My boss was rearranging some sales territories and wanted me to move to North Carolina. This was an opportunity I gladly accepted. I continued my norm...l “rounds” but told my customers of the pending changes in my life.Carla packed up the two girls a couple of weeks later and we went home to my parents for a long weekend to look for suitable and affordable housing. As luck would have it, we found a nice house just a few miles from my folks. We could move into the area of my parents and I would. "There," he said, "You are beginning to look like a real slave now," he laughed. Gagged I couldn't reply but I could feel myself becoming aroused. "Matty had better have a picture of you like this."

Like before." It's all past. We were young and stupid. I was stupid. We won't go there again." We will." She was almost childish, looking down, playing with her spoon."Lucy..." I said, reaching for her hand, "I promise." She didn't utter a word."Do you think you'd still like my roast-beef?" Roast-beef, easy to make, lasts for days in the refrigerator. Great food for bachelors that insist in cooking.
