She was gorgeous and I told her so. Surprisingly, Christina blushed in response and looked away.I knew slow and tender would be good with Christina. F...om the pillow talk over the last couple of weeks I had learnt a lot about the women in Tilly's extended family. Christina had been a bookish girl back on Earth. She had been smart, focused, and a little reserved. The big thing that had made her bookish had been her glasses. Back on Earth Christina had been horribly myopic. She'd worn heavy. I picked up my glass and finished it – bottoms up. Dad laughed aloud and said, ‘Now you are on, my dear. Let us have dinner now’. Neeta and mom served us our delicious dinner. Dad refilled all the glasses and we started our second round. Now, Neeta sat besides dad and mom besides me. Dad asked both the ladies to push their chairs a bit back, which they did. Dad then asked the beautiful, sexy ladies to pick some pieces of carrot and cucumber. He said, ‘These are good for health and me must have. " I just sat there listening and wishing I could crawl under the table and die! "I rented the hotel room so we could have a nice romantic evening after the party. I was getting changed when you came in. I didn't want to leave the house dressed up and make you suspicious. Steve was going to bring you to the hotel around eight and we were going to surprise you with a party in the same room we had our reception in when we were married." I felt small and ashamed. I struggled for words to try to. I was also happy with her sense of decorum. She did not flaunt our marriage in general company, not until she knew her company. With Charlie and Helen, we were family, and she could be ‘baby’ to me and I could be ‘baby’ to her.“Baby,” she said, “I think that’s a good plan. It’s a chance for everybody to meet Mister Charlie and Mizz Helen, and it makes life easier. That way, we graduate me, then Thursday we fly up to Tennessee for Susan and Tina’s graduation, then get up Saturday morning and fly.
