”The driver said something. I looked at Sylvia and she interpreted, “He says to hurry, we are losing time.”I hugged her, reached into the truck ...ed and removed my suitcase. The driver saw and stepped out of the truck to protest, but Sylvia held up her hand as she saw me unzip the case and flip it open. I removed my shoes and socks, then my blouse and bra, and completed my strip by removing my shorts and panties. I dropped each into the case and zipped it back up, throwing it back into the box. I stopped looking at Shirley long enough to turn and speak to Hans."I just met her. We're playing golf together tomorrow morning though. Her name is Shirley. I think I'm done with girlfriends for awhile Hans. Too much trouble." Hans just smiled at me. He looked like he didn't believe me."Bunny used to tell me the same thing, but he always went back. Once you get started with the girls, Kenny, you never go back to the way things were. You'll see, your body won't let you." Hans had to be wrong.. "Abram said, "Yes I do. I don't know whether to shake your hand or give you a hug or a cheek kiss." He had both his hands out a little but out sideways a little too. He was set to go either way.I said, "Abram, you're a welcome guest and welcome guests get a hug." I stepped right into him and wrapped his neck but not that hurried. He wrapped my waist, hugged me, and tilted back and looked at me, our middles pressed into each other's. I held my smile. "Thank you both very much for the. Suddenly there was an annoying buzzing coming from the door, we ignoredit at first."Alice, it's me, is Calista alright?" asked Navigator Turner somewherein my clouded mind. "QM Tech Sergeant Turner was concerned about her."I felt Momma's hand lift away from my thigh as she waved toward thedoor, some where I heard it hiss open then closed again."Oh my, are we interrupting, Sylvia should we go?"I heard a low breathy reply, "Oh damn Vicky it's too late for thatnow." Momma had drawn her fingertip.
