I was catching up with the overnight sports scores on the TV and when it went to an ad break, I went to the kitchen for a snack.Thinking the guys migh... be here most of the day I had laid in a supply of bread rolls, cold meats and salad stuff.I began to make a snack and thought the girls might want something to eat as well so I wandered upstairs to ask.My bare feet made no sound as I walked to the bedroom door and I could hear voices but Charl-e's voice sounded muffled and hollow. She must be in. Well Martha was tired too - tired of being ignored.Martha knew that it had nothing to do with her looks. She still turned heads and got hit on quite a lot and not just by Doug's buddies. She wondered how long they would stay buddies if Doug knew how many of them had tried to fuck her. No, there were plenty of other men who wanted her. There were a good half dozen or so where she worked who had let her know they were interested. Several times she had stopped after work to socialize with the. Getting ready for a couple of business meetings and a lunch, it was time to shower, shave and get dressed. I stepped into the shower and did my thing. With the water flowing and the exhaust fan making noise, I couldn't hear a thing.Next thing I knew, Linda was in the bathroom - as I was still showering. I heard a voice, pulled the curtain open a bit, and there she stood. Clothes and face had flour and icing on them."Hi. I came to get my plate. I rang the doorbell, but no one answered. I thought. If you pray, that wouldn't hurt."She was almost on us, her gaze focused on the doctors and nurses and on Wallinsky's back when she saw me and Simon. She froze, like the proverbial deer in the headlights. I wondered how she could have gotten here so quickly, unless she was visiting or had changed her place of work from San Francisco to New York.She wore jeans and a blouse, open a few buttons from the top and showing a little bit of tummy. It was 30 years too young for her, but she made it work.
