The boys were ecstatic to have Nancy around all the time. At first she held back, but gradually their precociousness lifted her spirits and buoyed her...heart. Dave called the Pagoda a few days later thanking Bobby for watching out for Nancy. Bobby told him that Dwa'an ended up back in jail for possession with intent to sell, and a few teeth missing. He violated his parole, so he wouldn't be out for a long, long time. Bobby asked Dave to tell Nancy he wished her well, and her job at the club. Finally I had to say something I only did it for a laugh your not going to tell Paul are you. Well I suppose it can be our little secret if you want it to be, I thought thank god, but how do I keep such a thing from a mate, but before I thought about it I said please don’t tell him I’ll do anything, oops what have I said, he smiled and said can I see you in what you have on in the pics. My heart started to pound, I said ok I grabbed the washing off the table and said I’ll be right back.I went. He could already picture himself and Ted in the morning comparing notes about their respective wives.After a while his heart calmed down and Paul turned to face his sleeping partner. With one finger he started caressing her lightly, drawing small circles on her temple, then her forehead. He crept lower to her eyebrows, then to her cheeks. He thought he could hear her breath quickening. He was not sure but he hoped she would wake into a half-sleep where she could enjoy what he was doing to her. I wasn’t not sure about hers but mine were to head me into the MBA program into which I had been accepted. My parents were supportive of my schooling though missed me being home for the summer. My younger brother and sister were both there and I missed time with them, too.I allowed Christine to have as much of my time as she wanted. I took her to eat, to plays and concerts at college, and for walks in the parks around town. My monetary status didn’t allow any grand expenditures. I knew I.
