Elaine & Me

Soon both were back down but only Elaine was wearing something different. "Do you like my new clothes," she gasped after her rapid flight downstairs. She wore a pair of chunky wooden platform sandals with a half-inch thick sole and 4" heel. Her tight stretch jeans were rolled up to below her knees and she wore a silky blouse with a plunging neckline that revealed what I assumed was a well endowed 34" chest.

"Well you look great," I smiled looking up from the sports page. "What do you feel like doing this afternoon?" I asked hoping that it wouldn't cost too much on my badly stretched finances.

"We intend to give you some lunch to repay you for dinner last night and then we thought we could go out for a movie later," and with that she turned and headed for the kitchen her heels clacking on the kitchen tiles.

Turning to me after placing some flowers in a vase, Lorraine said suddenly, " Elaine really likes you."

"I really like her," I responded. "She is so warm and feminine. I hope that we can become good friends."

"She likes the fact that you didn't want any pay-back last night and that you were a gentleman towards her. I also think that it must run in the family because I think your brother is a nice man too. Where is he?" she asked.

"He had to work this morning to deal with a minor emergency at a hospital but he should be free this afternoon," I said. "He told me that he would like to see you again."

"May be we could all go out together this afternoon," she said as Elaine returned with some hot soup and rolls on a tray.

"That smells nice," I said. "You haven't told me your good news yet."

"Lorraine and I are going to London in a couple of days time for two long weeks."

"Where will you be staying?" I asked surprised that she would be leaving.

"We have a hotel booked," she added. "While we are away it will give you the perfect excuse to get on with your studies and pass those exams. I wouldn't want to distract you," Lorraine replied with a smile.
