.. what if somebody does come down here?" Nobody will. But if they did, you can just hide over there in the extra guest room and I'll just say I was u... watching TV and I came down here so I wouldn't wake anybody up."Jack looked toward the doorway to which Taylor had gestured, which led to a small room off the basement family which was set up as an overflow guest bedroom."O.K., I guess that sounds safe enough." Yeah, don't worry, Jack. Now, what's going on?" Sorry to text you so late. I didn't. It was an excuse for a formal evening out in the early fall to fill in the gap after Labor Day and before the traditional holidays. Ryan hadn't gone to the one last year. He didn't like many of the people Carrie worked with and he surprised Carrie this year with his enthusiasm about attending. She tried once or twice to dissuade him but Ryan wouldn't hear of it.He surprised her again when she saw the beautifully tailored tux he bought just for this event, along with the best accessories he. I lay in a bed, or a quilt of some sort, possibly a sleeping bag or fur. The woman who lay beside me stirred slightly, shifting uneasily in her sleep, a small barely audible gasp escaping her supple lips. The lips fascinated me, and I focused upon them more than upon anything. Her lips seemed not only to be beautiful reaching appendages of her body and soul but also seemed a purpose, a reason. I noticed at this time that I too had lips, sticky and reaching, and felt an urge and desire to have. When we got home it was aboutmidnight and we went straight to bed.Bright and early, about 7:30 the next morning, my alarm went off and I gotready to go in for my interview. Cary was already up and we talked while Igot dressed. He told me again just how much he had invested in this businessand what it would mean to both of us if it worked out and also how much hewas depending on me making a good impression. I told him not to worry becauseI knew how much he was depending on the business and me.
