In fact, he regularly worked for a company as a temporary agent. He had been working for them for two years, but decided he needed a break from working forty hours a week. He didn't have a family to care for any longer, so he saw no need to work too hard. He may not have what h

It only took a few seconds to cross the road and at that time he decided to talk to her. As he walked closer to her, he noticed her outfit. She had on a long-sleeved white silk shirt. It was buttoned at the third button from the top. This allowed him to see her white lace bra. Her breasts w

They got off the bus back at the downtown stop to get onto the bus that would take James home and to get something to eat. James found out that Joycelyn was still in high school and was graduating that year. This made him question her again about her age, but like before she answered the same. He looked quizzically at her and finally asked her for id. She laughed at him. But he insisted and she showed him her id. It said that she was eighteen. He didn't pursue it. She attended one of the most violent hig

In front of the wall next to the closet was a small Armoire with his 36-inch television on it. On that was his DVD player. He had a queen size bed with satin sheets, sky blue in color. The bedspread was flowered. His pillows were in white pillowcases

He was usually the one who did the serving. He enjoyed doing things for women. As they ate, they continued to talk. They didn't talk about much; they were just making small talk. After they finished James took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them
