She woke up later that night though to find him standing over her. It took her a few seconds to realize the blankets once covering her were gone and h...r nightdress was hiked up around her waist, and her underwear she realized with shock dangled from his hands.She tried to cover her crotch area but he swatted away her hands. "No, let me look."Sara cringed as came to the bed and she realized he wore only boxers. "What are you doing?"He did not answer at first but pulled down his boxers and she. “I reckon my family got the best of me. I forgot all about today being Friday and my birthday. I’ve never been told Happy Birthday since my eleventh birthday, when Rose and our Ma told me that. I don’t reckon I even know what to say,” Eli said as tears welled up in his eyes.They had cooked a big supper, as big as a Thanksgiving feast. Each of them had either made or bought him something and it was fun for them to hand him his presents.Little Duck had made Eli two pair of moccasins. Eva and Catt. Was she asking me which of the two guest rooms she should head for or was she including the master bedroom in her inquiry? Or was she daring enough to want to use a different bedroom every night for as long as she would spend with me here in the City where damn near every street was named Peachtree? I knew instantly the answer that I wanted to give, but that of course would take me back to the prior paragraph. In my mind, alas, I could neither decide nor delay. I chickened out. I stared at her. We met as I was headed for the shower. When I looked closer, I saw that she was just wearing the thin slip she had been wearing beneath her robe that morning. The slip barely reached her knees. It was so thin, I could tell that she wasn't wearing a bra or panties underneath. I could see the brown circles around her pointing nipples and her pubic hair outline clearly as the slip pressed to her body. I tried to pass by and ignore the way she was dressed, but she hit out at me as I made a mad dash.
