Beyond the lobby lay a huge courtyard with a row of fountains running down each side. The left side of the courtyard contained an outdoor restaurant, ...he right side contained an outdoor bar. Troy had been coming here every other week for a number of years to have lunch, enjoy the live music, and appreciate the beauty of the resort.There was just one thing off about the resort. No one else was there. No one behind the desks, no one in the lobby, no one anywhere. It appeared to be just him and. “Tomorrow we go to Peabody’s and sign our yearly taxes.”“Can’t you sign for me?

Why couldn’t you have told me that years ago?”“You didn’t ask and I didn’t know you years. We partied every alternate weekend and drove back to hometown on the remaining weekends. Life was beautiful.

I believed him because we were like friends and he had no reasons to lie to me.My cousin had his birthday coming up and like all women, Kriti wanted to give him a surprise party. We decided to do it one of my friends’. ”“It’s Mae, Sugar,” she said with a faint southern accent. “Everyone else is gone. Why don’t you be sure to lock the front door, then come on back here to escort me to my car.”“Where are you?” he asked. Her big sexy voice was really what got him hot. Mae was a big black woman with a big ass, big tits, a big smile and a big laugh. She was always throwing little sexual innuendoes in as she made small talk, but nothing had ever come of it. Bill.
