"You OK?" Charlotte asked and Matthew nodded as Katherine sat down in seat."Yeah, yeah fine."Katherine looked up at him with a smile. "Oh, and thank y...ou for looking after me on Friday."Joseph looked up from his newspaper. "I take it was you that bought her all that alcohol?"Matthew tensed up, butterflies doing somersaults in his stomach. "Umm, well, we umm ... we had those tokens to use up."Joseph laughed as he turned back to the newspaper. "Oh well, only happens once a year." And thank you for. Nor could I say anything at that time. He ordered me to open the door and I did just that. I was not able to say no or do anything else. He came inside the house and shut the door behind him. I was still looking at him with my eyes wide open in shock and surprise.He soon realized what I was feeling at that time. He came near me and hugged me tightly, and doing so he pinched my butts hard.And asked in my ears, “Kya hua, Sanjana? Kuch toh bolo meri jaan.”I was somehow able to utter out these. “Are you really willing to talk to me?”“Why not? We were friends once, and I wouldn’t mind hearing a bit about how things are in the marines,” I said.“Oh they suck,” Walter said with a bit of a moan. “We were drilling up and down the halls until just three hours ago. Sergeant Griffith has made it clear he expects us to be perfect marines by the time we reach Crucibleat and that means we have to start up again in just over an hour.”“Shouldn’t you be sleeping then?’ I asked.“I got three hours,”. There will be other house women there; you can sit with them, but keep quiet. Oh, and to answer your argumentative question, Kate and Martha are technically owned; actually I own Martha and Bernard owns Kate. Just because we trust them and let them work on their own jobs without interference, it doesn't mean that they are any more independent legally than you are. If I were to decide that Martha should strip and dance on the table and suck every man in the room tonight, she would do it..
