They Say Love is Blind Chapter 39: BEST FATHER IN THE WORLD
Friday was a day of anticipation for both Lee and Tory. After her check-up she was to meet him at his place. Daddy took her to pick up the replacement car early that morning and then rode in the passenger seat despite her assurance that she didn't need him to. Mama wordlessly drove their rental car to the doctor's office to meet them. Her father was wonderful. He never mentioned the fact that she was shaking like a leaf as soon as she got in behind the wheel. He never scolded her for driving too slow¡ªso slow, in fact, that it could have caused another accident! But after a few miles she was comfortable again. When they got out of the car to go to her doctor's appointment she threw her arms around her father's neck and kissed his cheek. "What's that for?" He smiled."Because¡" She thought about the fact that a few short days ago she nearly lost her life and might not have ever seen her Mom and Dad again. "Because you are the best father in the world."He snorted. "If you say so." B
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 40: DOES NOT LIKE TORY LIST
"I don't need you to take off for me. I want you to take off for you." Tory glanced around the room watching the tide turn against her. "I need to work, honey¡don't I?" She didn't know a lot about his finances. She knew he was more than comfortable in the financial department but now he would have someone else to take care of. She had a college loan to pay off and they had just bought a fifty thousand dollar car. "We'll talk about it later," he exhaled anxiously. "Excuse me." He got up and she watched him in surprise as he tentatively made his way across the room. She noted that he moved slower, his arms out before him as if he was no longer familiar with his surroundings. Just as he reached the corridor that led to the bathroom he stumbled over a toy that one of the kids had left on the floor. No less than 5 people jumped to his assistance before catching themselves and holding back. Lee caught himself before he fell but he kicked the toy in uncharacteristic anger. As soon as Lee
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 41: AN ILLUSION OF CONTROL
"Like my entire life was just an illusion." He paused and then seemed to stare right into her eyes. "I thought I was in control of it, but I'm not. I'm just a…passenger. I have no control over anything.""Baby…" she began, alarmed by his words. "You are the most capable man that I've ever met. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not in constant awe of you. You are a blind man that has accomplished more than most sighted people. You are funny, sexy, talented, and smart--but most of all you are confidant." Tory watched the intense expression on his face and hoped that he was listening and believing that she meant every word.His expression was uncertain. "Is that what you really see Tory?""Yes!"He paused and then leaned forward and kissed her forehead—she wasn't sure if he was going for her mouth but either was okay. "Thank you. I needed that," he whispered."Don't doubt yourself. Don't doubt what I feel for you." She opened and then closed her mouth. Suddenly she knew she
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 42: FADO MUSIC
She decided to send Mom a quick text telling her that she was happy she had seen them and would call her later. She didn't mention the spirometer.When she returned to the living room the table was set and Lee and his father were sitting in chairs watching something on his computer. Oh, what a surprise; soccer, she though with a wry grin. She had discovered that Lee and his family were demented over the sport. The fact that he didn't own a television set didn't stop him from keeping up with his favorite team. He could tune into foreign channels via computer. At that very moment the two men cheered happily at some unknown event. She placed her hand on his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek from behind. "Mmmm," he said simply, pausing long enough to receive it."Cerveja?""Yes, thanks, honey."Tory gave Mr. Torres a quick smile. "I'll bring you one, too." "Obrigado, Tory. Thank you," he responded with an appreciative smile.She went into the kitchen and saw Mrs. Torres putting slices
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 43: A GENTLE TOUCH
Tory closed her eyes, relishing his gentle touch. Now blind, she experienced each sensation with a renewed intensity. She felt his fingers glide between her breasts and down her abdomen. Slowly he moved past her belly button, trailing down to her jeans. Tory knew that she was breathing hard and fast. She stood there unmoving and felt Lee unbutton her pants and drag the zipper down slowly. He stepped closer to her, his body pressed against hers lightly. She felt his hands in her panties, pushing them and her pants down in one fluid motion and she couldn't help the sharp intake of breath.He bent and had her step out of them and now all she was wearing was the bra. He reached around and unhooked it, letting it drop to the floor. His hands moved up the sides of her body, seeming to rediscover each curve. He left no part of her torso untouched and when he discovered the bandage, beneath which the tube had pierced her lung, his brow drew together and he placed a tentative kiss there before
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 44: WHAT'S MINE IS OURS
"Tory, if I had my fondest wish, it would be for you to quit work and to allow me to take care of you financially."She made a face. "But then you'd have to give me an allowance…""No. Why would you need an allowance for what is essentially ours? The only thing I'd ask is that if we make any major purchases we discuss it first. Other than that what's mine is yours; ours.""Well…" she bit her lip. "I do have these student loans...""Tory, I make a hundred and twenty thousand a year without even trying. I can make double that just by transcribing more books. Visually impaired people are always going to want books, even in the digital age and there is never going to stop being books that people need transcribed. I have great benefits and my boss is also a personal friend of mine. We've been buddies since we met at the blind academy when we were both sixteen. When he started this company I was the first person he contacted and I've been with him for ages. So I'm in a secure job, my fi
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 45: GAME OVER
"Rosalind, watch your mouth.""I don't mean any disrespect. These are just the words of a broken hearted woman." She stood. "Excuse me. I'm going to take cerveja to the men." Tory counted to ten…and then to twenty before she felt it was safe to stop gripping her chair handle so that she wouldn't jump down Roz's throat! "Who invited her?" Macey muttered after a few quiet moments. Everyone chuckled. At dinner Lee was having a tough time feeding himself because it was too difficult to cut the beef with the cast. Tory took great pleasure in feeding him and shushing him when he complained that he could do it. She delivered a kiss to his cheek to quiet his protests and then the men laughed and complimented him on figuring out how to be served so efficiently. Tory joined in the good-natured razing and despite the careful glares by Rosalind, Tory felt like everything between her and the Torres family had returned to normal. During dessert, Rosalind commented that she would be willing to
They Say Love is Blind Chapter 46: A PASSIONATE FAMILY
"Tory," Rosalind said quickly, "I'm not trying to interfere in your life! We all love Lee and just want the best for him-""Rosalind! Cala-te praí! This conversation is over! She doesn't want to be friends with you and that is it. For the rest of you, I need to tell you, that you are driving me NUTS! I can't freaking breathe without one of you calling or stopping by! I love you, but this has to end! Now, I know you worry but it's not needed."There was some vocal disagreement and Lee argued back. Rosalind got up and left the table. She collected her boys and then left the house. "Lee, I can't believe that you think that we can just turn off our love for you!" Francie stated. "STOP IT!" Mr. Torres stood and slammed his fist on the table. "You children are worse than the ones playing in the other room!" He looked at Tory. "Please forgive us. You must think we're a crazy family."She smiled. "A passionate family. A loving family…but yes, a little crazy, too." There was a single c
