Brad’s not a terrible seller, but the only way he could afford that place is if Barb was picking up the tab.”“Well then, let’s all hope that B...ad doesn’t behave while I’m away,” I chuckled. “Anyway, that’s not why I called. I wanted to know if Barb gave you the key for the other place. She said she’d give it to you and I could pick it up.”“Yep. I have it,” she said. “She also wants me to give you the updated deed to the property, so I have that too. Lunch?”“Sure,” I said. I told her where I was. . Oh god," an embarrassed flush crossed her features. "I'm sorry." It's not ... never mind," I stumbled over my words, trying to figure out how I could explain."I ... uh ... I like you, Henry," Trish began. "I just don't think I'm ... I'm not ready for a relationship." I wasn't saying..." We weren't communicating. We were just talking at each other. I needed to stop this and try to make some sense."I don't want you to quit college," I spoke quietly, but earnestly. "You're a smart young woman.". I feel so powerful when I have that effect. As I walked over to the stairs up to the second floor, I could not help starting to strut. I just could not help it. The purse was swinging against my hip. I found room 282 and knocked. The door opened. It was smokey in there and funky music was playing loudly. I stepped inside and a huge hand closed the door behind me and put the chain lock on. I began to see more clearly and could see that my friend was there but so were two other black guys and. After some time I could tell his was hitting on me quite good. I did find him sexy to look at and he was very kind. I got a few text's from my husband as i sat there talking and i told him where i was and that this black guy was hitting on me. He joked in my mind asked if i was going to take him up to the room tonight. I responded back only if you want me to honey still thinking it was a joke. He told me he was going to shower and he would be down in a while. So i sat there Talking with james.
