Jessica showed up a while later. "What's going on?" she asked"The neighboring states just cut California out of the power grid; the power system is de...d," I said."Damn! Are the people going to all leave or what?" she asked."I don't know. They don't seem to be doing anything yet. They may think it will be back on, or they may be waiting till night." Well the temperature has not been as bad today; maybe they will get out tonight." We could also hope the heat-wave peaked. Maybe it's not going to. Yes,we're back home. Can you come on over? Great."Eric stared at his wife as he wondered why Willow was coming over to seethem. He then repeated his question to her.Bianca looked at him oddly and said, "You're too young to have a car,Jasmine." Stop with the games," Eric replied."I don't know what you're talking about, Jasmine, and if you speak to mewith that tone at school, you're going to be in big trouble. Do youunderstand?"Eric nodded as he put his head down and asked, "What happened to. “Come on, we’ll go… up to your Dad’s roooooom… there’sss a huge king-sized bed. That’ll be great.” Andy murmured in his dr(u)nk voice. “You’re sure a sexy little girl… you know that?” He took her arm, his fingers caressing her soft young flesh sensually. “Mmmmm, nice and soft. Hey John, you’re lucky that you get to fuck her all you want.”Sandra allowed herself to led upstairs…. “Yeah… I’m lucky, too… he r(a)ped me the first few times, you know.” she mumbled.Both men laughed, and John said,. I couldn't be sure of the color because it kept changing as the light reflected off it. We cantered west towards the North Platte. The riverbank was grassy and she led me to a flat place under a large willow. It was a beautiful spot for the picnic lunch she had packed.I spread a blanket out that she had brought with her and put the basket on it. Roxie wanted to walk so we took off upstream. It was a pretty place with the sun-speckled river laughin' its way downstream over the rocks, the snow.
