There, at a small baker's shop, we bought cheese rolls and sat by a pond in a park to eat them. My watch said 2:05 and we'd done fifty miles. I'd plan...ed on about 60 miles per day so we were well up on schedule and could afford a rest. "What made you decide to come Tombie?" I asked when we'd eaten."Wanted to get away from Dad. Since Mum left, I don't feel safe around him and I don't think it would be too long before he found his way into my bed. I might be able to deal with him out in the open. He watched as the laptop logged in, pleased to see his small array of security programs hum into life. His first port of call was ‘My pictures’ and to his surprise, it wasn’t full of photos of herself as he half expected, maybe half hoped, in that pink gown of hers..He shook his head. She had probably just deleted them. He closed the folder and glanced about the desktop, the recycling bin had the telltale sign of having items in it and he found himself rolling his eyes. Of course. Where else.He. I took a quick sniff of my armpit and said, "Yea bro, before it's getting too stinky in here. I'm really smelly as well" Without me even noticing, he approached me, put one hand on my chest and with the other raised my arm and took a deep sniff of my armpit. "Ahhh… Man scent," he sighed and backed off. That was so confusing. I sat on a bench and bent down to untie my sport shoes, as Rob entered the room, shirtless. Rob is another guy in our team. He is the most pumped member of us all. He. “Yes this is he”“Chris, hey it’s Tiffany, Roz’s friend, we met at the restaurant”. Crap I thought “Hey Tiffany, how are you”“I’m good; I was calling to see when you could come by and see about that deck”“Uh well when is good for you” I said “Actually I don’t have anything going on now, could you come over”I thought I should say no and avoid her all together but thinking it through I realized I would eventually run into her again. “Sure no problem” “Fantastic, ill text you the address” she said.
