Thankfully, my dates hadn't arrived, so I could conduct my little bit of business with Vanessa in private. While I waited, I noticed a couple women in...the bar area giving me the once-over with their eyes. The suit was doing its magic, I thought, as I smiled at them. Vanessa arrived at 6:30 sharp, and not a moment too soon. The two women sent drinks over to me and I needed to show them that I wasn't available. As Vanessa approached the bar, I stood and gave her a big kiss. "What the fuck was. "Thanks, you know I worry," I told them. They both kissed me and went to get dressed for the day. I went to check on the stock. As I walked outside, Joey asked me, "Where are you headed, Mike?" I am going to check on the stock. Would you and Billie like to come along?" I asked. "I would, I love to ride," Joey answered. Billie said, "I have some work to do today anyway, you two have fun." As we were saddling up, I said, "Billie doesn't really like riding much. Sally likes to ride, but she is. She went back into her bedroom to consider what to do next. She knew that she could get Des back now. She could also change the children back if they were all telling the truth.* * * * * * * * * * * *While all of this was going on 'Jack' had been talking to 'Ginny'."Look Ginny" the new Jack said, "you can see how moms been with Penelope - I think she's a little stressed out right now. If you keep telling her you are Jack then she will blow. If she does find a way to change us back then she. Where the hell are you? Early night you said ... yeah right, same old story, heard it all before. In the meantime, I'm here, alone, again. I look across at the cold food on the table, wasted, again. Yet another ruined romantic dinner for two.I sigh, pour myself another glass of wine and take a large swallow. Sod the mess, I am not clearing up tonight, I am too pissed off, it can wait till morning.I walk into the bedroom and kick off my heels, oh that feels better. Bastard heels! I only wear.
