"My ribs will be fine, though, thanks. The doctor said they're just bruised." You sure stuck your nose in a hornet's nest, John," Mr. Hardesy said as ...e guided me into his office. "Sit a moment."I sat and looked at my boss. I knew he was in his sixties and was getting ready to retire. He looked tired this morning."Are you okay, Mr. Hardesy? You look tired."Mr. Hardesy waved my concern off. "Tom's finally back from Houston. We were up late talking."I knew that Mr. Hardesy wanted Tom to take over. She suddenly got up and said ill be right back. And went into another room. I finished my tea and was wondering where she is and I called out her name but got no response. I got a bit worried and I got up and went into the same room as she had gone. She was standing in front of the mirror lost in her thoughts. I went up behind her and held her shoulders. And said hey what happened. She just moved herself closer to me such that her full body was against mine. She pulled down my hands from her. Miley hung her jeans up in a closet just for pants, and pulled off her loose yellow top. That left her standing in matching bra and panties. She hung the shirt up and exited the closet.And stopped in her tracks, when she saw Jackson’s “friend” Rico, sitting on her bed. He was reclined against the pillows and tossing something up and down. Miley screamed and grabbed a folded up blanket on the dresser. She pulled it up to her chest, and it unfolded and dropped to the floor, covering her. Only a couple of older men were still swimming laps, but Luke decided he should jump in the pool before giving anyone a show. He carefully set the headband on his towel and jumped in the pool to cool off. I will enjoy holding that later when I think about her some more, he smiled as he thought to himself.****The following Tuesday, Chloe walked into the Y with great anticipation. She had purposefully come to the gym on a day that she usually did not, just for a swim. Her boss had questioned why.
