I was mum for a moment and asked when is her husband coming she told he is out of town for next 3 days. I was very happy to hear this and without wast...ng much time i went to her flat and door was still open. she started the conversation again n we discussed about my job n her family related matters and it seemed that she was not having good time with her husband and I could see drops of tears from her eyes I went close to him n started consoling her by putting my hand on her shoulders then her. ”Something told me that Tom hadn’t told us everything though, and I asked him for the rest of the story that evening as we were preparing for bed.Tom sighed and said, “When we make that trip to El Paso for the new wagon in a couple of days, I’m going to tell my father I’m leaving him to run the store completely on his own, so I can move to a new job outside Las Cruces. And, oh yeah, by the way, I’m in love with a Hispano lady, with Indian blood, who I love more than life itself.” He gave a deep. I wanted to gobble her fingers, lick her hands and hug her tight. But it was too dangerous. I could not afford to hurt her reputation. I stopped with that kiss. She had turned crimson with the blood flushing her face. She did not look into my eyes, but I knew that our desire for each other was no longer a mystery. We were just waiting for the right time. And the right time did come.One Friday she called my residence (mobile network was not that omnipresent), she told me that she would be going. Oh, what a beauty she was, he thought as she entered the room. He couldnt take his eyes off her as she stood there by the door with her lovely green dress and her hair flowing down her shoulders, framing the young womans adorable face.“Come in Scarlet dear, have a seat.” he said and put his glass on the table next to him.She headed for the empty chair on the opposite side of him, but he had other plans.“Sit on my lap dear” he said and motioned for her to come over to him.She lliftet her dress.
