Maria had been struck during the fight. Her mom wanted her out of the house, in case her dad came back drunk. She was afraid of what he might do to Ma...ia before the police could respond. I told them Maria could stay as long as she wished, but I got her mother’s phone number and called her. Her name was Delilah and she somewhat confirmed what the girls had told me. She apologized, but I assured her it was OK. In fact, I told her, if she would like, she could also stay at my place if she was. The picture revealed her and her late mother. The mother she had loved and given up everything but her own life to protect. Cloud didn’t regret her choices. Given the chance, she’d go through it again if it would mean saving her mother. How many years Cloud had lived with the abuse her stepfather had dealt out, she didn’t quite remember. But she did remember, clear as day, when this picture had been taken. It had been a day of both good and bad memories. Things she cherished in her heart. It. She had given her ass to her previous two boyfriends before Kyle, losing her hymen to her first boyfriend’s fingers. She knew what it felt like to get fucked, but she was understandably worried about her actual first time. She was surprised that she didn’t really give much thought to giving herself to Darren, she just didn’t feel comfortable enough with Kyle, not to mention that if she did give herself to him everyone would know that she had lost her virginity. The TV had been on for awhile. So I paid for my beer by telling Sandy how I came to have two wives. Of course, I gave him the edited version where I left out the vast amount of money that I picked up. It wouldn't take him long to find out that I was now rich, but I was going to let him find that out for himself.I had managed to nurse the beer until it was time for me to find my wives for supper. I headed for the hotel, but I did not expect to find them there. Oh, hell, maybe I would be pleasantly surprised. Nope, I.
