Maine idhar udhar dekha ki shayad ye kisi aur ke liye layi gayi ho. Par wahan koi aur nahin tha. Maine bahar jaakar kitchen mein kam kar rahi ladki se...poocha, “Ye mere kamre mein chai nashta kiska rakha hai?”Woh boli, “Babyji aapke liye hi hai. Aap ko kuch aur chahiye ho toh mujhe bata dijiye main banaa deti hu jane ke pehle.”Maine fir sir naa mein hila diya aur wapas kamre mein chali gayi. Fir bathrobe hata kar main chai nashta karte hue bahar ki garden mein chali gayi. Wahan ek jhoola tha.. These guys act like professionals but I can tell they’re just roughnecks under the collar. Do whatever you are comfortable doing, OK? I trust your judgment and I simply love your playful manner.” “Honestly,” I said as I reached around his neck grabbing and readjusting his collar, “I would thoroughly enjoy the teasing.” I said slowly running my fingers down the edge of his taught shirt, giving him another wink and patting my hand on his chest. I spun around like a little girl and started heading. She’ll be coming back any minute now just the way she left and she’ll be laughing at us all for being so easily sucked in.”Thirty minutes went by and still there was no sign of Riona Parkes returning to the group ‘the way she left’. Everyone at the table finished whatever it was that they had been eating but hardly said a word as they did so. Whatever they did say was of a very inane nature and not designed to spark up any new conversation on anything else other than some of the things they had. "I hope he can keep his mouth shut too. If anyone found out itwould be a scandal. You know Derek would be furious and make you work ina cheap east end knocking shop for a couple of months." Thank you so much," said mommy with relief. "I am going to meet him fordrinks after work and then I'll bring him home. I'm sorry we can't sleeptogether tonight and you know we can't do a lot of the things we like todo in private in front of him. I promise this won't happen often." That's OK," I said, trying.
