", and then I gave her a big grin. She didn't answer at first and grabbed some orange juice from the fridge and when she closed it, she drooped her s...oulders and said "I might as well invite them too. Of course you know, by the time it is over, I won't be able to walk and I will be so sore that we can't have sex. Damn! 14 guys? Seriously? 14?" I smiled and kissed her and said "Come on. You know you want to." She dropped her head to the table and shook her head. We didn't say anything. My step mom and I were getting closer already.I sashayed into the walk-in closet to find a dress. My step mom has lots of clothes, from sexy mini-skirts to dazzling sequin gowns.

My step mother would be proud. If she only knew, if she only knew, I thought.Make-up was next. In the bathroom, I took my step mom's make up kit. According to Maxine she had been at last Friday's game cheering on the Red and Gold. Suddenly I had no interest in the game and I got up and left. Maxine wasn't home when I got there and according to mom she hadn't come home from school."It's a game night honey; you know she goes right from school to the game."I gave her a bleak look and didn't say anything. The game should have ended around eight so Maxine should have been home no later than eight-thirty if she intended to keep fooling. Leda was here for her sister too, except she was the proper guardian for her sister rather than just a temporary mum like me.

She said sometimes these things were necessary and it wasn’t so bad, really.We got called in for our interview and Miss Little stood up from her chair to greet us. She doesn’t fit her name, by the way, she’s medium height and a little bit plump. Miss Little is probably only a few years.
