"Frank clenched his jaw. "It was a mistake. It's over anyway." Okay, then, let's go skiing." Lily put on a bright smile and led the way.John followed ...hem out feeling gutted, but couldn't say why. I wanted to cool things off, didn't I?All day long he felt like the third wheel with Frank and Lily getting along so well. He sat alone on the ski lift behind the two of them, followed them down the mountain, and by the end of the day was wallowing in self-pity.Lily noticed at times and tried to. She was dress to impress him too. He had his hand on her ass helping her into his truck, But by the time I could get over there they had pulled out, I drove around trying to find them but couldn't find them. So now i'm piss at him, He didn't answer his cell either. So I got stuck in traffic by a train, So sitting there piss , I notice I was in front of a big warehouse that had semi park in front of it. I notice one had a young black guy walking around his truck, I smiled , maybe I should show. She had on matching black high heels shoes. Even her nail and eye shadow looks wonderful. I could not say a word. She looked like a million dollars and then some.She would be my “date” for the night. On the way to the party we had a lot of time to chat. She told me that she was a cheerleader in High School and college. She also told me that everybody in high school and college treated her like she was a “blond headed bimbo”. There was hardly any one but Grandma Dale who respected me and treated. “Yeah. I didn’t know that until last night either. But anyway, we had this long talk and we sorted some things out. I can see you whenever I like, as long as I get all my homework done and my grades don’t fall. Which they won’t since she’s also given me the green light to go to university. And I’m going to go, Paul. Nothing’s going to stop me.”“Good.”“So ... that means I can come over to yours after school every night. We can get the homework out of the way and then ... you know.” She leaned in.
