The Gravity of Love by Anne Thomas Read Free Book Online

when you know him
this well, you realize that Buckeye Joe and him actually went together very
well. I suppose his current pet fits him well too. That old Australian blue
fur, one blue eye one green eyed Cattle dog named Jake is pretty fitting too. "
Harrison threw a pillow at her, but she managed to catch it and throw it back,
hitting him on his unexpecting head.
    "And this, my dearest of dear friend,
is why I didn't invite you to this movie meeting." Molly said, taking a
movie case that had been hidden behind her back and putting it just inches away
from his face, showing him the tape for Ghost. "Not just that." She
said after his face registered in horror. She held up the rest of the stack.
Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse, Red Dawn, and for the grand finale, seasons one and
two of North and South.
    Harrison shuffled away from the movies in
her arms, walking backwards towards the door, his eyes locked on the movies
with a frightened face, until he disappeared out the door.
    "And that, lady and gentleman, is how
we get Harrison to leave it's fool proof. I've been doing it my whole life
whenever I wanted privacy. Still is a charm. That cat was the best thing I ever
invested in." Molly laughed, then popped one of the movies in the DVD
player and grabbed the food for a relaxing night of Patrick Swayze.
    "Ya know, no one told me this was
going to be a chick flick night." Josiah said with his arms crossed,
feeling like a pansy.
    Rolling her eyes, Molly took away the Dirty
Dancing movie.
    "There the rest of them are more for
guys than women anyway. Now sit and eat."
    Satisfied with that, Josiah shoved a
handful of popcorn in his mouth and crossed his ankles.

    Molly sank in to her wooden chair as much
as possible, trying to relax for a moment before taking the drive home. But
once again, her little rest was interrupted by a knock. "Go away."
She groaned, hoping it was Harrison or Marty because those two would actually
listen and she wouldn't get in trouble saying that to.
    "Oh, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't
intrude. You must be resting before you go and do...whatever your kind of
people do."
    Candice. Everything inside Molly groaned
with annoyance.
    "Are you here for something?" She
asked instead of making her annoyance public.
    "Yes, actually. Advice."
    "On art class? Sorry, I have little
experience with that. That would be, well, I believe that would be your
field."
    "Oh, no silly. Not art class. On
Harrison."
    Her stomach flip flopped against her
sinking heart. "What would you need my advice for? That's not my field
either you're the one dating him."
    "Yes, that is very true. But you are
his best friend. So I thought you could answer me a few things."
    "You can't ask your boyfriend these
few things?"
    "No! I can't ask him or he'll know I'm
wondering. I don't want him to know, so you can't tell him."
    "What Candice? What do you want? I
really am tired and I'd like a few minutes before driving home."
    Candice licked her lips slowly, debating
upon her next words.
    "Harrison took me to a fancy
restaurant yesterday. For the second time, and we've only been dating for two
and a half weeks. I know from talk that when he dates, he dates certain women a
certain way depending on how he really feels about them. And I was wondering
if you could tell me what that means. What he feels about me."
    Flip flop, flip flop. Molly put her hand
over the top of her stomach to try and settle it. Her head seemed dizzy enough
while she tried to think of what to tell him big pain of annoyance that looked
like a million bucks, even still dressed in her art smock, her blond hair done
up in a haphazard bun, a white dot on the tip on her nose and a blue and red
smudge on her cheekbone. Two fancy dinners after only two weeks of dating? She did
know Harrison's moves. And she did know that what he was doing with Candice was
a great sign that he really liked her and was taking her seriously. He
