“Yeah, good point, she’s really zonked.” “You don’t think she took something do you?” “No, we don’t have any drugs on board, we don�...��t believe in that stuff, and no one had clothes on so I don’t how they could have smuggled something aboard.” “I think she was fucked silly and is exhausted.” “You men don’t think we women are doing anything when we’re fucking but I assure you we are working as hard as you and she and Samantha may have set the boat’s record for bedroom work this. I will ask her what she wants -- tomorrow.I went to my boss, the XO and told him I needed a day off.It was a Wednesday. I didn’t say anything to MaryAnn on Tuesday. Wednesday morning I told her I wasn’t going to work and when the kids got on the school bus I wanted to take her to breakfast. I know she was thinking the breakfast place on base or maybe Denny’s. For this talk we went to the big hotel in downtown Albany and had a real breakfast with eggs Benedict and Champagne.When we finished. I rose unsteadily to my feet and once I was composed I motioned to Brandon and we headed out of the house, leaving my mother to her cooking. We hopped in his beat-up piece of crap of a car and we drove the 10 minute drive to the mall in silence. When we got there we got out and the mood lightened enough for Brandon to start talking again, he wisely didn't ask about my mother or the monster school. We just walked aimlessly around the mall talking or Brandon flirting with every female we passed.. It was a Saturday night and Jason and I had plans to attend a party given by a mutual friend, however, at the last minute he called and cancelled saying that he had to work on a midterm paper that was due Monday. I offered to help him work on it, but he told me to go to the party and have fun. I was reluctant at first but finally relented when he persisted I go. So I called Jack and asked if I could ride with him since he didn’t have a date. He said sure that he would be happy to take me. Jack.
