We can’t see Fiona’s face as she’s gone beyond us, but we hear her reaction.“Oh my Lord, he’s a beautiful dog!”And she’s crouching down ...nfront of him. The door still wide open to the hallway beyond. She’s making a fuss of the mean looking beast, telling him what a “handsome beast” he is, and how much she is “looking forward to having some good times” with him. As she fusses, one of her neighbours passes by outside, looking in just long enough to see the camera crew behind the naked African. She took a deep breath, her face on fire, her mind buzzing, and she moved her hands between her sons legs, soaping up his naked crotch. Oooh! the boy breathed. Oh, man! His words were barely audible. His soapy toes curled against the porcelain of the tub. Alicia was breathing as if shed just run up three flights of stairs. Her heart was banging in her chest. She couldnt control her hands. Rickys soapy feet slid on the floor of the tub as he spread his legs. His knees were shaking. Alicias hands. The chair was the most comfortable thing I had ever sat in. There was a porcelain foot basin filled with inviting bubbles and the most amazing scent. The water was the perfect temperature and the tension that had seemed to possess my body for months suddenly began to lessen. There was a light knock on the door and Sissy walked in. The tension returned for a moment because Sissy was wearing a robe that matched the one I had on. She took it off and laid it across a chair revealing a pair of pink. But Grandpa ended up teaching me a lot more than just how to work a stick shift.The first few weeks went smoothly. Grandpa was a really excellent teacher. IF I screwed up, he'd calmly show me what I did wrong, and he'd give me a big hug when I got it right. In fact, he grew more affectionate with every new lesson, until it became apparent that my grandfather was trying to cop a cheap feel.I didn't mind. So what if he was my grandfather? He was still an extremely handsome man, and on top of.
