"He's been feverish since Tuesday tea-time," Hope explained, taking his coat. Richard took a moment to stare at them both, seeing the worn expressions...on their faces. The room itself was darkened by drawn curtains and smelt heavily of sweat and the vague hints of sickness and antiseptic."Have you guys called a doctor?" Yes!" Shawna snapped, and he backed up a step in the face of her anger."Look, Shawna. I keep saying things that upset you, right, but that's not what I'm here for. I promise. "Looks like you win, Jennifer." Told you so!" We made a bet," Pam explained. "Jennifer bet me you'd be fucking one of the twins before we made it back home. You owe her a hundred dollars. And you have to cook supper tonight." What?" I spluttered. "You lost the bet. Why do I have to pay?"The twins had rolled apart and were watching the exchange. Both started giggling.Pam gave me a wry grin. "You did the fucking." Damned female logic!"Girls!" Jenn called. "If you're, um, finished, come help me. Am I saying? Wait... Dr. Dolly is not present. Who are you? What's going on?" Gahaha! It worked, it worked!" The figure in front of her rubbed his hands and cackled in a dramatic laugh, then held a flashlight up in front of his own face, giving it a spooky low light source. She could now identify his balding head with great grey bat-like hair around the edges of the crown, along with his hooked nose and equally great grey mustache. Below that mustache, his teeth were clenched above his cleft. I dunno if she meant to be teasing me, but she was playing up to Jim too, and flirting back to him, and letting us see her pattering up the loft ladder in bare feet, and loudly giggling at his suggestive, dirty remarks to her, in front of me and Mandy. When I brought Jim and Jayde some coffee in the study, Jim was sat working at the computer, showing her things on it, etc. She was knelt down by him, resting her arms up on the desk. Of course, Jim had a good eyeful of her firm cleavage in that.
