“They were not heavy for me” she said teasing me .
“Yeah off course , there is a painting too”.
“Why did you buy this painting?” she said looking at the painting.
“I liked this”.
“What’s so nice in this ??, its only mountains” .
“Oh , a small boy was selling them , no one was buying them , I thought maybe I should help him by buying one of his painting , he painted this himself , I just wanted to help him , and I helped him ”.
“ It’s nice and yeah thanks for helping that boy and most of all encouraging him to paint more”.
“ Thanks ”I said and I stood up , “I must go now” I said and kissed on her foreheadand I begin to go ,I came to that old but new for me truck that I bought , she was standing on the door , I went near to her , “I have one more thing to say”
“What is it Jack?” .
“Adam heard your voice yesterday and he is buying things to trap you ,he says this time he is going to catch werewolf alive , he wants to present a Werewolf in front of people , so I need you to be aware of him”.
“He can’t do anything and yeah I will take precautions”.
“Thanks, be safe for me” I said and she smiled looking at me .
“I will be” she replied .
“So I must go” I said and opened the door of my truck .
“Wait” she said and I turned back .
“What ?”
“You forgot something , come here ” I went near to her , “you forget to kiss me before going”.
“Good nights kisshah” .
“Yeah” she said and we kissed .
“You were kissing a lot , I am also having a strong urge to kiss someone now” doctor said
“After you write in the report that I am not mad you can go home to kiss your wife or if you have some affairs , I don’t think that I need to tell you what to do in that case” .
“I am looking forward for that ,and yeah I don’t have any affairs , I am a proud husband.So what happened next did you hadintercourse that night ?” .
“No”.
“What are you mad ? You let the opportunity pass away” .
“We were in love”.
“But doing intercourse is a part of love” .
“Yeah , I know that that’s why we did that later”.
“All right then continue your story , I will like to hear that part , and so what happened next, did something important happened ?” .
Night to remember
We met daily but Yeah something important happened on 30 a day before new year’s eve , I went to Olivia’s house she opened the door .
“ Hey , how are you ” I said kissing her .
“I am fine come on in”.
I went inside .
“So Olivia are you ready for the new year’s eve party?”.
“I don’t think it’s right or not for me to be there Jack” .
“It right , nothing is wrong in this, what can be possibly wrong”.
“People don’t like me and I am living alone since a long time , did you saw them ,how they looked at me at the Christmas party”.
“No , I was looking at you , I didn’t got time to move my eyes from you to look at them but I am sure they would be looking at your beauty”.
“Oh really ?” .
“Yeah ,really, I want you to come to the party for me , not for them , not for the persons who speak rubbish about you and by the way you are not going to turn into a Werewolf that day, so there will be no problem” .
“Yeah I am not going to turn into a Werewolf that day”.
“I have something for you” I said and opened my bag
“What is it?” shesaid trying to look at the present .
“ I saw it while I was on the way , it was just hung upon an ugly portrait in the market , I just stopped and looked at the dress , I thought about that dress , I thought how miserable it is, how bad she would be feeling to be hung on a plastic , how lonely she would be feeling without an owner , so I just took it”.
“Oh” .
“Yeah , I just helped the dress and I brought it here , so this dress can have a beautiful owner”.
“I will wear this at new year’s eve party”.
“Thanks, thanks for coming to the party” I said and Olivia looked at me , “ the dress will also say thanks to you when you will wear this dress” .
“Then I will just say , it’s my pleasure to wear you”she said and laughed .
“Oh don’t say that , its ego will increase if you will say that”.
“Oh , I will not say then, I don’t want this dress to have ego”.
“Yeah it will be good then” I smiled , I put hand inside my bag , “oh god I said” .
“What happened ?” she asked anxiously .
“I don’t know from where did it came inside my bag, but it’s inside”
“What is it? , is it a snake” she said making fun of me .
“No , it’s not snake if it would be a snake , I would be lying down on the ground , it’s something shiny” .
“What is it?” she askedcuriously.
I brought it out , it was a shiny blue necklace .
“Oh a necklace , it’s really beautiful”she looked at it .
“Yeah , its shiny , it’s not beautiful, things are not beautiful humans are beautiful , like you are beautiful , it’s just a shining stone”.
