I loved it." Yeah, me too."Les washes the dishes and cleans up the kitchen while I go back downstairs and make the bed. Les comes down and transfers ...he clothes from the washer to the dryer. I lay on my back on the daybed, watching him remake the loveseat.He comes over and lays on top of me. He holds my face and kisses me. Wow, he's a good kisser. I kiss him back. Our lips mesh, tongues slowly thrust in and out of each other's mouth. Next, he kisses my neck, then my ears, eyelids, and back. When that was done, June rubbed lotion all over Sunshine's very white arm. The scars were really not to bad. With time they would blend."That's all of that Sunshine," June said. "The doc said that when we got here to take it off and you were done with it. Now let's go get wet."Sunny was flexing her hand and arm. She had held it in position for so long she had lost some control. It returned quickly as we strolled down to the water line.The surf was rolling in. Actually I couldn't tell you. Ravi dropped the grandparents and was about to leave when his grandfather said –Grandpa: Where do you think you are going? You are staying here with us till the marriage is over.Ravi: But it will be evening by the time the wedding is over. What should I do till then?Grandfather: I don’t care. You are not wasting petrol by going all the way and coming back to pick us up.Ravi was heartbroken and silently followed his grandparents into the wedding hall. His grandma saw Ravi wanted to go home and. Rather than speak he'd simply turned away and gone to the stairs. Before reaching the top he could have sworn he'd heard her voice coming from the living room. She had said one word."Hypocrite."Her behavior only got worse the day after that.He'd demanded that she return home straight after school but he had returned from work to an empty house. And after she'd finally returned later that night she'd been drunk, and belligerent, and totally defiant.What was he to do? Hit her again? Hit her.
