You might have led them to me. It may sound ridiculous, but my gut tells me you're better off with me than with Ros. If they were looking for you, Ros...would be in the way. No one knows her. There was no picture of her at Hurley's place. Follow?" If I was still a cop and someone spun that story to me, I'd scream BULLSHIT at the top of my voice. Now tell me, why am I with you?"I looked at her sitting in the right seat of the rental as we drove down the Tamiami Trail toward Naples. She was. So what are you going to do?’ she asked.I pulled over and stopped in a vacant block. It was out of sight but not private enough to fuck, but I was so desperate for it I had to have some.I’m going to lick you,’ I said. I’m going to lick every inch of you.’I turned to her pulling her into me my mouth finding hers and kissed deep deep down into her mouth, as hungry as mine … her lips so soft fucking me and her tongue sucking and licking down my throat.‘Baby,’ she said. ‘Show it to me. Show me your. Can you get that for Sara?’ Ben handed her a leaf. The large maple leaf was still green-tinged at the centre, fading through yellow to a burnt orange at its outer points. Written hastily in a dark brown ink across the patch of marigold was, ‘Sorry. Called away. See you soon? P.’ The keen pang of disappointment was a little unexpected. After all, they’d only talked for a matter of minutes yesterday, and yet she’d really been looking forward to coffee today. She would have blushed to admit how. I was 21 then and still a virgin. I was placed in a busy city which was far from my home city. I used to live alone but the business of the city soon took over and I started feeling lonely.One day as I was crossing the road I was hit by a bus which landed me in the hospital. When I awoke my mother was in front of me and told me I had been out for a month. Many of my relatives were there and there was a kind of morgue silence in there. I just thought "Cheer up everyone" and I didn't know then.
