“You will look after these for me, won’t you, Bill, please?” she said. He felt silk material being pushed under his face and immediately his no...trils were filled with a musky aroma. Bill groaned loudly as he realised that her damp panties were now covering his face. No longer could he smell the ginger root and no longer did he think about his forthcoming pain as she moved to the bottom of the table. He couldn’t see her lift the root out of the glass, but he did feel the drops of water falling. “No problem sir,” I hear at the other end of the line. “Thank you and have a nice day.” “You to, sir.” Just before quitting time I look up a flower shop in the internet, pack up my case and head out at an almost running pace. I buy a single red rose and make my way to the square. I stand at the edge of the massive expanse surrounded by shops, restaurants and as the main building, city hall. Staring through the crowed trying to spot her. I look at my phone, its five fifty-eight. My heart. For Hannah, six. Eventually, we settled on the little church near Mishawaka. The cabinet considered it a demotion as the membership was much smaller than the church I’d been serving in Fort Wayne. Yes, even among the clergy there was an acceptable route of promotions to ever bigger churches and higher salaries. Coming to Mishawaka meant a cut in pay as well as a smaller church. But it was a cut I was willing to take in exchange for being left there for six years. The bishop agreed and I was. So I kissed her. I didn’t mind.We broke apart, and lied there, her snuggled up against me, my arm around her.“I love you so much,” I said.“I love you, too.”________________________________________________________________________I woke up to the sound of her breathing right next to me. We were still both completely naked, our bodies together, still kind of sweaty. I watched her sleep for a minute, then I kissed her on the forehead and closed my eyes to go back to sleep. However, that’s not what.
