They were lean and muscular, exactly the shape the army hammers all recruits into. Craig also had a modest growth of hair on his chest and stomach (un...doubtedly the army would take credit for that too) that made his tanned skin seem even darker. Her son was handsome, a fact that Chris was proud of even if he looked a lot like his asshole of a father.Chris watched the slow rise and fall of his chest, hypnotized for the moment, lost in a sense of pride that she had raised this fine young man all. I was in bed a little after two after a snack and showering. I set the alarm on what I called my "Buck Rogers" watch and put it under my pillow. I stuck it there so it wouldn't bother Sandy and used the watch instead of resetting the space age clock radio we used. It had alarms for both my and Sandy's hours. If I tried to change mine I always ended up screwing up Sandy's setting too. I'm a light enough sleeper that its little alarm would wake me but under my pillow no one else in the room would. Ericka steps in and out from the kitchen every so often while she cooks to join in the conversation. Eventually dinner is ready and they all eat together, and continue to chat and have a really nice time.Maria gets up to go use the bathroom. She realizes she's been there for two hours, even though it only feels like it's been thirty minutes. Before coming over, she was feeling really nervous about this whole thing, but now she's feeling a lot better and is really enjoying herself. She finishes. The bus passed in front of me from left to right, it was empty and the driver probably wanted to be at home or somewhere else other than the country road he was driving down. He was probably just as glad to be rid of the crowd of brats her had to drive around every day after school. The red tail lights disappeared over a rise in the road, just a swirl of rain and mist behind him.It had been raining all afternoon and I waited for the wet mist thrown up by the bus to clear away and then pulled.
