"Hi, I'm Chuck Spellman," he said, extending his hand to Tom."Hi, I'm Chuck Spellman," he said, extending his hand to Tom. "Tom, Tom McCafferty," the younger man said, accepting the handshake with a smile. "Pleased to meet you." "Ah, look," Chuck said, seeing the situation, "it would appear that I'm the odd man out here, so why don't I head on home." "Don't be silly," Janet told him, bringing him a drink. "You're here, so why not stay? I'm sure we can find plenty to occupy you," she told him, her words and her eyes making it clear that she wanted him to stay. "Mark?" he asked, wanting to be sure. "Of course," Janet's husband replied. "Well, all right," Chuck said, taking a seat on the sofa next to Janet. For the next few minutes they listened as Chuck told them what had happened, explaining what steps he had taken to correct the situation, which had turned out to be not nearly as serious as it had first sounded. Janet refreshed the drinks after a while, watching with amusement as she saw Sherry's hand resting on Tom's upper thigh, and saw a bulge starting to grow in his pants. A moment later, Sherry excused herself and asked Janet where the bathroom was, and Janet got up to show her. She led Sherry to the bathroom that was connected to the master bedroom upstairs and sat on the bed as the woman went in and closed the door behind her. |
