My father sank back down tothe floor and my mother sat back down on James' lap. James looked at meand said, "Ally, if you're feeling tired, why don't...you go to your roomand go to sleep?"I put on a forced smile and softly said, "Thanks daddy. That soundslike a good idea."As I walked past him, he chuckled and said, "You'll need your energybecause you're going to have a busy day at school tomorrow."My heart sank. I didn't even think about what he would do to me atschool. I simply grunted at. .” she trailed off and gasped. “The bottle she took?!!?”“The very same,” I told her. “She decided that it was time to return it.”“Why now?” she asked. “You said she was holding onto it because she didn’t want you drinking like you were.”“She didn’t want me holding onto the past anymore,” I reminded her. “She wanted me to find someone to move forward with.”“Have you?!” she asked excitedly.“I have,” I told her. “Her name is Lori. She’s amazing. She’s here with me.”She screamed in excitement and I. Anulekha’s face turned pink by blushing. She grew up under the shadow of her sister. So she never knew how beautiful she was. She knew she had many admirers in college.But she didn’t want to bring a bad name to Balwant ji for providing free education. The boys were also afraid to approach a girl from a powerful family. But Dhondu cared nonetheless. Just this morning, he had packed all of his belongings in a suitcase to run away in case something bad happens.But the entire scenario has changed. Only the urge to breathe broke the kiss. They sat close, catching their breath knowing that something very powerful had been unleashed. The next kiss was less innocent…more probing…unquestionably sexual. His tongue caressed her lips, hers in turn probed inside…searching…wanting…needing. ‘Strawberries…she tastes like strawberries…lip gloss…whatever. More..tastes sweet…more…want more.’ His brain was addled, had he said those words or thought them? That turned the heat way up. Cautiously, Bill’s.
