In fantasies, I can be anyone I want, do anything I please. I can
follow my impulses and indul,ge my wildest desires. Best of all, my
fantasies are oompletely anonymous,especially the dream about stylishplus.
MEGHAN UNPACKEO her suitcases for the second üme that day. 'Well, tt's been
anything but boring 80 far."
"What do you mean?" The charms on Julie's brace1et jingled as she
flipped her hair over one shoulder.
"First, a gnome propositioned me and you made me into this week's
charity case. Then, I had to wrestle my underwear away from a modemday
pirate."
Julie let out a peal of laughter. "A gnome and a pirate? I don't
remember including them in our advertising brochure."
"The gnome isn't importane' She opened a drawer and laid her Ung,erie
inside. "As lor the pirate, he's the gorgeous guy whose suite 1 checked ìnto
by mistakee".
"He wasn't wearing your underwear, I hope. "
"No,he only fondled it." Instantly, she recalled the sight of her bright red
panties draped over Nick.s olive skin-and her burnìng desire to be
wearing the Iìnge the the next time he got his hands on it.
He can only imagine how my straitlaced big sister must have reactedl
What did you say to him?"
Meghan affected a nonchalant tone. Jules was 50 easy to teas'e. ":1
agreed to spend fhe night with him."
"Excuse me?"
"He asked me to have dinner wìth him."
"Oh." She sat back in the chair and reached for another piece of the
almond-crusted brie. "That's a relief. 1 thought you meant一"
I'm planning to take him, for a lover."
"Excuse me?" Julie's voice rose to a squeak and she dropped the
cheese back onto the tray.
"l said-"
"1 heard you." She shook her head, her tone emphatic. You are not
serious."
Meghan planted her hands on both hìps and answered with a steely
resolve . I' m quite serious. He's great-Iooking, charming and very sexy. I
thìnk Nick would be a perfect lover."
"You've never taken a wrong step ìn you:r entire life. I doubt you'lI start
now." Julìe dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand and picked up her
cheese again. I'You need a nice, steady guy with a house and a dog, a guy
who'll be loyal and dependable."
"Based on that descriptìon, I shou.ld just get the dog. I'm not lookjng for
a reJationship, Jules."
The End Of The Marriage
Time progressed and we were all getting along fairly well. Ernie met and married Atma, a girl from the neighborhood Harry's station was in and was one of the regular customers on the shoe store. Harry had a rather expensive hobby. In his living room were two 50 gallon salt water aquariums fìlled with tropical fish. Harry was also an extremely avid fan of the San Francisco Forty Niners football team. Mter watchi11g one of the games with Harry at his house when the team lost， he became irrationally over emotional. He went into fit,and tipped one of the fish tark onto the floor. There was salt water and fish everywhere. i didn't understand why he was acting that way,he hadn't even lost any money on a bet. Erin was too young to remember this incident, but it was not the kind of behavior i wanted her seeing. So Carlene and i decided it was time to find another place.
It didn't take long. Ernie and Atma had found a two bedroom house that was
affordable if we moved in with them and shared a11 the expenses. We a11 got along and they liked Erin, so it was a good arrangement. Time went on and Erin grew big enough that she was getting pretty mobile. She was already crawling around the house at 5 months old, and we had to be careful not to accidentally step on her. So we got her a baby walker. It was about two and a half feet in diameter with the seat inside of a flat, plastic table resembling a doughnut. 4 legs attached it to a thin lower ring that the wheels were attached to. i liked to refer to it as Erin's house saucer. 1t had six wheel suspension and two feet drive! It was kil1d of neat to put Erin in it and watch her scoot around the house. It helped her learn to walk quick and at 7 months she was walking around the house without it.
While living with Ernie and Atula, i stumbled on a couple amazing things.
Everyone knows dogs are territorial. When one dog barks, it sets off one or two more of the neighborhood dogs to do the same. They are talking to each other and it's as if the first dog says, 'Be aware you guys, i'm on duty here". Then the second dog says, "Yeah, well i 'm on the job too". The third dog says, "So what, you guys just keep to your areas, because I'm watching things over here".
Well roosters are the exact same way.When one crows, it sets off others to do the same. I've told you all this to set up something that happened one day. Ernie and At1na had a dog who's 11ame escapes me for the moment. She was a cross between a cocker spaniel and a collie. The dog was blind in one eye, rarely barked, and deaf, or so we thought. But she was smart. Though she couldn't hear us, she would respond to hand signals.
One day i happened to be in the backyard with the dog. She was watching the
birds flying around, and just occupying herself by playing, throwing a tennis ball with her head and chasing it. This is when i discovered that roosters are territoriallike dogs, and something else remarlcable. A rooster on one side of us crowed. This made a rooster in back of us crow, and then one on the other side of us did the same. As i listened to his and watched the dog, she perked her ears and looked in the direction of the first rooster,Then she did the same thing when the second rooster crowed, and again at the third. The dog wasn't totally deaf.it was just limited to hearing sow1ds in a small range. Wow, just a small miracle in itself that i happened to be there and was able to see that she could hear the roosters.
