Sadly I didn’t stay to watch the ending as I ran to my room, cleaned myself up and went to bed happily.When I woke up the next morning, I found a no...e from her saying that she had gone out for the whole day and won’t be back until late. This gave me the perfect opportunity to look through her room and I found the two cucumbers that she used last night. Mmmmmmmmm never did a pair of cucumbers smell so good.She returned at around 11pm with two of her friends and I was in my room, trying to go to. Aunt Kara has pink lips right now.”“Can I have makeup?”The entire table erupted into laughter.“Day two and you already have a convert!” Veronica laughed.“That’s up to your mom,” I said, chuckling.Elyse shot me a look that was a mix of mirth and daggers.“Matthew, if your mom says ‘yes’, I could help you,” Abbie said.“I can see I’m being ganged-up on!” Elyse said. “Matthew, you can try it on, but you have to wash your face before bed.”“Goody!” he grinned.“We do have to get pictures!” I. Oh, why would I need a pulley?"I put the pulley back and thought to myself. "How strange that someone would buy a clothes line without a pulley, but she's from Uptown and maybe they don't use pulleys."Something didn't quite fit, she had a very good dryer, so I just couldn't figure why she would need a clothes line, but I was starting to tire from the walk and the partying the night before.I just felt like taking a little knap. We got back to her apartment and we had a few glasses of wine while. Before we got to the restaurant I had to reapply my lipstick as it was all over Mark’s face. It was a lovely little place. The side we were on was quiet, although laughter drifted from the area on the other side of the bar. Small tables were scattered about the room. With delight we occupied a small two person table near to the dancing flames of the large fireplace that filled most of the front wall. ‘This is perfect,’ I smiled as I sat down, Mark pushing the chair forward that he had held for.
