I was on my way back when Karen called me. I was glad to hear her voice again. She had called to say sorry she said. ‘For the stunned press release?...’ I asked. ‘No, for the pictures that are about to be published.’ She said, adding that it had been her manager’s idea again. Puzzled by what she meant I couldn’t really say much. I got home and put the news on. There was Karen walking out of a club with a very hunky looking man. He looked like he kept his brains with his razor, and didn’t use. But why Vapula? She is a teacher, her powers cannot reveal hidden truths or grant you any protection.”Ryan stared at the ground, his companion watching him curiously as he formulated his reply.“Back in the apartment ... I felt so powerless. Armed men came into our home and tried to kill us, and I couldn’t do anything about it.”“You killed one of them,” Nahash said in an attempt to reassure him, but he waved his hand dismissively.“Luck. In any other situation, I would have been killed, and you. ‘OK, here goes,’ I blurted out. ‘I’m married… to Dylan.’ ‘What?’ A look of concern clouded his face. ‘But didn’t you say…’ ‘Well, last night, I didn’t really get to finish telling you about what had happened to me. And Dylan was the last thing I wanted to think about once I saw you. I am so, so sorry. I did not intend to keep this a secret.’ ‘So how did that happen? I thought you broke up.’ ‘Well, we did. But I think I got interrupted when I was about to tell you how I ended up transferring to. We spent some time on the beach. No bikini top can really contain my tits, so I was walking around out there in the sun with most of my boobs exposed, and this bottom that was too small for me. I knew Al liked it, because I could see his erection in his bathing suit. His eyes were just eating me up. What teenage girl would not like that attention from her lover? With all my slutty behavior, I had never done a man Al's age in a motel room. Or anybody in a motel. The whole thing just seemed so.
