“One more?”“Certainly, ma’am. Coming right up.”Devin disappeared, and no sooner had Nancy sat than a vodka and soda appeared before her. Nan...cy looked up and saw Ben, another favourite of hers. She rose and hugged the startled black man. “Ben! I missed you! How have you been? How are your studies?”Ben backed away and looked nervously about. “Ma’am, very good thank you.” He leaned in and whispered. “We missed you. Please don’t hug us here? You know how Mr Carter gets?”Nancy frowned. She did. Suppose he disowned her. Then I thought aboutall of the shit she's gonna have to put up with in school and with therest of her family but she's courageous enough to do it. And here I ambeing a coward." But she has a lot less to lose. She's not the one with a high profile joblike you." That's bullshit! She made me realize what a coward I've been all theseyears. Hiding behind something that didn't really exist. Exposing myselfto blackmail for a parasite like Mulberry and who ever else wants to. Me: Good afternoon, Miss…?Mom: Right. Let’s set some ground rules for this session and possibly future ones as well. You will speak only when I allow it.What’s with the stern tone all of a sudden? She talks just like she did on the phone.Mom: You will address me as ‘Mistress.’ And you will do as I ask. Am I making myself crystal clear? If not, you are allowed to leave now.Me: Yes, mistress.Mom: Good boy. Follow me.I follow Mom through the door and arrive in a lusciously furnished chamber. This. I remember how horny I was earlier online, how hard I came and then I’m thinking of when I was on a bus in Thailand travelling through the night. It’s a perfect example of the contradiction in saying my girlfriend is shy. The bus is well into its journey and after a last stop for food and drinks the driver has turned off the lights and most people seem to be sleeping or at least, dozing. I am on the inside and looking out the window, as I never seem able to sleep on overnight rides like this..
