She knew no matter what happened the rest of the weekend, it would always be her ‘happy place’ too. They unpacked quickly, grabbed a couple of bee...s and headed on the porch to watch the sun set over the water. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her deeply, her insides stirred. She loved it. She loved his lips on hers, making her feel so desired, sexy and a little playful. And just like that she broke the kiss and took off running towards the water. It didn’t take him long to catch up with. "I showed the film, answered a few questions and took them to lunch. One of the boys put his hands on his cheeks and poked one of the others. I ignored it.I sat with Angela who asked why I wasn't my "ebullient" self. I told her."Oh, don't worry!" she said. "A laparoscopy's about as safe as a tonsillectomy these days." Really?" Really. They may not even keep her overnight."When I got home, Martha was there. Patrick was napping. "Gordy, can I ask you something?" Of course." You're always telling. Your choice. I can cookanything." I could too. All I had to do was activate the 'SusieHomemaker' subroutine, and I would be a gourmet cook. Then I wouldactivate the 'exotic dance' subroutine and after that I would be free. Iwasn't sure what I'd say to Andrew when the hot babe who had just givenhim a lapdance was suddenly a guy, but hey, I'd think of something. Iassumed the wedding invitation would be withdrawn."You don't have to," he said."Yes I do. Fair is fair."His scrunched face told me. She immediately put on the biggest smile. “Oh I don’t know. I think most of the residents are too old.” It was true, not a lot of young people had the money to afford this building. Which made me wonder how old my new friend was. Did she live with her parents here?“Oh that’s too bad. I thought this place would be like, party central on the weekends.” Her smile was infectious.She laughed, more than she should have really. I began to get the vibe that she wanted me. Hey, do you … do you.
