I just thought it might be good to, you know, just talk." I guess so." Could you meet me for a beer at McFadden's after work?"Well, as it happened, I ...ould. Tonight was Lynn's yoga class and she wouldn't be home until about 9:00. I usually just pissed Thursday evenings away, waiting for Lynn to get home. I'd watch some TV show that I later wished I hadn't spent any of my life watching or surf the web for some interesting porn. Really, I was free. I could have made up an excuse, of course. But I. She was very pretty in the face her features being both delicate and pristine looking like they had never known dirt. She wore a small pink tank top and light blue denim jeans in a look that said ‘I’m only visiting my brother’s friend’. As I had expected, the first twenty minutes or so were filled with polite conversation in between extended periods of awkward silence. Several times I wondered if the silence was brought on by me staring or whether it was just me being paranoid. Either way I was. She was stiff, her hands at her side as I pulled tight."Thanks for doing this, Wanda. You obviously did a good job; Jill's really excited about what you two picked out."I don't know what demons had been in her mind, what she had been afraid of. When it became evident I was just thanking her, her arms came up around me and she pulled closer. I could feel her relax as she held tight, her head on my shoulder next to mine. I let her enjoy it for a minute or so.Jill came out of the kitchen with. After our vows were given, the celebrating began with toasts and cake, LOTS of cake. The partying quickly escalated as we began chucking frosting at one another and our steps became a little less sure. The bubbling drinks bringing us all together in pointless laughs. Smiling I looked around for my hubby, sadly I found no sign of him, for some reason that seemed to anger me. With a huff, I stalked over to the bar and ordered a straight shot of vodka. Throwing it back, it helped to push thought.
