He was still laughing which took the heatoff of me....until I noticed his neck vein was showing out of hisneck,and he wasn't looking at me any more......so back into my "splitsecond" daydream I was about to finish off.I started following thisneck vein of his down to his brown,toned, muscled young shoulders.then his chest and abs and thanks to the golden light I could seeevery bit of muscle,tiny white hair,tendons and even the slightestvein which I followed down the V from the top of his hips all. When I left Sid's office after having been told I was finally going to go on a trip, I was as nervous as I was on my first date, I was sixteen years old at that time. That night when I got home, I told Cliff I would be leaving in the morning for four days. I could tell it made him very angry but he didn't say a word. The next morning I tried to kiss him good bye, but he turned away saying,"hope you have fun." I knew what he was referring to as fun.By nine thirty we were on our way to Chicago. It is you we are worried about; you've been asleep for 3 days now." What?" I had stopped moving and looked at mum. Suddenly she started to cry."I thought I had lost you, I have been so scared. The doctors did scans but could find nothing wrong." I was so relieved to know Melissa was ok, but I needed to see her first. What had happened that night had obviously scared her. But was it the attack or what happened to the boy. I looked at mum with confusion, trying to remember that night, to figure. " Do you want to go for a drink after work? Maybe I can cheer you up." Oh, I don't know," I said. This was the second time in the last couple of days that Joe had asked me out. He knew I was newly-married; why did he think I would take him up on his offer? Had I mentioned to him that Dave was overseas on business? I couldn't remember."Come on, it'll do you good," he persisted."Okay, why not?" I replied with a smile."Great! I'll meet you downstairs in the lobby about 5:15, okay?" Okay, I'll see.
