hurt I hugged him back and wept like a two year old that needed her Binky, her mommy and a nap. Logic's closeness was comforting, but his cologne was intoxicating. His warm breath which blew ever so gently on my neck was erotic and suddenly he no longer felt like a total stranger. Yet he was.
    "I can't let you do that. Even if I could, I don't know you. Shit like this is exactly why people are missing and never seen again. I'm not getting in a car alone with you. That's craziness. Thanks for the offer, but I'll figure something else out." I said as I came to my senses and peeled myself off of him."
    Understanding my vulnerability, Logic reluctantly, but politely retreated to the other side of the table. His concern for me was more than obvious. He seemed as helpless about my situation as I was. It was apparent that he was a man who was accustomed to taking charge and setting things right. It appeared to bother him that he could not help me. His mind seemed to be churning a hundred miles a millisecond as he pondered a resolution to my dilemma. Without warning his face magically lit up like a newly decorated Christmas tree.
    "Can you excuse me for just a minute? I have to make an urgent phone call."
    "Sure... Go right ahead." I offered as I wiped my eyes, blew my nose and slowly regained my composure and dignity.
    Apparently, all of those years of doing everything for myself had finally caught up with me, ran me over and backed up. Sure, I had all the wealth any one person needed to have a wonderful life. Anything I wanted or desired I could purchase, even a man. I'll admit that sometimes I helped Jamar out financially. Basically under educated and over extended he worked two jobs and still couldn't pay his child support on time. I didn't mind contributing, after all he gave me exactly what I needed, a hard dick on a cold and lonely night, whenever I needed it. Somehow I never realized that my money would not and could not buy me love and devotion. A bit late, but I realize that now.

    Logic returned a few minutes later. "I'm sorry. I just needed a little privacy."
    "Don't apologize. I understand. I probably should have done the same. I'm sorry you had to see my nuclear meltdown. It's just been a very long day."
    "Tell me about it. What happened to your truck?"
    "Well, I was on my way home..."
    "Washington?"
    "Yes. I had a deposition that I had to get. And it went over a little longer than I anticipated."
    "You're an attorney?"
    "Yes. I'm a Public Defender. So, of course it started to snow... And I wanted to get home before the roads got too treacherous, so I was pushing it. Out of nowhere this gigantic deer leaps in front of my truck and just stands there. I couldn't believe it."
    "They say that the headlights mesmerize them. If you cut off the lights he would have just ran away."
    "Well, I didn't know that. Anyway I had nowhere to go and no time to stop so I hit him."
    "I saw the tow truck leave as I pulled in. It looks pretty bad."
    "Yeah, it's probably totaled. Sixty thousand dollars worth of bent metal… Thank God for insurance. I just got it last month for my birthday." I sighed.
    "Did Jamar give it to you? He's your boyfriend, right?"
    "You're funny. No Jamar bought me the Motown Greatest Hits CD Collection and I was shocked he even remembered my birthday. And no he's not my boyfriend."
    "That's right; your man is the cop with three damn guns." Logic teased.
    The smirk on my face indicated that he was dreading in dangerous water. "We've already established the fact that I made that up. So can I please continue?"
    "Just one more question. You're not hurt right? I mean, I can go with you to the hospital if you want to get checked out."
    "No, I'm fine. The airbag punched me in my face, but I'm okay. In retrospect that punch in the mouth from God was just the wakeup call I need to get my life in order."
    "Haven't been to church in awhile, huh?" Logic smiled.
    "No, I go to church almost every Sunday. I just
