" Mom said as she got up and put her hand on my forehead. "Well, you are a bit warm." she said with concern."Naaa, I'm alright," I replied. "I am just...a bit tired with all the excitement today." That damned Jenny almost burst out with laughter after my comment. 'That little teasing bitch', I thought to myself', 'She knows exactly what she is doing to me'.I vowed to get her back good for being such a little slut. Earlier in the day Mom had announced that Grandma Ruth wanted to come see me and. Thanks, Katelyn,” I said and watched them leave. I was pretty good the rest of the afternoon and I only needed Katelyn’s help one more time. By the dinner was served I even had my appetite back. I still felt guilty about Mom cheating on Dad with me but there was nothing I could do about it.I was pretty nervous that night when I approached my parents’ bedroom. I mean, why couldn’t Mom have come to my bedroom? “Come in, Colin,” Mom said in a normal voice. I kind of jumped because she was going to. Short, barely more than waist high on me, their furred faces featured odd, hard-plated mouth and jaw segments that managed to just barely avoid looking like a bill or beak. They seemed to have little in the way of necks, with their heads nestled into rounded shoulders amidst a thick ruff of fur or feathers, I wasn't sure which. All this I saw as bits and pieces only, as the Tibu wore thin lizard skin leathers over most parts of their bodies.The two Tibu who met us rode beasts they called Rul —. But as the amount was so large, that they felt it prudent that they withhold 30% for taxes. I did some rough math in my head, 150,000 shares at $30 per share came out to $4,500,000 ~ HOLY SHIT!!! And 30% of that was $1,350,000!!!! ~ HOLY DOUBLE SHIT!!!! That left me with a check of about $3,150,000! HOLY TRIPLE SHIT!!!!! I had become a millionaire overnight! I went down to the brokerage and picked up my check. I guess my hands must have been shaking as I took possession of it! I don’t think.
