I felt the cold beads of sweat start to run down my back anticipating the humiliation. At least I was out there with the hottest girl in the room. ‘...ike this,’ she said, trying to encourage me. Lelanni’s body was made to move to this music. Mine wasn’t. It was easier said than done to get my body to move ‘like this’. While I tried to be a good pupil and a good sport, Lelanni saw I had all the dance prowess of Young Frankenstein moving to Puttin’ on the Ritz. My foot crashing down on hers once. He then blurted out that it was a sex book with rather crude pictures.Yvonne blushed noticeably when she heard this, and it was her turn to show embarrassment.Tony told Yvonne that he would hate it if Rob should find her with it - "what would he think!" he exclaimed - "he would get the wrong idea completely, and all because of a simple mix up."Tony then told Yvonne that if she could have a look and if the offending magazine was indeed there, if she could just bring it over and toss it onto his. “If you’re not going to help me, then at least stop teasing me.”“Teasing you is part of the fun, too,” he said.He left her alone in her bedroom so she could calm down. He hoped he was handling this the right way. She was uncharted territory, and he wasn’t sure just how to proceed. There were most definitely shoals in the water that could put holes in things and result in a wreck. He didn’t want that.He reflected on how he’d told her he wasn’t trying to seduce her. Had she confronted him about. Auden is my brother. Half-brother but still brother. And Duane is ... All these thoughts were racing through my brain as I stared dumbly at Auden, until his arms were around me and he was squeezing me so tight it nearly hurt. 12 years of not knowing this, of knowing what was not true, of hating Duane and myself. I wanted to be angry with my mother for not telling me before. All the endless volunteering, the homeless, the hospitals, the unwed mothers. She was just paying forward for what had.
