"I put my arm around her waist. She put her hand on my ass and we walked up the steps onto the porch and into the house to the emotional greetings of ...my mother and the staid ones of my father.Father led us into the parlor for some holiday cheer. Mother explained, "Jess is taking Thanksgiving break from Bradley University to go home to Vienna (pronounced Vy-enna in southern Illinois, where it's located). She will be there through the Christmas break in order to tend her ailing mother." But what. " They look very lovely in their outfits." " Lovely?" Tyrone laughed. " They're damn hot especially your wife." Rob nodded his head." Ladies, we have much to do." Devon waved them towards the car.Rob hugged his daughter and kissed his wife on the lips. " I'll miss you." " Me too." Maria turned to walk away.Rob watched the girls walk away and enter the long car. He noticed Devon walked towards him carrying a small package in his hand." Happy viewing." Devon handed him a DVD jewel case. " This is. Turning toward her with one knee now up on the couch, he raised his arms and made tickling motions with his fingers. "Or else... this!" He launched himself across the small distance separating them. Grabbing her on both her sides, he tickled.She fell backwards trying to escape. She was trapped by the arm of the couch. She pulled at his hands and kicked with her legs. She was giggling and thrashing half across his lap. "Stop! Pleaseee stop! I got to go peeee!"Her hair had gone wild. Somewhere. She especially felt she had to hide what she was doing after telling me it was too dangerous to do it again.She was going out whilst I was at work on shift and most times getting back home before I returned. Then there were the times when an argument seemed to erupt out of nowhere that I now know were to give her an excuse to storm out.She mostly went back to the "Granby Head" as that's where she'd been originally picked up but also because the landlord was giving her free drinks in exchange.
