Singles Ministry---Day 3

“Sometimes I feel like I am betraying You. He and I are on so different. I know everything I have, everything that I am and will be is because of You…he’s never tried to change my mind, but at the same time…”

Nadia and Rob fell into a comfortable routine of watching various football and basketball games together on TV. They both shared a passion for college sports and certain professional sporting teams and players as well. They had just finished watching an intense game. The team the duo was cheering for lost. Rob wasn’t ready to leave yet, so he stuck around while the late-night highlight show started.

Rob stretched out on the couch. “Aaaah. I could lay on this couch forever; it’s so comfortable.” He grabbed one of the throw pillows, rested his head on the arm on the couch, and pretended to fall asleep.
Nadia smirked and gave him a side-eyed glance from her seat on the couch opposite him. “Yeah, okay. You can try it if you want to.”
Rob acted like he did not hear her and continued to his rouse. Nadia paid him no mind. She turned her attention to the television and the Top 10 plays of the day.
Rob allowed the count down to get to number six before he finally opened his eyes. He reached over from his spot and slapped Nadia on her thigh. His lingered for just a moment. Nadia shot him a warning look then cracked a smile as she shook her head at his antics.
He plays too much. Nadia thought to herself.
She wasn’t mad at him though. She could never be mad at Mr. Robinson Keyes. He was a giant kid. His emotional state the night of the accident was the only time Nadia had seen Rob be serious about anything for a long period of time.
Tonight, was no different. He laid there, sprawled out on the couch, staring at Nadia with a glint in eyes. He had a habit of pulling out all of the stops in an attempt to get a reaction out of Nadia. Unlike her sister Nadira, Nadia was laid back. People often mentioned that Nadia had a calm spirit. Not much got to her. She had the ability to regain her composure almost as soon as she would lose it.
Rob cracked a smile as he broke their eye contact. He dropped his head to look at the throw pillow then returned to looking at Nadia....
