm in welcome as she snuggled closer.
"Seth, are you sure this is okay with you? I mean ... I'm practically your mom ..."
"Shhhhh. It's okay, Marl ... just relax ..." he began stroking her hair as she snuggled under his protective arm. He looked down at this woman who had practically raised him. He had always known she was pretty, but right then, she took his breath away.
