Whatever you need. I'm totally here for you." Will you, ah, go to Overeaters Anonymous meetings with me? And sit in a meeting with me the first time? ...I'm scared to go by myself."They have those?"Sure Bev. Of course, whatever you need. Why didn't you ask before?"She shrugged."Because I'm a sucky friend, that's why," I said."I wasn't ready," she said.I blinked."You need me to go on a diet with you, I'll go on a diet with you," I said. "You need to just walk a block, then we'll do that."She. "That was entirely truthful even though it left a lot unsaid. Gerry realised that and his response was equally careful."OK, I can quite understand that but I enjoy your company and really would like to see more of you. I promise not to put pressure on you for anything other than that. Please change your mind."Isobel looked at him steadily. There was no guile in his eyes although she did discern some pleading."All right," she said softly.Gerry resisted the urge to take her hands. Instead he. I lost my balance for just a second but quickly recovered. What the hell is going on? How can I be dreaming about kissing a half naked Shannon in her garage? If this was fantasy then where did the basis come from? I'd never fantasized about Shannon before. I had always treated her more as a second sister. And now here I was kissing her. I had no clue what was going on or what to do with it. And the hits just kept on coming.Without warning I felt her start to press her tongue against my closed. Fuck it, no tip likely here then but it was partly my job to see her safely to her room. “Can I get you anything?” she asked as we went in and I said I was OK so she asked me to hang on for a second and disappeared into another room.A few minutes later she emerged and I nearly fell over and the look on my face must have said it all. “Something for you now?” she said, standing in front of me in a tiny black thong and bra. I know what I’d like to have said, but it was more than my job was worth.
