But I honestly think I've been able to separate that from my feelings for Greg ... at least most of the time. There was definitely a part of me that w...nted him home. At least I had been wanting home, really badly. But then, his text asking to be picked up out of the blue did feel like an intrusion. I mean, Kevin and I had just..." Just what?" We had just ... tried something we hadn't done before." You didn't have sex with him, did you?" No. Definitely not. It wasn't anything that big. But we. On the drive back I could tell Mark was really nervous like us this was his first time doing anything like this back at the house my wife was still upstairs so we grabbed a couple of beers and sat in the lounge relaxing ourselves just making small talk eventually Angela came down and got a glass of wine and joined us and joined in the conversation and we all got to know a little about each other then we got down to chatting about the the evening ahead and we all agreed that we got on and that. Restaurants. Grocery stores. Museums. Even the opera down at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion that I only attended under protest to please my wife. Well, ex-wife. Damn.

Nikki was giving me a look of lust. I tried to ignore it as my blood pressure climbed."OK, battle stations. Pete, get on the phone and find him. I will go and brief Jerry. Nikki, could you and Alex start sifting the log files. Maybe we will be able to fix this quick. Janice, accounting is going to need soothing. Questions?" People were already in motion as Jerry came through the door."Anyone seen Paul this.
