‘Thank you my handsome prince.’ She giggles as his lips tickle her hand. They both laugh and pull each other into a loving embrace. ‘Michael, e...erything looks and smells terrific. How did you do all of this by yourself?’ She immediately regrets her words, hoping he doesn’t think she meant he couldn’t do it alone. He just smiles and runs his fingers lightly over her shoulders and neck, ‘I have many, many hidden talents.’ She smiles back, believing every word. They sit down together on the sofa,. Trying to be as quiet as possible, Ed started to climb over the rocks, searching for John. He had progressed over most of the rocks when a shot rang out, and a bullet bounced off a rock near his head. Ed dropped to a prone position and thought, "Thank God, the damn fool tried fer a head shot, instead of my chest."

I spewed beer quite a ways from my mouth afore I could git myself under control. Chad laughed as he helped me clean up, but I didn't think that it was one damned bit funny!

I managed ta git dressed an' stumble down ta breakfast. I had ta drink three cups of coffee afore I felt human again. Shit, I never wanted ta look at beer again!When we finished.

"You'll need yours also."The waitress brought a bowl of fresh strawberries and whipped cream to the table. She said "I hope you like strawberries, " She reached out and picked up a berry, dipped it in the cream, and slowly raised it to her lips, sinking her.
