Newman smiling at me from behind his desk. “Could you come here for a moment, Samantha?” “It’s Sam,” I corrected him for about the hundred...h time. He either didn’t hear me, or didn’t care as he motioned for me to sit down in the chair on the other side of the table. “I have a favour to ask of you. Now, I know it’s a little last minute and all, but I’m a little stuck...” This didn’t surprise me. Mr. Newman asked me for certain favours at least once a month, and I was always happy to do them.. " Do you want your extra kisses, ahead of your normal turn?"Laci looked to the other girls for guidance. I jumped in with, "Don't look to them Laci. They know I was unfair to you, and none of them will object to my trying to make it up to you. Anyway, I get to choose who I kiss. They're my lips, after all."#1: "You don't mind?" Laci asked me. I'm not sure what she thought I was minding, but as I said before, she's the daughter of a football-favoring father and a woman that chose to marry him. I. When there's a table for two and we're next, he'll come for us. Incidentally, the bar is odd, too. Bar prices are in even dollars, tax included; it's the same price regardless of what you drink. A soft drink or a call brand, it makes no difference. It makes life easy for the bartender. He just multiplies the number of drinks you had by the standard price and that's the tab." Bob looked at Jill and saw a guilty little smile on her face. He asked, "What did you do now? The look on your face says. "You look like you have seen a ghost," he smiled. This was breathtaking. He looked even better than I remembered. He was only a little younger than James. "Well..." I tried to say. "I thought you were dead." I finished. He gave a small laugh and stroked my hair with his hand. "Oh, Lola, that was the point of the whole damn thing," he grinned. I had forgotten about James standing behind me. But suddenly Melissa moved over to Michael and smiled at him with themost gorgeous she had. Also Michael.
