"I will, but only if you're good to Toby. Look after him, he's amate, my best mate. Don't hurt him." Tim! I'm fine, never better. Now go."He looked ba...k once, from the weed ravaged driveway. I waved, still naked,though I had tied my hair back into a luxurious pony tail with a bright,polka-dotted hair band. Tim waved back, then ran, pushing at the lowbranches. I knew he'd return.A dab of sweet perfume behind each ear, more on my wrists. I bound mybreasts with a cream bra she'd left draped over. If only Steven were here, her heart grunted. Her husband of two years was off orbit, thanks to his profession as a space and aircraft engineer. He could only be expected to be Earth-based after two weeks. She missed him. And she was damned because she was horny at the first thought of him. She shrugged. The red heels she wore were killing her feet so she took them off. She was heading the stairs when she heard the shower running. Her heart leapt. She realized her bedroom door was left ajar. She. A small tuft of hair escaped the inner leg of her shorts along with a portion of plump labia. She rarely shaved down there, and I wondered how many others would be blessed with the same view before summer's end.I had made her a few crop tops from some of her worn out T-shirts. The colors had been bleached to pale grays and whites from years of her daily runs, and many of the seams had opened into ragged holes, so she refused to wear them any longer in public. Now they were cool and comfortable. "Bunny DeBargeis OK," she thought to herself, "but Mary J. did a much better job singing 'ADream' if you ask me."She was brought out of her thought by the sound of a car pulling into thedriveway. "There goes Mom," she thought to herself. "I hope she brought somefood in.I'm starving after today!"She peeked her head out the door and screamed to her sister, "hey sis! Herecomes Mom! I bet she has some food." OK! Be right down!"Marilyn then ran on down the stairs, then went to the front door to open.
