I know you mean that. But ... let's talk about happier things. What are you doing at the consulate?" Getting prepared for the new United Nations assig...ment. I don't know whether this is the right thing for me, but I'm going to find out. I'd be just as happy with a foreign assignment if it meant not having to deal with endless shuffling of paper. However, in my junior status, I can't expect too much too soon." I'm sure you'll be a great success. You said you spent time overseas during the war.. I even zoned out for a minute, but she quickly brought me back to the here and now. She said since she seemed to be boring me that I could show the new girl around. I really didn’t want to. I never liked showing new people around, but I wasn’t about to argue with her. So I walked out of her office and walked in the lobby and sitting on one of the white leather chairs was a woman dressed in a black skirt, black shirt, and long brown hair. I walked over and introduced myself. She stood up held. I wear my brown hair long, often in a ponytail, and like most girls of my age I spend too much time on my appearance.Samantha, two months my junior, looked like a boy. She’s about my height, 5’7. She had her black hair in a shapeless basin cut. A baggy brown hoodie, combat trousers and walking boots completed the look. I grabbed her duffle, noting her dad's name stenciled on the side, and led her to our room. She smiled her thanks wanly and I left her to settle in.We all had a light supper that. I slid behind her and kissed her neck as my arms circled her waist. My right index finger found her belly ring and I ran my finger around it."Morning lover." she said before turning around to kiss me on the lips.I saw the stack of waffles she had produced and my mouth began to water. I poured some coffee for both of us and heated the syrup in the microwave while the last waffle was cooking. We both ate heartily sitting side by side and stealing little touches all through breakfast. After we.
