I don't even know how long this kiss lasted before I wake up to the fact that it is happening. Nanoseconds, minutes, hours or forever. I can't tell. I... is the sort of kiss you can get lost in. It is gentle and pleasurable, it is a getting to know you kiss which can lead into the exploration of other areas of sensual pleasure. Yes, sensual, a kiss to be savoured, slowly and at length. Not the lip mashing mouth to mouth resuscitation type kiss much loved by story writers, but the sort of kiss. Everyone understood to get a plane ride you had to show proof of lodging and were able to travel around the city for the weekend, because I wasn’t responsible in any way, nor was the MasonGroup to be held responsible, for lodging or transportation.Once the plane taxied up to the gate and everyone got off the planes, everyone was on his or her own. And it was made clear to everyone as to when the planes would be leaving for home, and there would be plenty of time to arrive for the flight, so. “I mean it. I want to grow old with all three of you,” I affirmed, actually bringing tears to Nicky’s eyes in particular.“Nancy never said things like that to me, but you have. Thank you,” Nicky told me with misty eyes, “I feel very much the same way for my part, given what all you have done for me ... and with me, of course. I’m your boy for the rest of my days ... forever, really.”“And we’re your girls ... both of your girls ... and both of us your girls. Isn’t English a funny language?”. It sounded like they were alone, but Rose was still scared. Had her past come back to haunt her? With extreme caution Rose stood and went to her bedroom door, which was slightly ajar. She peeked into the hallway. No one there. She opened the door, and flinched when it creaked. But nothing happened. Rose slowly made her way down the corridor to scope out the kitchen. It was empty. She flicked on the light. Silence. The room was as she left it. Feeling relieved, Rose went to stand in the middle.
