It is obvious in talking with you and your father that you both are fine men. I am pleased to be able to make the evening as pleasurable as possible."...And I have something for you," he said, producing an exquisite orchid."It is lovely. You are very thoughtful. Thank you."Niomi served a simple, yet tasty, dinner of fish and rice. The boy almost overly polite, gradually began to relax and they talked of school, his friends and his loneliness because he was so often shunned by would-be friends.. I was fortunate that everything cameout perfect, not a usual occurrence for me. We chatted about a lot ofdifferent things from childhood to politics. We were able to discuss anddisagree without any problems. I refilled the wine glasses and we movedto the living room where I had some music playing softly.We sat together on the couch, my dress spilling over the top of her legsas I sat. I tried to gather it over to the other side. She reached downand took my hand."Don't worry about it, it's fine,". It seemed impossible that it had been barely six months since we had met and I had been lassoed like a lonesome steer. A few months of the single life and I was already destined for domestic life once more. There was a difference, however. I was going willingly, without hesitation, happily."I've made the plane reservations for the five of us," she said. "We go from Oakland to Seattle, then to Vancouver. Okay?" Sure. Where are we staying?" I asked."You will stay at your parents' place. My. I don't see it here." She turned around and started to walk away as I said, "Hold on, one sec!" I lifted the pillow and picked the red thong that was still damp and said, "Is this what you are looking for?" She froze at the spot for a moment. I swear I saw droplets of sweat appear on her forehead, as she said "No! those are not mine". "You lying little slut!" is the thought that came to mind, but it fell just a little short from reaching my lips. I must have been taken over by the devil at that.
