The back yard was perhaps three-quarters of an acre in size and was obviously professionally landscaped. And it was secluded. A large stockade fence l...ined the outside of the yard and there were no houses that directly overlooked the yard, although there were a couple of more distant ones with views into it. The focal point of the back yard was the pool. It was large and looked real inviting in the present heat. Lawn chairs and tables with umbrellas were set up on the near side of the pool.. After we finished our dinner, Chachi gave me a blanket and said, “You might need this tonight”. I slept quickly because I was very tired. I woke up late in the morning. Chacha had already left for office. I was simply lying in bed and watching the ceiling. Suddenly my phone rang. As expected it was my mom who called me. While I was talking to my mom, Chachi knocked the door and entered inside my room. I told my mom that I would call her later and disconnected the phone.Chachi seated on the bed. No matter how much she protested her innocence and pleaded with them to give her another chance, they insisted she find her own accommodations and make her own way in life. She had thought her father would be more understanding because she knew deep down inside he liked her better than her dried-up old prune of a step-mother.She had moved in with Tracy her best friend who seemed have her special problems and baggage far worse than Alice's mundane mistakes. Tracy was slim and shapely and a girl. We went to a nice, small, intimate Italian place he knew, and the owner there called him by name. When he got up to use the men’s room, the owner (whose name was, predictably, Luigi) and his wife came over to say hello, and basically to snoop. After chatting for a minute or two, Luigi asked me straight out what my intentions were towards Steven. I must have looked shocked, or maybe confused, because they both laughed. They got up and went back to work before Steven returned to the table, he.
