"I mean, isn't it obvious," I said. "The fat jokes, the vagina jokes, theway you mock me and cut me down every chance you get." That's just stupid sib...ing stuff," she said. "I never mean anything byit. And besides, it never seemed to bug you before." Oh, it always did," I said, "but I guess maybe now I'm just growing -save your fat joke - and I don't want our relationship to be like this. Iknow we'll always be brother and sister, but I want us to be friendstoo."Again, I braced myself for the. I'm just asking a question." I'm leaving." Lia bounced off the couch. "This isn't why I'm here." Wait, Lia. Don't go." I got up and caught her arm. "I'm sorry. Please, stay." All right. I mean it, though. I don't want to get into some big talk session. Let's just hang out and have fun, okay?" She gave me a heated look. "Like we used to." Like this?" I pulled her into a deep kiss and swept my hands over her body."Yeah, like that."I slid my hands under the thin t-shirt she'd put on and squeezed. My wife gets up to go to work around 5 am. She lets Oliver out, then takes her morning shower. I get up most days while she is showering (I am retired due to medical issues so I don't work). I put on a robe and let Oliver in, I check his food and water. My wife gets dressed and leaves for work. I go into the bedroom to start my morning. Most days Oliver takes this as his queue.He comes in and waits for my robe to come off. There are small scratches on my side from his claws. I don't mind them,. She had Julie and Mona go find a security guard and bring him back.What could a security guard do?I thought they would just manage the crowd. It had gotten big and was starting to get in the way, but they were the ones who saved you. One of them brought back an automated heart resuscitation machine. He hooked you up and the machine restarted your heart. It was probably stilled for less than five minutes.It looks like I owe my life to the quick thinking of you women and the security.
