"After a deep breath and a hint of a smile, Celes continued, "I had a friend, who was the only one I felt safe fer tellin'. She let me cry on her shou...lder an' get it outta my system. We got closer, an' one day it just sorta happened. She's t' one what taught me ta play with meself. Then we was in the bath t'gether, an' washin', an' we just started touchin' each other. Once it happened, I realized I had no need o' beasty men an' their poles, when 'nother woman could make me feel that good." Not. “To have sex with me.”John looked like he wouldn’t say anything as he took a bite out of his grilled cheese. But then he said, “Yes, I know. And I’m happy about it. And I’m sorry I’m not a better husband, but, well…” he tapered off.I looked at him and shrugged. “OK, then.”After doing the few lunch dishes, I had an hour and a half to get ready, longer if I took advantage of the extra time men gave women, which I didn’t plan to do. I showered. I put on a casual dress, which in itself was pretty. I started speeding to kyles house going about 60 mph im a 40mph zone when i got to kyle's i knocked on the door and he answer. i said "is it true" he answer my saying "yes im so sorry" i turned around and ran back to my car and started driving home. kyle was driving right behind me so i pulled over and told him to stop following me. when i got home my afternoon meal was waiting for me but i wasnt hungry i went to my room and cried my self to sleep.the next day i woke up at 6 in the morning for. "Gonna stay and watch?" Her eyes twinkled again.Frankly I would have preferred to talk to her, but it was clear she was busy. I thought I might get home and get some sleep. Maybe we'd get to talk tomorrow before the party. "Ah, no. I think I'll go." Then I remembered I wanted to call Annie. I could do that tomorrow too. "Actually, I couldn't get Annie's number while I'm here, could I? I'd get it from my office but it's closed for the weekend." Bit late to be calling her isn't it, Roger? I would.
