Are you going to be up for a while?” I said, “Yeah, I’m watching the end of this game and then I’ll be up. Is that okay?” She said, “Yes... that’s fine. While you’re watching, can you help my mother with the rest of the dishes?” My mother-in-law said, “No, it’s fine. I don’t need help, just pour me another wine and keep me company while I clean them.” I said, “I can do that,” and poured her a glass. I kissed my wife good night and watched her walk upstairs. We decided to stay that night. Now, I had often wondered what it would be like if things were different but I knew that Peggy wasn't into jocks.

I already mentioned the cute smile which only succeeded in emphasizing her beauty. It was then that I turned a striking shade of red as realization struck me. I had been standing there mouth agape hungrily looking up and down this girl’s body. Her flirtatious grin had turned to a slight look of unease and I hastily averted my stare to something behind her in an attempt at nonchalance.
