So it turned out that my sitter became Martha Jane, who offered herservices freely. My Mom tried slipping her a bill or two now and then,but Martha Ja...ne would have none if it. "You don't have to pay me to staywith him," she'd say. "I love Speedy!" This brings me to my nickname. Why I found this name so embarras-sing, even then, is a mystery to me. But I came to be known as "Speedy."My other nicknames were Mikey (from my godmother) and Butch (from mygreat-aunt). Where the name Speedy came from. I was surprised to see that Graham’s little sister had turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. She was a pink-haired goth with sharp cheekbones and a small, slender frame. About the only thing keeping me from walking out on the night was the fact that I couldn’t tear my eyes from her. Sure, I could barely wind my tongue in long enough to speak, but you can’t have everything, can you?The night was a dud. Lucy’s friends, as well as being obnoxious, gradually drifted away. Some couldn’t handle their. She came towards me and took the cigarette and started to take the 1st puff. I got up and went towards the bathroom.I did my morning chores and took a bath. When I came back Judy was ready, but her face showed that she was tensed. She was wearing a yellow shirt and blue jeans 3/4th. I went near to her and asked for the reason.Judy: Varun, please tell where are we going?Me: Ma’am I said na I have got my cousin’s farmhouse in Munnar. We are going to celebrate our New Year there.J: Yeah that’s. ”“Well yes,” I commented dryly. “That’s usually what being pregnant means.”We rang Jason that evening and it’s fair to say that he was every bit as pleased as we were. He rang back an hour later to say he’d booked us a holiday.“No arguments, no excuses, you’re going.”What he should have said was that WE were going!Just two weeks later, we stepped off the plane into the searing heat of the Caribbean island that was Jason’s birthplace. Gayle’s pregnancy wasn’t yet showing apart from her breasts.
