"Maxine I see you are back," she said as I caught up with her."Yes I finished my enforced vacation," I replied."Good for you, I'm glad to see you here..." she said."Thanks, I'm glad to see you still here and healthy looking. I guess some things never change," I said smiling."Now you know they will one day. I have been far too lucky, too long, I'm due for a run of bad luck." she said."Let's hope not," I said to contradict her."So, are you still doing your stretching exercises?" Dancer asked."I do. She was pretty and knew it. She was also a big flirt and knew she could play with men for attention. We had lots of time for flirting, since outside of the rush periods, the store was pretty quiet. I was not usually interested in girls like her – didn’t think she’d give me the time of day. And then after sex, what we would do? She certainly didn’t talk about anything I was interested in. Still, she was pretty, in a cute and all-American way. It was a week before Halloween and she told me about. Oh, shit." Much longer?" Yeah. Yeah, much longer."Alan turned and hoisted himself up on the washer next to Ellen. "So ... what do you do?" Oh, I couldn't..." Of course you could. No strings. Come on." I'm ... I'm not convinced I'm thinking straight." Why's that?" I can still ... put your hand on the top here. Still feel it?" Oh, yeah, that's quite..." Intense." Yeah." Oh. So Ellen, while you've been talking to me, you've been... distracted?" Not much." No?" No." God. So ... going to finish?". The sound of a car approaching the house signalled that grandad was arriving. Gina grabbed her bag and walked out the door as the car pulled up. Grandad’s car, a polished silver 2013 Ford Fusion, looked good, it was his pride and joy. Grandad stepped out the car and hugged his granddaughter tightly, she was his second pride and joy. Grandma had passed away during complication to Gina’s mother's birth and grandad had brought her up as a single father. He was great and took pride in his.
