Netra loved it when I bought gifts for her. Unfortunately, we both still hadn’t taken the next step. But surely, she was on my sex menu, and one day...I was going to taste her too.The idea of chocolates and flowers worked beautifully as the leave of absence for a week was granted.I was over the moon. I called Maya at home and told her to get my travel bag ready. After work, I grabbed some local sweets and condiments for Nandini. That night I just couldn’t sleep.Finally, the bitch who called me. He offered to buy me dinner. I paused, as if considering it. My stomach growled at me at just the idea of food, I’d not eaten much the last two days. I waited though. One second. I couldn’t let him see how much I wanted it. Two seconds. Besides he’d be more pleased to take me if he thought he’d won against the odds, no need to be too easy. I bit my lip as though considering my options. Three seconds is a long time to wait, a long time for him to be left hanging, a long time for me to pretend I. We (Davie, June, July and me) were at Tracie's house. She was making Davie a birthday dinner. She made her special meatloaf, with a stick of polish sausage in the middle. She injects melted cheese in the meatloaf, and she covered it with ketchup and lots of bacon. As Emeril says pork fat rules. The rest of the meal consisted of mash potatoes and brown gravy, with some meatloaf fat juices stirred into the gravy. We had green beans and coleslaw (Davie loves coleslaw), along with chocolate cake. She learned that I liked to draw portraits and hoped to do so before her rather rude critique. I also told her I had never married. I was pretty sure I mentioned that I much preferred men, but I had done it with a woman or two. That was just in the spirit of full disclosure. While on the road home I remembered her response. "That isn't part of our agreement. I am happily married," she had said. I had to admit I got no clear vibe from her.I was home shortly after 2:30. I found a note on my door..
