I've known them my entire life! And now I have to leave them just so the Rents can have a promotion. Where am I going to find anyone here who'll accep... me for me?I also don't want to leave my job at the library. I don't want to leave the library period! Grandma says there's one within biking distance to our new house but I know every inch of this one. I feel worse about leaving it than I do home! It's my refuge. It's been the one place I could go that I wouldn't have to put up with Shelly's. We also took turns modeling the specialty items for the endless stream of customers searching for that "nice little number" to set the mood for the evening.My appointment with the prospective tenant was at six PM and I wanted to get home early to freshen up a bit before meeting our potential savior with the funds to save our asses from bankruptcy.My name is Francesca. Until recently, I had been employed by a pharmaceutical firm in their customer service department. I had been let go. I was now allowed to turn and face the delicious array of stern women; each of them could summon the cream from my balls within sixty seconds.Blanche brought Myrna over to me; she swayed slightly making the black silk shimmer as she viewed me with utter contempt. Blanche smiled with satisfaction as she saw me swallow hard in awe of this naturally dominant woman who had shown me my place so thoroughly."Myrna here will officially become a member of our group today. Today of all days; which will. I was just borrowing my dad’s phone because it has your number in it. And actually, I was calling to talk to Emily, if I could.”I handed Emily the phone, “It’s for you, Em.”Emily took the phone, “Yes?”“Oh, yes, Dad mentioned you. Thank you so much for the invitation to your party this Saturday.”Pause.“Oh, my goodness. I’ll have to thank Daddy extra especially for the compliment. And, yes, I would love to ... dress? Um, I’m wearing a light green chiffon cocktail dress; I do hope it is.
