Though I was no officer and had nothing to do with the space programme I had some idea the problems trying to keep a genie in a bottle could pose for ... serving astronaut trying to show he wasn,t crazy. Often I fantasied it was me who found that ancient bottle in the sand on that beach and who unsuspecting lay rubs the bottle and Jeannie comes out to thank him for releasing her from her prison. “Thank you so much for releasing me from my prison, Master.” the beautiful Barbara as Jeannie would. It was more than double what I made at the hospital. My expenses were also very few. Liz paid for almost everything – not because she was the only one with money but because we lived at a place she had already purchased and we usually only went places that dealt with her profession. I had a few bills of my own but they were less than a grand a month. I knew my bank account would be back to a respectable balance in a few days when my bi-weekly check from LLE was automatically deposited. Until. She poured liquid gold into them from the nearly full bottle and ordered Sophie to drink. "I'll brew some coffee. Decaf?" Uhm, regular if you don't mind." Not a problem. I'll brew some up. It's just a little late in the day." You don't have to bother." Yes I do," Melissa smiled and dashed away.A couple minutes later, Melissa returned and sat on an overstuffed chair, matching the sofa only in its age. Smiling at Sophie sipping the Armagnac, she took a sip as well. "Nice, isn't it?" Yes. Where's. She again raised her voice and asked me?I just went near her, caught her waist, and pulled her close to me. Then with one hand, I caught her hair and pulled her face towards mine, and kissed her beautiful sweet lips.I don’t know how I did that and from where I got this much courage but I did it. She was shocked and did not know what to do. Then she tried pushing me away. But my grip was so strong, that she was not able to do anything with her small hands. After some time, I moved my left hand.
