He returned their attention to the bear. He wanted to know how that made any sense. They all agreed that it didn’t make any sense. The two were i...compatible with each other, they were competing predators; one basically a loner and the other needing a pack. The pack stopped at the edge of the prairie and they all gathered around the big black and the bear. Then the bear did a completely unnatural thing: it put a front paw around the neck of the big black, as if to hug it. And then it. ‘Good afternoon, Miss Lawson,’ grinned Darrel, sneaking up behind me as I stood outside the classroom door. ‘Are you okay?’ he asked as I stood still in shock over slapping Jonathan. ‘I don’t think so.’ He pulled me aside and looked around to make sure no one was looking at us. ‘What happened?’ I brushed my hair behind my ear, trying to catch my breath. ‘I…I slapped Jonathan.’ ‘You slapped him? Why?’ ‘He said something that made me upset.’ I saw the expression on his face turn to defense. I looked over at Lilian and her eyes were transfixed on the T.V., I figured shed be entertained for awhile and decided to go shower. Lilian, Im heading upstairs, Im gonna take a shower. Are you gonna be okay down here for a little while? I asked her as I headed for the stairs. I should be fine big brother, I mean I AM twelve. She replied coyly. Alright then. I said with a laugh as I headed upstairs. As I shut the door to the bathroom, I took a deep sigh. I just need to relax. I said to myself. She was shocked to hear the message, but also delighted now she didn't have to have those two faces when in conversation with Alice, now the covers were gone and she could really say how she felt. She rang Rick, voicing her acceptance of his idea of a 'swingers do", her only question was when. He told her a date hadn't been set for he had to get companions for his wife, for he said it was unfair to expect her to 'ride' alone.His next call was to Blanche, whether she would fuck beside her step.
