She was barefoot. Her dark hair hung far down her back. I think she probably could have sat on it. She was only about five feet tall, barely that, but...all muscle."'Arley," she said, with London or Bristol still on her tongue, "what'cha need? Y'wife's a'sleeping. Been at the jug, she 'as." This here ugly feller's my fren," the smith said, waving at me. "I want y'to be nice to him, swive him up one side and down t'other if he needs it. Says he does."She smiled at me and looked back at Harley.. Someone who could be rough and convincing but not go overboard. Jion was tall enough. He had a nice muscular body. Having sex in a public would be nice, but at work would be too risky. Nina wanted him somewhere else she's not going to risk her job for a trick. Nina started asking personal questions. They talked about sex how he like it, she told him how she liked it. She tried to see where his head was at. So afterward there won't be any feelings, or it won't get awkward. She didn't really know. Finally we were finished shopping. Mom said, "I'm sorry we didn't haveany more time, but next time we will also visit the beauty shop, andwe'll get your nails and hair done."I thought to myself, 'I don't think I needed to hear that.' During thedrive home I counted in my mind the costs of all the things we had justbought. The amount was staggering. How could we afford all that? I mean,Dad wasn't around any more to bring home the money and I didn't think Momhad that kind of money stashed. Natural too. He could see why Susan was keeping this one secret. “Well, it’s just that I left my jacket here last night. Leather jacket?” Carrie started to put things together. She knew her mother had stayed out all night last Friday. It was not that unusual for her to hook up at the club but normally she dished all the gossip about any new men. Especially if the sex was good. They were like best friends. So if this was the same guy, and he dropped by yesterday too, then she was.
