Shall we use it Sue?’ The college I went to had a full programme of sex education and luckily for me my mother wasn’t as narrow minded as many oth...er girls’ mothers were and she had always talked to me about male and female bodies, what happened to them during puberty and what sex was all about. So when I had suggested to her that perhaps I should go on the pill, ‘just in case’, she was prepared to consider it and, after much quizzing as to what I was actually getting up to and finding out that. About a week ago Pete e-mailed me asking if there'd ever be a chance that we could meet. At first it seemed damn near impossible, I live in the States, he in New Zealand, but as an optimist I told him I'd look into, there had to be a way. I found the way, writing the trip off as a business expense.I can feel his breathing, he's scared of waking his wife, and I know his heart is pounding ninety to nothing, which makes this whole situation even better for me. I move my hips slightly, going in. I was having a miserable time just hanging around waiting for Ben and drinking when this really gorgeous African man came over and introduced himself to me. He told me his name which I couldn't pronounce but it sounded a bit like George, so that's what I called him.We talked and danced for a couple of hours and as I'd had a few drinks, I didn't object when his hands started to roam, squeezing my bottom and playing with my breasts. I was actually enjoying it as Ben had been neglecting me a bit.. “What are you talking about?Earthquakes in California maybe, but not St. Louis!”“Julia, this area sits on the most dangerous seismicareas in the world. I think we are in deep troublebecause it seems like the building has collapsed aroundus. We should listen and see if we can hear anything.”Other than the groans of shifting metal and crackingglass there was nothing. Every few minutes the earthwould shake and rattle the elevator car and everythingaround us. We waited for.
