”Tinker turned to look at me and I shrugged, “Insystem transports spend a lot of time away from home. Beside she is better than you.”Tinker grin...ed, “You just want to steal her recipes.”He turned away and pulled Michelle after him. I sighed and took her hover bag and the float sled with all my stuff that Tinker had brought. I pulled it into a corner and then went for cots and bedding. Most of the first few hours were spent tearing the ship apart and trying to find the parts I wanted to put. We decided against the internet and opted to drive well over 100 miles to this night club that we knew was frequented by many black men. My 28 year old wife got ready for her night by having a manicure with her nails finished with a shiny clear polish (her nails are very long and hard and some have thought she has fake nails) and a waxing of her pubic hair, Usually she leaves a little blond landing strip but for this occasion she decided to have all her hair removed and she now was as bare and. These past weeks, she had been right there at every waking moment and, tonight, she even prevented me from sleeping. Veronica, on the other hand, didn’t seem at all troubled by her upcoming date with Helen. From the moment her head lay on the pillow, Veronica seemed content, breathing deeply and rhythmically in her peaceful sleep. I lay there, listening and thinking. And thinking. And thinking… I was startled when the phone alarm buzzed, buzzed at 7:30. I must have dozed off, exhausted, and now. Still confused about Ellen's presence near our house, I park up in myregular parking space and change my flats for my heels, but before Ihead into the office I detour via the nearest convenience store and buya box of large tampons. Even though I couldn't be mistaken for anythingother than 100% female and even though I'm using a self-servicecheckout, I'm still self-conscious about placing the distinctive box inthe shopping bag and taking it into the office with me. Fortunately, I'mable to stash.
