"What're we having, Nikki?" Val asked.Jeff felt embarrassed. "Sue Ellen made crepes. I... I sort of helped." And she was a big help," Sue Ellen said, ...ringing in the containers offruit, each with its own spoon. "Thanks, girl." Th-thanks you letting me," Jeff answered shyly; she actually feltgrateful for the chance.***"Those're great looking slacks," Val said. "Can I borrow them?"Jeff looked down at the powder blue capri pants -- and how had sheknown what they were? -- that Nikki had packed for. I went inside the store which was almost empty. That made me feel slightly better. I don’t think I could have handled a crowd. I asked the clerk if I could please use their phone. I explained I had no money to use the payphone outside. He was kind enough to let me make a quick phone call as long as he dialed the number to ensure it wasn’t long distance.Luckily my dad had taught me to memorize phone numbers in case of moments like these. I had recited Wendy’s cell phone number over and over. "Frightened that I'd bump into him or that he would seek me out." Oh, my sweet!" Mark's voice was tender and concerned.Victoria gave him one of her smiles but this was enhanced by love. "My champion saw him off though." Huh!" exclaimed Mark. "It was your champion (He said the word in disgust) who landed you with the problem in the first place." Nonsense. It was my impatience and getting my priorities wrong. I knew how I felt about you and I was pretty sure you were getting keen on me. The fact. I then smoothly transitioned my left hand out from underneath her to get my left arm around the middle of her petite, sexy body. I now had my arm wrapped around her firm abdomen (she did crunches all the time these days!), and my right hand on her inner thigh, with her now sitting on my knee as I balanced on one foot.This all happened within seconds, but I had transitioned it so well, and luckily she was responsive enough to let what was happening happen. She didn't say anything, or notify me.
