Maybe a little makeup can't hurt. Some lipstick, a little blush, eyeliner and mascara and damn, I look hot. I looked at the bottom of the sink and pul...ed off the note on pink paper. All itsaid was, "Meet me in the park."I walked down the street to the park and you would not believe the looks I got, all the whistles, and turned heads and you know what, I enjoyed it. I never felt so great. Then I saw Alan waiting for me on a bench where I sat down next to him. "You were right, I do like this and. "The sex... I wish it had been better."Neil blinked. "What do you mean?" Like... worth it. It was kinda..." Stephanie trailed off, staring across the lake.Neil waited as long as he could before his inner smartass re-emerged. "Kinda what? Quick? Cold?

I needed love and protection.It was then that I was suddenly aware of two people approaching me. Looking up I saw a kind looking man and woman of perhaps thirty. The both looked pale as if they had been in shock. They knelt down besides me and asked if I was okay. I felt comforted by their presence and slowly nodded.Don't ask me why but I went home with them that.
