"I've never been with a guy since."I've never been with a guy since. I thought for a long time I was gay, but I couldn't do that, either. At least, not on Earth, I didn't know how to find out. I asked Ember what I should do, and she said talk to you." I smiled. My little granddaughter has a conniving mind. "Kitty, what are you trying to tell me?" "Ken, Ember told me that when she was fifteen, you and she...well," and her hands made awkward, suggestive gestures. I smiled. "We made love, Kitty, for the first time, for her. Kitty, is that what you want from me?" She looked up at me. There was a pause, the light of the night and the sound of the band very much in the background. Her lips moved, but no sounds came out, but then, "Yes. Yes I do. Ember told me you were very gentle, and... I need that. I need you to be gentle with me." "Here?" I asked her quietly. She thought, a smile on her lips. "No. There," she said, pointing to the beach by the Vinyare ocean. "'Sup to you" I said. She nodded, and then, with a "See ya!" she vaulted over the railing and dropped the fifty feet or so to the sand down below. Damned Telekinets, I swore. And she's a show-off. Probably just enjoying it. But I've got technology on my side. Mentally I searched for the switch in my head... *Dave, I need the following... * and rolled out a string of requests for him. |
