She hugged me even though I stunk of sweat and kissed my cheek and told me I did a great job even if I lost. She even suggested the other boy had chea...ed.I mentioned our deal about working full-time again and said “I guess I should request more hours now” (I was still working part-time). She grabbed me by my face and gave me a big kiss on the lips. It was nothing romantic, but still it kind of turned me on.

I won’t take advantage of her.”“And when she gets over being wounded?”He looked at her sharply as if realizing where this conversation was going. “Anastasia, this is about us,. I asked him where we were going to go tomorrow and he said he really didnt know Sharon made those kind of decisions. She was not gone long and Frank stood to let her slide back into her seat.
