Against The Odds (33 page)

Brad tried to reign in the horny
thoughts that flew through his mind. He had a flash of her hair
bouncing wildly in rhythm with her breasts as she straddled him. He
could not take his eyes off her back and watched the way she leaned
forward to shake hands with Jeremy’s friends. Jeremy wondered off
to get her a drink at the bar and Brad noticed how she shifted from
one leg to another impatiently as she made conversation.
Good,
she is a little bored. I think I can do something about that.
He forced his eyes off her and decided to join Jeremy.

Jeremy was standing at the bar,
ordering a glass of white wine for her.

“Bradford, how are you? I didn’t
realize you had already arrived. How is your dear
mother?”

“Hello Jeremy. I am fine and so is my
mother. She sends her regards. She asked me to tell you that she is
so sorry she could not attend today, but that she will make it up
to you later.”

“Good, good. I am so pleased that you
made time to be here. I know how you young people hate attending
these book launches. Thank you, my boy.”

“Sure, no problem. I am always happy
to be here.”

“Who did you come with, the usual
crowd of young lions?”

Brad laughed.

“Yes, I am afraid. We have plans
later, so I dragged all my friends here. Mother said she was not
sure there would a large attendance, because the book is so
unusual. So I thought I would bring the boys. Is it
alright?”

“Yes, of course. I am pleased that you
tried to help. But as you can see, things look pretty good. I had
better get back to my special guest. An old family
friend.”

“Alright. I will speak to you
later.”

“I would like to introduce you to her.
Perhaps you lads can take her out later. She is visiting her
father, a friend of mine. He is not well, so she has come to see
him. You know John Spencer?”

“Oh yes, I know him. He is a friend of
my mother. But I don’t think I met the daughter. Where is
she?”


She is standing over there
with the black dress. That is Colwyn Spencer.” He indicated with a
nod.

“Oh yes, she is very exotic, isn’t
she?”

“I would not describe her in those
terms. She is a very sweet young woman who takes life too
seriously. She is an architect out there in Oakmore City. She likes
the noise and commotion and fancies old buildings. She is exotic,
you say?”

“Yes. There is something unusual about
her. I noticed when she walked in. She is highly
confident.”

“Yes, very much so. She is a loner.
She is nothing like her father. Come, let me introduce you now,
otherwise she will be stuck with all my old friends for hours,
talking about her daddy.”

Bradford smiled in satisfaction.
Great stuff.
