“I understand.” He stood up ready to leave.“Charles wait.” Charles looked up at Gulara waiting for her to continue.“What I’m about to say ...tays between you and me understand?” Charles nodded his head.“As you are the only male in your Mother’s life you might be the only one she trusts enough to get her through this.” She reached into her desk and pulled out a bottle of pills and handed them to Charles.“Give these to your Mother and they should knock her out, tell her that I gave them to you to. ” George clapped his hands together and that made Ingram startle and sit upright.“Standing on principal,” George said as though awestruck. “I’ve got to admire you.”Well, it’s...” Ingram started to say.“Three hundred jobs, Wes,” George interrupted, “three hundred families with the rent paid and food on the table.

Make a date for later, but not tonight. Tonight I want you to come home and make love with me!” I honestly could hardly contain my happiness at that minute. “I love you so much, you know that don’t you?” She pushed me toward the door, telling me, “You were ready to leave her for me. Sweetheart, that’s all I need to know. And, thank you very much, I love you too!” ooOoo As I drove, I thought about what I was going to tell Jacqui. I’d tell her about Michelle wanting us together, but not about her. Our coffees arrived as other diners started to leave, the men glancing knowingly towards me and smiling.

Can’t say I blame them – Marina seemed to be up for anything tonight.Leaving the restaurant, we had the elevator to ourselves. It was only a couple of floors but we were groping each other as soon as the doors closed. Quickly adjusting ourselves as it came to a halt, we walked the short.
