From the very next day, she used to wait for me and then we walked together and spoke about our families and whereabouts. She lived in a two bedroom a...artment and so did me but in different buildings. Our friendship had been made and we used to talk with each other for long period of time each day.One day she spoke, “ Shekhar, you are older to me, yet you have a softer and smoother skin”. I stated, “ Suvarna, I have not compared, but I take an oil bath each day after massaging myself with oil. Think they got nicked?" Probably." I went into the darkroom and turned on the light. It was also in complete disarray. My expensive enlarger was tipped over on it its side, and I felt a stab of fresh anger. It didn't take long to figure out that the negatives of Claire Ingleford had also been stolen."I guess a thief sees a stack of topless pictures, he's gonna grab them," said Larry. "Human nature." Makes sense," I agreed. I didn't mention that the negatives were also missing, which made less. “I don’t know,” he said, in that shy, soft voice. “I think it’s just guys. I only ever look at gay porn, and I only fantasize about men when I play with myself.” He rubbed my arm. “I think about you a lot.” Well, that was hugely flattering. I’m okay-looking, but at 46 not as trim as I once was, and with my short hair turning grey, this was a great compliment. Charlie was pretty cute himself; grey eyes, a small, squidgy nose, mop-like black hair, a small mouth, and square-ish glasses to round. I did a lot of our business with the US mail. Forcing us to also worry about the federal charges, if I got caught importing the seeds without a license. I had read how few arrests there were for that kind of thing, so I wasn’t too worried. Everything involved in the weed business was a calculated risk.I left the courier planning up to Gerome. He knew the housewives from the gym and he also knew the weed business. He could mesh them. Lucinda and I would be there to give him all the information.
