“Krystenah, my flower, you look beautiful as always. Have you been a good girl for J?” He looked intensely in my eyes and I began to stammer. “S...e’s been good for the most part, R,” Master said. “And when she is bad, she pays for it,” he said casually. R laughed with J as a waiter pulled out my chair. I could feel the waiter’s eyes on me, but I tried to remain focused on Master. As I sat, the waiter placed a hand on my arm, grazing the side of my breast. I looked up at him in alarm and he. My whole being seemed centered on that kiss. When she broke it, my dress lay in a puddle of fabric around my feet. I hadn't even noticed her taking it over my arms. I embraced her once more. This time, my own hands were busy. I didn't need to perform her trick with the hair. Thankfully, she wore her hair shorter than mine and her hair wouldn't have taken the elaborate style she had given me. It was just as well because I didn't know how it was done. Without my full attention, it would have. " That's my business. Besides, you wouldn't care if I did look like a blimp," declared the annoyed woman."Of course I'd care," said Patrick. "I'm devastated that you'd even think that way about me." I'd care, Mom," said Heather. She didn't want her mother fat unless she was fat with a baby. The thought reminded her to check with her mom and ask if she discussed having another baby with her dad."Me too," said Danny. He looked at his mother as if he was trying to read her mind. At least, that's. . I don't know what her parents are. I can honestly never tell when they're feeding me a line of bullshit so I've stopped worrying about it." Well, I look at it this way," Chris said. "After a couple of hours, I'm out of here and never have to come back. You've got to put up with it until she figures out she could get any guy in the world and tosses you onto the trash heap." Hey, that hits a little close to home," Andy said."Nah," Chris said as he punched Andy on the arm in the way men have.
