22 pistol. There wasn't much standing around while we waited for the mud to dry, we all had the usual chores of a working ranch to do. I simply took o...er the jobs that Elias had done before he broke his leg.Finally, the mud bricks were dry and we were able to finish the construction work. Neither of the siblings had ever heard of using both hands to steady a pistol while one was shooting, but it did not take long for them to realize how much more sure their aim was doing it that way.. I took it out so I could do something. Wait. What took you so long? I made dinner and everything. Mom and dad went to their swinger’s thing again and would be gone for at least tonight so I was hoping we could bond. Where were you?" the obvious attempt of changing the topic was his last ditch attempt to distract me. It was cute. And a sudden thought occurred to me. I ignored his questions and stood up. I walked slowly to my own bathroom, undressing as I went. I knew he was still looking at me.. He stepped closer to me and began hassling me again in advance of the corner kick.I let him push me around a little. I wanted him over-confident, but I knew what he was planning. As Luke launched the ball, Anders whirled, throwing his elbow toward the spot where he expected me to be, up about nose-high. But I had ducked under his arm, and I used my hands on his waist to turn him faster than he was expecting. He got tangled up with his own feet, and he began flailing as he lost his balance.. "Okay. I'll do it." Are you sure?" Yes." Good. Now, go back to your desk and do some work. Come back to this office at the end of the day and we'll get started." Oh," I said, suddenly remembering that I'd promised to go and see my mum after work. "I can't tonight, I have?" Did you just say no to me? Because you can leave right now if that's the case."Whoops, bad start. I could tell mum something. "Sorry, Mrs Castle. I'll be here at half five." Good. Now go."***The rest of the afternoon passed.
