He took the complaint, seriously and assured me that he would replace Laddan with new person. He also assured me that he will stay at the side himself...every day, every minute until the work was finished.Now I was off the problem from these three morons. I was thinking that the punishment was enough for Neetu so took all the things and went inside the house. Closing both the doors, the back one and front one. Went inside the bedroom and closed the curtain, and started to peep from the curtains.. She kissed him, the $1.00 kiss, a chaste, demure kiss. Then she kissed him again. And again. And again. He ran out of dollars before she ran out of kisses. So, with a light in her eyes, she kissed him for free. The free kiss wasn't the chaste, demure kiss. The chaste one was reserved for the paying customers. The free kiss was one with fire and passion and the promise of things to come.And those things, they did come. Not quickly, not like with today's young couples. They didn't jump into bed. ..”“Ok. What are you trying to tell me here Beth?”“Larry, I guess. Well, do you think I could go to college too? I don’t want to flip burgers all my life and I don’t want to just exist either. I want to do something and, oh, I don’t know. I want to see the world. I want to lay on a beach and eat fancy meals and wear fine clothes and I can’t do that now. Do you think I could go to college and learn something that I can make enough money at to do those things?”“Beth I don’t know. I mean, I know. We started having lunch together and going on small trips to nearby places whenever possible. Anywhere we went, we always made it a point to return before dark because Rashmi’s and Neha’s parents were very strict. They had very strict instructions about them being home before dark.I could still not gather any courage to let anyone know about my crush on Rashmi. But I always looked for excuses to look at her light pinkish lips dreaming about how they tasted. That year passed without incident..
