I couldn’t get hard unless I thought of our night together, but I tried not to because it hurt too much when my next thought was about how I had let...her walk out on me. I deserved that pain, because I wasn’t enough of a man to tell her how I was feeling either then or now. I found out she had started dating the guy she’d been out with and I was amazed at how jealous and angry I felt, not at her but at some man I had never met. Charlie mentioned it in passing and almost seemed to be checking. About five minutes later, Rachael hung up the phone.During that time, she'd made two calls."Samantha's said to tell you that things went about how we expected they would in court. Luckily, there were no more surprises. She's about half way home. She said she'd call about midnight for an update; that is, if we don't call her first.Also, the food should be here in an hour. I hope you like Philly steak and cheese sandwiches, French fries and coleslaw."I smiled. Steak and cheese sandwiches are one. It was strange how comfortable she made me feel like this, and any thought of her age, possible consequences, or otherwise important things holding me back the whole night slipped my mind. I kissed her again, a little more tenderly this time, letting her know that this wasn’t just a drunk fantasy of mine, that I really meant it. Just then someone on the couch behind her started fidgeting in their sleep, tossing around a bit to get comfortable, and the reality of what was going on crawled back. Lee seemed to think hard about that, “Sorry but no, I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe I’ve just been working myself too hard. It’s not easy to keep this body in this condition you know.”Lee took one of Joni’s hands and put it on one of the muscles of his arm and flexed. Then he took Joni’s other hand and put it on his chest and ran it down his stomach.At first Joni was feeling a little uncomfortable then she noticed the muscles were actually in pretty good shape. She was about to chew herself out.
