I'll try to make sure Bobby is there." You really are the best, John." Mary Jo kissed my cheek and hurried back into school.School ended and I hurried... out. I needed to catch up with Bobby. He wasn't out when I got to the parking lot. His pickup was there, so I waited. Tracey had a meeting today, so I expected to walk home."Hey, Robinson," he said as he opened the door. "Missed you at lunch." Yeah, I got pigeon-holed, sorry." No big deal. Need a lift?" Yeah, if you don't mind, but not home.". Taking her now damp beach towel with her, and dropping it on the laundry pile just inside the door, she went and got ‘their’ 4 towels out of the closet, and placed them on the counter in the bathroom. Every morning, after whatever additional chores he had for her, she ran a small load of laundry, ensuring that they had clean, fresh, towels every day. It was one of the small simple chores she had come to find so comforting.Looking around the bathroom, satisfied that all was ready, she turned on. Can I buy my bra back now too?" she asked. Betty picked up her bra. "I have your bra over here," she said. "I think the rules say you can only buy things back from the bank. You'll have to win your bra back from me." Ok," Sharon said. "Enjoy the view while you can guys. You're going to be out of your pants shortly. By the way, who lost this hand?"We all looked around at our hands. George, Kristen, Jim and Betty all had ace high hands. Remember this game was played with two decks, so there were. ..You know..the whole Eric thing," Lana hesitantly ventured."Of course I remember you." His voice was cold and collected."Can we talk? I really need to talk you. And not over the phone...if that's ok?" Yeah, it's fine." So...can I come over?" Sure." OK, well what's your address." 877 Bethan Court. It's not far from your place." Thanks, I'll be there soon." Alright." Bye." Yep."Lana hung up and breathed a sigh of relief. It was such an awkward conversation. But she didn't understand why AJ was.
