letting him take her.
While he talked she began to fantasize. About him standing there naked. She let her daydream play out. She imagined him exploring her body with his lips. Groping her buttocks and breasts. Making her moan in a way that she was yearning to for so long. The thought of his big strong hands having his way with her, and the idea of him pleasuring her passionately from behind was too much and she started to become moist at the thought.
She immediately dismissed the images from her mind before they grew any stronger. She flicked through Jane’s phone and then placed it in front of him. He read what was on the screen.
Jed 202-555-0110.
“You know, you’d make a very good P.I.”
She laughed and then dialed the number on her phone.
“Hello?” said a gruff voice on the other end.
“Hi, is this Jed?”
“Yes, who is this?”
“My name is Sarah, I was one of Eddy’s school mates back in high school.”
There was a long pause on the other end. Sarah thought maybe Jed had hung up.
“Hello?”
“…What do you want? Why are you phoning me?” he asked with a harsher voice.
“I…just wanted to check if everything’s okay.”
This isn’t gonna work , she thought. He’s giving me a colder reception than Eddy’s mom; I have to think of something else.
“I’m fine, please don’t bother me anymore. How did you get this number? Look just…just leave me in peace.”
He was about to hang-up. Sarah had to think of something and fast.
“It’s about his death…”
There was another long moment of silence on the other end. Sarah decided to continue.
“There are some things that just don’t add up you see.”
“What things?” asked Jed.
“I think it’s better if I show you.”
“I…I don’t know,” he replied with some hesitation in his voice.
“I’m convinced that the real killer is still at large sir, and I’ll continue digging until I find him. Don’t you wanna stay in the loop at least? He was your son.”
“…Okay.”
“Great!” said Sarah, suddenly perking up. “I’ll meet you at your place, I can leave now, I just need the address.”
“No, no, I think it’s better if I come to you. I’ll meet you outside my, I mean my wife’s house in, say, two hours?”
“Okay” replied Sarah and then hung up the phone.
“Wow,” said Sunny with a look of utter astonishment on his face. “You are one silver-tongued chick you know that?”
She stuck out her tongue, and looked down with her eyes crossed.
“I thunno it ooks kina hink to me.”
Sunny laughed, again.
“God you are so goofy sometimes.”
She smiled and continued eating her fries. They sat there and talked for a while. They talked of old times and the trouble they both used to get up to, the time that Sunny crashed his car into Mrs. Bodily’s garden, about everything. Sarah felt closer than ever to him. That night, in that diner, she finally let go of her inhibitions and kissed him. Sunny could still taste the ketchup on her lips. He felt himself succumbing to the moment and before it took over, he immediately withdrew from her.
“What the hell are you doing Sarah?”
She looked at him, partly in shock and partly in shame.
“I...I care about you Sunny. I always have. I wanna be with you. I love you.”
He was speechless, he looked out the window, thinking of what to say.
“I love you too, but just as a sister.”
“You’re lying,” she said with confidence.
“I…even if I did love you, it’s wrong.”
“But it feel so r-“
“Stop messing around Sarah this is serious.”
“I am serious. I meant it when I said I wanna be with you.”
Sunny felt the same way. He was getting turned on thinking about her, of tasting the ketchup on her lips. He found his eyes begin to trace her slender neck. He immediately
