I had been to the bar to refresh our drinks yet again and on the way back when I noticed that a couple of the students had engaged Jenny in conversati...n both were big well built Black guys whom I would guess were about 20 years old they were getting on like a house on fire with my missus, all of them were laughing and were like old friends, when I arrived they introduced themselves and Jenny explained they had been helping her with a stiff catch on her recliner, a likely story I thought but. Alyssa... Trevor... she shook her head. "What happened?" Her voice wasdifferent. She was different. "The shift came early? How..." We're still trying to figure that out," Michael said.They were in the living room of the Bailey house, Alyssa lying prone on thecouch with a wet compress over her head. Her parents' faces were knit withworry. Her head didn't hurt, though - it was just... muddled. She sat up andlooked down upon herself. Long chestnut-brown hair obscured the view, butshe could tell. We didn’t think we could ask Aunt Sadie and we definitely couldn’t ask our dad. Our dad worked hard providing for us and always attended all of our school events and let us know that we were special to him. Earlier that year, he had gotten hurt on the job and although he was pretty well healed and back to work, he had trouble sleeping. The doctor had given him some sleeping pills and they worked really well for him. So one night, Marty and I hatched a plan. Every night, we would pour dad a. He didn't know where to look, whether at my long legs in black tights or my full lips with new pale pink lipstick.We arrived at the flat; I paid him, and took my bags in. I opened my door, and went straight to my bedroom. It was 5pm. I unwrapped all my new clothes and put them away into my bedroom cupboards and drawers. I went to the bathroom and ran myself a nice perfumed oiled hot bath. I went back to the bedroom and undressed. I noticed a note was in one of the empty bags, it was from.
