I volunteered to check just as my mother came back into the room. That deep, luxurious carpeting we have throughout the house is nice if you’re walk...ng around without your shoes on. But it makes it very easy for people to sneak up on you without even meaning to.Mom asked, “Check what, dear?”Without missing a beat, quick witted Cass replied, “I asked him to check my pool filter sometime tomorrow. I think it might be clogged and I don’t even know how to open it.”Mom poured wine for herself and. .." he paused, " ... have you ridden before?"With the accent on the word "ridden" the double entendre was not lost on Justine who reddened."I ... that is ... yes." Good! We'll set out immediately after breakfast."I'm ... looking forward to it," she replied, trying to hide her embarrassment from Andre.The count rode a magnificent black stallion while Justine rode a chestnut mare, somewhat smaller and gentler but spirited nevertheless."How large is your estate?" asked Justine after they had been. I really didn't like the wink she was giving to another male restaurant patron who was trying to ignore her and pay attention to his own date. It didn't work. Outraged, his date upended a mostly full plate of pasta over his head and stomped out. The Flirt just winked at him harder and gave him one hell of a 'come hither' look.I walked out too and told my old friend the waiter that my date was on her own and I left. Obviously she never noticed my absence and she just cast her net for other fish.. We are a batch of 6 members 3 girls and 3 boys. None of us were lovers and all are good friends. Though one girl had an eye on me since the day she joined our class. I used to speak only to one girl in my class and she is Monica my best friend. I did not have any bad intentions on her and neither she. She is my best friend of my college( later she confessed that she had a crush on me). The other girl used to call me brother whenever she speaks. The other two boys are my friends, one was Sekhar.