“All right I got that , so you don’t leave a single change to talk about how beautiful I am” .
“ I don’t even want to miss these little chances but by the way what to do now ,I don’t know from where did I got that ,really , so I don’t know to whom I should return this , I don’t know where is its right place, would you like to try this , maybe it can find its right place on your neck” .
“Okay , I will see”.
“Let me help you ” I said and helped her with that necklace.
“I think this necklace has found its place , it is finally where it should be” I said looking at it .
“You are such a nice story maker”.
“Am I not a nice lover ?” .
“No , you are not”.
“Oh what made you say that?”.
“I said that because I felt that”.
“Don’t hurt my feelings dear I love you so much , ok , Ok as you say” I said and hold her in my arms and I lift her up on my shoulders .
“Hey all right , all right , you are a nice lover and now please let me come down” .
I dropped her on the floor ,from a low height she felled down .
“ It was so rude ” she said holding her arm .
“Yeah it was , but that was your punishment” I said smiling .
“I am not going to talk to you now, you tried to harm me”.
“Hey don’t punish me like this , will you like to dance with me , as there will be people dancing tomorrow at the eve and I want to dance with you , just with you ” she turned and come towards me .
“I don’t know how to dance , I never danced before ” .
“Neither do I” I said and she laughed , “Really I don’t” I said again , “but I have seen people dancing and I am sure we can learn it now, as we say in America there is first time for everything”.
“All right if you are sure then we should practice” she said
“All right let’s start then” I turned on the music on my I pad and went near to her“mam would you like to dance with me ” I said lowering the head .
“ Yeah , I will love to”she gave me her hand .
We begin topractice ,we were doing it like kids , we don’t know the steps , but we were enjoying ourselves , we were enjoying our time together , I was not wasting any single second by closing my eyes and was continuously looking at her smile we were loving that , we were enjoying .
“Now I am going to lift you up” I said and lift her , we just loving dancing together , it was a nice feeling really , we did pretty well , then
I got tired , I asked Olivia , “am I going to burn up if I will kiss you today?” .
“No you are not going to burn today ” she said lowering her eyes down , she was feeling shy .
“Hey do you love me?” I asked we were holding each other .
“Yeah I love you , and I know what you are thinking at this moment”.
“What am I thinking , I said in a low voice”.
“You are thinking about having sex” .
I stopped dancing and looked at her , she had her head down , “hey look at me” I said and she looked at me .
“Do you want this ?, I am not going to force you if you are not ready”.
“I love you Jack” she said and kissed me , it was like I was kissing her for the first time , I was feeling really different at that time .
I am not going to tell you more about this because if I would , you will not be able to tell this story to your kids before they reach 18 .
“All right don’t tell then, it’s also way too personal and not related to my subject of consideration” doctor said holding his eye glasses up.
“Yeah ”.
“So just know that we had intercourse that day and yeah it was my first time”.
“What , were you really virgin when you was 21?” doctor asked .
“Yeah I was , do you have any problem with that?” .
“ No I don’t have any problem ” doctor laughed again .
“Will you stop laughing , I am happy that I was virgin till I was 21, proud virgin”.
“You know what if I would have remained virgin till 21 my friends would have called me gay , that’s why I did too early , to prove that I am a strong man ” .
“I am sure you regret that day now” .
“Yeah I do regret” .
“You regret because you never loved that women you had intercourse with” .
“Yeah I didn’t , my heart couldn’t allow me to kiss her but I did it with her” .
“Don’t cry now doctor , you can cry when you will be alone , thinking about that” .
“Sorry ,but now I know one thing that one should have intercourse only with the one you love , it’s my opinion ” doctor said and removed his tears with the tissue papers .
“Will you keep control on your emotions ?” .
“Yeah continue” doctor said .
The next morning when I woke up , Olivia came near to me and said “good morning”, her eyes were shining due to the sunlight which was coming inside through a hole .
“Hi good morning” I replied and I kissed her .
“Would you like to have some coffee” she asked .
“Yeah would love to ” I said and she went away .
She came back with the coffee , she gave the cup to me
“Jack I want to tell , it was the most incredible night I ever had , I loved being with you”she said holding my hand .
