"Come join me," she beckons us. "I think John might need a few minutes to let all sink in, don't you, John?" "Mhm," I nod a bit silly, while Celeste p...shes me in front of her on to the blanket. The wine should not taste this good. It's not cold enough for rosé, and the plastic cup. But this might be the best damn wine I have ever had. I lay down, propped up on my arms — the girls on either side of me. I thought I felt on top of the world last morning, but now, here, cmon this must be what. "What's wrong Chris?" Cassie laughed as she drew Sally into her arms and kissed her deeply, Mandy stood for a moment looking at me, a frown on her pretty face,"Yes Chris, what's wrong?" she said softly as she sat beside me,"Is it all too much too soon?"I nodded and tried to ignore my sister's hands sliding up beneath Sally's skirt,"No not really Mandy" I said and pulled her down onto my lap,"Cassie told me about the three of you and God knows I'd be hopelessly bent if I didn't find you. She said yes. I was on leave from after noon. She said see you in the evening and left the college. I was waiting when the college will be finished. As soon as last college bell rang I went in a hurry to home. I went and knocked the door and the door was opened. I was shocked to see the person who has opened the door. It was my dad who opened the door. I asked her dad how you can come so early. I never saw you at home at this time. He said today I got little free time so I came to spend some. She knew she was messed up, she shouldn't want these things. But when she was helpless and in pain, at least she felt something. Everything else was numb. Well, except for the hunger pains as another shot through her like a lightning bolt. She knew she needed to find something to eat, but it was mid afternoon, it would be hours before a charity soup van would be out. As she dragged herself to her feet, she despondently decided that Mark was the only option. She made her way down the small back.
