The Lady Blue 7

That night, I had difficulty getting Gary off of my mind. Memories of us were impossible to ignore.

I remembered the time I got caught being in Gary's arms.it was during one of those endless parties my parents put on.
I was outside on the front porch when I turned to see him approaching me from out of nowhere.
     "What are you doing outside,ma cheri?"
      "Nothing, I replied in a near whisper as I felt one of his hands lightly brush my lower back.
     "You looked like you were very deep in thought."
     "To be honest, I was just wondering why you won't ask me to dance at our parties. Would you tell me why?"
     "Babe, I can't dance with you," he said gently. "It just wouldn't look right, ma cheri."
      "It would be nice to know that you wanted to though," I pouted, Gary's face just inches from my own.
      "You don't know just how bad I want to do that." He embraced me and pressed his body against mine. It was then we heard the front door open and Pa's footsteps on the porch. Gary jumped back releasing me.
      "The party's indoors," Pa said, slipping one hand around my waist. "It's best you be going inside. He thinks the world of you, no!"
