"I started to wheel Banzai into the room when he complained, "Jack, do we really have to?"I laughed in reply, "Hell yes we have to! It's time for you ...o pay for your crazy assed heroics." And then I pushed the wheelchair into the room...Flashback – Tatiana – At the hospitalJack pushed Ben's wheelchair into his room and amazingly there stood President Putin with several of the military commanders of Russia. I was shocked that the President was still here since he was not known for his patience. I sat up straight. "Yes, Sir."I waited for the fallout. I anticipated being thrown out of his house or at least yelled at, though I was pretty sure he wasn't going to get violent. He did none of things, opting to stare me down instead. I felt supremely uncomfortable and wondered for just a moment if the sex was worth it.Who was I kidding? Of course, it was worth it.After what seemed like an eternity, he leaned forward in his chair. "How do you feel about my daughter, young man?"That was an easy. We went to a nearby shopping mall and entered a garments showroom. We right away went to the women’s section. I moved to the ladies jeans and leggings section. I selected a dark blue tight legging and showed it to her.She said – This looks too tight and sticky.Me – So what? Don’t you like it? From its fabric, it looks like it is very comfortable.Nisha – That is right. But it’s too tight, and it will reveal my figure too much. I will feel shy wearing it as it may grab the attention of the men. The counters are all polished marble and the table top is solid redwood. Faith and Danielle opened the fridge and started transferring plate after plate piled with Thanksgiving leftovers onto the table. The five of us managed to eat only a small fraction of the food that was there.The conversation meandered through a variety of unrelated topics – some serious, others not so serious. I wasn’t completely silent. I spoke a few times – answering questions and so on. But mostly I was happy to sit.
