‘Thanks you guys!’ she said as they clinked glasses. Louisa took a big sip of hers and closed her eyes as she sighed in satisfaction. ‘Mmm, that...��s the best drink I’ve ever tasted.’ Natalie raised her eyebrows. ‘You mean, this isn’t your first drink?’ Louisa laughed and waved a hand. ‘OK, OK. It’s the best legal drink I’ve ever tasted.’ ‘That’s better.’ They chattered together for several minutes as they drank their first two rounds. The bar slowly filled up and Louisa’s eyes started to wander. The flight back to Alabama went faster this time. Nikki informed us that we were two thousand feet higher and fifty knots faster. The previous four-hour flight is now going to take less than three.“Of course that’s costing a fortune in fuel,” Cindy injected into the conversation. “I love flyin’ this thing, but it’s expensive.

It's like music to my ears and sets fire to my very soul.In the interest of saving time we undressed ourselves while the shower was warming up. She and I both couldn't resist giving each other little pinches and caresses as we got into the shower. She said "Let's hurry so we can get into bed" "No way sexy lady." I replied "We are going to take our time and do it right." She just giggled, grabbing the bar of soap and lathering me up. As we have found over time is that we required some special. It had meant that my most pressing matterhad to be postponed."Where have you been?" he asked casually. Looking disheveled at thekitchen table, nursing a pod coffee."Hangover food." I tried to match his nonchalance, in spite of theangst inside me. I hold up the shopping bags as indication."Hmmmm. Bacon," he drools."I figured as much," I reply. "I'll just cook the lot shall I?" Thank you Alex," he says with puppy dog face. He's trying to becute. Of course it's working but I won't let him know.
