My mind went back to those little kisses on the deck at the Reef. I could not wait until Friday. Friday morning I was at my desk when the Control...er came in with the cash forecasts. Money was coming in faster than I had originally forecast, and I knew that it was because the vendors didn't want anything to slow down their shipments. The word was out and everyone wanted Aussie Seltzer on their shelves. I decided to give Sam her first check a little early and had it ready when I left. It's broken... Saitou: And Shishio got away.Misao (scowling at him): Hey!!Kenshin: What? We can make a new sword, and we can follow Shishio again. (he smiles) For now, Shishio has pulled out of Shingetsu, and I'm glad about that.(While they're talking, Eiji moves over beside the fallen Senkaku.)Eiji (thinking): He's breathing. He's not dead.(He grits his teeth and raises the sword.)Misao: Eiji!!Eiji: Die, Senkaku!!Misao: Wait, it's already over--(Saitou catches the sword blade with one hand,. “You did say you had a big exam in your next class, didn’t you?” he calls. “Don’t you need to study?”You roll your eyes, pretending you don’t hear his suggestion. Lorric has been your roommate since you first entered the Institute, but from what you’ve been able to piece together from what little he has told you about his home life, you gather that he has always been very sheltered and consequently always does what he “should” be doing. You also have a feeling that his gentle demeanor and large. I scolded them for being such sluts and spreading their legs for any guy. Of course, my cousins had no idea of my own sexual taboos and would love to see me fall from the pedestal my parents and their parents had put me on. They would love to see the 'golden girl' with the uppity American education brought down a few pegs. So in public I was a professional; a feminist; a proud Mexican who even had my national flag in my home on proud display. Yet, behind the facade was a slut who loved to be.
