“Seriously? It’s Saturday and I’m not in the mood for sses at all.”


    Before reaching the door, Megan changed her mind and sat on the couch in the study instead. Looking


    at Carlos in admiration, she said, “Aunt


    Debbie, Uncle Carlos speaks English so well. He used to teach me


    Actually, my English grades improved vastly, thanks to his tuition.”


    The more she droned on and on, the more she irritated Debbie. ‘Such an airhead! Can’t she just leave


    us alone?


    What joy does she derive from being the third wheel all the time? She keeps showing off her


    rtionship with Carlos again and again! I must put an end to this, ‘ Debbie mused.


    Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind. She cradled Carlos’ neck and kissed his short hair. It smelt

    “Aunt Debbie, Uncle Carlos has agreed to let me join you for the ss.” With a haughty face, she had


    her chin and nose up in the air.


    Instantly, Debbie fumed, but she did her best not to lose her temper.

    Why not?”


    Sitting on the couch with Debbie and Megan on either side, Carlos began his Lesson.


    In a minute or so, Debbie casually put her hand on his Lap. Every now and then, she adjusted herself,


    getting closer and closer to him until, at longst, shepletely leaned into his arms.


    asionally, she’d give him a peck on the cheek or earlobe without
