I'm sorry." I see ... I will have to think on this." Please do so. And when you do find a site that meets those requirements, we shall be happy to pro...ide you with a permit." Thank you." You're welcome, sir. Please come again."The clerk was having lunch at the City Hall lunchroom and was telling of this morning's client..."Would you believe it? He actually tried to pay me a bribe so that I would issue him the permit. You'd think we were in the Middle East, or something."Chuck Malone called out. The green-eyed monster began to rise and his behavior began to become irrational. This was for me a problem because we had a common thread, a relationship totally outside our competing personalities. Within this relationship, I was at a substantial disadvantage. I had not seen his sudden attack coming. Direct confronting and abusive, in public. In front of his significant others! I let him rant and rave. I made placating noises. He ranted further. I bided my time, I was effusive. I shrugged. Me: what umm actually I have to go some where today.Immi: you are not going any where until you tell me every thing.Me: what everything yes I masturbated that night soImmi: and the secrets you had kept from meMe: what secrets what do you knowImmi: don’t be so innocent I know what has been going around between you and Aron.I was scared that time from someone who was 5 years younger to me. I kept that secret and Aron wouldn’t tell that to him as well how he knew about our affairMe: what do you. The next day at work I had a different attitude. I had always looked away when Debbie, the cashier in the stockbrokerage office I worked for, had looked at me. I had known that look before, in my single days. It had been an invitation to something more. Not a cup of coffee more, a cup of nectar much sweeter than any coffee or wine. I had gone through years of this and had sworn that cup was put away forever. I had gone through years of meaningless relationships and copulations without.