“ I too had the most incredible night of my life and the day too was the most incredible , I love you Olivia , you complete me , I am so fortunate to be with you , my life has no meaning without you , I just want to be with you , I want to love you always and more than this I want this love to increase per day ” .
“Always really? , will you always love me ?” .
“Ah , okay I will stop loving you when the stars will stop shining , till then I am going to be with you , till then I am going to love you” .
“By the way stars have stopped shinning now and there is a big sun in the sky” .
“I meant it in philosophical sense” .
“I loved it,I love you more than myself , you came to my life , this is the best thing that ever happened to me and I believe you , I believe in you Jack” she said and hugged me .
“Olivia will you like to come with me to the NewYork”.
“What ?” she asked in surprise .
“Yeah New York , that’s where my home is , momand dad will love to have you there , they will treat you just like their daughter”.
“I can’t leave this place Jack , I am warm , and Ican’t live in hot places”.
“But New York , it is not that hot”.
“I have tried this before Jack when I was child , I went to Miami with my mother where her parents live my skin got burnt , I am not that powerful Jack to survive heat ”.
“But you can heal your skin right ?” .
“But it pains really when my skin burns”.
“So it pains ?”
“Yeah”
“All right then , I will remain here with you , after college I will start a business here , we will have 3-4 smart kids ” I said this line very fast hearing this she laughed , “tell me one thing will they born Werewolf or will they be humans?” I added .
“I don’t know”.
“Ok then, I will search on Google for that” I said and she smiled again .
“If Google will show that they will be Werewolf then what will you do?”.
“We will haveWerewolf kids then , I don’t care whetherthey will be Werewolf or humans , really I don’t , but yeah It will give me pain when I will have to chain them for a night”.
“Yeah it will really ” .
“Oh god it’s so amazing , if I will be father of werewolves and you the mother , we will be the king and queen of the dynasty think about this”.
“Ok my king ,so you have thought about becoming king” .
“ Yeah why not??”.
“ My king ,You should go now otherwise your servant Gerard will call your parents”
“Oh let him , I don’t care for what he do , but I must go now , if I will not go now , then how will I meet you at night” I stood up and said .
“You must wear clothes” she said looking at me .
“Yeah , I was wearing them I was not even planning to go out without them, where are they?” I asked smiling .
“They are on the bed” she said .
“Oh thanks” I wore them and we came out of the house , it was really cold outside , “will you like to give me some heat before I go”I asked looking at Olivia .
“There is a heater on your truck”she said pointing at the truck .
“All right as you wish” I begin to go , she came and kissed me .
“Thanks” I said looking at her , Belly and Kelly turned their face away , and I picked up a stone and threw at them .
“You can look at us , we are not doing anything which you both can’t see” I said .
“Don’t tease them”Olivia said .
“Okay , I am not teasing your pets” I said and sat on the truck .
“They are becoming thin , are they on dieting?, are theytrying to attract a male?”I asked Olivia .
“Ha-ha why not” she said smiling , “they are not on dieting and there are no males in this area , they are in forests miles away”.
“So how did they come here”.
“I don’t know , maybe someone brought them when they were small and left them when they grew up , if someone will see them on the roads they will kill them ” .
“Oh , then you are their savior” .
“Yeah I am a kind of ,you can think of me in that way, all right i will see you at the party, I will be there Jack” she kissed me on the cheek and said .
“I will wait for you at night” I said and I went away .
New Year ’s Eve

I reached home Rita was there standing outside , she had a expensive car , a silver one , I think she was there to show off .
“ Oh what do she wants now ? ” I said and came out of my truck .
“Hey Rita , how are you ?”I said and went near to her .
“Hey Jack , I came here just to invite you totonight party”.
“I am invited to that party”.
“Oh you are ?, I thought no one invited you , so I came to invite you”.
“Oh thanks for that , really thanks for caring for me , will you like to have some coffee?” .

“Rita he is my friend , Gerard”I introduced them .

“Would ,you like to make coffee for us all Gerard, please ”, he looked at me , he wanted to talk to Rita but I guess , I disturbed his plans.
“Ok I, will” he said and went inside .

“Mayor is the biggest person in the city , you know what , after my father will become Mayor I will be the most powerful person in this place , oh , Jack you don’t know the powers of the mayor”
