I get a tap on the shoulder "Hi it's Aiden right" it was Amanda from the office "Yeah let me get you a drink" I pulled her up a seat and got her a bot...le of cider, after an hour or so chatting we all laughing and joking you could see she was socially awkward but she was trying her best I asked did she and Tom fancy coming back to my place for a few more drinks and to watch the Euro 2016 matches and the both agreed. Back in mine Amanda and Tom were on the sofa me in the armchair facing we had. Evidently there were only a couple of homes on that lake and most of the property around was owned by those already there. She talked of her two older sisters and pointed out that they too were here, but at the U. of Iowa. The day went remarkably well, except for an hour where the two of them dove into my past and flipped through the two volumes of pictures of me and my family back in Michigan. We took a leisurely drive throughout the city showing her the sights, well what there was. Julia. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were here for a sore throat or something trivial like that."She just laughed quietly and smiled. "Or a sore pussy." Geez, keep your voice down. Besides, that's as much Ann's fault as mine." Well, yes, that's true. Anyway, what I really meant is, are you feeling any better?" About us, you mean?" Yeah, exactly." Sure, I feel better. I mean, you and I have pretty much run the gamut of relationship emotions this weekend, haven't we?" Are you happy with where. Once the massage was over we sat in the sauna. Jess looked great, the oily shimmer on her skin accentuated her slim figure. "Snap out of it." I halted my thoughts, I couldn't stop thinking of Jess in ways I never considered before.That night we had casual drinks by the pool. It was a beautiful night, the stars were out, not a cloud in site. Slowly the girls started to filter away into the hotel to call it a night, eventually leaving just Jess and me, sipping cocktails and chatting.We decided to.
