“Yes Sir,” She handed him the phone. He called and had a conversation.
“I understand Sir. Will do.” He put the phone down and walked to his room. She stretched and yawned, reached up and pulled him down and kissed him.
“You like it here Nikki?”
“It’s fine, yes. Why?”
“Because I thought we might have a change.”
“Oh yeah, when?”
