Camfrog video chat pro put the drinks video chat programs the coffee table and lowered himself into the armchair across from Victoria. They sat for a moment and looked at each other over their drinks. Victoria sipped the fizzy liquid and moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue. Jim sipped the scalding brew in his mug and waited.
“Uncle Jim, I need to ask you something. It’s for a project at college.”
“Ask away, I’ll help you any way I can.”
“Uncle Jim, are you erm, are you gay?”
Jim laughed, throwing his head back and grinning broadly.
“Victoria, the answer to that is no, definitely not.”
“But you’ve never been married and we’ve never seen you with a girl.”
“That’s camfrog video chat pro I never married because, when I did fall in love with a woman, she was already married and compared to her, nobody else measures up. I’ve been out with a few women, but you were too young to realise that they were my girlfriends.”
“What was this woman like, the one who was married?”
“Is married. She is tall, dark haired and has these deep brown eyes. She could make me want to laugh and cry at the same time, still can in fact. She’s been married almost as long as I’ve known her, most of the time camfrog video chat pro happily.”
Victoria leaned back and looked around the room. She noticed, as if for the first time, the photographs that lined the walls. Almost all of them had been taken by Jim and most showed her with parents. Pride of place went to an enlargement of a photograph that Jim had taken of her, just after she had been presented with her scholarship. In it her mane of dark chestnut curls tumbled down her shoulders and her deep brown eyes seemed to glow. Suddenly, Victoria recalled Jim telling her how she had so closely resembled her mother when they had first met. Things suddenly became clearer and with an almost audible ‘click’, Victoria realised who the married woman was.
“Uncle Jim, that woman, she’s my adult chat programs isn’t she?”
“Victoria, I’m not saying.”
Victoria just looked at the rising blush on Jim’s face and she knew that she was right. Suddenly, her plan seemed to be going a young astray. She looked again at Jim and saw that he had worked hard to keep in shape and, even though he was old enough to be her father, not just her godfather, he was lean and hard muscled. His dark curly hair had the faintest sprinkling of silver and his eyes were still a clear greenish blue. Victoria’s mouth went dry and her heart hammered in her chest so hard adult telephone chat lines she thought that Jim must have heard it. |
