I looked over at Ethan who was sitting across from me at a card table thathad been set up. He was concentrating on the cards he had in his hand forthe...latest game we were playing, but he looked up. I saw him smile, and Ifelt my own lips spread as I turned my gaze back to my own hand. If nothingelse, he seemed to be having fun.I played a card onto the pile, and then glanced around the room. Everyonewas smiling, and I felt so happy about having so many wonderful people inmy life. 'Remembered' was. ”Chuck and Bill were talking over a drink and the bell rang again. Goldilocks was there along with her husband Dan. She slipped into the door and motioned to me. “Rob is outside in his car. I told him we were coming over to play but I didn’t know if you wanted another cock. If I don’t wave to him he’s just going to drive home.”Josie said, “That’s perfect.” She noticed the concern on my face. “If you’re not up to it I’m sure the rest of us can make use of him.”I shrugged and said to. We drank champagne and watched the lights of the city stretching as far as the horizon, I thought they looked like stars. I wondered aloud about all the headlights heading down La Cienega and across Hollywood Boulevard. Jimmy said that it was Saturday night and they were all looking for love. After our meal, I nestled between his legs as he leaned against the Oak Tree. I shivered either from the cooling evening or from his closeness. He put his arms around and pulled me into him and I could. Salmons, the CEO of the company, was drunk on his ass and that as the most junior manager there I had been elected to take him home. Bettina was a little pissed at having to leave the party early, but finally she realized what not graciously accepting the task would do to my career and she cooled down. A couple of guys managed to get Salmons out to my car and had dumped him on the front seat next to Bettina. I was a little surprised to find that Salmons wasn't all that drunk, just too drunk to.
