I tried to call Julie and through the door I could hear her phone ring."Hello" She said."Julie" I said."What do you want?" came back the rude reply."W...ll, I was wondering if you had any plans for tomorrow night" "I'd Like to take you out to eat and to a play" That's a good Idea" Julie said. "I've been wanting to see La Miz at the Majestic"."So, what are you doing now" I quarried."Nothing much, just setting at my desk" Came her reply."Okay, can I speak to John?" I asked, knowing that John was. " Yeah, Jen used to do that as well - but I think both of you have grown out of it. I certainly haven't noticed you doing it. Or perhaps you're not shy or nervous around me?"She giggled at that comment - we were now far too familiar with each other's 'private' parts to have the slightest trace of self-consciousness left!"Well, we'll have to watch out for each other then!"She was quite right; we were far more likely to get something wrong if we were nervous, and talking about what might go wrong. At least that waswhat happened with X-X milk donors. When small samples from X-Y donorswere tested, the factor was present in much higher concentrations and wasvery consistent from sample to sample. When Jaden and I reached that partof the article I looked at him and asked, "Uh, what's an X-X donor?" X-X is a girl you dope, don't you remember going over that in biology?" So, uh, if X-X is a girl then what's an X-Y........." And I paused as Irealized that I knew what an X-Y was, it was a guy!. And I just made him use it. You were right. It definitely makeshim look like a swish." That's what he needs. To look like what he is. You can slap some make-upon him, too, just in case he tries to tell himself he's macho." Great idea." And like I said, I'll be out of town for work. I'll be opening that newgym about fifty miles away. But I'll see you next Saturday. Right?"It was less of an invitation than a direct order. Instead of beinginsulted or expecting more consideration, Alana was.
