All freshers were after the beautiful one. Her name is Vrinda and she was hot. Fair, short startured, voluptious. Breast sizes to die for. And she lov...d to dress up, make up, lipstick and the full works. One day in colourful tight churidar, next day in half saree exposing her sexy midriff. Ufff. Everyday coming to the office just to see her hot self, talk and have coffee and some touch here and there.She was very close to me. We used to watch training videos in a dark room and the touchings. "I have the bottle of wine Wadsworth instructed me to bring, Mum. And Jack, the groom is here. He says he has a message for you, Mum." Thank you, Jane," said Penelope, as if she were merely sitting in a chair, fully clothed, stitching or some such thing. "Put the wine on the table there, and tell the groom to wait in the anteroom. You need not wait with him. He will not disturb us. I'll get to him bye and bye." Mum," said Jane, ducking her head. The door closed.It was quiet for perhaps a. But when I replayed events later, I also realized that Claire’s gentle assertiveness also excited me. It played to a part of my personality that was at the core of my acceptance of this whole situation.And for the first time in a long time, I saw a look of kindness on Jason’s face as his fingers intertwined with Claire’s and he looked at me, “Thanks, Neil, man. I promise you it will all be alright and that I’ll take good care of Claire. I’ll make sure she gets home okay tomorrow.”My instincts. Mary and I'll wait on the porch." With that, Ali shooed Mary from the room and followed her out, closing the door behind her.Still wondering what the hell had just transpired, I donned a new western-style blue shirt with ivory-covered snaps, pulled on my new skin-tight jeans and slipped into my shiny new high-heeled boots. Catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror, the term 'drugstore cowboy' came to mind, But this is what Ali had said would fit in at the club, so I slipped the bolo tie over.
