..Yes, Babygirl?” he asked. “It tastes good, Daddy,” I sleepily whimpered. He seemed to relax then, pulling the first small lolli away again. It... was only a second til the bigger, warmer lollipop was pushed against my tiny mouth. This time I opened my mouth without hesitation, now more prepared for the size of the bigger candy. Daddy pushed the larger, drippy sweet into my lips-- too much making me cry out and push back against him. What I felt then also startled me, my small fingertips touching. Hey, John… Yeah? Look at me, please, she asked. John complied, and as soon as he did it, he felt something sweet and moist on his lips. Soon he realized what Jenny was doing to him, and started kissing her back. …Jenny? …I love you, John. I have loved you for a long time… I… I hope… I hope you dont hate me for this. No, I dont hate you, Jenny… In fact, I love you too. I was afraid youd reject me, so… He was interrupted by her sudden kissing. He now believed he was in heaven. …Really, John?. He may have been glaring at her, but Charlotte couldn’t read him. His gruff voice rang out again, “Hey. Lady. You’re the job chick, right? For Lindal?”“Oh, right... Yeah,” Charlotte said quickly. Lindal was the name of her client. She had been under the impression that Lindal himself would be the one reaching out to her. “I was supposed to be contacted with a place to go to meet up with Lindal.”“The plan changed.” The beady eyed alien stared at her for a moment, sizing her up. Reluctance sat. I would have been super-surprised at Christmas. You’re just lucky that I didn’t find the ring first.”“So should we cancel the party?” Molly asked.“No,” Phil concluded. “This is Hailey’s big night. I want all of our friends to help her celebrate it. She deserves it.”“You’ll need to get an engagement picture taken soon,” Tiffany pointed out.“The newspapers will want the story,” Bob added with a nod. “They’ll probably be pissed off if we don’t call them about the party tonight. You’ll need to.
