One Sunday Jaden and I were over in the Rec. Wing inthe afternoon chowing down on some burgers and fries in the food courtand Jaden looked over at me ...nd asked, ?Does it itch???Itch? Does what itch???Your head. You?ve been scratching it all afternoon.?I thought about it and realized that, yeah, there was an itchy spot thatI had been scratching, so I nodded.?Doesn?t surprise me. Looks like you haven?t washed and shampooed it in along time. Why don?t we work on it when we get back to the cottage.. Ayla smiled and hugged Shane. ‘Good,’ she said simply. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ‘Aya, are you okay?’ Shane asked from the doorway of the bathroom. ‘Are you sick again?’ he added, not really needing an answer, Ayla hovering over the toilet answered the questions for him as a million thoughts running through his mind. ‘I feel like shit. The flu is going around at work,’ Ayla groaned. ‘Are you pregnant?’ Shane asked nervously, not sure what he wanted the answer to be. Ayla shook her head slowly as she. Therefore, I was surprised when the nicely-dressed woman informed me with an unsmiling face that her name was Hyacinth. I struggled to disguise my amusement at the banality of one being named after a flower of dubious distinction.Hyacinth led me to a nearby Inn and we ascended the narrow staircase to a tiny room with only a desk, chairs, and a bed that squeaked outrageously under my weight. I could tell she was not pleased with my sitting on the bed, so I hastened to move onto one of the. .She looked dreamily into my eyes…body swaying to a tune she was hearing in her head. Gone was the plaid shirt, jeans and hiking boots she sported in our previous meeting…this was purely indoor wear, sandals on her otherwise bare feet…a long light blue skirt that extended well below her knees and an untucked silk blouse covering her braless torso..Julia’s smile was dazzling, hypnotic…unlike the last time she WAS THE ONE IN CONTROL…AND REVELING IN THE KNOWLEDGE…“I so enjoy you being happy.
