” Elena said as she ran her fingers through my hair.I looked at my watch then said, “I’m surprisingly well considering I should have taken my pa...n reliever an hour ago. What’s up? How are you and Maxine?”“The day’s been long for all of us. We were both worried about you.” Elena said.It looked like Elena had a lot on her mind. And she also looked a little sad. I took her hand in mine and gave it a little kiss.With that Elena smiled and I said, “With you two in my life, and with the family yet to. Did you see us swimming together?”“I just came through the front door a minute ago. I saw Amber walking up the driveway, and heading for home. That swimsuit of hers leaves nothing to the imagination. Not that I blame her for wearing anything more on a hot day like today, and she certainly has the body for a two piece bikini. Very voluptuous, and probably quite firm. You should go and change before you leave a puddle on my good floor.”I wonder if Mom saw more than what she admits. Someone spins. We all pondered the future. Nikki returned with a fancy bag tied in a bow. "Cindy this appears to be for you. And there's a note from Felipe." Thanks so much Nikki." She took the bag and gave my sister a hug. "Can I open it and take a peek? I'm wondering what he created." Sure, but no looking Tim. You'll see that results when it's worn. And read the note Cindy."Cindy opened the bow and looked in the bag. "Oh there's some mistake. There are three items in here. I only ordered one like you told. What a wonderful gesture. She relaxed and smiled to herself. Everything seemed to be fine and she looked forward to telling Deedi her marvellous news.Sarah and Deedi travelled down to London on Friday evening. She'd seen a lot of Mike the previous week and missed him very much. Still at least the weekend with Deedi would take her mind off things. The main event would be shopping in Oxford Street on Saturday before going out to eat and then clubbing for the rest of the night. Their friendship.
