The buxom lady sat on my lap with both of us sipping one of the tall drinks. She laid her head on my shoulder, and said, “I’m so glad we’re taki...g this time to be together. Your ladies are all so loving and want to be a part of us. Steve’s ladies, and that includes me, want them to be a part of us too. You know that you are someone special to Steve. He depends on you for so much, that I’m surprised he’s not trying to get you involved with S&S. I’d love for you to be involved with Quality Wear,. You’ll be fine.” Five minutes later, one of the other sons, come running in and he says, “Mom, mom, I...” But the mother cuts him off and she says, “I know, I know, you pissed out a bee bee. I dropped it into the cake batter, but you’ll be fine.” Then her last son runs in the room, and he says, “Mom, mom, I...” And the mother cuts him off and says, “I know, I know, you pissed out a bee bee. It’s my fault for dropping it in the cake batter, but you’ll be fine.” But then son says, “No, no, I was. Thank you, Mr. Harris,” Gail stammered, blushing at the compliment. “Ihope you like Brandy and water. I think that’s all Crystal has here.”“Fine,” Frank said, sinking down on the couch. “Now come over here and tell me allabout your parents. They can’t be as narrow minded as Crystal makes out.”“Sorry but . . . I’m afraid they are,” Gail said, smiling nervously. It was impossible tokeep her hands from shaking as she handed Frank his drink. He was so handsomehe ought to have been a movie star and. There was an enormous swimming pool with a diving board. She guided them down the steps to where there was a barbecue and two doors. She opened the first door showing them a small room crammed with cushions for the chairs and recliners that were scattered around the pool. There were also lilos and children's pool toys. She locked the door again taking the key with her and opened the other. That had bags of charcoal and barbecue equipment. She relocked that door and removed the key. She led them.
