“See you later Mrs. Tanner. Stay sexy!” I caught a glimpse of her pleasantly shocked expression as I turned and trotted off.“What was that?” I...heard her ask my mom. She sounded more flattered than offended.“Don’t pay any attention to him, he’s going through a phase. You know how boys can be.”I could barely keep from busting out laughing. As soon as I got inside I went into the living room and peeked around the curtain at them out there talking. My mom had her hand pressed across the front of. He now had a huge smile of satisfaction on his face.Joe remained outside for the next 10 minutes.Joe smoked two cigarettes before he made his way back into the church hall.Polly now saw Joe re-enter the hall alone and she just smiled to herself.Joe came back up to the bar and ordered a large whisky.Polly now served him with a smile on her face.She then whispered to him.“Was everything ok?”Joe just grinned at her and Polly knew that he had succeeded with Emily.Polly did not feel jealous she just. I hadn’t even known that Laramie kept the guns. I assumed they’d been buried with Kyle’s body. There was something soothing about having them here where they could protect her.Protection. That was why I was here. I had to protect my family. But I had no body. What good would my guns do me?I heard gunfire at a distance. Doors were slamming and there were footsteps in the house. People were shouting, inside and out. The door to Laramie’s room flew open, but it wasn’t Laramie who entered. It was. Suddenly my shift was changed to early morning. I had to reach the office at 5.30. I told maami not to wake up for me as I can have my breakfast in the office. So I woke up the next day for the office and got ready.I realized maami is sleeping with legs spread apart, that too with both legs making a triangle on the bed (not flat). It struck me that I can see her innerwear if I peek from bed corner and I decided to do it. It was still dark as it was hardly 5 in the morning.So I lit my mobile.
