Now for Dad and my brother that meant feeding the cattle and horses and other animals around the farm and ranch, and Mom to go take care of the chicke...s and feed them and gather the eggs in hopes of having way more than we needed and sell some to our guest later on in the day hopefully, and we sure needed the money right now.My chores were to go to the barn and get it totally cleaned out, and knowing all to well that meant it better be spic and span clean in there. And so off I went to do that. She then explained to me that the dude was very abusive; physically and emotionally. One day he gave her a brutal ass-beating and she woke up at Mass General with her eyes swollen shut, a bruised rib and a hernia; his blows to her midsection had burst her abdominal wall.She got out of the hospital that night, went to her girlfriend’s house, stayed there for a few days, then went home. He was lying there on the couch when she came in. He asked her where she’d been. She went into the bedroom, got.

Take down that ad, and my information.”“How many people have called?”“I can’t believe I ever told you about that,” I said mournfully.“Well you did, so deal with it.” The phone clicked and then the line went silent.I threw my phone down on the counter beside me, not caring if it got damaged. I. You have to understand, Celia never kisses me. Well, no, I suppose on birthdays and so on, I get a peck on the cheek, but these days she never KISSES me. In fact she never kissed like that, even in the beginning.She was softly feeling my lips with hers as if trying to memorise them. And then her little tongue started teasing, trying to get into my mouth. God, the few times I had tried that, she had spat me out. I woke up and started responding. "Mmmm. Be nice to that sweet tongue" I thought..
