’ She replies. Ashley and I settle down to watch one of the complementary DVD’s supplied by the motel staff. We watch the movie ‘Sum of all Fea...s’ starring Ben Afleck and by midnight, the movie ends. ‘I’m so tired.’ Ashley says. ‘Me too, but you had a long flight this morning.’ I respond. Ashley excuses herself to the bathroom grabbing one of her smaller bags as she walks past me. A few minutes later, Ashley emerges from the bathroom wearing her nightwear. A pair of form fitting pajama pants. “That’s surprising,” she said as we pulled up in front of my house.“Yeah, I thought I deserved an A,” I said.“After listening to you, I think you should have failed,” she spat. I was floored.We walked through the house and I went into my bedroom to find Glenn. He wasn’t there. I was torn at that moment. Half of me was afraid and the other half was angry. On one hand, I was worried that something might have happened to him. And on the other, I was angry that he had gone somewhere without telling. ”I snorted, “He knows who is behind it.”He smiled, “We believe so. The emperor is not convinced but has engaged us to protect the rest of his children.”I looked at him as I stopped by the guard into the estate, “And you have orders for after the emperor dies just incase his son acts openly.”He looked at me carefully, “Perhaps.”I nodded, “In any case that is the emperor’s problem and yours and in the future. Do not use your vanishing act around the empress. I will attend her and know if you are. I rolled onto my side so I was facing his back and reached over him to switch off the light."I'm sorry Janine but I can't do it, I mean your beautiful and everything but I'm not gay, I don't think I'm even bi-curious, I thought if I acted butch I'd be able to do it but I couldn't do it with a girl." Her vice trailed away to nothing, then a little sob.My heart was hammering in my head, she wasn't a he? My thoughts went back to the girl in the club, she'd thought I was a girl and had hurried away.
