.." You gave her a backrub?" Kelley said through clenched teeth."Well, yeah, she was nervous about an exam the next day and..." Which day?" Kelley int...rrupted me again."Okay, let me explain what happened. You'll see that it was all quite innocent. It was a week ago tonight. Charlie and Debra had left for home that day and they had asked me to wait for Megan to finish her last exam on Friday. Megan called and said she was afraid to be alone in their house. I told her that she could stay with me,. I covered myself. Then when she came out of the trance, she gave me the cup and went awayShe finished her work and didn’t speak to me as usual, and she went away. I was sacred if she informs my grandfather and doesn’t come to work tomorrow. I thought about it a couple of times. I called her and apologized for what happenedMe: Nandini, where are you?Nandini: Bhai, I have come to another house for work.Me: Have you finished work? Why didn’t you inform me before leaving?Nandini: Sorry, I forgot to. She said again ‘Rakesh I like you but I have never done this before’.I still did not look at her. She sat beside me and took my right hand into her both hands pressed it and said ‘do you hear me?’ I looked at her and said ‘it is ok we won’t do it’ have a coke and go. She kissed me on the cheek and said ‘ok you can do it to me but you have to be gentle’. I looked at her and said I am going to eat you she laughed loudly and ‘said are you a tiger that shall eat a deer’.I said ‘yes’ and took her. "Thanks sweetie." I smiled. Abbie looked back at me and smiled warmly.She had a strand of hair stuck to her rosy red lips and I reached out andbrushed it aside before leaning in and kissing her."What was that for?" she chuckled as I leaned back."I just thought, what with all that's been going on lately... I reallywanted to say thank you for sticking with me. I know it's been a bit upand down, and I'm sorry that we haven't been able to conceive yet despiteall our efforts..." Abbie shushed me,.
