She asked me which ones do I like. Seems like before she even finished I said “the pink and seafoam”. She grabbed both and went to pay for them. A...ter we left the store we went to a nice restaurant around the corner. We got a corner booth. We ordered salads and a bottle of Blush wine. As we sat waiting for our food, I asked again what the occasion was. She laughed and said I will tell you later. We ate, drank and had a very nice chat as we always do. I went to pay for the check but she stopped. Was I wrong. There stood Mel. Right at the fridge, getting herself some water. My dry mouth kicked into over-drive, and my nerves jumped right into action. She was wearing that damn robe, and I was only wearing my boxer briefs. “Hey-well, hello!” she said as she turned to look at me. “Uh, hey.” I said as I tried to quickly grab my glass, and get out of there. “Awfully bold of you, isn't it?” “What?” I asked knowing what she meant. “You know.” she said as she took a sip from her glass, running. She told him she would do something daring and exciting, but she wouldn’t tell him what.Luke doesn’t see her car in the parking lot, so he heads into the store. He goes straight to the book and magazine aisle and picks up a random issue. “This sucks...” he sighs softly. Glancing over, he spots someone walking by. His eyes go right to her ass. It sticks out just perfectly, her jeans allowing anyone to take notice of just how perfect it is. A little white tank top that she is wearing has slid up. More. But it was so much more it was almost completely different. Elaine felt like she'd arrived on another planet. A place with different rules. A place that was exciting and dangerous. Ominous. Looking up at Gary, there was still softness there. She could see it in the deep brown eyes that were staring back at her. Strangely, in spite of the passionate storm she sensed was brewing, Elaine felt safe with him. He would look after her. She had a feeling he always would. Again they were.
