It was Tristram, who had tried and failed to seduce Sam away from him. Tristram was whispering in Julie’s ear, and she was alternately giggling and ...ooking interested.Their dancing was now not so proper. They were pressed together, his hands on her rear, pulling her against him. There was no sign of resistance. They kissed a long and steamy kiss. He was talking to her again and she was nodding. Tristram looked over to Aidan from time to time, a grin on his face, clearly thinking he was well on. Next day my boss told me I had to go out of town on Friday, being away for a week. I did not relish the thought of telling Alex, as she always hated it when I went away. Surprisingly this time she did not seem at all bothered. "Don't worry about me," she said. "I will be well looked after while you are away." I smiled at her little fantasy. I left early on Friday morning, with Alex telling me not to hurry back on her account. I was a little miffed when she turned her head away when I went to. "I can't believe I'm meeting Mary Rose," Dave said, shaking his head and smiling. Adam noticed he also had braces to go with his birth-control glasses. This kid had better hope to make a lot of money if he ever wanted to get laid."Nice to meet you, Dave," Mary said politely. "I didn't realize my fame had spread. I've been tied up on a lot of projects and I haven't had time to check my press clippings."She laughed to show she was joking, although Dave didn't seem to get it."You're famous!" he. The whole place was stone floored with big thick studded wooden doors. I n the room i was taken too were some battered wooden chairs. I remember the police woman gripping my arm and more or less putting me in a chair then sitting in the one next to it with her arms folded. Then much to my surprise Jenny Penny and the other woman came and occupied a couple of chairs, leaving a couple of empty chairs between me and the police woman. At that time they allowed aggrieved partys to witness a birching.
