Ricky and his boys were happy for the beer on a Friday night. Will had one while they talked and then drove home two hours later. The next day, he had...his carburetors in a lovely array of orderly bits on the workbench as Paco came out and asked if he had a spare rear race stand. He said that his cousin would like to borrow it for a day or two. Will said no, but offered his, since he wouldn’t need it for a while, but that the width might need to be adjusted for the bike, and he’d help if. And got annoyed, but not for long. As soon as I was at Nikkie’s house I realised she had left the front door open due to the nice weather. It was very sunny. And quite warm too. I walked through; set the bag I had brought with me on the sofa, and walked to Nikkie. Facing toward the garden, humming. I grabbed her round the waist and lifted her up into a hug. She was surprised but joyful too. “Nikkie. Sit here” I said, patting the 2-seater sofa. The one across from the 3-seater, which had my bag. Bobbie rang homeand her mother confirmed that, indeed, she would need to buy some morelingerie. "Do you have any money with you dear?" she enquired and, onBobbie confirming that she did, gave her permission for the two of themto go into town."As it is Saturday, you need to look trendy going into town," Sallyadvised. "The skirt and sweater you wore over here will do just fine.You can leave the things you are borrowing here until we get back.Bobbie had cycled over to "Stan's" house and his bike. ”, she said with some regret in her voice. “Now behave yourself and go and talk to your brother while I finish up here.”I did as I was told, and a few minutes later I heard the unmistakable sound of her high heels hitting the hardwood floor, as she slowly walked down the hallway.We both looked over as she walked into the living room and my brother’s chin almost hit the floor as his eyes took her in.“Do I look ok?” she said with a smile that said she knew exactly what we thought.We both nodded.
