Show Me Your Game Plan

Nonnie saw the two boys running up the sidewalk. Michael Roberts and Tee McGee, young boys still all arms and legs with a promise of what was to come stamped on their bodies and faces.

Richie stepped out on the sidewalk and lit a cigarette. Now there was a man. Unfortunately she knew him too well. She went to shrink away from the window but he’d spotted her. He always looked in her direction when he came out of his office.

She opened her door to be out of Mr. Jessup’s line of vision. "Hello solicitor."

"I need to see you, Nonnie."

"You always need don’t you, Richie. It’s never I want or would you like is it?"

"I would like to see you."

"You want to get into my panties."

"Damn straight I do. I Just want to be with you. I’m taking the boys to the movies so I’ll have a couple of hours. Ride with us."

"To Coffs?"

"Yeah. I’ve got Michael Stanley’s flat, I probably need to um check on it."

"How dare you even suggest that I would go to that place with you. That’s where you took Libby. You’d better be on your way. Of all the…" She turned away in disgust.

"Every time I get around you I fuck up."

"Perhaps you’d better start thinking with some other part of your anatomy." She held the door for him to leave.

"I’ll be back. Count on it." He said in her face as he passed to the door.

Nonnie closed the door and locked it with a little smile on her face. She did love the solicitor but unlocking her door for him every time he had a ‘need’ wasn’t in her game book.
