Earlier I noticed an interesting pattern in there, and wonder if I should take advantage of it. I decide I will, because it’ll be good for her as we...l as me. We’ll both benefit in the short term, as well as in the long term. It’ll be very good for me, because it helps me develop skills to handle others now I’m developing more mature behaviours, and I now have to manage so many adults in the businesses. She’ll also make a good adult assistant to help me in that work. I think it’ll be much better. He pulls up beside her and rolls down the passenger window.“Need a lift?” Yes, it’s a cliché, but it’s an appropriate question.“Yeah, if you don’t mind. I’m heading into the city, the last guy I drove with didn’t get me quite as far as I needed.” She smiles at him, her face tanned like her legs. She has a small rucksack on her back.“Not a problem, I’m heading that way myself, hop in.” He pushes the door open and she climbs in.“Thanks! I really appreciate it. My name’s Cindy.”“Justin, nice to. All I am asking is to give this a chance. You are 16 in a few weeks and I respect that you are becoming a woman now, but please just give this a chance, for me, please Lucy!’I hugged my Mum hard, we were both crying by now and I just said, ‘OK’We dried our eyes and silently walked to our car. The truck pulled away, my Mum started the engine and I looked up at the only home I had ever known and I whispered my goodbye as we drove away for the final time.When we arrived at John’s house, I was. Dan had recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend and was looking for a place to have a few drinks. He wanted to stay away from the bar scene to risk running into her so I invited him over. One thing to mention about Dan is that when my wife and I were first dating and not very serious, he made a comment to me about how pretty he thought her feet were. It was a night after some drinks and it didn't really bother me at the time, but the more I thought about it the more it seemed he would.
