.bless her, and invited me round for coffee at her place at about eleven am the next morning, which I excepted, and for old times sake, I would turn u.... It was indeed pleasant to see her again. Although she had been more of a best mate to me before more than anything else.I went and visited her the next morning, where she enthusiastically invited me in, and showed me into the lounge before disappearing into the kitchen, re-appearing moments later with two coffees which she placed on the oak. "Thanks so much John. I wasn't looking forward to trying to find another sponsor."Marie was crying, but then the mother of the bride is allowed to cry at weddings. Not quite a wedding, but close enough. Colin had picked up on what John had said earlier, "You call your AI Hal?" You know what I'm like with old movies. How could I call it anything else?" True. We just call ours 'AI' which is kinda boring."Liz looked at John. "Shall I tell him?" When John nodded, she turned to their friend. "Colin,. I mean, you know, about what's happened between us,..." he finally started, his nervousness evident in his stammering, unsure voice. Getting no immediate response from me he went on, "I know you think honey,... since your birthday I mean,...that you've felt something different for me, for Daddy,... that maybe something..."He kept taking quick glances at me as he spoke, clearly uncomfortable hoping I'd help him. "I know I should have said something before," he went on, "I've wanted to but ... if. "You grip even harder. "Well? Are you??" Aaagghhh! No, I won't forget!" I say, as I squeeze my eyes shut at the pain.You just glare down at me, staring into my eyes, still gripping tightly. I almost begin to speak again, but just then you smile, and release me. I look and see that my skin is white where your hands were. My legs still feel tender where you pinched them, but I at least feel a little relieved that you seem satisfied.However, that feeling doesn't last long. You turn and walk out of.
