She was distraught and confessed everything to me." It's not like it sounds. Nothing really happened." I know exactly what happened. Why did you do it... I welcomed you into my home, made you feel a part of the community, and yet you turn around and insult me this way."I sighed in despair, unable to deny how I'd abused his hospitality."We were both drunk," I excused, realising how hollow my words sounded. "I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again." I know it won't happen. She actual pushed her tongue into my mouth! Thenshe turned and headed to the door as she spoke."You're my new best toyfriend Charlie. Thanks for the kiss." And she wasgone.My crotch was now damp. Did she say 'boyfriend' ?Later that week I saw Ginger and Thelma kissing, passionately in the backempty dining room. I hadn't ever considered that these two women whom Iknew so well now might be lesbians. It crashed my fantasies. I movedaround the corner to avoid their seeing me.Then I heard Thelma.

I don’t know why I reacted like that but it was something like “Good! I mean great! wait, one second? Are we still talking? We had. But more than anything else, it's been a matter of reexamining what I think this job should be and could be, versus what I'm sure the politicians would prefer it to be." Something along the lines of a Torquemada, perhaps?" I joked."See, I know you're kidding, but the sad thing is there is a large contingent of our elected officials that would just love for that to happen. And the truly frightening thing is, you would be perfect for what they have in mind." I'd never go along with what they.
