Stray Cats

STRAY CATS by Guy Winters

Once Amanda was done Rachel stepped into the shower and Alex used a spare towel to dry off Amanda. She turned around and threw her arms around him and kissed him passionately.
“You are the most wonderful person I have ever met,” she whispered in his ear. “I want you to know that Alex Wells. I’m so happy I met you.”
Alex lifted her head from his chest and looked into her glistening eyes.
“Thank you,” he said softly. “So are you.”
The shower curtain opened briefly and Rachel stepped out. Amanda and Alex both began to towel her dry. She turned around and kissed Alex on the lips then turned him around and swatted his butt as he stepped into the shower. Rachel turned back and wrapped her arms around Amanda.
“Girls can be monsters,” she whispered into Amanda’s ears, “but Alex was right about you. Your as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.”
Amanda hugged Rachel as tears began to fall down her cheeks.
Both girls walked out of the bathroom hand in hand and got into Rachel’s bed to wait for Alex. A moment later he opened the bathroom door and stepped into the Rachel’s bedroom.
“Is there room for me,” he asked with a silly grin?
“Always,” said Rachel.
“Right in the middle where you belong,” replied Amanda.
“You know, we three are like stray cats aren't we," he sighed thoughtfully.
"We've each wandered through our lives looking for love and tenderness. We are who we are because of what has happened in the past. You both have taught me so much about myself and what it's like to be loved," he said with a sigh. Alex kissed them both. "Thank you."
"We love you too, sweetheart," murmured Amanda as she snuggled up under his arm.
"Yup," murmured Rachel, "now go to sleep."
An exploration of love and companionship in a judgmental world that rejects everything "different." Journey with Alex as he meets two beautiful women who fall in love and change his life.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM GUY WINTERS:
At present I seem to be exploring the often misunderstood world of the inter-sexed person. If you are unfamiliar with the term "intersex" Google it, you'll find it very complex and complicated. The Wikipedia entry is very thorough although my work should never be considered clinical. Other works that I plan on adding to my catalog will begin to explore other issues but right now the plight of the intersexed person stuck in a world of narrow-minded bigotry is something of interest to me. I hope you find them interesting as well.
I try to make my characters believable and the world they inhabit relatable (well I suppose a world that contains vampires is a bit of a stretch but that story was just a lot of fun to write).
If you have the chance, please review my work. Your feedback is invaluable to me as an author and I appreciate it very much. Thank you...gw
