That was enough for me.I would be the first one to admit that I didn’t hold with all this younger generation looseness about cheating and shacking u...p with anyone for a one-night stand. I knew my mom was certainly not a nun or a Saint after we lost my dad but I figured she had her right to choose what she wanted to do from those other married couples that resented the fact she was basically footloose and fancy-free other than raising me and my older sister Serena.My mom might have had her share. “Do you recognize me, Roderick?” Joseph asked in a gentle voice. He kept his hand on Lucretia’s shoulder to keep her from making any movement toward the man that still carried his bloody sword in front of him. Octavia and Bianca remained still as Roderick’s eyes darted from the king to those around him. After a long moment, the man nodded and lowered his sword tip toward the ground.Through the hand on her shoulder, Lucretia actually felt the tension leave Joseph’s body. He gave her a soft. "Now, sweetie, we have to get you changed for the trip. Would you like topick out your outfit for today or can I? Most of your good stuff has beenpacked already." Um, I can pick for myself. Well, what was it that you wanted me to wear?" Just a simple, cute, shorts and T-shirt combo. It's not too girly or toojuvenile looking, if that's what you're worried about. Definitely muchless than what you're wearing now." OK, well, I guess I can wear what you want me to wear, then, Mommy,"Mom said,. She used to come to our house and have long chats with my mom and sometimes even I was involved in some conversation about her. Since my mom had told her that I was a shy boy and was not so much into girls and ‘those’ matters so Neha aunty didn’t talk much about that (actually she didn’t talk with me, about girls, at all). We usually talked about my studies and soccer and upcoming events. So I couldn’t put any step forward in the direction of letting her being attracted to me.About a month had.
