I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew it wasn’t good. Michelle left and my heart started racing. “Go out to the car and get my cane, Baby...irl.” I knew better than to argue. I went to Daddy’s car and retrieved his bamboo cane from the back seat. When I reentered the gym, I handed it to him. “I am not happy with you, my Slut,” he said. “You made a commitment to me and to yourself to work out and now I hear that you are barely trying? You’re going to do your workout again and if I see you. Now, it's going to be hard on both of you."Really the final note: You don't have to worry about Erica or Alexandra wanting what Theresa wants. They've got exactly what they want. You won't have any problems with the remaining women on this front, either."

Take my word for it, I'm more of a Garibaldi than an Oracle."With that last cryptic comment, the voice fell silent. "That. "Zoe - you, me and Oliver are going to make up a nice little dinner-party for three. Soon. And you and I will share the cooking. So, my dear... your place or mine?"Nothing important is ever said in the first half of a dinner-party.

So Oliver was much at his ease,. "I couldn't believe what I had just heard. "You are going to do what?" I am going to have sex with Dave tonight. This is the payback for the night you spent with Vicki."I was speechless. I sat down on the bed as Susan went into the bathroom to dress. I don't know how long she was gone but I was still sitting on the bed when she came back into the room. Susan was wearing a black skirt and black blouse which buttoned all the way down the front. I wasn't sure if I had never seen this outfit on her.
